oh good to hear back from you again!...can relate to you lots.
Ms. patrick was gone by 1980? oh, wierd, i had heard that the patricks had moved to Oklahoma or some such. there is a boy that was on the farm there in 78, his name is Fountain , he runs the home i believe called, Bethel Boys...not clear, but 12 sets of parents are sueing Herman Fountain homes...of course with him growing up on the Roloff farm in Corpus we all can realize just where he got his training and philosophy...
remember of course Mrs. Yoder???
and minix and was Taco still there in 1980?...what about Sheri Compton?
Faye Cameron would have probably beaten her grandbabies and let them bleed and think it was something God was pleased with her doing...the idea of beating a child in Jesus name even to the point of making the skin break and may bleed, is anti-christ!...it is NOT the Spirit of Jesus Christ who has shown me such a gentle patience as he sat and waited for me to come to him and know that the Camerons didnt know who he was...obviously!...discipline is good, but their whole take on it is evil!...not many other churches fear state oversight, cause most other mainline churches do not fear Government trying to run thier lifes, and or take the country over with communism...in fact most other church child care places WELCOME it, cause they dont have anythign to hide, ... sincerity in life and ministry dreads no inspection...
well, social skills have never been a plus sign in my life...lol....been on the outside looking in as far back as i know...
i think everyone who went thru that place left with some scars, some of us more and some of us less. each one has a unique story to contribute to the public awareness, as it is needing to be aware of these kinds of places that hide from Gov. oversight like it was demonic...they were all very paranoid that Gov was getting too communistic, HUH! they lived like a communistic cult!..makes you wonder if they all were doled out the same wages if they worked there...hum...would do me good to check on it i suppose..
hurray for you on the no skirt and dress stuff.,,go girl...i love dresses and skirts, but that is just my personality style, tho most times i wear jeans during week
your family sounds like they dont get it, more than likely because it is painful to them to see see how bad it was...my family is that way, its taken a long hard road of patience on my part to get even my siblings to hear some of the truth...even my bro, who was in lighthouse, he still had to deprograme from thier brainwashing and find the truth to be set free...
i have been in counseling for going on 8 years, and it has made my family glad, cause I was getting well, but then they also were confronted with the horror of Camerons and Rebekah dorm life..etc
i am glad that your family is listening to you...for many years, i walked alone in my illness, they all assuming, it was all my fault...but time has proven that there is something wrong with roloff teachings..
thanks for writing on here again,
it takes time to heal, i know, been healing for quite a while...
if there is an effect, follow the string backwards, and the cause will be there....

This is also true of my years since 1978. I have lived most of my life in my house. I have moved in the world around me out there, but not in "normal" ways. My bedroom has been my spot to sit and study and seek out answers in reading and searching books, and meanings in things.
recovery for me has taken me down a long single road. I have had a counselor. But, The work of healing has been up to me.
Carrying the "Spirit" of Survivor upon me, has helped me to stay stiff against the currents of others who were ignorant of just what I have been up against.
a Fighting kind of "bulldog" sink my teeth into the belief that I can be all I was meant to be when I was first created. Not what Roloff demanded I be, not what Faye Cameron or Mrs.Wagoner or Minix or Wiley told me I "ought" to be or what thier wierd twisted views said I ought to be. but WHO GOD had originally created me to be to begin with.
Its those persons there in Rebekah and Roloff mindset thinking , that stole my mind from me, and pushed thier lies into my head, trying to snatch my soul for thier own little clownact show.
NOT God...they lied to me about who God was...
it was lies, and it is that which I have found out from my own searching and seeking after truth, that has set me free from thier lies that stole my mind and thoughts and ability to think my own way or have an opinion of my very own.
Knowledge is what they hated, they hated to let any in thier cult to have access to knowledge. Yet, the book of Proverbs that they love to quote, on some verses and ignore the rest of it, tells us to seek out knowledge and to gain knowlege...
but these cult roloff people try to use fear to make thier followers run in fear away from anyone who wants to talk with them in rational reasonable ways.
Roloff cult pesons, love to give formulas that leave out facts, such as:
1+2+__+8-__=?.....
they do not promote cause and effect thinking. cause if they did, then thier followers would catch on to the fact that they are lieing and decieving and leading people down the road to hell and death adn misery adn bondage...
truth ALWAYS makes sense!
truth IS, and is not just a "formula"
truth pans out and is,
1+2+4+8-5 = 10!!
truth is like this calculation, and it adds up and pans out and always works all the way thru, cause it is REAL and solid and based on solid principles that WORK...not on overchewed screwed up twisted thinkings of man...
The dictionary and I have become the best of friends during my years of recovery. I have found out since healing that without a good websters at my side, I was nearly gonna always misread everything others were saying in the normal outside world, cause of the WORDS...the meanings of the words were scrambled in my stay at Rebekah home...
And when I began to define out clearly the meanings in words in what I heard and or read, things got much more hopeful for me...
in cults, they take words and kind of toss away the meaning that is correct and right, and then go and redefine the meanings and when you sit under that twisted upside down thinking for a year or even more, then it gets pushed into your mind of course, that is what they call, "brainwashing" and "Mindcontrol"...
to undo a lot of that, for myself, has been to search for truth, truth that pans out and makes sense and is defined according to a set definition by some authority such as the "Websters" dictionary, or any good dictionary...
simple tactic, but very effective...
well, that is my input for today...

What Is Christian Music?
Posted by Between the Lines to RMrattlesnake

For years, before his death, Bro. Lester Roloff thundered that rock music is the most destructive influence on teenagers today, that it is so addictive it has a hold on them like dope, booze, tobacco, etc. And this is true of so-called "Christian Rock," or "Contemporary Music."
LOL. This article quotes Lester Roloff about what is Christian and what is not Christian. "Brother" Roloff (may he rest in peace) also proclaimed television, dresses that are not ankle length, movies and any co-mingling of boys and girls to be sins. And I am sure that if he had lived long enough he would (between child beatings) have proclaimed the internet to be a sin also. Roloff was a Fascist-like cult leader.
We should be very careful who we quote as an authority on what is or is not Christian.
In case you are not familiar with the Roloff Homes for Children (the Lighthouse for boys and the Rebbecca home for girls) let me give you a little background. In the early seventies abuse charges let to raid after raid of the Roloff homes and led to criminal charges and investigations that continue to this day, along with a never ending string of lawsuits. What types of abuse and crimes you might ask. For example: making boys run barefoot through briers and cactus, beating children with sticks, trapping boys in a 15 foot deep pit and then getting other boys to join them in urinating on the trapped boys and throwing rocks at them. Everything I mentioned has been proved and there have been convictions for them. Doesn't sound very Christian does it? And this article is going to quote him as to what is Christian?
The Roloff homes for Children are probably responsible for more nanny state legislation on children's homes that any other single cause. And every Christian children's home in the country today uses Roloff's example as an example of what not to do.
