wow Kim! you go girl! that is good to read your story here...i am also a survivor of rebekah home....
but it was very shattering to my spirit and will...
i recall about the PB ...every one did love it, i beleive they put Bee's Honey into it to make it that sweet... and i was in the home in the late 70's....
once Roloff flew us girls out to the intercoastal canal...something wierd happened when we got there and it had to do with the PB sandwiches...
i believe the PE Coach with us girls there on teh coast, adn we had JUST got there...then she says we have to go right back, and well, roloff himself had flown us...but we were waiting for the PB sandwiches from Wingert to arrive...
but after we were told we had to go right back, (we had only been there about 10 minutes), i have no memory jsut a blank hole, and no memory in all these years to tell me how i got back, when and in what manner ....
i am now in my 40's...that was when i was 14.
adn never in all these years have i ever been able to pierce the darkness of the blank hole in my memory...
there were only two ways to get to the Intracoastal canal, by boat or by plane...Roloff flew us out there, and that was an event for us girls, but the memory freezes into snow like a old tv set...then nothing but blank spaces...
except for years of PTSD flashbacks that tell a different tale...

hey yo....they gave you MEDS at night in Rebekah in mid 80's?...thank you for saying this!...thank you Kim for saying it....
do you think it was like psyche meds? or was it for coughs and colds or what?.....
I have read that haldol and also thorazine have produced missed periods for the length of time a body is on it...i.e. for the entire year...
I have heard and read this...
I have also heard somewhere that in some of the other roloff shootoff homes these drugs were being fed to the girls, and I guess boys...without parental consent...I dont know.......................................................................................................sighs.....................
1+1=2 still , the last time I got my calculator out...
when I was there I recall two black girls, one from the Virgin Isles or somethign....she had that english accent adn an afro that was so kewl....she was a bit for Roloff to show off, cause she was not from just the "States"....
the other black girl was very much a talker and she loved to laugh...
thank you for sharing your story and your bits of information about the small details, it helps the others ....

Don't stop there-If in fact the Camerons are operating somewhere else we must do something about this!
How many more girls 20 years from now will have to seek a website to vent their emotional damage from these people????

I am really unsure what the meds were... not everyone got them. I didn't... you could get cold medicine if you had a cold, or asprin if you had a headache. I know a few girls had epilepsy and got their med for that. We were also able to get pads then if we were on our period, or shampoo/conditioner. I know some of the girls were not sure what they were getting meds for, they were just supposed to go when they called "med call".
Thinking of the pads when we were on our period makes me laugh as I remember this... alot of us were used to wearing tampons.. well that was just unheard of in Rebekah... HA! Well I decided I could make tampons... I used maxi pads and took out the absorbant and used string from the crafts we had to cross stitch.. it really worked great and about 10-15 of us were using them for about 2 months (I look back now and I am not sure how sanitary or safe they were..oh well), but then someone told on me and I was on "confinment" for about a month....
Ya know it was like a totally different world there.. everything we did, how we improvised.. putting vasoline on our eye lashes for mascera.
I remember "Bible Memo" just chanting bible verses over and over everyday for an hr... to keep sane I finally came to where I could say the words but be in a totally different place in my head. I daydreamed when I was there like crazy, that was my only form of sanity... you could not trust many girls, so many would turn on you to get ahead, but I did meet a few that were true to the end that I wish I could see or hear from. We have a bond that you just can't understand unless you were there and went through it... I did go to the Rebekah Alumni web site to see if anyone I knew was there.. but I did not want to list my name, it seemed like the only ones listed were the "brain-washed success cases". As many of us that were there over all those yrs.. and only about 20 or less are listed on that Alumni.. that speaks for itself. Here is that web site if your intrested.

I do wish there were something I could do about the Cameron's still being able to hurt more children. I found this story on the web last night and thought you guys may be intrested in it. It was written 2001.

If any of you know any other good web sites to find information I would love to see them.
