I was in Rebekah during 80-81 and NEVER were there beatings. This is the biggest bunch of bullshit I have ever read. Even when girls came in fighting they were never hit. And people that say they were brainwashed. LMAO!!!! I believe this is the way they cope with how they screwed up their lives.
I wasn't happy when I first got there either, but I got over it. I realized I wanted to change, so I got my act together and studied hard. When I left I was able to graduate 2 yrs. early. So, I decided to go on to college, I worked hard and paid my way through school got my PhD. am now a Forensic Anthropologists. I work with a CSI team, they are all great. A woman can have an exciting career and a home.
I am married, we decided on no children, he has a 21 yr.old. I always knew I wouldn't have kids, I just wanted a husband and a home, the career was a bonus. We make time for each other. I wanted to have my husband, to be happy and to travel, just the 2 of us, and my step-daughter if she wants to come along.
I just wish people would stop making up stories about the past, nothing bad happened in that home, I lived it, I walked the halls during the night, it was a peacful place, the Camerons cared for us girls. I loved Bro. Roloff, he was sweet and I loved going to his house and eating cookies with fresh milk and hear his stories, just like a grandpa.
Anyway people, I have fond memories. :wave:
