i want to be clear from the start that I don’t have any proof to support or backup the parts of this chapter which are not about me – but it is important they’re aired. This part is written based mostly on conversation, gossip, and what little information it was feasible to drag out of people.
I would like to take a break from my story and finish the tale of my first girlfriend and the horrific abuse that she suffered and the contribution to this abuse made by the local body of elders.
She was viewed as a bad organisation particularly by one family, and they were regarded as making a point of making sophisticated and not so subtle attacks against her any time they were with people. At the time still bruised from the split up I lapped this all up and joined in, i can only hope that I have done enough good in my life to make up for this severe misjudgement, I’m truly sorry N.
Remember that this was a girl of 14, not a grown lady.
As this family of harpies attacked more, the girl and her big sister were pushed out, no love was shown, and the brothers brazenly talked about how hard they were. She was eschewed. The two girls were insulated from all but a few real folks.
It was later uncovered though I believe it was known for a period of time, that their pop had abused both the girls sexually, physically, and mentally for a number of years. He was a serving MS at the time. By the point this truth was made public my old girlfriend was sixteen and dating ‘worldly’ men. Witnesses from the congregation would disregard her if they passed in the street, which was awful to see that once stunning face twisted by a sequence of horrible circumstances. No attempt was made to help her or reach out to her in light of what she had endured, in fact if anything the badmouthing got worse. I don’t recall if the father was disfellowshipped ( that is not even a word ), but I don’t recall any public announcement. He disappeared shortly after.
the absence of love, and in fact rabid loathing of this girl did not cause what happened next in her life, but it made it worse. This was the least Christian thing I have noted in the Jehovah’s Witnesses.
She became pregnant at 16, with a drug dealers baby. The person if I can call him that, frequently beat her, and pulled clumps of her hair along with skin from her scalp. I would see her often in town with bruises, and those sad eyes of a person who has been defeated. The daddy was put into Mount Joy – Eire most notorious jail for drug offences and swore he would kill all the family is he was released. The mother and 2 daughters ran from the country.
I don’t know what occurred after this – but had even basic Christian beliefs been applied, I don’t believe her life would’ve been so hard. The specific elder that induced the campaign of hate went on to start on me next.
In the next chapter I will get back to my story, including my attempted suicide at 16 – and the final clarity this experience brought to my life.
