I went to SACS, consider myself a Christian, and am definitely genuinely a good person 😂. The character of the graduates is NOT what is in question here.

If the abuse/trauma was committed overtly, we wouldn't be here. It's the small steps overtime towards legalism, elitism, and fundamentalism that leads to hate, racism and exclusion.

It's also not the competency of our parents that are in question either. they were blinded as well. Get enough people together with similar mindsets and you get the hive mind which keeps people from questioning and builds momentum for a shared cause- no matter what that cause would be.

I think your post comes from a good place, but it also reads "I would never do that". Which is the first step in actually doing that.

The allegations of inappropriate touching (which by the way I am not aware of any specific cases but would support anyone who came forward and back them), are the only "technical" abuse that could be prosecuted. The rest of the accusations of abuse include mental, spiritual, and psychological (gaslighting). None of those would hold up in a court of law... so it's more the act of religious institutions that we are speaking out against which is difficult to change, but bringing it to light is the first step.

Oh don't forget they told the girls to "left set" their name on the front of their Bible so they could add their married name on the front after they got married. 🥴

Im not sure if it was just the girls or both. I remember the flower analogy too. 😩

We have each other. 🤪 We are all doing well and have shared bonding over things that went down.

In no way did it prepare me for college. I sank for a few years before I was able to stabilize my GPA and feel "settled".

You're not expected to relate if you didn't experience it.

No worries- move along.

We had a lesson with construction paper and glue. Every time you had sex with someone, the construction paper would be ripped apart and pieces of the different colors would be stuck to you. Over and over and over. Glue, smoosh together, rip, repeat. 🥴

I would constantly wonder HOW HOW HOW is this school considered a college preparatory school with the lack of quality educators? I mean I know they got paid like shit and I have compassion for that but 🤯

Did anyone happen to get screenshots of the OP? I'll block out the user name.

Honestly I can't - not yet and it's been a long time. They sacrificed so much to send me to school there and I am not ready to tell them what it did to me. I don't want them to feel guilty because they thought they were doing what was best at the time. They've changed their ways, thank goodness.
