Over the weekend, my sister told me of some "expereriences" when she was a young girl of about 12.
They involved the JW husband of our elder sister. She had married a "pioneer" at age 16, the husband was maybe 22 or 23. And he was a creep!. One day, this pioneer husband took the group into service, and as group leader he arranged the pairs, and he chose my sister (his new sister-in-law), the 12-year-old, as his partner. When the got inot the car, the drove off but then he said "I have left my bible back at the house". So they drove back and he said to my sister "Can you come in and help me look for it, I think I left in in one of the bedrooms". Does this sound familiar?
So they went together back to the house and once he had her in the bedroom, he lay on the bed and said to come and lie down with him, that it was alright and no-one would know anything! My sister, only 12, told him NO and ran from the house.
On other occasions, he put his hand between my sisters' legs while together in the car, attempted to tongue-kiss her, etc. Anyway, as it happened a few times my sister realised NEVER to go with this guy ever alone again. And it seemed the attention stopped as she grew, and as she never was alone with him anywhere.
Now, my big question to my sister was "Why didn't you tell anyone?" So my sister said that she did eventually tell Mum, who was the JW parent. Mum may have said something to the wonderful JW son-in-law, we don't know. But this is interesting: my sister didn't want to tell Dad because she knew that Dad, who hated the JW's and especially hated the son-in-law, would KILL HIM. If you knew my Dad you also would realise that Dad would KILL him. Or he would beat him to an inch of his life. No idle talk here. Dad had been in WWI and had personally killed many many men, including some in hand-to-hand fighting. And my sister didn't want that, for whatever reason a 12-year-old girl who loved her father a lot, has.
My elder sister is still married to the same creep. They are still JW's and are waiting for the New System. The creep's father was also a paedophile; my elder sisters first daughter got an infection "down-there" at 18 months old; they took her to the doctor who said she had been interfered with. Of course it was the grandfather, another JW. An alcoholic paedophile, who pioneered!!
This all occurred over 40 years ago now, the grandfather pervert is long dead thank goodness. I was only a baby/child at the time so a lot of these things were before my time.....
Funny follow-up, many years later, when Dad was probably 75 or so, the sister and JW husband were visiting and for some reason, Dad said something which upset the JW son-in-law, and he threw his glass of beer in Dads face. Well that was not a smart move. Dad was up and decked him! 1 punch and he laid this bastard out cold! Thats was so cool! Dad was 75 and this guy was like at least 30 years younger! I was so proud of my dad!
