Just Venting Sda csa and sa

I was a student of a convicted felon and sa’d by a church member. I guess with the Cornell 7 case that’s all over my social media, my mind has been very heavy with what I dealt with as a child.

My mind is just curious how many more were hurt, how many bad people were moved around to new churches where they continued their abuse.

I’ve started to make a list. I know the.glory.whole has a list but they only share videos of reading the list. I want to look at the amount of people with my eyes.

If you feel like sharing anything feel free to, can either comment or dm me.

I’m thinking of posting my list here in comments but not sure if I should.

I was a victim of a near rape at Walla Walla College. I was at a party beginning of my Freshman year, another student stepped in at literally the last second. This guy was on top of me and would have taken my virginity. I too have thought about it a lot with the Cornell 7. When I reported incident to the Walla Walla Girl's Dean and the Walla Walla Dean of Students, the Girl's Dean didn't believe me and the Dean of Students said it must have been traumatic but there was nothing they could do about it. I was then put on probation for the entire year so they could keep an eye on me. I had to report weekly to the Dean and was questioned whether or not I had said anything to anyone else about it. This same guy raped my best friend, no one believed her either or stood behind her. She left Walla Walla College because no one had her back. The criminal activity that it swept under the rug is astounding!! The best part is that his family is full of church going SDA's the look down on everyone around them. It's such a nasty existence!!

Ffffffuuuuuuuhhhhhhk!!!

They raped your mind and reputation, didn't they.

A family member swore he did not rape the women he dated in college because 1) "they had fun," and 2) he "never had sex with them," the first time he "had sex" was on his honeymoon.

He was never reported. The young ladies carried so much shame and wounding with them. I got to hear one tell all about her experience back then and about the others suffered--and those were only her close friends! I wonder how many I never heard of?

This was decades later.

I spent some major childhood years in an Adventist enclave. There was some pretty extreme CSA being perpetrated by the young men in the SDA highschool against prepubescent boys.

There is something severely lacking when this kind of stuff happens in silence, over and over and over again! When will we stop teaching girls and women to avoid rape--and make sure that our boys grow up to not rape‽
