This may have been discussed before but did any of you have crazy strict parents...I mean did they have even more strict ideas than what the religion already had put restrictions on?
My stepfather had been a crazy drug/alcohol addict before dragging my family into the "truth"...then it seemed he became obsessed with the religion. Honestly...I don't know which was worse! He became strict about everything....no tv...no radio...no worldy books...a few toys....he even felt that most of the young people in the KH were bad association so forget about having friends. It was tough being an only child in that setting...all I was allowed to do was study....he felt that playing was a privelege so I wasn't allowed to play everyday. Anyone else go through that too? I'm sure I can't be the only one!
I would appreciate your experiences,
Josie
P.S. My mother had talked to the elders about this once....they basically excused it as him being "overzealous" which was actually admirable!
