How many of you were the same age as Preachers kids and hung out with them and actually got to see how far worse Pentecostal PKs are on average than their
peers? I hung out with my Preachers sons and dated their cousin who was also a PK. Needless to say they were the ones who introduced me to Hardcore Pornography
at the age of 13. They were also into drugs, drinking, shoplifting and all sort of mischief. But in their defense they were victims of an abusive, overbearing
Father who used to beat the crap out of them whenever he wasn't abusing his wife. The preachers daughter I dated was a 17 year old virgin who was deathly
afraid of sex but once told me she wanted to get raped so she could experience sex and it wouldn't be a sin seeing it was against her will! WTF?

Most of the PKs I knew where not a lot worse than average, I'd say. Some, but not a lot.

Oh yes, I used to go round town with one girl - who was 3 yrs younger than me and she was shoplifting from every shop and i didnt know it (i was very naive
then). A few years later she was the one sleeping around with a guy far too old. Feel quite sorry for her actually.

I knew of a couple PKs who had gotten into drug use, and/or crime. But they were also adopted, and from what I understand, they were poorly behaved as children
too.

I'm a PK and I didn't dare do anything not approved by my parents because people in the church loved to tattle about me. Once my stepmother even
suspected that I might have misbehaved, I got the beating of my life.

On the flip side, I know a PK who just about singlehandedly destroyed her dad's rep in the 3 years they were here. She had them so snowed, it wasn't
even funny. It was SAD that two grown people could be that blind to their little girl. Her own older brother once made a disparaging remark about her (in the
sense of "let me tell you all about 'sweet' little sister") and their parents asked him to please leave if he was going to lie about her that
way.
She broke their hearts by eloping while they were at church. I mean, totally crushed them. She and her hubby moved across the country. About a year ago, I found his MySpace page and he hinted on there that they had divorced because of her infidelity (no surprise to me). My parents ran into hers at a church function a few months ago, and they told my mom that the divorce happened because he refused to stop drinking, had gotten kicked out of the military, etc. HUH?? I don't doubt that he probably does enjoy some libations but the other just doesn't add up. I remarked to my parents that even in her forties, she's still managing to snow her parents, and they're still absolutely blind to anything bad about her. |

I was PK and it was hell for me. My mother always made me feel awful, as a child I was kind of hyper and she would tell me I was the worst kid in church, I
walked around too much and got the other kids to play with me during church. Her argument/logic was that I had to be "better" than everyone else in
church because I had the "best parents" in church. I grew up feeling such guilt and shame like I was the worst kid in the world.. and honestly this
contributed to my acting out even more.. I never got involved in anything like sex or drugs but I remember when I was 16 I would just go to the back of church
to the nursery and go to sleep while the service was going on.. and everyone knew I was in there.
My father would pull out the bible when I was a little girl and quote that verse in I think timothy about the qualifications for ministry, and tell me that one of them was to have a 'good' family, then he would tell me that I was preventing him from doing his job and I was going to make him lose his job. This is what I went through as a preacher's kid. I still struggle a lot with feeling bad about myself and self hate because of the disapproval that was directed at me as a child. I have watched other preachers kids and I know it was not easy for them either, to me it's like a crazy fine line you have to walk as a pk..... the expectation of people in the church is that they want you to sing in church/be youth group leader or whatever and basically do the "good preacher's kid" act, and "be" better than everyone else, they want you to sort of assume the title of "first kid" and play the role.. at the same time you have this constant sense that people just waiting to accuse you of being "stuck up", so you've got to "be" better than everyone else.. and you've got to "be different" than everyone else but oh my God forbid you believe that you're better than everyone else. This is just my experience.. |

Wow... the "best parents," huh? Humility: one of their many many many fine qualities! LOL.
What a nightmare that must have been!!! Ugh.

She wanted to get raped so it would be against her will? Bless her heart that is awful being raped is horrible I know several women who have been and it is so
horrible. However that tells alot about her mindset she feared so much about going to hell that she would rather be raped then have to repent because maybe in
her heart she couldn't be forgiven. That is so messed up. Where is the girl now do you know?

The pks at my parents' church were actually very normal, but the evangelists' kids and other pks I knew were generally terrors. Not in the
drugs/drinking/etc behaviour, most of them were just very proficient in the pente way of backbiting and putting others down for their own benefit.

I live about an hour from the AG headquarters in my home state. Naturally, we were exposed to the children of the state denominational leaders. While I knew of
several rather rotten PK's, the children of the denominational leaders were the worst. I never met a more arrogant, self-serving, know-it-all bunch of
people. Even now twenty years removed from my teens I still remember some of them from summer camps.

I was the grandchild of a preacher which means my mother was a PK and I have seen some stuff first hand of what PK's are some of them are just little
monsters. It was another PK that got my uncle hooked on pot and other stuff. I guess they do it because they can. I mean my papa was extremely abusive to his
kids never me he never did a thing to me he spoiled me rotten but to his own kids he was a mean man. So my mother told me that in their eyes might as well do
what you want because your gonna get beat anyway. My papa was the type that if someone from the church told on his kids he would beat his kids and I don't
mean spank I mean beat even if they didn't do it. Truthfully if they had the same laws when my aunts and uncles and mom were kids that they do now my papa
would have been in prison he is dead now. However like I said he never did anything to me he spoiled me rotten. Why I don't know.

Everytime we have a thread like this I have to say the same thing, but it bothers me if I keep quiet. It amazes me to hear all about these "horrible"
pk's. I was a pk my whole life and (and still am) we were certainly not the worst kids because we were not allowed to do the things the other kids were
allowed to do in the church. No extra curricular activities hardly ever outside of church, no movies, tv, dances, listening to the radio, parties, ect.
Don't get me wrong, i tried to be the worst, but those chains were just too +*+$ tight! I always got caught in high school trying to sneak to a party or
something, and one of my parents would find me & come pick me up! How embarrassing! My father would say that God told them where I was. Actually I think it
was more likely that one of my siblings ratted me out! haha...I tried to runaway alot to friends houses and my parents would come get me and say if i
didn't come back with them I would get taken to the juvy! As far as church services we always had to sit in the first pews with our family. never could
bring things to play with during the service like the other kids. We always had to wear dresses when the other girls didn't. I remember being taken to the
bathroom and given a spanking when i was 3 because i was not sitting still enough through this service. I can actually remember it, it was a long +*+$ service
and i remember trying to sit as still as i could..ahh, memories lol...I do have to admit that after pk's leave home and are 18+ that they probably get in
more trouble than other teens. That's because they are going crazy doing everything they were never allowed to do!! I remember my goal was to do EVERYTHING
they ever told me I couldn't do!
No one knows the way I feel, a part of me I have to fight
Buried somewhere deep beneath my skin The emptiness in me is faded And I can see my life is waiting Now I know I'm living for who I am-Smile Empty Soul |

OMG asking her own brother if he had seen her in a porno! This world is a crazy place anyway but then you add in all the extra and I am surprised we don't
have more people shooting people from towers or going postal at work.

My parents were ALWAYS angry at me after church because I didn't sit still enough. I don't know how hyper I was but I always thought that it was just because I didn't try hard enough to be still.. A few years ago I remember someone telling me "it wasn't your fault you were a child and you couldn't be as still as they wanted" but I thought "no I could have.. I was just a bad kid".. I appreciated hearing that someone else has been through the same because the thing is when you're little and your parents tell you you have to sit still through the whole service, lift up your hands sing, close your eyes and pretend to pray and you get blamed and told you behaved badly when you couldn't, you blame yourself. You just believe what your parents tell you, even if they put a mountain in front of you and tell you you can climb it and get angry and hit you when you can't... you think you could have climbed the mountain. I dunno it just helps to hear from someone who felt the same. It makes me feel a little bit less alone and it helps take apart the power of their words. |

I knew that if I had acted up and they saw me, I could go to the altar and pretend to pray; then I may not get a beating.
But I learned to occupy myself with counting ceiling tiles, counting people, counting theater-seats plus orchestra chairs plus the ministers' chairs, and I learned to do multiplication and long division in my head at a very young age. I also liked to use that time to mix up titles from the hymns and make funny and/or obnoxious statements. And going to sleep was very useful -- something they never reprimanded me for, because at least I wasn't being "bad." I also learned to make all kinds of things using handkerchiefs, the lease successful of which was a parachute (by tying knots in each corner), because I threw it up too high. It did, however, float down pretty nicely! Hey! Church was a great imagination-builder for children who didn't want to listen or participate! |

When I was a child, I only would get in trouble for stuff I did in church. The sermons were long and boring as hell. I was a hyperactive child with a short attention span. No parent would ever consider taking a child to some boring 3 hour lecture, so why make a child sit through some sermon? I began hating church at an early age. . As I got older my imagination began to run wild at church, just to keep me still. I kept statistics about how long the songs were, how many laps that certain people ran around the building. I also took odds on who would make a scene by being in the spirit first. If only pentes gambled.... I also kept stats on who would get the awards for the longest testimony, who said amen the most, ect..... But I found ways to keep myself out of trouble. How I survived those years I have no clue.
