Going to Church give me a real new perspective on the world.
I think I was about nearly 9 years old and my mother let an older girl who who's father was something in the church take me to Sunday School. My mother thought it was ok although she wasn't really religious and never went to church herself she had some ideas about morality in the teaching.
Complete bollocks of course but not her fault.
I didn't want to go. But I did want to be with this girl. It was a sort of juvenile crush. She was really lovely.
It was also a fulfilled crush as often, instead of or sometimes, after the lessons she would take me to the woods and play Mammies and Daddies.
I don't mean washing up and cleaning the house or even going to work and baking bread.
She did the full works. I was very happy with it.
I really looked forward to Sunday school !!
I remember once in 1953 when we got a TV and we were one of the first in the area (to see the Coronation) she said she would do anything to see it. And she did.
But then it all went quiet and rumours suggested all was not well. I later (much much later) learned her father (her mother was dead) had been sexually abusing her and he was imprisoned and she was put in care.
Now it all fits into place and explains a lot. Religion equals hypocricy.
