Was the Dominee's house always the Dominee's house.... there over on 4th Ave? Who lived there before, how many other church's have CDM house's?
idontknow
All I remember was the story of Mrs Whatley .. a new dominee had arrived in town .. the Whatleys were one of those english/ afrikaans families both languages being spoken fluently in the home .. One of the aunties from the church was going from door to door making collection to fill the new dominees pantry etc etc .. upon knocking at the Whatleys door she got short shrift form Mrs Whatley who sent her on her way with the comment "Hy is 'n gewone mens net soos ons , en ons moes ons eie spens volmaak toe ons hier gekom het , hy kan maar die seflde doen" I recall a revernd Mc Crystal ( under correction here on name and think he was methodist ) he stayed in 3rd avenue .. used to hold these slide shows at his home to discourage drug use among the teens ... the one song played to images of goulish looking drug raddled creatures was ' puff the magic dragon ' not that we took too much notice ...
I loved that song as a child.
Back in the late 60's the Dominee lived at E1/11. We were at E5/11 then.
idontknow where the dominee lived. I was a good girl :ciupa1: - so I did'nt need to go to his house for a repremanding about my sins. shooter
:emot19_2: Some or other joker called the police chaplan in Keetmanshoop when I was stationed there - told him to speak to me about my drinking habbits (apparently I had finished a bottle of red wine all by myself, that I bribed off the diaken bloke who came to collect money for the church, and I never offered a sip to anyone else). Told the dominee he could come see me at my house, but he must remember to bring a bottle of wine with, so we can discuss the problem. Still waiting for him to show.
Yes Sandy I remember that methodist minister and "Puff the Magic Dragon", he had a show at the Watson's house (Peter, Bernadene and Shirley Watson) in the 70s.
"Puff the Magic Gragon" in those days was a childs song, a name for a gun ship that the yanks used in th Vietnam war to rain hell fire down on the vietcong and a heroin pipe used by the yank soldiers to get out of the bad reality of the vietnam war. Therefore "Puff the Magic Dragon" was seen as drug related in the 70s.
Yes Diana the dominees in the 70s stayed in 11th - was there not a case of a dominee being transfered because of a ladies department incident?
Ladies Dept Incident, Suddenly I awake from my slumper.... eager to hear more.....
idontknow
According to Richard the dominee in question liked womens underwear in a peculiar kind of way. yougogirl
- Suddenly I am very intigued........Is there anybody out there who knows more?
Yes! Yes! GO ON Go On..... :ciupa1:
Surely one of our many 'guests' reading this knows the story - please don't be shy; We'll crack open a couple of beers and ............go on, tell us!!! giverose
It sounds like an episode from Father Ted..... if only we knew more.....
pls
I don't know about this underwear incident, but I do know that the domoni lived next door to us in 4th avenue
he had some parties/braai's were the squeezebox and loud afrikaans songs not church hymns were played late into the night.
His wife would allows send a plate of warm delicious koeksisters to our house when she was cooking them.
My father was a self confessed atheist so they never spoke to one another, but I liked the koeksisters and would be gracious to the whole family at all times.
idontknow If anybody new you would Richard,come now you slipping. I'll check with Aunty Elsie maybe she knows something. Note to myself ..........First thing to-morrow visit mom.

furthrt up Michael was asking about putting on wheight. ...
ja ... ja ... ja ... blame it on Michael ...
Come on Diana - I know you had a stressfull night on 'Bot attack' duty but have you spoken to your mom yet - the suspense is unbelievable, the popcorn is getting cold and the beer is getting hot.........
Ssssh! Not too loud, the bots might phone the Dominee.....
I don't know about the ladies department story, but I do know that one of the dominees - who also was a police reserve at that time - had and affair on with one the 'ouderling's' wife. They got caught out (apparently at the log cabin). He got transferred and his wife also divorced him. Don't know if the ouderling and his wife stayed together after that.
(I am not going to mention names here - sorry!)

Geee, Patricia! You're making me blush.
Ooooh and the plot thickens - I wonder was this affair going on while he was messing about in womens undies...........
@ Dalene, your story rings a bell.... DOn't remember anything, but it rings a bell....
with all these bells ringing you would think this is a wedding!!! :emot77:
So come on. FACTS!!
....er! Uhm...... was there a goat in this story?
In womens underwear???
Eating Popcorn....?
Bells yes........the belltower it happened in the belltower.
Mother Elsie knows something but she's not telling just smiled and said "I have no idea what you talking about my girl".
So we'll just have to start a rumour and make up our own gossip.
Crack open the cans and soon the story will be spilled.............Tell Mother Elsie we are all uhm, concerned, yes that's it - we are not interested in gossip; we are just concerned
History repeats .. people like auntie Elsie , if we needed to know something we just ask them .. i remember so many times trying to recall a story ,, just get on the phone to Mom and get the gen . one night I phoned her to ask what a ginger square was ( there was a bit of a debate ) .. answer got .. sadly we lose the older generation , parents aunts uncles as the years wear on , but then strangely we find ourselves in the same role , giving answers and information , telling stories to the next generation .. good thing about this site is that if everyone registered could do a bit of recall and a few pictures we would ahve a real bit of history that would not disapear as lives come to their end , all preserved in cyberspace and hopefully hardcopied somewhere ......
So what is a ginger square; or would that be deviating from the undies story!!!
Ginger Ale with a tot ( or two ) of ginger liqeur .. ginger 2 ladies would sip on it in katies thinking they were ever so posh in the early days ...
Aaah......thanks Sandy
Now this could become a very interesting story:
" ... the dominee heard bells ringing away from the tower, whilst engaged in the act of commiting the ultimate sin of adultry, but he paid no attention and continued. When thirst overcame him, he sipped slowly from his glass, filled with a ginger square, for he was a man of the church and was not allowed to consume beverages that could cause him to become intoxicated. His fettish for ladies underwear was..."
: a story indeed my friends.
Now you're getting me blushed too.
@Dalene, you forgot the goat.....
The casachstan goat??
as a child i would often pour the after dinner ginger square drinks for my folks, i was required to pour brandy into the glass to the level of the first leaves on the cut crystal and top it up with ginger ale.
i was not partial to the taste of ginger ale and discovered that when mixed with the brandy it tasted better, so would slurp up a portion of the drink to enable me to empty the ginger ale into the glass.
my folks always believed i drank the remaining plain ginger ale from the bottle.
haha, have never ordered one for myself, as an adult preferring to keep the taste in my childhood.
I did reveal the truth to my mother some years ago she was very amused but surprised.
Hey, I'm not a perv novelist! I was trying to keep a good, clean storyline here. :emot77:
The "animal farm" is a story on it's own - wether it be Afghanistan, Casachstan, or the goats of Moerlandspan - no, that's a factual publicity thing, and I ain't doing research. (He he he)
I don't know if it's the same dominee with the underwear fetish, but I recall there was this dominee who was kicked out of OM for being too affectionate towards the kids in his "gemeente". I think he lived somewhere in E7th avenue.
I'm sure he did all in the name of god. Sick bast***s!
Whoa........these Dominees seem to be in a world all of their own -we still haven't come to the end of the undies story and already there are two other stories creeping in.........the 'undies' had us sitting up taking notice; the 'affair' had us giggling behind our hands, with both of these we want the details - but the children, now our backs are up - STAY AWAY FROM CHILDREN!!!
re dominee's house. at first the dominee's stayed somewhere around 7 th ave. The town was still a closed area at the time . They drove around in a car owened by the church [a biscuit coulored Peogot car ] . around 1979 the pastorate was relocated to 4th ave .
I have already posted this,but the first Dominee lived at E1/11th. this was during the 60's.
re the affection toward youngsters by the reverant . maybe the following incedent lead to the assumption that there was more to their motives than just a training session .
The Priest , or it could be the Reverant , together with the Sjeff gave swimming lessons at the pool , but very soon the mothers expressed concern about the methods by the instructor , the "show how to " , the holding and touching of the yougsters was inappropriate according to the mothers .the lessons stopped soon afterwards
Seems like this affection for youngsters pops up every where. In the past 3 years 2 dominees have been transferred from Kathu due to stuff like that.
I don't know what's happening to the church and it's rules, but stuff like this make me believe that the main puppets in the organization turn a blind eye to these issues and try to hide it by making sorry excuses for stuff done wrong in the past. My question : is it acceptable then to have a dominee who does things like these? NO - but when someone wants to bring it into the open, it is always covered up by the other dominees with lots of excuses.
I think they've had this amount of black sheep always. I think people are just daring not to accept these things.
re underware fetish
I once asked a person why he wears ladies undies, I was quite surprised by his logical answer.
according to him ..mens undies comes in white and the colours of the rainbow . but he prefered flesh coloured undies, and therefore hy buys ladies undies .
Hu ???
No names mentioned.
Michael?
Sorry! You said no names... :emot19:
Leave the men in Black outta this.....
Okay, so some people have made an art of telling a lie very convincingly.........
Hennie, for sure this bloke is one of them!
Hu-uh?!
I think a lot of men became priests because they couldn't form proper relationships but then the urge just got too much and they couldn't control themselves and being in the trusted position they were, found it easy to hide their quirks.
It was quite a common thing in the army to wear pantyhose on those long winter evening patrols. Everybody did it, but would never own up when asked. They were great for shining boots as well!
Where did you keep your gun? :emot19:
Gun ?? .. In the army those sadistic instructors would make us if we accidentally called our rifle a gun stand in front of the squad .. we had to recite and do these actions .. hold rifle up and say " this is my rifle " and then grab your crotch and say " and this is my gun " hold rifle up again and say " this is for shooting " back to the crotch clutch and say " and this is for fun "... some guys just kept on doing the same mistake .. maybe they ahd a thing for crotch exhibitionism ??
