Replies to '08/24 The Family Cult'

Wow, please take this the wrong way... What you wrote makes you sound like an idiot. Yes, I did do my research, but I didn't have to. My parents where a part of this cult, as well as my siblings and I. We had it bad, but whats so sad, is that other children in this cult had it so much worse.

There have been several cases where 'so-called' repressed memories are realized, and then and only then does the person feel as if they have been damaged or harmed in some way. This is an example of someone who was not harmed by the original event, but are now harmed by the false information of the person bringing positive memories to the surface in a negative light.

If someone has had an experience, and does not feel harmed, would it not make sense that the real danger is from the person that is causing harm by telling them they are being harmed?

This sickens me. My 'so-called' repressed memories do hurt when the come up. However, I deal with it, and then move one. Who the hell gives you the right to tell us thatthese memories that we have really don't cause us harm. If you would do some research, you would see many people telling you that they were all taught to suppress these feelings. Growing up, we were taught to not talk about what happened and to notthink about it. When you are a child, and you go through pain, you want to forget about it. But guess what 'DR.Bill' it doesn't mean that it doesn't hurt.

Let me try to explain, just one, and this is only one, of the kind of memories that I am talking about. How would you feel, if years after the abuse, you were trying to move on with your life. Trying to better yourself, because no body else would help you. You had started a family of your own and making it through because you knew you had to, and because you knew, you were strong. How would you feel, if one day out of nowhere, you had a memory of when you were five years old. You remember your mother giving you to an adult male, to 'have his way with you' because it was for 'Jesus'. When you stand there crying and your own mother is telling you not to think about it, that it will be over soon. How in the hell!!!!!!! can you tell me that the only reason why that hurts, is because some one told you it should.

This is only one of the many, many, many, F@*%$# up things that happened in this cult. Then you find out the reason that this memory may have come up, was because your own daughter was now the age that you were when this happened to you. As a mother that hurts more than anything you could ever imagine.

Please, before you start spouting off, absolute crap about things you know nothing about, talk to some of the children (who are now adults) that were able to get away for the 'Family'. Hear some of their stories, listen with an openear of what they went through and instead of, excuse my language, 'Bitching' about how, they weren't really hurt, help them do something about it. Help find a way to stop this damn Cult once and for all.
