THE SAFE WAYS TO ESCAPE A CULT

PLAN YOUR ESCAPE CAREFULLY

Escaping a cult can be a challenging and dangerous process, but it is possible with careful planning and support. Here are some safe ways to leave a cult:

1. Educate Yourself

  • Research: Learn about the psychological techniques used by cults and understand the dynamics of cult control. This can help you recognize manipulation and reinforce your decision to leave.
  • Outside Information: Gradually expose yourself to outside information, including books, articles, and documentaries about cults and their tactics.

2. Build a Support Network

  • Reconnecting with Family and Friends: Re-establish contact with trusted family members and friends who are outside the cult. They can provide emotional and practical support.
  • Support Groups: Seek out support groups for former cult members. These groups can offer understanding, advice, and a sense of community.

3. Develop an Exit Plan

  • Financial Preparation: Save money discreetly if you can. Financial independence is crucial for a successful escape.
  • Safe Place: Identify a safe place to go once you leave. This could be the home of a trusted friend or family member, a shelter, or a support organization.
  • Legal Documents: Ensure you have access to your identification and important documents.

4. Seek Professional Help

  • Therapists and Counselors: Find a therapist or counselor experienced in dealing with cult-related trauma. Professional guidance can help you process your experiences and rebuild your life.
  • Legal Advice: In some cases, you might need legal advice, especially if the cult has control over your finances, property, or personal rights.

5. Plan Your Departure

  • Timing: Choose a time to leave when you are least likely to be noticed or intercepted. This might mean leaving when others are asleep or occupied.
  • Communication: Inform your support network of your plan so they can be prepared to assist you immediately after you leave.
  • Distraction: Create a distraction or plausible reason for your absence to delay the cult’s realization of your departure.

6. Stay Safe After Leaving

  • Change Contact Information: Change your phone number, email, and social media accounts to prevent the cult from reaching you.
  • Security Measures: Be cautious about your whereabouts and whom you share your location with. Consider changing your routine to avoid being found.
  • Restraining Orders: If necessary, seek legal protection such as a restraining order against cult members who may try to harass or intimidate you.

7. Rebuilding Your Life

  • New Community: Integrate into a new community where you can form healthy relationships and rebuild your social network.
  • Education and Employment: Focus on gaining education and employment to establish financial independence and a sense of purpose.
  • Self-Care: Prioritize your mental and physical health through therapy, exercise, and hobbies.

Conclusion

Leaving a cult is a courageous and difficult decision. It requires careful planning, a strong support network, and professional help. Remember, it’s essential to prioritize your safety and well-being throughout the process. With determination and the right resources, you can successfully escape and start a new chapter in your life.

If you or someone you know is planning to leave a cult, consider reaching out to organizations that specialize in helping individuals escape and recover from cults for additional support and guidance.4o

THE STORY OF MANMA, THE CHILD PROVIDER

  Manma was just eight years old when she realized that she was born differently. She was born into a struggling family. She was the oldest of five siblings. Her father was always high and her mother was always looking for food and she had to stay home to take care of her hungry siblings. This morning she was seated outside in the cold looking down the earth. She sat propping up her knees and resting her chin on her shaking knees. She was sobbing with a stick on her hand and she wrote something on the sand. "Who am I?". Yes who is she? But, I see her in every street of Abak.

THE MASKING CULTURE AND IMPEDING MINDS

They say it will save our lives, but it is indirectly killing our brain and creating spiritual separation. In a situation where you are in one room with someone you may not know very well and will not be able to recognize outside the workplace, then something is wrong. We should be scared! It is trending, but who knows where it would lead us. I have kept quiet about it while observing what is going on. “This mask thing is something else.” a friend said to me. Yes, there is something about it that needs to be said not that there is anything to be done about it. Because from the look of things there is nothing to do about it unless by faith people choose to do away with it. But people of faith are in a real war with the health industry, politicians, and the world at large. Since I do not want to go into politics because I am not one and I do not understand it, I will desist from addressing this matter politically. I am not in the health industry, and I cannot address any health issues si

 The beauty of a tree is ever visible in the compound of a conscientious rich person. Although not all rich persons value the life of a tree because some would uproot the tree in quest for power expansion However, a wise and a caring rich person would give space for beauty hence he employs the crafting hands of the landscaper, the florist and the flower tender to beautify his compound that enshrines his palace within the trees thereby respecting, giving life and bringing out the beauty of it. The shrub on its own is a hell of nuisance, growing and spreading branches everywhere even blocking the palace from view and making passage uncomfortable for the king and his entourage. Nevertheless the king loves the shrub as added beauty, that is why he spares a little, for the shrub best by getting a flower tender. The tender with his pruning share, cuts of wild spreading branches, and shapes the shrub how he would for beauty. He sits back to observe it and once he is satisfied with his wor
