OK does anyone else wonder why so many of the fundie teachings and isolation practices are perfect for creating and repressing victims, and on top of that wonder why we see so much sexual abuse coming from these quarters? Is it possible this kind of mentality is attracting pedophiles as well as untreated molestation victims blaming themselves, and carrying the abuse forward? I'm really starting to think the two go together and I'm also thinking this stretches back for generations. It would be interesting to see a study on that.
It is the perfect dysfunctional environment to breed and harbor abuse.
There are all kind of dysfunctional families in society. We already know that the dysfunction in families can carry on for generations. We already know how families can become divided if someone speaks up to try and stop the cycle.
Those that follow these beliefs are part of a much larger society than a individual dysfunctional family. Everything is harbored in that society. Who do they turn to in this isolation? When they cry out for help, they are surrounded by not only family members but a entire cult that ensures they are kept quiet and repressed.
It has to be incredibly difficult to break away, because you know you are going to be shunned by all of the people that you love.
I'm sure so many feel trapped and hopeless. When you are brought up and surrounded by all of this, it is hard to imagine that there is help and support for victims. They are conditioned to believe that the rest of society is evil though. That is just one more tactic they use to maintain control and silence.
