6 steps children can take to escape their religious household

Table of Contents

 

Are you being raised in an abusive religious household?  Here are some suggestions I wish had been made to me:


1. Stop loving your parents.  Your parents are abusive evil people who are bigots and hypocrites and anti-science and have no good intentions for the world or you, they want everything to be cruel and abusive like they are, and they want to destroy you for not being like them.  Parents expect love no matter what but they almost never love their children for who they are, if you don't come out the way they want you to come out, they will abandon you as an adult. 

2. Prepare to come out.  Eventually, if you want freedom, you will have to cause disturbances in your home by stating your opinions. However, you should first go to school officials and tell them you will be experiencing abuse at the hands of your parents for your convictions. You need to find adults who understand and side with you, you need people outside of your home routing for you.  When you finally tell your family what you think, they will attack and isolate you, you need to feel as though you are going into this with people already supporting you. When you leave home to go to school, adults need to know what you are going through and you can get school counseling. Get outside adult and even child support.

3. Stand firm.  Once you tell your parents what you believe and they start attacking you, stand firm.  Your parents may hit you, shout at you, ground you, take away your possessions, refuse to let you out, spiritually threaten you, rape you, turn relatives and friends against you, and much worse.  You must not back down when this happens and for a period of time you may have to experience some abuse, but this abuse will convince you your parents are evil and that you need to get out. 

4. Plan your escape.  Once the persecution starts, you need to plan your escape.  Your parents will likely harm you mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and physically to the point that you feel you cannot go on anymore and become suicidal.  If you are suicidal you need to get out of your house.  You must tell school officials or police that if you are sent home you will harm yourself.  You must REFUSE to return to your house.  Teachers and police are trained to return you to your parents so you must be adamant that your life is at stake and you can't handle it anymore. If they do not listen then simply refuse to go home on the bus or on your own and sit on the floor and don't move until they try to force you home.  If they try to force you start screaming and fighting until they must detain you.  If they do get you back to your house run away and go to the police station and hold on to things until they get the message you are not going home. If they don't listen then openly threaten to kill yourself so they are forced to take you to a hospital where you can speak with them to arrange never going home. Refuse to go home! If you must threaten suicide!

5. Prepare for a better life that is still difficult.  If you leave your parents, you are going to end up in state or foster care.  State and foster care is not perfect, many children don't like it, but it is much better than being raised in a religious household and if you are abused then you can be moved to another facility or home.  You may feel as though you are in a hard place until you grow up and get out on your own, but at least you escaped one kind of abuse and got into an environment where at least you have a chance. 

6. Tell your story.  Once you are out of your house make sure people know of your story and what you went through, make sure your parents are publicly named and shamed so that other parents fear doing the same thing. Encourage other children to escape their homes as well.  

If you are being religiously abused you need to escape.  Religious people will tell you it is better to endure the abuse of your parents than live in a state home, but that is not true. To be honest, I would have preferred to be assaulted once by a state care worker who is then fired then have to deal with constant assault all day from my parents and I can never escape and they are never punished for it.  You need to protect yourself and destroy your parents, follow these steps and it should help.

Why did I start "The Child Cult"? - a way for atheist, pagan, and LGBTQ kids and teens to escape religious households

Table of Contents   My name is Vincent Bruno and this is my blog "The Child Cult".  This is a project to help atheist, pagan, and LGBTQ kids and teens to escape their abusive religious households.  I am very angry that I had to be raised in the religious manner I was raised as it was highly abusive.  At the time of my abuse, it would not have been considered normal to take a child out of a household where the abuse was religious, spiritual, or ideological... the idea that the child had any say in how they were being indoctrinated was not commonly held.  This is now changing but we must swiftly accelerate it.  Here is a brief of my story.  I was raised a Jehovah's Witness.  As a child, I wanted to be a scientist, a profession not considered wholesome for a Jehovah's Witness who should not be spending their time on intense secular and material pursuits but instead should be focusing on converting other people into Jehovah's organization. Plus, science was not fully

Are your religious parents withholding medication from you? You're being abused and it needs to stop!

  Table of Contents   Are you being raised in an anti-medical cult?  Are you an Eddy's Christian Scientist? Involved in a Carol Balizet Cult? Inside a derivative of Herbert Armstrong's Worldwide Church of God?  Do your parents refuse to give you antibiotics when you are deliriously ill and refuse to ever take you to the doctor, no matter how infected you are? Do you have permanent damage from lack of medical care? And even if you are not, you should still care and be supportive of these children.   This project is for all children suffering from religious abuse at home, but starting out on the most extreme cases can help you gain conviction that parents don't have freedom of religion over their children, and when they do, it can even be deadly.  Thousands of children have died in anti-medical cults where children were left to die excruciating deaths from preventable diseases and even things as simple as broken bones.  Did you know that today in the United States, if you are
