  • My condolences. It’s such a stupid, dangerous, and exploitative practice.

    In my former religion, it was 2 years in a foreign country. I’m lucky many of my family members came back alive, given the places they were sent. They “laugh” about stories of being assaulted, robbed, houses broken into, extorted and threatened, but it’s a joke now because it’s all part of “gods plan”

    So disgusting.

    (Edit: It’s also a way to make sure that they face stress and doubt away from any resources that might help them out of the abuse. Instead they’re at all times with another cult member tasked with keeping them on the straight and narrow. It’s more a 2 year indoctrination session where the member gets exposed to anti-religious views through aggressive proselytizing, but then is forced to work through that alternate view in a directed and monitored way so that they reach the “right” conclusion. When they get back, they’re so much more incredibly difficult to have a conversation with, because they’ve entrenched all the bullshit)
