In the November 21 issue of Respekt (Czech Republic), the woman who was interviewed has actually used her full name, although we used only the initials "E.V." in our translation. In order to fully appreciate her courage, and just how truly unbelievably hard this must have been, let us republish one of the most eloquent posts from the old forum on why the women took so long to come out. The original article in context is here.
It must be-perhaps-different environment, different culture and different life situation of yours that you cannot understand the women that dont want to make themselves public. You maybe dont have parents, grandparents, uncles, sisters and brothers, friends, job, social and job environment, puberty children, neighbours, political or any social activities that are not connected with your past life etc, where comming out public for the sake of the truth that is - being part of the cult and even being sexually abused by some orange fat guru - would mean DEVASTATION of your present life, even THE END OF YOUR POSITIONS in your present social environment, big shock or maybe break at your marriage and DISTURBED RELATIONSHIPS with relatives, puberty children, grandchildren, grandparents, parents, neighbours, at job and social positions.
YIDL and other cults have prooven being extremely cruel against their heretiscs - already not listening, ignoring, not taking them seriously and announcinge them nuts and shyzo is difficult enough. Already here in the forum and with experiences of these 7 we have got enough information how the system works.
Everyone with job, family and social environment has a lot to loose. Why to risk all this? To make others believe? It is your problem if you do not believe enough or not at all. Organisations that help the victims, journalists and others they have a duty to keep the women anonymouse if they want so. So please, 7 or 20 or 500 or 1000 will not make any difference.
