How can I help someomne escape a cult....?

Question

I am reposting this question because people were more interested in question the truthfulness of this story than they are helping

My friend was kidnapped as baby she is now 25. Her name has been changed to an islamic one, she has no ID because her father will not tell her her real name, where she is born, her birthday or her mothers real name. She is scared to go to the authorities because she fears retalion. Does anybody know any organization I can contact to help her or have any idea of somethign she can do?

Heres some addional info...
The Cult is located on a compound with atleast one armed guard, protecting all entraces and exits,so she can not just leave

I've contacted HLS and the police about this cult, they know about it and have done nothing.... If think im making this up, than google "Shaqq Jilani" or "Fuqua" cult....

Thanx for your help, and sorry if I sound bitter I had some real jerks answer my last question.....

You people are seriously something else... but since everybody wants to try and throw this flag and didnt search on google beyond the first page results... i'll point you here... happy....

Answer 1

If she gets "out" to talk to you I would say that she should runaway, and find a good place to hide.
I don't know of an organization for you to try as most are underground.
I mostly just want you to know that you are being taken seriously and there are people that care.
Best of luck to you,
smile much and love more :)

Answer 2

Probably the reason that many people doubted your sincerity is because alot of cults don't allow their members much contact with the outside world. The fact that she was kidnapped as child must mean that the cult wishes to keep her from her real family, and in essence, the outside world. I'm in no position to call you a liar, because I don't know what situation you are in, but it doesn't make alot of sense for a cult leader to kidnap a child but then allow her to make friends in the outside world that could convince her to leave the compound. Then again, cult leaders aren't known to make alot of sense.

If she was kidnapped as a child, but she knows and trusts you enough to tell you what's going on, then obviously there are times when she can leave the compound. If this is the case, she should just go. Leave all of her personal belongings there and leave. Work something out for her in the meantime. Rent her an apartment in another city or across the state line. Then she can start searching into her background and find out who she really is. If she feels that she's in danger after leaving, then she can contact the authorities. Until then, there's really nothing that you can do.

Until a cult is viewed by authorities as being dangerous to society or to its members, they can't really do anything about it. Everyone does have the right to religious freedom. Look at Heaven's Gate -- they existed for almost 30 years and were very peaceful and optimistic. No one ever assumed that their leader would convince them to eat poisioned applesauce. By the time it happened, it was too late.

You could contact the Cult Hotline and Clinic.
email: [e-mail]
web site: http://www.cultclinic.org/
location: 120 West 57th St., New York, NY 10019
telephone: [phone]

If your friend is in danger, then I wish you and her both luck!

Edit: I also Googled this cult and couldn't find any information. This doesn't mean you're not being truthful, but there are alot of unanswered questions. Considering that this cult doesn't have a website for itself or no one has posted anything about it at all, you'll definitely need to have alot of information if you contact anyone. For example, you need to know where this compound is, how many members, etc.

Answer 3

Your friend is lucky to have you on her side!

Getting someone out of a cult is no easy feat. Especially if they have been in it for a long time.

I'm in no position to give professional advice however I had a very slightly similar experience. Growing up in an extremely high control religon and making my exit in my late 20s.

These things take time. There may even be regressions.

I really recommend you take a look at this site: http://www.culthelp.info/

These people KNOW what they are talking about.

Answer 4

Any person who doesn't take this question seriously IS a jerk! I know that there are websites you can go to that offer advice for escaping cults, and i am sure you can find a helpful one if you google it. If this is not a "destructive" cult, than the police cannot and will not do anything about it. I'm sorry that your friend is in peril, and i wish i could do more to help you!

But one last thing, I did google the name of this cult as well as the name of their leader, and nothing came up. I also am curious of how you went about meeting this friend. You should know, and i mean no offense by this, but if you are making this up, than you are a cruel person for making such a vile joke of a serious thing.

Answer 5

Neither Google, Yahoo or MSN have anything turning up for those Cults. However, if you need help getting someone out of a cult and dealing with the aftermath try the following link:

They will have people you can contact to assist.

Answer 6

Taser the guards, and chloroform the entire complex. Wear a gas mask when you enter the compound so as not to breathe the chloroform in. Rescue the person you want to, and take her out to a place where you KNOW she will be safe. She'll wake up in a couple of hours, as will everyone else at the complex. Normally, chloroform causes no harm except when exposed to it repeatedly...

Answer 7

Hello, Boss Hog

After 25 years of indoctrination, your friend is probably sympathetic. From what you describe it is Islamic, and to be feared for good reason.

To help you understand why Islam has been such a big problem for 1,400 years, read Online:

Answer 8

She has to be willing to take the step of talking to the authorities. They will get her help. Everything else is much more dangerous. Any group will say the same thing, but there will be plenty of help if this is true.

Answer 9

Sounds like a basic level three extraction. Don't expect the authorities to be of any help, you're going to have to go...underground to find someone to do that one.

Answer 10

i don`t believe it but i`m telling you that the only way to destroy a cult or organization is from the inside so join and then screw everybody up...
