  Sexual Abuse and the Reduction in the Belief in God

  by Lady Lee in

  2. child-abuse

  in my last year of university i wrote a paper called traumatic child sexual abuse, psychological death and the reduction in the belief in the power of god.

  it was a term paper for a class on death and dying for a religion course i took.

  not exactly what the prof expected but he agreed it made some excellent points.

  Hi Lady Lee, I think you're paper is interesting, but I really don't think it should have been used by that woman in that way. I totally understand why the girls walked out. If I was a survivor of sexual abuse, the last thing I would want would be to attend a group where God is talked about. It's so offensive and patronising. How exactly does it help the girls heal? It seems like some religious person trying to shove thier ideas down other peoples' throats. The girls can come to their own conclusions about God, it's really no one elses business. I guess they attended the group to attempt to heal, not to be told how their experiences have effected their beliefs regarding God. Does anyone else think the conductor of the group really made a mistake here? I know if I was in that group I would have found it hard to control my anger.

  Where abouts did the abuse take place at the kingdom hall? If you suspected a child molester was present in your cong surely you wouldn't have let your 5 year old go to the men's bathroom alone?

  I'm sorry, I don't mean any offence, i'm just having trouble understanding this.

  My mum tried to convince me that when I finish year 10 and have my school certificate I should leave school and pioneer. I could work in a shop part time! Um, no mum.
