Do's and dont's with an aid applicant

Version October 2025 Sometimes we get the question during an information evening or a mini-course or during other conversations ‘what should we definitely not do when we meet a person seeking help and what should we do’. This is not something that can be answered simply, but below a loyal volunteer has tried to give some tips [...].

On participation in activities of other organisations

Friends of Esthers is committed, among other things, to helping a number of survivors get out of cult and stay out of cult. All other activities we develop or attend, we try to test whether it is in the interest of these survivors or potentially harms their interests. In this, pros [...]

Two cultures

by: Werner Since I have been involved in helping, assisting and especially loving survivors, a world has opened up for me. At least, somewhat 'opened' because it is a world for me still full of mysteries and things I don't understand. Survivors we help still have plenty of [...]

Esther I don't want!

At the invitation of friends, my wife and I went along to an introductory evening around what has been neatly named Sadistic Organised Abuse* in the House of Representatives. The abbreviation is SRM. We were there because there is a group of people who want to provide a safe haven for victims of SRM. In a nearly one-and-a-half-hour [...]

Colliding worlds - survivor and networker

I have now spent years walking intensively with survivors of srm and it is harrowing to realise more and more what an incredibly complex world they live in. They have to function in two completely different worlds. One world of absolute hierarchy and obedience, where every 'mistake' is ruthlessly punished; a world that constantly sends the message [...]

Blog by Myrjam

For several months now, I have been involved in Friends of Esthers. In this, I have direct and indirect contact with survivors of satanic ritual abuse. To outline a brief profile: survivors have been able to build (almost) no relationships of trust throughout their lives, even with close family members. Often their trust in counselling agencies and [...]

Story of a practitioner

Walking in the park, I responded to a question I was asked, "Are you willing to help someone, who is stuck in a network of mistreatment and abuse". I realised that it will cost me something, but if I don't do it...who will. I said yes. This is how I came into contact with people trapped. Tortured, taken, exploited and discarded. Left alone with nightmares, intense re-experiences and enormous guilt

Disarming

It is written of Jesus (Col. 2:15) that He disarmed and openly displayed the governments and powers and triumphed over them.

This is about the spiritual authorities/powers, about the adversary of God, of grace, of good.

Truth in the hidden

Over a year ago now, my husband and I met an old acquaintance by 'chance' and
we got into a conversation about SRM. I already knew of its existence but actually it was something far
away from me because it is not easily talked about.

The world of survivors was totally unknown to me. I have great respect for their courage and perseverance when I hear about their bizarre experiences. How vulnerable and special that they want to share this with me personally! I really appreciate that we can open our home for encounters.

Being there unconditionally is the key

I have been touched in my heart by the injustice done to so many; I want to stand for the truth and for God's justice to prevail.

Survivors of SRM need what every human being needs: sincere love, a heart that listens without judgement and lasting connection. Even the deepest parts, those who had to murder and rape, then dare to speak. How many victims will break free from their lifelong slavery if they receive 10 such friends?

It is a privilege to pray for survivors, regularly and at key moments. And also for their families, if they are still in the cult. That is my contribution to their liberation and I experience that in this way I can help God's light to shine on their lives. As a Christian, I thus take my place in God's Kingdom and in the heavenly realms.

What a new, dark world opened up for me in 2020. Too bizarre to be true, until I started to listen and read critically and openly. I now find it a privilege to support therapists and survivors, so that the Light of Jesus overcomes the deep darkness.

I give my hands to help and my heart to love.

It is a privilege to experience a survivor. But it is an even greater privilege to be able to do your modest part to support the survivor to really live.

No one can do it all alone.... That is why I want to mean something for others. My name Tikva means HOPE ... and there is hope for everyone!
