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.
Getting out of the cult
Exit process during cult days
Before I went to therapy, I just went to cult meetings. I led a double life, being a hardworking woman by day who just went to work, raised children, cleaned the house, had friendships and also attended Bible studies and went to church.
Prayer
By a Faithful Prayer I don't remember when and how I first heard of satanic ritual abuse, at least it was years ago. Later when I was studying psychology, I heard about these horrific things again from my internship supervisor, she told me that it doesn't only happen far away, but precisely [...]
Constantly in danger
People who are in the cult and trying to get out are in constant danger, because if they don't respond to emails, signals or invitations to come, they are thwarted in all sorts of ways; the cult has its "males" for that.This even goes so far, that survivors are visited at work and if that doesn't [...]
A tale of hope
As a child, I was always on my guard. I trusted no one and danger could come from any corner. At home it was unsafe. Men regularly came to rape me in my small bedroom, but above all, my grandfather or uncle often came to pick me up to take me to cult meetings and sex parties.
I learned to sacrifice animals and people, I learned to worship Satan and I learned to survive in almost every aspect of my life. I split and gained dozens of personality parts. Parts that were deeply hidden inside and held memories and parts that learned to bear daily life no matter what.

The Prince of Peace and his opponent
If anyone knows anything about Satan and his kingdom, it is Jesus Christ. He dealt with him during His time on earth, directly and through people. A brief impression. Jesus' incarnation is immediately under pressure. Evil springs into action: in an attempt to bring Him into [...] after His birth.
Poppy
The poppy appears a lot on this website; as a kind of image bearer, because some of the characteristics of the poppy, we see in victims/ survivors of SRM: The poppy needs light (from God) and warmth (from people) to come alive after the cold period of winter (life in the cult). Poppies go [...]
The Network
I like to get moving on issues that matter. For instance, I helped establish Stichting Present Almere and served on the board of Compassion Netherlands. When I was asked to help Aline Terpstra find a support network for a survivor of SRM, I made another such move. [...]
Homestay survivor
For some time now, we have been hosting a survivor in our home. The first really big step towards true freedom this person has made is a fact and we get to be a part of it. How special that is! The first few days the transition was very big for this person, but soon we see [...]
