Resources for Torture Survivors

Ritualistic & Cult Abuse
Survivors

 & Trauma Based Mind Control Survivors
Most people who fight human trafficking are doing an excellent job with prevention, rescue, and raising awareness. However, until recently, I found that very few people in the movement knew very much about the type of trafficking that involves wealthy families, organized crime, torture, ritualistic abuse, trauma based mind control, secret societies, religious cults, and government corruption.

"Although about one fourth of the other
survivors I have encountered lived
through this form of trafficking,
most organizations I have contacted
think it is a myth or doesn’t exist.
I want to help change that."

This is the reason why I have started a list of resources and information specifically for survivors of ritualistic abuse and mind control. While I do not agree with or endorse all the views of those on this list, I did find their information to be helpful. I hope this will be helpful to others also. If anyone knows about any more resources I can add to this list, please do not hesitate to contact me.

By wearing a paperclip you can show your support to survivors of torture, MK Ultra, Ritualistic Abuse, and Operation Paperclip.
Picture
Most Americans think that the Holocaust ended in 1945 when World War II ended. The truth is the horrors of the Holocaust were continued in America for years and years later by Nazis who were a part of Operation Paperclip. Operation Paperclip allowed Nazi scientist to legally experiment on, brainwash, torture, and sex traffic children in the United States as part of Project MK Ultra. Originally in World War II, the paperclip was worn by the Norwegians as a symbol of resistance to the Nazis. Years ago a group of eighth grade students began collecting paperclips from all over the world in memory of Holocaust victims. They now have enough paperclips to include the hidden Holocaust victims of Operation Paperclip and MK Ultra. You can help reclaim the paperclip back from the Nazi war criminals of Operation Paperclip. I will now wear one in honor of all the children who are still being tortured and trafficked to this day by men who call themselves Nazis. To them, the Holocaust isn’t over. I will continue to remember them and fight for them always. Read the rest of this post Trafficking & The Hidden Holocaust: Why I Wear A Paperclip>.

RA Info
Ritual Abuse FAQ

http://ra-info.org/faqs/
This website will inform you about the basic facts on Ritual Abuse. They describe Ritual Abuse as an extreme, sadistic form of abuse of children and non-consenting adults. It is methodical, systematic sexual, physical, emotional and spiritual abuse, which often includes mind control, torture, and highly illegal and immoral activities such as murder, child pornography, and prostitution. The abuse is justified by a religious or political ideology.

RA Info
Mind Control FAQ

http://ra-info.org/mind-control/
This website will help you learn the facts, and defines Mind Control as the following. Mind control, like ritual abuse, has both a broad and narrow definition. In a sense, all advertising is an attempt at mind control, an attempt to make people buy certain brands or objects. Propaganda (my country is right and good and the other country is wrong and bad) is also an example of attempted mind control in the broad sense of the term. In the survivor community, however, the definition is much narrower and more sinister. It means that part of a person’s mind has been programmed (that is, trained) to obey another person without question, while other parts of the mind are unaware of this situation.

Survivorship
FAQ Ritual Abuse, Multiplicity, Mind Control

https://survivorship.org/frequently-ask-questions/
The term ritual abuse is generally used to mean prolonged, extreme, sadistic abuse, especially of children, within a group setting. The group’s ideology is used to justify the abuse, and abuse is used to teach the group’s ideology. The activities are kept secret from society at large, as they violate norms and laws.

Resources for Spiritual Warfare
"Spiritual attacks can happen to anyone. It even happens to Christians. To any believer in the Bible, it shouldn't be surprising, that it is very common for survivors of satanic ritual abuse or (SRA) to experience spiritual warfare. I recommend these resources because I am a survivor, and for a long time, I struggled against the forces of darkness in intense spiritual warfare."

Youth With A Mission is a global movement of Christians from many cultures, age groups, and Christian traditions, dedicated to serving Jesus throughout the world. Also known as YWAM (pronounced “WHY-wham”), we unite in a common purpose to know God and to make Him known.
"At Youth With A Mission, I found a supportive group of knowledgeable Christian leaders who understand spiritual warfare and how to overcome it. A few years ago, I enrolled in a Discipleship Training School with YWAM. At the time when I was with them, I had to drop out of the program early, because I was struggling with major physical health issues, psychological attacks on the mind, constant fear, and nightmares. I ended up sharing even the ugly details of my life story with YWAM leaders, and they didn't judge me. Instead, they prayed for my healing. Through the power of intercessory prayer, my DTS teachers imparted to me knowledge about my life, that was prophetic, accurate in detail, and could have only come from the Holy Spirit. I was only able to stay in the program for two weeks, but the healing I experienced, the friendships I discovered, and the teachings I learned there, will stay with me forever."

This ministry is not a first grab tool but is a tool to use toward the end of the inner healing process. The Shabar ministry was launched in 2002 by developing a Shabar team to ministry to individuals requesting the ministry. Shabar is a Hebrew word meaning "broken-hearted" from Isaiah 61:1 and can also be translated "shattered". "The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me, because the Lord has anointed Me to preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent me to heal the "brokenhearted," to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound." Isaiah 61:1 (NKJ) The goal of Shabar ministry is to bring knowledge, hope, and wholeness to a "shattered" individual.

Spiritual Warfare for Every Christian: How to Live in Victory and Retake the Land-Book
by Dean Sherman

God has called Christians to overcome the world and drive back the forces of evil and darkness at work within it. Spiritual warfare isn't just casting out demons; it's Spirit-controlled thinking and attitudes. Dean delivers a no-nonsense, both-feet-planted-on-the-ground approach to the unseen world. Dean Sherman is Dean of the College of Christian Ministries at Youth With A Mission's University of the Nations. He is respected internationally as a Bible teacher, having taught on spiritual warfare and relationships since the 1970s in ministers' conferences, YWAM schools, and churches in 49 states and more than 40 countries.

"This book and the audio teachings on spiritual warfare by Dean Sherman changed my life more than any other book I have ever read, except for the Bible. Other than the Bible, this is the most powerful resource I have ever found for spiritual warfare. I now know that, because I have trusted in the work of Jesus on the cross, Satan has no authority in my life. Through Christ, believers have the power to stand against all forces of darkness. It was unreal to me how effective these teaching were when I applied them to my thinking and my life."

Reversing Hermon: Enoch, the Watchers, and the Forgotten Mission of Jesus Christ-Book
by Dr. Michael S. Heiser

How the writings of Peter and Paul allude to the sin of the Watchers and present Jesus as overturning the disastrous effects of their sins against humanity. How the descriptions of the antichrist, the end-times Day of the Lord, and the final judgment connect to Genesis 6 and the Nephilim. Though every topic addressed in Reversing Hermon can be found in scholarly academic literature, Reversing Hermon is the first book to gather this information and make it accessible to Bible students everywhere.

"This book helped me to understand the Hebrew culture and the true origin of the occult, satanic ritual abuse, and most of the evil, that exist in this world today. There are certain sins, and works of darkness that are so evil, it would have been almost impossible for a man to imagine these kinds of sins on his own. I believe that without the temptation of the devil, these kinds of thoughts would not have naturally occurred to the human mind. I feel that ritualistic abuse and child sex trafficking, come from this kind of evil. This book explains, how mankind was corrupted by knowledge brought into the world from demonic origin. This book also explains how those works of evil have been reversed, and the forces of darkness no longer have any authority, because of the power of Christ ."
-Ashlie B.

The Unseen Realm-Book
by Dr. Michael S. Heiser

There is a world referred to in the Scripture that is quite unseen, but also quite present and active. Michael Heiser's The Unseen Realm seeks to unmask this world. Heiser shows how important it is to understand this world and appreciate how its contribution helps to make sense of Scripture. The book is clear and well done, treating many ideas and themes that often go unseen themselves. With this book, such themes will no longer be neglected, so read it and discover a new realm for reflection about what Scripture teaches.

Mere Christianity-Book
by CS Lewis

In the classic Mere Christianity, C.S. Lewis, the most important writer of the 20th century, explores the common ground upon which all of those of Christian faith stand together. Mere Christianity provides an unequaled opportunity for believers and nonbelievers alike to hear this powerful apologetic for the Christian faith.

The Problem of Pain-Book

Lewis, one of the most renowned Christian authors and thinkers, examines a universally applicable question within the human condition: “If God is good and all-powerful, why does he allow his creatures to suffer pain?” With his signature wealth of compassion and insight, C.S. Lewis offers answers to these crucial questions and shares his hope and wisdom to help heal a world hungering for a true understanding of human nature.

The Screwtape Letters-Book
by CS Lewis

The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis is a classic masterpiece of religious satire that entertains readers with its sly and ironic portrayal of human life and foibles from the vantage point of Screwtape, a highly placed assistant to "Our Father Below." C.S. Lewis's The Screwtape Letters is the most engaging account of temptation—and triumph over it—ever written.
"Even though this book is fiction, it gave me valuable insight into what goes on in the spirit realm. This book helped me to understand, some of the wicked tactics used by demonic forces against believers. Way before I ever read this book, some of the very same types of lies and temptations used by demons in the Screwtape Letters, had at times entered my mind. Because of this book, I now recognize that the origin of these thoughts was from the enemy, and I now know how to fight them."
-Ashlie B.

The Pilgrim's Progress-Book
by John Bunyan

The Pilgrim's Progress from This World to That Which Is to Come is a Christian allegory written by John Bunyan and published in February, 1678.
"I have listened to this story many times. It is one of my favorite books of all time. If you have ever dealt with doubt, depression, felt weary or been through challenging times in your faith, then you will find this book encouraging and enlightening. This is the story of a character named "Christian's" journey through the trials and temptations of life. With the help of his faithful friends and companions, "Christian" faces and overcomes many of the same obstacles that are common for a believer to experience in real day to day life."

The Christian In Complete Armour-Book
by William Gurnall

"If I might read only one book beside the Bible, I would choose The Christian in Complete Armour." – JOHN NEWTON

"Gurnall’s work is peerless and priceless; every line is full of wisdom; every sentence is suggestive. The whole book has been preached over scores of times, and is, in our judgment, the best thought-breeder in all our library." – CHARLES SPURGEON

"I have always believed in hope, even for traffickers. Many years ago, a former slave trader helped change the world. He became a Christian, left behind the slave trade, and became a pastor. He encouraged a young man named William Wilberforce. William Wilberforce grew up to become the leader in the fight against the slave trade. Because of the work of William Wilberforce and John Newton, the transatlantic slave trade was legally abolished in Europe within their lifetime. John Newton is most well known for having written the song "Amazing Grace", which is now my favorite song ever. The Christian in Complete Armour was John Newton's favorite book. If there was hope for John Newton, then I believe there is hope for everyone."
-Ashlie B.

Foxe's Book of Martyrs-Book
by John Foxe

The Actes and Monuments, popularly known as Foxe's Book of Martyrs, is a work of Protestant history and martyrology by John Foxe, first published in English in 1563 by John Day detailing the lives, sufferings and triumphant deaths of the early Christian and the Protestant Martyrs.

"The reason why I recommend this book is because, it helped me to see that there have been many other Christians, who have also been through persecution, torture, and suffering...and I am not alone. Instead of feeling ashamed of the suffering you have lived through, you should actually be proud of your bravery and perseverance. I have learned that according to scripture, this closely reflects the attitude God has in regards to a believer's persecution and suffering."
-Ashlie B.

          "Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand."

-Ephesians 6:10-13 KJV
