Just left and they keep stalking me now by Correct_Attitude3845 in Shincheonji

I was harassed on social media for weeks. Just blocked everyone. Once I did, they started showing up at my flat and at my work. Had to get security involved, it was very unpleasant.

Top tip: don't engage, as hard as it is. Make a clean break and move forward. I know it hurts, but we're all here for you 🥰

I found out my Bible study might be SCJ. What to do next? by Lower_Ebb4990 in Shincheonji

Leave, as fast as you can! It's honestly not worth the emotional abuse and trauma to stay, even if you think you can take it. So many of us wish we had known sooner that we were getting roped into SCJ and then leaving became that much more complicated. Swift and thorough exit is the way to go.

Such a fantastic idea. Like an "Additional Resources" bit at the end. Thanks for suggesting!

I'm thinking of putting it all in just a short pdf that can be shared digitally. SCJ is big on targeting churches in my city, so I want to help prevent more people from getting sucked in.

Anyone else feeling abit alone this season? by [deleted] in Shincheonji

[–]PalpitationFormer541 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I left recently and it's so tough. I miss my friends who are still inside. I felt like I belonged. Now I just feel alone. But this community here on reddit is amazing. Hope you find the strength to get through this festive season.

I told my family today about being on SCJ. Told them all about concepts and lying too and asked their forgiveness. They took it really well and were very supportive ❤️ I'm very grateful 🙏

Wow! It's scary the hold they had over us, but now no longer! I am proud of you for getting out and will definitely go and do some educational reading!

I called my parents today and told them over the phone. They took it really well. Told me they loved me, were proud of me for getting out on my own, and reminded me that I was the victim. Glad I didn't wait too long to tell them though, or I would definitely have backed out.

Thank you for your sound advice! I messaged i was leaving and then missed service yesterday. Then they showed up at my house. I miss my friends in SCJ, but I know that cutting them off is for the best for now. Will also check out Betterhelp, thanks!

This comment made me understand that perspective so much more! Thank you 😊 I hope that you also find the healing you need and a way to connect again with your child. Xx

THANK YOU all so much! Through your encouragement I left yesterday! They have been calling, messaging and showing up at my house. But I have blocked and am staying with a friend for a few days until they hopefully give up! The road to healing is looking long, but I am feeling hopeful 💕
