Fact 1. I am an Asian American from California.

Fact 2. Rape is rape. No means no. There is no "level" of rape. You're better than that thinking Igzy.

Fact 2. I was raped outside of the church, but felt that it was my fault and there was nothing I could do about it because of the rhetoric of "Women are inferior" and "You were asking for it" told to me as a child. I kept it as a secret for many years and I had no one to talk to.

Fact 3. Not only was I raped, but many of the girls I grew up with in the church were. Some by LC members and some outside of it because of how we were made to feel. Elders in our church in California knew of some of the rapes, and still did literally nothing and told the victims to not talk about it. The men who raped these girls were never reprimanded and were continued to be allowed around women, even their victims.

Fact 4. None of us victims ever talked about it, or told anyone until we all started sharing and it was shocking, even to us how common it was and still no one knew or talked about it.

Fact 5. In a seperate instance to my rapes, at a church function, I was molested by a LC member as a young girl. An elder found out. I was reprimanded for the way I dressed and told "I was asking for it". The male was never even told not to do that again. This is not only my experience, but almost across the board for young women in the church us survivors are finding out the more we talk about it.

Fact 6. The history of sexual abuse, victim blaming and covering up and not talking about things, I thought started with WL. Apparently it started with pornographic materials made by WN.

Fact 7. Until men, in the LC or ex-LC members begin to acknowledge this and furthermore begin to call out these abuses and do something about it, it will continue to happen as women are given no respect amongst the church and on top of that thought to be the only cause of heresies. This is a burden on your shoulders now and you can choose to do something about it or not. God WILL judge you not only on what you do in this life, but what you choose not to do.

There is much more, but if these facts cannot move you to do something, nothing will. I am not trying to sound angry, only simple, plain and direct and am sorry for that miscommunication via text. I also am incredibly sorry that the LC has made it so hard for many ex members to acknowledge reality.

An excellent wife, who can find ? For her worth is far above jewels. Proverbs 31:10

OHIO, using abusive language in this context is not Reviling. These are abusive topics and I will not coat it with flowery language or dumb it down to make it easier for you to read. The feelings you have right now of telling ME to be careful are just you projecting your own guilt onto me. Shame on you. You still, have not answered any question I have asked. I take your silence as a "yes, I do believe that women are inferior and weaker than men". If you didn’t believe in this horrific model of life, you would jump at the opportunity to defend yourself.
