Religious/spiritual abuse: Often in real or staged Christian churches,
always targeted against any future acceptance of Christianity (even thou9•
many cult families masquerade as active Christians), always emphasizing control of child by satan and his demons. Children are reaped with
symbolic Christian objects and are told that Jesus approved and believes
they are bad. Rituals involving the insertion of eyeballs into the vagina
or rectum symbolize that demons are inside the child always watching.
children are "placed under numerous curses" during rituals. Especially important to uncover is the "curse of silence" (if they tell of the cult,
they and the non-cult listener will die). Although special children are
taught they can develop great powers by serving satan, fear of the diety's
rage seems to~predominate the belief system. Most of the cult abuse is
intertwined with religious dogma. Male and female children and adults are
"married to Satan" (who is considered bisexual) at various ages.
Gene~al physical torture: Mutilation/marking the body for satan, drawing
blood, banging by arms or feet, tubal insertion in body opening to allow
for fluids to be introduced. Electric shock to spine/knees, dragging with
rope or leash around neck, generally being treated like an animal,
immersion in feces/blood buckets/urine, pulling/drilling teeth, being burned (trial by fire), blood transfusions and skin grafts from sacrificial
victims.
Drug abuso: Begins in infancy, is routinely a part of general brainwashing
and rituals. Drugs are very sophisticated and often administered by
medical professionals (IV, IM, gas masks, orally). Most survivors report
that drugs are administered through cranial burr holes as well. The
effects of drug~ are complex, such as resulting in paralysis from the nec.·
down, and are very carefully induced. Some ritual torture need not be
fully experienced by the child, and simply serves symbolic or spiritual
purposes. The cult also uses sodium amy tal to gain information.
Brainwashing: Often in conjunction with drugs, is sophisticated hypnosis
which involves the associative pairing of induced pain/terror + the cult
message + the trigger cue(s). Trigger cues are planted in the subconscious
and are too numerous to list. They are later utilized by the cult to
control the survivor without his or her conscious awareness (visual symbols
on greeting cards, flower colors and arrangements, common hand gestures,
verbal phrases, body postures, facial movements). Brainwashing is an
integral part of ritual abuse and cult indoctrination, and also serves to
create amnesia for cult information such as names, places, etc., thus
protecting cult secrecy. Hypnotic introduction of visual images during
abuse can hamper later therapeutic efforts to uncover accurate memories.
Near death experiences: Particularly
drownings (head is held under water) •
to promote "out of body experiences,"
rituals. Victims may be resuscitated

These are utilized for punishment,
