Disturbing Article About Ultra Orthodox Fundamental Cult
The link below links to a really upsetting story....and it is not just about ultra-Orthodox Jews. Religious fundamentalism has torn many families apart.
I don't talk about it much, but when I was young, shortly after I quit competitive skating, I was sucked into a cult like group. I think my parents must have been sad like this parent who wrote this article, but It passed. I live my life now grateful for every day with my children and friends.
I also have recently watched "One of Us" on Netflix and the stories there are really disturbing. "One of Us" is not an example of all ultra orthodox or Hasidic groups, but so very disturbing.
