'Merika has some similar issues.

Freedom of religion can morph into legalized rape

I remember running into the CoG in the 70s it was an experience.

Religion poisons everything! I wish I could live long enough to see the end of religion. Happy for this woman to be free of those monsters.

The group still exists under a new name Family International. It started in the US. I'm not sure if it still exists in Macau - that is a pretty wild and open part of China now, allowing gambling and such. Then again, the Chinese don't take well to cults, especially xtion ones.

The world needs more women like her.

Nit picking here… Macau hasn’t been an island since the 17th century when a narrow channel shared with the mainland was filled in with land reclamation. Or so the story goes.

Good for her. I hope she has a long, healthy life, and helps as many victims of abuse as she can.

Personally, I'm all for taking a flamethrower to the leaders of all cults.

Splendid. I'm always happy to see someone become more enlightened and advance their freedom. Poor woman has been through Hell so she will be in my positive projections.

She was lucky she left that nightmare

I feel proud of Faith Jones for leaving her family and that horrible cult. She was raped repeatedly starting at age 12. "God ordained it."

Now she's an attorney. She worked hard to heal from the trauma she experienced. Bravo!
