Blue Whale Challenge

ATTENTION PARENTS:

We would like to alert you about a sick cultic game called the Blue Whale Challenge circulating online and around social media targeting teenagers and young adults. Victims of the game’s undue influence are manipulated into causing bodily self-harm and ultimately suicide.

The game originated in Russia and is believed to be linked to 130 cases of suicide to date. Although they have apprehended whom they believe to be its creator, a series of copycat users have appeared online to continue the game. Incidents have been reported in over 19 countries to date, including the United Kingdom, India and two cases in the US.

Here are some of the common signs to look for with your child:

Sharing social media posts with a hashtag #f57 or #f40 or #ImaWhale, or posts about looking for a whale
Waking up at 4:20 to watch scary videos or do other unusual tasks
Scratching a sketch of a whale onto their body
Making deep cuts on their arms or scratching “yes” on their body
Standing on the edge of a roof or bridge (especially if this is unusual for your child)
Taking photos of any of these activities to send to others
Physically hurting themselves
Extreme changes in eating or sleeping habits
--------

If you believe your loved one may be suicidal and/or involved in the Blue Whale Challenge, please contact FACT or the National Suicide Prevention Hotline at 1-800-273-8255.

CULTS ARE TARGETING OUR CHILDREN ONLINE

We have received many complaints this year about children being recruited online by various destructive cultic groups. These groups are brainwashing kids of all ages, especially young teenagers primarily through social media content and Youtube videos, and destroying families as a result.

Parents, please be ever vigilant of your child’s online activities and warn them of the dangers of destructive leaders / cultic groups that seek to manipulate and exploit children.

If you suspect your child is interested and/or involved with a questionable online group, please contact our organization at: www.familiesagainstcultteachings.org/Support/

Please like and share this post with family and friends to spread the word.

Katsura Kan Nazi Sympathizer Evidence

Dear Supporters,

My beloved daughter had no chance against this wicked person, who I believe is a Nazi sympathizer as per his latest Facebook profile post (please see attached photo). As a result of Katsura Kan’s manipulations my daughter is dead, and he is promoting Hitler.

Amazingly, but not surprisingly, he was considered good enough to be hired by Naropa University in Boulder, CO, which is an accredited higher learning institution, where we believe he taught his students without any proper teachings credentials, the destructive dance of Butoh and its philosophy in the classroom which promoted pain, suffering, and death. We will look into what I believe is the undeserved accreditation of this university.

This is the face of evil representing the thousands of corrupt and abusive cult leaders and gurus out there that FACT is diligently fighting against in order to save our children.

Sincerely,

Tibor Stern
On Behalf of the Sharoni Stern Estate

WATCHTOWER VICTIMS MEMORIAL DAY TOMORROW

WATCHTOWER VICTIMS MEMORIAL DAY TOMORROW:

July 26 marks the annual Watchtower Victims Memorial Day. This is a worldwide day of mourning and respect for all victims of the hurtful and hateful policies of the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society, commonly known as Jehovah’s Witnesses.

The idea for the Day was conceived because the shunning experienced by many former Jehovah’s Witnesses is so severe that they often feel as if their family members have died, yet these ones have no grave site to visit, no day for mourning their loss and separation. The Day was then expanded to honor and respect all victims of this religion, including those still trapped within its walls or who have officially left, and those who have lost their lives due to its policies.

COMPLAINT FILED AGAINST The Crossroads Program

LOCATION: St. Louis and Columbia Missouri
WEBSITE: www.thecrossroadsprogram.com

We are looking into a complaint alleging that this drug rehabilitation program is being run as a destructive group that is separating teenagers from their parents and destroying families.

"This drug treatment program, referred to as the group, separates teens from families and acts as a surrogate for families...They have to cut all ties with old friends, even non-drug users. They are encouraged to drop out of school. They are isolated from society and told that outsiders are not winners. One of the 12 steps requires sticking with winners (the group)...The counselors control all decisions such as who members can live with, where they can work, who they can date, etc. The "counseling" sessions never include both the parents and the child. The members of the group all look and act the same."

If you have any relevant information to share and/or believe you have been harmed by this organization, please contact us.

Many people do not understand just how destructive a cultic group can be...

Many people do not understand just how destructive a cultic group can be. Here is an excerpt from a complaint we recently received that we are investigating:

“Many members are estranged from & rejected by family that are still in attendance there…many current & former members are being investigated for various aspects of child abuse, including beatings & sexual abuse…the lead pastor sexually molested members of his own family. His wife wasn't buried 2 weeks & he was married again to a 19 year old virgin…there are members of the church that are convicted pedophiles, you can't marry someone outside the church, meaning a non-member…”

There are thousands of groups like this in the U.S. alone and we are the only non-profit in the U.S. working to stop these groups from destroying innocent lives and families.
Please help us by liking our posts and sharing them with everyone you know to get the word out. Only through education and awareness can people avoid being victimized by destructive cultic groups.

We thank you for your support.

THERE IS NOTHING BETTER FOR US THAN TO RECEIVE A RESPONSE LIKE THIS FROM A PARENT:

“Mr. Stern,

I cannot thank you enough for your kind words of support and advice, and for your great work. You both were so kind in your expressions of concern. I wanted to share with you what appears to be good and optimistic news...You will forever be in my thoughts and prayers.”

This is what we at FACT work so hard for, to try and reunite separated families who are suffering over the loss of their loved ones to destructive groups. No group / leader ever has the right to turn children against their parents and isolate them from their family and friends.

If you have a loved one trapped in a destructive high-control demand group, we are here to help.
