Sexual Abuse within the 2x2 Group

Workers Gossip and Slander

One of the biggest problems in the cult is the lack of trust. Workers stay in people's homes and tell others about what they hear in those homes. New workers coming into the field will often share their bias with new workers rather than let the new workers make decisions on their own. People's marriage issues etc are blabbed to elders and their wives in the field. It is common knowledge that the workers are the biggest gossipers around. The workers don't have jobs or work to keep themselves busy so they get involved in business that isn't theirs. This makes marriage issues harder with all the gossip. When workers don't like one person in a marriage, then they may slander them to others in the field, dropping hints here and there to turn people against them.

It has been reported by many that sexual abuse happens within the 2x2 group. I've talked to several members who have made statements regarding sexual abuse in the 2x2 group. Here's a link to a website of a man said to be abused by the worker Noel Tanner Sex abuse by Noel Tanner

My website doesn't focus on sexual abuse, but many people have reported to me sexual abuse they've experienced at the hand of workers. More information is being gathered on this.

I have been contacted by several people who have been sexually abused by 2x2 elders and 2x2 followers. Unfortunately some people have committed suicide because they could not deal with the hurt and pain caused by the 2x2s.

If you are the victim of sexual abuse, please report it to the authorities in your area immediately. If you need help in doing this, feel free to contact me.
