It's like: how do you reach outside of that world for help?
Imagine growing up in a world where strict religious rules govern every aspect of your life, and disobedience is met with severe punishment. This is the reality Reuben Stutzman faced in the Amish community. In this eye-opening episode of 'Stop Child Abuse Now', Reuben opens up about his harrowing experiences and his journey to freedom.
Despite the constant threat of violence from his father, Reuben found solace in secretly reading the Bible and discovering a connection with a higher power he calls Yahweh. His newfound faith gave him the strength to question the rigid doctrines of his upbringing, even as it led to further conflict within his family and community.
Reuben's wife, unable to understand his 'strange God', turned against him, leading to false accusations and her eventual departure with their children under the Amish elders' influence. Through his story, Reuben sheds light on the hidden world of abuse within closed-off religious communities and the courageous work of the Amish Rescue Mission, which helps young victims like him find safety and hope.
This episode is a powerful reminder of the resilience of the human spirit and the importance of bringing hidden abuses to light.
