Faith Jones is a 44 year old attorney born in the United States she wrote a book titled Sex cult nun (Nun of sexual cult), where she tells everything about her family history and the child abuse she had to experience.
The The Post newspaper He interviewed him after his writing was published. Faith declared that 10 years before executing him, he went to a meditation retreat in the mountains of Sri Lanka, a region located on the Asian continent. “I am the type of person who has to be busy all the time. I thought, ‘I’m going to go crazy trying to sit there for eight hours a day meditating!’ ” confessed to the middle.
To his surprise, he felt very well among the Buddhist monks and nuns, as they were doing housework and chanting scriptures all the time in the middle of nowhere. “I was like, ‘Why does this look so familiar to me?’” Jones recalled. “And then I realized. I grew up like this! I grew up as a nun, except there was a lot of sex involved. “
It was at that moment that he decided to write his memoirs, in the book he describes his upbringing in the Children of God cult, now called The Family. This was founded by his grandfather and was recognized for his sexual practices and accusations of abuse, it is even reported that they encouraged sexual relations between children and adults.
At age 6, Jones says, she felt pressure to believe in “the Law of Love,” which encourages women to show the love of Jesus by submitting to sex with men.
He was only able to escape The Family at age 22, but it took him much longer to accept that he had been abused. At that age she was able to start her life again, which led her to obtain a law degree from Berkeley Law University.
“When I left, I still didn’t think that what they had taught me was necessarily wrong” said. “It took me a few years to live in normal society before I could look back on my life and say, ‘Oh, that’s what happened.’
Jones was born in Hong Kong in 1977 and is the seventh daughter of a polygamous Sons of God family. He grew up with six older half-siblings, two mothers (Mom Esther, his father’s first wife, and Mom Ruthie, his biological mother, a former Long Island hippie).
The woman relates that she never attended school as a child because she spent many hours a day praying and doing housework. His family told him that he should prepare for the end of time.
At first, his family did not have a bathroom or basic services, they bathed in a barrel. But before long, Faith’s father improved the place by building guesthouses, planted a garden, and obtained a group of farm animals. Thus the property became a fully functioning religious commune.
“We were in a religious order, we lived in community, without possessions, we spent hours in prayer and reading, proselytizing,” Jones said. “But the difference is that most religious orders forbid sex; we emphasize it ”.
Sex was a part of every aspect of her life. The cartoons were of naked women as was the religious literature. In her book she writes that “the Holy Spirit was depicted as a plump, fiery and horny goddess who wore only a heart-shaped bikini attached with pearl strings. The monthly newsletters included photos of topless women. “
One of the first coloring books Jones acquired was on sexual organs and a picture of a “naked and completely aroused man penetrating a woman wearing a flower crown on her head.”
“Our sex is our service to God,” he writes. “To reject sex is to be tough and selfish, not to give in to God’s will. And our absolute obedience is expected. “
In the early 1980s, when Faith was still a child, she would go on “flirty fishing” missions organized by her mother. There, women were asked to “prostitute themselves for Christ, seducing men for the cause or at least drawing favors from them.”
“For me, it was even a little fun because we could go to good restaurants and travel in fancy cars,” he said. “He would do fun things with me and give me that attention that I didn’t get from my father,” Jones said of one of the attendees. “Although sometimes she had to pretend to sleep while Ashok and her mother had sex in bed next to her.”
She thought at all times that she should do it. “They told us that we had no property rights over our body, that it belonged to God,” he continued. “And that allowed all these abuses to occur.”
In his text, he wrote that when he was 3 years old, he was part of the video Asian Angels Vol. 1, in which scantily clad women and girls from The Family’s Asian missions portrayed sexy dancing goddesses of dreams.
He also adds that when he was 6 years old his “Uncle Jeff” (the children referred to all adults in the cult as “uncle” or “aunt”) “showed him how to please him with his hands.” “The boys were asked which ‘aunt’ they wanted to have a sexy moment with, and then they went into different rooms and did what the boy wanted: full sex or just cuddling,” he writes.
When Jones was 10 years old, The Family wanted to control child sex. An “Aunt Sara” came to the farm to implement a rotating sex “swap” schedule for her teens, each of whom went to bed with someone for an hour. Jones said she did not have sex, but felt pressure to do “something sexual” during these authorized sessions.
“She had to learn to be submissive and submissive. That was the hardest moment for me. It attacked my whole sense of individuality, the humiliation of that, ”he added.
Years later, Jones was able to spend time with her grandmother in Atlanta, who took her to school for a few months. “I found that I have this insatiable desire to learn, explore, understand,” Jones recalled. “Before that, what I learned on The Family was incredibly limited to basically the Mo Letters, and I was very boring. They were the same things repeated over and over ”.
Jones continued to be a true believer, and when her father showed up in Atlanta, the family returned to Macau and then China. But she had already had the experience of a real school, so she taught herself math, English, social studies, and science.
She was 16 when she had sex with a guy outside of The Family. She narrated that as she approached him, she said to herself: “This is for God.”
“It took me a long time to realize that being coerced into having sex with someone based on being told that God will punish you, or fearing humiliation, is the same as rape,” Jones said.
She bounced around Asia, submitting to the whims of The Family and unwanted sex, until at age 22, in 1999, she decided to leave and pursue a college education.
“I didn’t see a future for me that was attractive at all,” he said of his decision to leave the group. “I was really unhappy. Even at that time, I thought, maybe I’ll come back. ” Jones’s parents happily supported his decision and his father got him a job at a new hotel in Macau to finance his move to the United States.
When she first left the group, she said she felt pressured to have sex that she didn’t want to because, she explained, “I didn’t think I could refuse.” Her first partner in college encouraged her to talk about her experiences in worship, and helped her realize that what happened to her was abuse and wrong.
At 44 years old, she claims to feel happy and have a loving boyfriend. “I feel very comfortable with my sexuality. It is definitely part of my healing. “
His parents and siblings have also left the sect. They have also apologized to her for the trauma that happened.
“Of course, I experienced anger with them. I was like, ‘How could you let these things happen?’ I understand how people can be genuinely and deeply deceived. It doesn’t change that the action is wrong or a violation, but it does change the way I perceive it. “
Jones now teaches women how to claim ownership of their own bodies and gives talks with the title, “I Own Me.”
“I hope that we can make a cultural change in some of these areas of abuse and manipulation: women’s rights and children’s rights,” she said. “I shed light from my personal experiences in this cult, but these issues are relevant to everyone,” he concluded.
