Leaving Her Ultra-Orthodox Past Meant More Than Losing Her Family. It Meant Redefining Her Womanhood. (illegal, weapons)

[Packard fan]

Leah Vincent separated from her deeply religious family as a 16-year-old over the course of two phone calls. She had been sent to New York City to work as a secretary and to fend for herself. Her family had cast her out.

Vincent’s harrowing 2014 memoir, Cut Me Loose: Sin and Salvation After My Ultra-Orthodox Girlhood, chronicles her path from religious devotion to poverty, sexual trauma and self-harm -- and shows her miraculously resurfacing with a new identity (and a degree from Harvard and a career as a writer).

Leaving Her Ultra-Orthodox Past Meant More Than Losing Her Family. It Meant Redefining Her Womanhood.

Talk about a woman with guts there to rise out of her past. I've heard stories about how bad many of those Ultra Orthodox "Jews" are; these evil people are no better than Islamists IMHO.

They're similar, right down to the cousin ****ing and propensity to hoard explosives and fully automatic weapons.

The Child-Rape Assembly Line | VICE | United States

Vice isn't the best source out there but there was a spate of scandals involving Hasidic Jews and child sex abuse and this news was reported all over. Since the Hasidic Jewish community is often very insular, these crimes were not reported to the police and rabbis used to protect other rabbis who engaged in sex abuse.

They are also notorious for being greedy and corrupt.

There was a faction that took over a municipal government. They completely defunded all of the public schools and funded their hasidic acadamy.

They are an evil entity

I haven't seen that but I've seen them practicing for Armageddon in the Catskills with weapons definitely illegal in NY and likely with the feds as well (no way they have the ATF tax stamps).

Yet no one ever did anything about it.
