Filipina friend is in a cult.

Apparently they cant celebrate birthdays or holidays.

Of course they are very strict and controlling, but the worst part is the abuse.

She is in an abusive relationship, but wont get authorities involved, lawyers, or even leave him, because it would mean she would be hurting him. He wrecked her car, is living in her apartment while she lives in a car, and doesnt work, so she pays for it all. She wont kick him out, because her church doesnt allow to let them fight back against anything.

it sounds like a way to excuse abuse. And she has told me that her uncles abused her as kids,

Her boyfriend apparently got caught watching CP ai porn, and she defends it. She got angry at me today because i brought up why God would want innocent people to be abused, and the church taught her that it is Gods good old fashioned Mysterious Ways.

I cant help her. It feels like Ive lost one of my oldest friends to a pedophile and an abusive church.
