Total DEJA-VU
I'm new at this forum and english is not my native language so i excuse myself for my spelling mistakes.

I am from Puerto Rico, a caribbean territory of the US. I am a former member of a sect too. The sect that I was part of is "catholic" or so they say they are. Like many of you, my parents joined this group when I was a little girl. I grew up away from the rest of my family and society and continuosly hearing our leader teachings as the word of God. When I was in my early 20's the leader started to sexually abuse me. Our leader was very bright and I think he learned from yours not to mess with minors. He deliberatly waited for us to be 21 to start with the abuse.

In our sect we believe our leader to be a decending angel. He tought only a special group of he's trusting wing, that some angels asked God to let them expirience human love, and that sometimes God gave them permition to come to Earth in a descending process in which he had to come from all the glory that angels possess in heaven to all the weaknesess that we humans have. In that descending process, he alleged, that he had to sin for him to complete it. He used many young girls in the group to complete his so called descending process. When he chose one of us, he first tried our confidentiality, he first made sure that we beleived in him and that we wouldn't later tell anyone what he was doing to us. Nobody really knew what he was doing except us girls involved in his barabarities, and each one of us didn't knew what he was doing with the other, because he made us believe that each one was "the chosen one". Our leader's name is Juan Collado and he has dissapeared. The last news we got it was that he was in Orlando,FA.

I've been out of the sect only a year and half and it has taken me to get as much information as possible to understand what I went through. I want to thank the creators of all this sites and the posting of information of your experiences because I can see myself in you in many ways. You can not imagine how similar this leaders work and the organizations they create manage this situations. I read the writings of your leaders and your descriptive experiences and is a total deja vu for me.

I with many ex-members of my sect have made a similar page like this and we have been posting our experience in it since last April. Today when I found this forum I couldn't believe the similarities. Our page is in spanish and you can find it at http://www.misionvirgedelpozo.org and the forum is at http://www.misionvirgendelpozo.org/foro. Like you, many of us have gone to the media so we can expose the real teachings and atrocities practiced in our sect, some are found at http://www.youtube.com, just write virgen del pozo in the search tool and you will find them.

I have posted many of your websites and links to the videos in youtube tha you have posted in our forum so we can beneficiate vice versa.
This sect phenomenon is a result of lack of information. For this I congratulate you in this effort to free minds and souls and to heal in some way the pain of so many victims. We are many around the world and we should collaborate one with another. All my prayers with you.
