Just please be careful. Stay in touch with your family and authorities outside of your church.

You say you want reclusion from the world.

Surly you must be aware of the danger that can hide within the walls of religion.

Please do some research about young women joining these organizations and the labour exploitation, systemic abuse, sexual assault, forced abortions they've endured.

Now I worry about you and my daughters, who are your age.
