Thanks for the warm welcome Raz!
Yeah, I realized in retrospect that I should have challenged the issue more, but you know what they say about retrospect
I may not be new to NTM-think, but I am new to this forum. I find that a lot of the info here takes awhile to digest. I owe a lot to the people who have been brave enough to share their abuse stories here. This forum has filled in the some missing pieces of my life and answered a lot of questions for me. I am outraged about the level of abuse NTM/Ethnos360 has been willing to sweep under the rug. They are acting in direct opposition to their shiny words, and it has made me question a lot of things about them. Just like if someone in my life said one thing then did the opposite, I would probably not trust them as much. You know "Actions speak louder than words" and all that nonsense.
I still think it's ridiculous to call ANY victims "whiney". As if to say their stories don't matter or something along those lines. These stories have been so important in my own life that I have to agree with mosquito bite: they are heroes, not whiners. How different my life would be right now if I hadn't happened upon their testimony!!!!
Drinking the Koolaid takes its toll sooner or later.
