I do not see a well meaning if misguided entity. I see them as calculated and cold ; opportunistic and vulgar in their
methods of coaching 'victims' for media events ; heartless in their requiring anyone who might turn to them for help
to declare and proclaim that they have been victimised in order to receive assistance , when in fact abuse may not
even be the case.
A Dub Established Provider I used to know and care a great deal for did a bit of social experimentation :
Went to Ruhama , told them she was ready to quit escorting , and was looking for a way out -- further education ,
rent assistance , information , etc. >>> there was absolutely NO meaningful assistance available or offered ,
but they did attempt to engage her in their re-education efforts.
She walked away in disgust.
Well meaning zealots ? Only part of that notion is correct in my opinion.
