December 2009 Ritual Abuse Newsletter Prepared by ra-info.org

December 2009 Ritual Abuse Newsletter
Prepared by ra-info.org in affiliation with Survivorship


I am considering finding software that will make mailings easier. If I find something I like, the next newsletter may look different. Jeannie


1. http://www.ra-info.org has posted a translation of the FAQ into Finnish! While this is wonderful, it makes it even more ridiculous that the German translation is only one-third done, there is no Italian FAQ, and the French FAQ is awaiting proof reading. Can anybody help out? Polish, Greek, Russian, Hebrew, and other languages would also be very welcome.


2. Survivorship is looking for a volunteer editor for their Journal. This involves soliciting articles, copy-editing, some lay-out, and gathering permission to publish forms. The position comes with a superb proof reader and a pool of people who have published before. It's fun -- I've done it! If you are interested, write info@survivorship and put "Attention: Dvora" in the subject line.


2. Recordings of five presentations from S.M.A.R.T. 2009 Stop Ritual Abuse and Mind Control Conference are available at http://smart-talks.podomatic.com/ The talks by Lowell Routley and DeJoly LaBrier are also in transcript form. It's good to hear people's voices.


Lowell Routley 2009 - Dissociation and Time Management
Hal Pepinsky 2009: Reflections of a Believer
DeJoly LaBrier 2009: Life as a Onesie
Shamai Currim 2009: From Victim to Survivor to Advocate
Neil Brick 2009- Ritual Abuse: In the Trenches of the Stopping Child Abuse Movement

4. The two surveys for survivors being conducted by ra-info are still open. If you haven't already taken them, go check them out at:


First survey: Terminology: The process in which a person is made to believe, think, or do something by a pereptator http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=ORROOWfBj2ei_2fjGiON153Q_3d_3d


Second survey: Terminology: The term used for the days on which abuse routinely occurredhttp://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=I70FS67q0986JBoimvSItw_3d_3d


If you are aware of other published surveys or if you have suggestions for future surveys, please write rahome@ra-info.org.


5. Survivorship has added a section on satanic ritual calendars found on the web. The source, when known, is cited. The calendar Survivorship publishes yearly is complied from reports of Survivorship members and includes polytheistic and Nazi as well as satanic dates.http://www.survivorship.org/resources/dates.html


May whatever you celebrate this season be peaceful and joyous.
