Just to recap to this point, I believe what we are hearing mostly is that people use the word “Kidnap” to describe being escorted because “Escort Service” doesn’t sound abusive enough. Many here feel uncomfortable telling other people they were escorted to a program so they embellish their story to replace escort with kidnap.
The one thing I still have a hard time understanding is that I have read that many survivors complain about not being taken seriously about their stories and being viewed as just druggies with little credibility. If this is the thought here then why would survivors jeopardize their credibility further by not telling the truth or embellishing their stories? I would think it would be just the opposite and they would work that much harder to build up their credibility. Keeping communication clear, consistent and honest would go a long way in establishing this.
On a side note:I don’t want to derail this thread with off topic arguments so I responded to one of Bruces posts over here:
