Hello E,

Firstly, I want to express that I am really sorry that
you have been having such a horrible time, and that these
things are things that no one should have to go through.

I'm not advocating actually following this advice, but
I'm saying it because it's how I would handle it.

I would first ascertain whether or not this missionary
only gets mad when you try to leave.... meaning, does he
seem to get along as long as he perceives that you are
"cooperating"?? If I noticed that this missionary seemed
happy as long as I didn't mention leaving, then I would
look like I'm participating, and biding time, while try-
ing to find a way to get my stuff out of his house. I
have actually done this to a smaller degree already. But
if there is a way you could slowly pilfer out your stuff
just a little bit at a time, hopefully without being noticed, then maybe that is a way to handle it.

Your situation, however, is different for a few reasons.
One, you've tried leaving before, and this missionary
may "be on to you", so to speak. Also, it is a different
story entirely when you talk about veiled threats. Death
is at least typical of anger, but the rape is altogether
bizarre. Either one should send up HUGE red flags.

Do you have a fear of at least naming the missionary who
has been issuing the threats?

In any case, please keep us apprised of your situation on
a daily basis, if you feel up to it. We are with you in
spirit.

Love,

PSUDAB
