Kibbi introduces herself as a satanic ritual abuse survivor, addressing the controversy surrounding her experiences and beliefs.

4. Family Dynamics and Abuse
Kibbi delves into the abusive family environment, detailing the manipulative and controlling behavior of her parents.

She explains how her strong sense of right and wrong set her apart from her more obedient sisters, leading to further isolation and abuse from her mother.
5. Daily Life in the Cult
The day-to-day routine under her mother's leadership involved maintaining an outward appearance of normalcy through church attendance while secretly engaging in satanic rituals.
Kibbi Linga:
"A lot of it was looking normal on the outside, but feeling crummy on the inside. For example, going to church, getting baptized." (12:58)
She reveals that Catholicism was used as a front to mask the cult's true activities, making it difficult for outsiders to suspect the sinister operations occurring within the family.
6. Rituals and Human Sacrifices
Kibbi provides a detailed account of the rituals, including the sacrifice of Sam and the use of cannibalism as a means of control and manipulation.
Kibbi Linga:
"We used Catholicism as a front... One of my most traumatic memories was with Sam. We had dinner with him, and they sacrificed him. I was forced to eat human flesh." (15:23, 35:13)
She describes the psychological trauma of being coerced into participating in these acts, emphasizing the deep-seated guilt and shame that kept her silent for years.
7. Attempting to Escape and Seeking Help
Kibbi details her efforts to distance herself from the cult, both physically and mentally, culminating in her eventual escape at age 23.
Kibbi Linga:
"I was 23 years old when I moved from Wisconsin, thousands of miles away. I physically escaped then... Mentally, spiritually, emotionally, not until age 30." (36:29)
Despite escaping, the lingering effects of her trauma continued to hinder her recovery, leading her to seek therapy and other forms of support.
8. Healing and Recovery Journey
Kibbi discusses her ongoing healing process, including therapy, faith, and support systems that have aided her recovery.

9. Reflections and Insights on Healing a Sick Culture
Kibbi offers profound insights into how society can address and heal from deep-seated cultural and individual traumas.
Kibbi Linga:
"We need to normalize getting help on both spectrums. It's not normalized for victims of satanic ritual abuse... We also need to provide space for perpetrators to seek help." (56:19)
She emphasizes the importance of awareness and compassion in facilitating both victim recovery and perpetrator rehabilitation, advocating for a more empathetic and supportive societal approach.
