Ritual abuse is methodical. It often times uses indoctrination. This is meant to break the will of someone else. Ritual abuse may be defined as abuse repeated over an long amount of time. It may include severe physical abuse and sometimes torture and killing. It may include sexual abuse which is usually humiliating, painful and its intention may be to gaining dominance over the one abused. The psychological abuse involved can be devastating and uses ritual indoctrination. Mind control techniques are used which cause strong terror in the victim of the cult members. Most victims suffers from terror and dissociation.

ANSWER

The above answer is very accurate and coves alot of ground. I am just going to add a little more information. This type of abuse can occur in cults. These cults vary in size and what kind of ritual abuse they do. There usually is a high priest/priestess that is the leader of this type of cult. These type of cults can be quite violent and extremely dangerous. Also these cults can be trans-generational which means they can be passed on from one generation to another. These types of cults do exist but not is much known about how widespread the these cults are? Where they are located? How they operate? What type of people join these groups? etc...

It was practiced by Etruscan pirates, not by the Romans. It was the body of death.

Why would you want to torture a baby!! You sick sick person!!

Torture in it its primary use is getting other people to reveal information, in other cases it can be used to inflict pain on others . People actually torture other people just to get a sexual thrill, others for extreme punishments.

Tickling Media Forum has stories, both fiction and real. As well as does Tickle Theater.

Yes. If you do not get enough sleep, your brain does not have time to ready itself for the new incoming information and therefore you will learn less because you cannot register what is being said.

No but it is not something I would recommend. If you fly off the handle threatening to sue a person it could possibly look bad to the judge. Consult with an attorney/lawyer to see if you have a case first. They will help you with the legal proceedings from there.

The fireworks device with a wheel propelled with a battery of rockets around the rim is called a Catherine Wheel almost by historical accident. One of the many saints named Catherine, was allegedly tortured or martyred on a spiked wheel. However, no flames nor pyrotechnics were involved. Somehow the wrong buttons get pushed and we have a confusion with chariots of Fire and the biblical tales of Ezekiel and his Wheel, but not referred to as a chariot in the Bible, by the way. Actually Ezekielian wheel would make more sense as the wheel was apparently surrounded with smoke and steam if not actual fire effects. In the US this type of firework is illegal except for organized displays. It is usually called a Pinwheel, maybe becaue of separation of church and state, rather than Catherine wheel which has religious connotations. And Ezekiel saw a Wheel!

The press was a torture device in which the victim would lie under a large wooden board, and large rocks and weights were placed on top, which crushed the person underneath. The person would have to give in to the crime otherwise they would probably be crushed to death, even if they didn't actually commit it.

Look up POW (topics) they're the men that usually experienced those devices.

Yes - depending which side you are on. Also 'terrorism' can and is at times looked upon as the poor man's war. Don't forget, we sort of invented it for our own Revolutionary War. (With a little help from the Indians ... but most of the real atrocities were by whites.)

Technically, No. Water boarding is considered unethical by some, but no previsions in any laws I can find prohibit water boarding.

Water boarding performed on every Navy Seal so they understand what their enemies may put them through should they be captured.

In the most public case the water boarding of two people, know to be very bad men, saved the life of thousands in California. How is the inconvenience of two men even comparable to the thousands that lived because of it. Remember these were known to be VERY bad men. I believe it IS illegal. A sheriff weas convicted in Texas during the early 1980s for doing this. Also, if it is legal, why don't police ' waterboard ' prisons or suspects?

Quote from the Related Link: "A cheap and effective way to torture someone was with the use of rats. There were many variants, but the most common was to force a rat through a victim's body (usually the intestines) as a way to escape. This was done as follows:

The victim was completely restrained and tied to the ground or any horizontal surface. A rat was then placed on his stomach covered by a metallic container. As the container was gradually heated, the rat began to look for a way out - through the victim's body.

Digging a hole usually took a few hours of agonizing pain for the victim. This almost invariantly resulted in death."

Because they are narcissists and that type of behavior is in their nature. You need to educate yourself about narcissism. The Mayo Clinic website is a good place to begin. Dragging someone else down makes them feel like they have power.

There are probably no reliable statistics on this particular cause because NO ONE is going to admit being drowsy or asleep at the wheel.

The Medieval period of the Middle Ages was violent and blood thirsty. In barbarous times the cruel and pitiless feeling which induced legislators to increase the horrors of tortures, also contributed to the aggravation of the fate of prisoners. Torture chambers were included in many castles. Law or custom did not prescribe any fixed rules for the treatment of hapless prisoners who faced torture. Different types of torture were used depending on the victim's crime and social status. Torture was seen as a totally legitimate means for justice to extract confessions, or obtain the names of accomplices or other information about the crime. Torture was a legitimate way to obtain testimonies and confessions from suspects for use in legal inquiries and trials during the Middle Ages. an example of a device is: Scavengers Daughter. This device was designed to have the opposite effect to that of the rack. The body was compressed as opposed to being stretched. This rack was invented by the Lieutenant of the Tower of London during the reign of King Henry VIII of England (1509-1547). The name of the Lieutenant of the Tower of London during this period was Leonard Skevington (aka Leonard Skeffington). A derivation of his name led to the device he initiated, or was the father of - the Scavengers Daughter although it was first referred to as Skeffington's Irons. The device consisted of one single iron bar that connected iron shackles closing round the victim's hands, feet and neck. This rack positioned the head to the knees of the victim in a sitting position. It compressed the body as to force the blood from the nose and ears.

If it was, it was W's fault. Right?

O'bama - the most irresponsible president in our country's history. Just ask him. "Nope. Wasn't my fault. That was George Bush's fault."

He take responsibility for nothing therefor he is responsible for nothing. Isn't that how it works?
