Afiiliate Consumer Shield

About a year ago my girlfriend moved out to China. Things remained great between us, we talked almost every night for hours straight through almost that whole year until about the events of about two weeks ago. One night about two weeks while we did our usual talk here on the internet she started bringing stuff up about this "Christian" group she got into while in China. On the subject about the group she talked the leader of the group. She talked about how much she admires him and looks up to him. She talked about how he could speak to God in an unknown language, has the power to heal and can tell her things God is saying to her(O_o). Then she went on to say he was telling her to stay away from me because God was saying I’m interfering with her life and her growth in Jesus Christ. This ticked me off the guy didn’t know me at all and he was telling her to stay away from me even though he didnt know anything about me and her. I explained to her i didn’t agree with that or the sounds of that group. Infact it creeps me out. My girlfriend then got highly offended, got angry and stormed off and said she didnt want to talk.
The Next night she comes back on and everything seemed oddly normal she talked about her day and was calm, then at the end of the conversation she suddenly told not to message her for awhile and i was like ok? Well a few days go by and I go on to facebook to talk to her, to find she blocked me. So I went on skype blocked there and Msn also blocked there. This highly confused me because she seemed calm the last i talked to her. Then all the sudden I’m blocked on everything. So I approached her brother about what was going on. He explained to me that her group leader came over that night I talked to her, completely bashed on me and my biblical views and told her I was a weed in her life and she needed to stop talking to me. He then ordered her to block me on everything and she did. Her brother also told me she yelled at him for talking to me and said he shouldn’t be talking to anyone that has opposing views from what their leader was teaching them. Since that final night I talked to her I haven’t heard from her since. But I have continued to keep in contact with her brother to keep figuring out what’s going on(hes out of the question for help though because he’s fairly lazy and gets easily annoyed when I ask for it….the only thing he‘ll do is tell me what’s going on). The last thing her brother told me was the leader of this group gave her an “Accountability” partner(who ironically also highly hates me…even though she also doesn’t know me) to help keep her away from me…..making things just that much harder for me to contact her or ever hear from her again.
I’ve tried different attempts on skype to talk to her by creating new accounts and sending her messages urging her to talk out this situation with me(which is difficult on there because you can only use a low amount characters at a time when sending a message to someone your not friends with, not exactly enough room to write a full good message) but to no prevail, she wouldn’t respond to any of them…. So I gave up on that idea for not only not working but also because I didn’t want to keep harassing her with small messages.
The only conclusions I’ve drawn from this whole situation is this guy is taking complete control of her life and she’s developed some emotional attachment to him because she feels hes there for her and right on everything he says( and she doesn’t have a thing for him crush wise, shes 18 and hes like 30 something so i know that isnt it). I really don’t know what to do in this situation. In the past weeks I’ve fallen into a depression and have worried nonstop about this whole situation(escipally after learning hes convincing her to stay in China for more years). Me and this girl dated, and were close friends for over two years and suddenly shes gone under the hypnosis of a cult style leader, hating and ignoring me. How do i try and reason with this girl and get her to talk?(only way I can is through those real short messages and keep in mind she gets offended easily on a lot of this…)or is there another way to this situation? I want to do what I can to get her away from this creep that’s controlling her life and try to get her back to her normal self. How do I win her back from him??

You are not going to get a good answer at YA. Go to the Rick Ross forum and ask there http://forum.rickross.com

IMO: Yes it is a cult with sophisticated techniques. Very often cult members have a sexual attraction to the cult’s leader. It is standard cult procedure to have a "buddy" watch over all the activities of a new members and cut them off from all families and friends.
