New Orleans Mission

I was put on brexpiprazole for schizophrenia and things were going good and stopped taking them and wound up homeless. They toldme at the mission that Jesus is the only thing I need because its Satan that is playing with my mind and I dont like the medicine so its probably Satan too. Im joining the program because I want to be free and its the only way.

I was a disciple of this place in 2023. The members here seem very kind, but they're not. They refused to give blankets and coats out when people needed them, and members cannot use their phones or take their mental health meds. They monitor your calls and you're not allowed to leave the premises at all unless you've been with them for a while. Members also have their phone's confiscated too. Probably the closest thing to a cult you could possibly have. I do not regret breaking my contract with them. After I was free of my contract and homeless once again, I used the little clothes I had to help the homeless people sitting outside.

This place is so cruel. Very Cult like. You have to really join their program in order to stay and they give you no freedom and no electronics. If you are overnight you can stay for 21 days at a time. It starts over after you leave for 30 days. You have to sit for an hour in chapel to get dinner and sometimes they have people that just want to sing the whole time when you need a good word of God. This is not a concert. If you are heavy they will try to deny you a place to sleep because they assume you can’t get on a top bunk or a cot unless you join the program. Then you may suddenly have a bed. You can’t have your phone overnight as well. They make you share one bathroom downstairs but there is two of them just so you can join the program. There is an even bigger one is upstairs with no bunk beds but not for overnight guests. You only get a 10 minute shower but it seems to be less than that because they can’t tell time and use an analog clock that barely works. This is why you still see people sleep in that area under the bridge even though the city kicked them out probably because of this shelter. I would be afraid as a female to stay here and join anything, even if it’s Christian based. The state needs to investigate all these shelters.
