God Bless You and protect you. May God's peace reign in your heart. I am certain your speaking out will give the courage to others to do the same and protect others from enduring the same terrible abuse. Thank you. You are a true soldier for Christ. |

I am so sorry for all you have suffered. Thank you for your testimony and forgiving your abuser. I can't forgive him for things he did you, because he was so cruel: he treated you as if you were a thing, not as a sensitive human being.... But I am grateful you were able to forgive him. God bless you! |

Sorry about what you suffered. He preyed upon your beauty as a young man simply because he was obviously very shallow, not minding things of the spirit nor his obligation toward saving souls. In other words, he used you; this was not love. This was pure barbarism. The sexual revolution had him. |

You are one brave soul. I cannot imagine the year of suffering you have endured. It would have been easier for you to sink into the shadows and never tell but we needed you to come forward. We cannot stop this without brave people like you. I am most grateful that you did not lose your own faith permanently over this! So so many do. Your soul is important and you did not let him steal it from you. |
