I happen to click on the site and look around. I did this for a few months, finally figuring out how to look at the articles. I finally reached out to the administrators via the contact page and expressed an interest in joining the group. They responded immediately and Mason set me up. I then attended a meeting and walla I found my place and I found the lord. I did not believe in the Christian God because I was raped by a member of the church my family attended when I was fourteen years old. He was the Pastor’s and long story short I was one of several girls asked to keep what happened to me silent and to practice forgiveness. My father was a sub pastor if you will and he told me to put it behind me and not to bring the whole church down because of one lost soul. I refused to return and I was beaten and sent away. I became the embarrassment instead of him. I never return to my parent’s house and when I turned 18 I was on my own. I still do not speak to them and they have no idea what happened to me or where I am because I do not communicate with anyone who communicates with them. I decided when I left them if their God was all right with what happened to me and how I was treated, I wanted no part of the Christian God or the Christian religion.

I feel like the Most High reached out and guided me to The Ephesus Gnostic Group website and here I am, a willing, happy servant of the Most High and I have a family of my own to love and have my love returned.

Kendra, it grieved me when I read your post. I am not shocked by the stories I hear but I am always saddened by stories like this. I am so glad you found us and I hope you know we are always here for you. I think you should spend some time with Jess because Rod is so close to the situation and you know why I want you to spend some time with Jess. I love you and none of this was your fault it was his and he is the one that should be shunned. Responsibility is a must in the Gnostic Faith and when someone does something wrong they need to acknowledge what they've done, who they've hurt, and then let their actions express the words that come out out of their mouth. I'm sorry isn't enough in some situations, but open acknowledgment goes a long way.

My nephew brought me into the fold. I had pain, sadness, confusion. I felt trapped in a body, a life, I didn’t always like. I felt empty and wasn’t interested in developing any close relationships. I was fine in the world of me and only me. Safe. I built my wall around myself and nothing matter outside of that wall. Nothing. Jay drug me along with him and Mason saw me. It makes this grown man cry. No one ever really saw me. It broke me down and I had to keep coming back. In the process I found my place with the Most High, I found myself again, and I found a woman. Praise to the Most High.

Kelton it was good for both of us, perfectly timed

I know that’s right Ebony girl. Don’t give me that God money mess when it comes to tithing. God does not need money. I know they were mad, they need that money to maintain their lavish lifestyle. Val, it seems to be common for women to feel as if they are always to accept responsibility for men misbehaving. We are only responsible for ourselves and a woman can never make a relationship work when the man is abusive. It’s a level of dysfunction that is so profane it reeks of foulness. I’d assume be in a community of killers than one with men who beat and rape women and children.

I'm reading these post and I'm disgusted with what has happened to so many women. How dare clergy stoop to dismissing this kind of behavior! It fits right into this notion some devil is making them do bad things. This need to blame something or someone else is the main reason my family felt so displaced in the Christian religion. The bottom line again folks is...we are responsible for our individual actions.

Ladies, there is never a reason for a man to lower himself to a beast and put his hands, head, or feet on someone who is clearly weaker than he is. This is cowardly, savage, and a behavior engaged in by individual choice. No one is to blame but the coward who does this. There is nothing worse than a man who beats, rapes, and abuses women and children. These are the demons among us. Folks, Ladies, listen…it is hard to imagine how any man can feel comfortable hitting, raping, and/or beating a woman or a child. It is incomprehensible for real men. That is the 100% males in the human species. I don’t care what happened to them in their childhood or their past. I don’t give a damn. it doesn't make to all right for a man to do these things. This behavior is the lowest of the low. It doesn’t get any lower folks. It’s inexcusable and has gone unchecked far too long.

Women bring life to every single one of us and for a man to disrespect himself and stoop to this all-time low, is fucking ABOMINABLE!!!! There is no way a man or woman claiming they are representing the God who is God to treat it any other way but as the abomination that it is. This is a human male flaw and comes simply from being too lazy and weak to practice self-control, show self-respect, self-discipline, and have some sense of self-value, which would keep a man from ever lowering himself to such levels of existence. You see animals don’t behave this way so this kind of behavior is beastly, savage, uncivilized, making it sickening, repugnant, and intolerable in any civilized society. In laymen terms Ladies this kind of behavior is never your fault. NEVER!!!

Niobi	God Bless you my Love!!! I find myself after years of wandering in the dark when I meet and marry Mark. Find what I look for when I left my home searching for more, better. I find my life I find my God. I find peace, I find contentment. I find joy, I find friends, family, and most of all I find Love in my faith. I am proud to be Gnostic.
