My Testimony:
Jesus was a man, not the son of God. He affects my life because I have to listen to Christians spout propaganda on a daily basis and ask for money so that they can build more churches.
Thank you,
The Talking Donkey.

I already gave it once tonight already but I will try to shorten it.
My mother put me in a convent as a baby and I was raised by nuns until 5. Then she married and I had a step father that I adored until one day he molested me. After that I got on drugs, experiemented in the occult and ran away from home a number of times hitchhiking rides during the Hippy era of the late 60's and early 70's. At 19 I married an alcoholic who was abusive and we had three kids together, At 24 I had a profound, life changing encounter with Jesus while reading a book written by Catherine Marshall, when I was sick. (Oh yes, I forgot to mention that from the age of 18 up until a few years ago I had CFIDS.)
I started going to church and was baptized and my life changed drastically. My husband became more abusive so I divorced him at the age of 30. I went to colledge for two years, still sick and went from job to job, raising three kids with the help of my mother. I fell away from Jesus a few times because I got busy with worldly things and involved in worldly relationships.
Finally I came to my senses and have been on the straight and narrow path for the last 10 years. I was also healed of the CFIDS and I am an artist making a living from the art. I have two grandchildren, have never re married and live a quiete life.
The Lord had healed all the issues that I had with my parents and I forgave them years ago before they died. I haven't used drugs since way back when I first met the Lord. If it weren't for Jesus, I know I would have ended up as an old bar-fly, bitter and cynical hating and blaming everyone for the hard life I had. But the joy of the Lord is my strength! And He has never left me or forsaken me, even when I screwed up. He taught me how to forgive and release my troubles to Him. My life would have been hundreds of times worse and I might have even killed myself if it had not been for Jesus. He is my Rock and my Salvation.
Now I help any young women who are in simular circumstances that I was in. I also help some elderly women, doing thier shopping and helping them with chores around the house. I babysit my grandkids while thier parents are at work. My life is full and meaningful, with God's love and grace.

jesus touched me.. i still think about sometimes, but the flashbacks are getting less often.. sometimes a daze aimlessly for hours reliving the expierience... I was 12 years old and he was my mailman.. years of therapy could not fix the mess he has made of my life..
also.. be nice to everyone, even if their not Christian. I think thats what jesus said wasn't it. I think if he did come back he'd be pissed off at the state of that church..
muslims don't hate you, it would be against the Koran. You hate them and think they should die.
I think Jesus was an incredible person.. But I'm responsible for whatever I do.

Everything changed. Things I thought I understood, I became unsure of. Things I didn't understand, began to become clear to me. I found a safe harbor. I began to lose my fears. That was years ago, and it it still an ongoing process. But every good thing that has come into my life from then on, has come from Him. And He has given me the strength to overcome adversity and draw closer to Him because of it.

I grew up in a Christian household but I never truly got saved until I was a freshman in college when my aunt invited me to her church one day. I liked it from the get-go and went to that same church ever since. A year later going into my sophomore year of college, I got saved. My parents told me about the Bible and stuff but they never told me about "getting saved" because they wanted me to "find my own path" and not shove it down my throat, so to speak.

Since then, I've been trying to find ways to serve the Lord and found my calling in a greeter's ministry (we greet people coming in to church). I hope to write Christian themed novels someday that would go to the mainstream audience (like the Left Behind series but not with the sci-fi stuff).
