Comments on: KnitWit 167: Freedom http://autumnbreezedesigns.com/blog/2009/07/05/knitwit-167-freedom/ Stories mainly concerning my passions: knitting, spinning, and fiber animals. Occasionally, I will add in general observations on life.

I didn't have the confidence to step forward and report it. I am not proud of myself. At that time in that place, rape by a friend was hard to prove or even to get anyone to listen. Add to that the fact that my reputation was not stellar and he was a missionary. Who would you believe? I never reported it or him. I didn’t have the confidence to step forward and report it.

Add to that the fact that my reputation was not stellar and he was a missionary.

Who would you believe?

Also, I'm concerned about the role of the college. Did they refuse to listen to you? I heard your reassurances in your subsequent podcast, but I am worried about future misdeeds of this missionary.

I do believe that the guy....(have many other words in my mind but I'm trying to be gentle) will get his way back. At given time he'll be in a situation that will be payback time. Not that I wish anyone to get hurt but he deserves to get punished. You on the other hand are a kind person and I think that if I'm wrong and there is a heaven you'll be in it. If it's true and there is a god I'm sure he'll know what happened and will be there for you. I don't know what to say. I know that my heart goes out to you and that it's so sad that in the name off religion so many great but also bad things happen. My dad always says..." when knowing stops, believing starts" and I think it's true. Wishing I could hold you and give a hug and be of comfort and I agree 1000000 times on the things you said. Religion may not be an excuse in any case for doing what you do. I respect all beliefs but being an awfull person and thinking that you can wash it away?? No I don't believe it. Take care carry. sending love and hugs Valeria. I don’t believe you go to hell because off something someone else did and I don’t believe in god or heaven or hell either.
