[QUOTE="sparkle123, post: 69224367, member: 376389"] Just wanted to write that I can relate to your story. I was a total hedonist, far left radical, occasional activist, and vented my hostility toward Christians when I could. I also experienced doubt that I could be forgiven for the things I did and encouraged others to do. I harassed pro-life people in person. I am still ashamed of that, and have considered writing to some of the people I harassed (I was part of a group doing this) to ask forgiveness. I guess I am still too cowardly. So I respect your courage to post this. I also want to acknowledge just how nasty the far left can be. I was one of them--the nasty ones. I don't know what you are going through exactly, but I can imagine. When I was part of that world, I felt very morally righteous. Now that I have some perspective I can see how morally bankrupt my associates and I were. It was all adrenaline and ego and attack. I got a little taste of that when I held the wrong opinion on a domestic dispute between a couple (I gave the man some sympathy and didn't buy into all the accusations just because a woman made them--you don't do that as a radical feminist!). Ugly. And I didn't experience near the level of what you have. So I feel for you. I will pray that you find comfort and the ability to forgive those who have persecuted you. I think these big personal upheavals and life-rocking conversions are a great testimony, as difficult as they are. There is room for deep repentance. This is what I have come to believe for myself. Maybe you will always feel a distaste for the feminists who trashed your name. It would be understandable. I am not a big fan of political radicals these days; I think they are part of a destructive force. But I am grateful I was saved from all of that. I believe you can do something with this that helps others. As a writer maybe you can use the experience. I have read a few conversion memoirs lately that have helped me. Maybe it will be something different. Whatever the case, I believe that God is using you and will use you and that all that you have lost is simply an emptying. You will be filled and it will be better. I pray this for you! Similarly, I think that you will find forgiveness. Be patient and gentle with yourself. I have harbored a lot of hate and resentment. I know it lessens overtime when I confess it, pray, and work on it. Alright, I've said enough. Glad you are here! [/QUOTE]
