• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I do apologize for the oddness of this question. When I was nine I was raped. I wont go into details as they are quite graphic. I tried to hide the memories with alcohol and pot. I just recently found my faith in christ. Now I need to know. Am I still a virgin in gods eyes? I just feel so dirty. :x im getting past it it slowly...

You're still a virgin darling. Virginity is a matter of will and intention; you didn't give something willingly, you had it taken from you. That makes your rapist a rapist, and you a survivor, NOT something dirty. It's your rapist who's dirty.

YOU are CLEAN. You are not to blame and it wasn't your will. Even if it felt good (sometimes it does, not sure if that was the case with you), it STILL was not your will. A 9-year-old doesn't yet have the faculties to willingly submit to sexual activity, that's why we have statutory rape laws. God sees the heart and knows the true intentions of all His human children.

If you haven't yet, get into therapy and start your journey to recovery -- sooner or later, you'll realise the truth and it will set you free. Much love to you.

Thanks I feel a bit better in those regards. However im still in mental hell.. What if he went on to rape more... I don't remember his face as I was drugged up and didn't see him, all I remember is blacking out and feeling pain...I hate this world I truly do... between all my mental stress and my good 'christian' family telling me ill be going to hell because of who I love. I quit. No longer will I hold hope for a better world when people justify hate and misery in the name of god.

Ill probably not be returning as im not allowed to promote myself as im once again called a sinner for being in love.

Just remember something so called holy people. Will you disown your child for being gay/transgender?
Can you choose who you love? When a child comes out only to be told they will be exorsized of demons.. to be told that they are an abomination and you find them hanging from a rope in their room. Can you call yourself a good christian and good parent?

No this isn't directed at any person in particular. Just people need to think before they spout hate in the name of god when in reality they know less about their god than the person they condemn.

Im out. Goodbye
im in therapy for it now.
godbless you all. Im serious. Jesus loves everyone. His people...not so much

Mind if I know what brought you to that conclusion? What verses did you use?
