From Rosie:
About MeRosie was born in Southern CaliforniaCome from large family on both sides of my parents and step parents.I am German and indigenous Mexico descendant.59 years oldHave/ had 2 children,Lost a son, he was sixteen and my mother at a double homicide in 2002.My mother and step father raised me Baptist and non denominational, but went to pentecostal with my neighbor friends.Mom taught me religious biblical texts.As an young 20 year old I started searching for truth. Some sort of religion to save me from abuse I endured at the hands of my step father. My brother and myself had endured to be more exact. My mother was emotionally abused.I went to many other denominations before Jehovahs witnesses.In 1985 I study books and Bible with Jehovahs witnesses. I thought they were decent people and they taught me God hates violence.32 years later, I learned that misogyny, hidden child abuse, domestic violence wS permitted in that organization. Victims were told to not tell anyone of any abuse and bible says you have to stay with abusers.However, for me I escaped 3 times because I didn't agree. I almost died at the hand of my children's father. 1987.Over the years from my 20's, 30's, 40's and early 50's I would leave Jws, go back, leave, go back. .But as of today sine 2019 my journey has stopped completely with Jehovahs Witnesses. The only Journey I have now is freedom from a controlling cult since 2019.I can choose dreams and goals with no guilt if displeasing there god that punishes all who don't conform.I look at our lives, my life as a beautiful flowing river.Each flow of water moves and turns in the bends of a river. Sometimes a river slows or trickles along the way until the next strong rain fall.All the movement in a free flowing river is my life. When a log or large rocks are in the flow of the river, it's my life and the obstacles or change of path that I need to choose to move. Over rocks or large boulders are just what water does, it flows over, around and under to keep moving.My healing journey from childhood abuse and religious abuse was the large boulders in my path of life. At times my river of life did not flow well. It stopped if my decisions were not the best. But once I realized I had to keep moving, nothing could stand in my way. I choose to help others to keep moving on there river of life. That's why I started sharing some of my life on different forms.I love to share kind and caring words to help others. We cannot stop living because others try to suppress who we are.Our lives are beutiful, we have and can have a free flowing spirit within. I have seen in my travels, especially Oregon,...great beauty. And, large rivers make me feel alive. They shimmer in the sun. Life flurishes in a beautiful free flowing body of water.When we recognize in ourselves, " Hey I need to heal," then that person who was in pain releases that block of large boulders from our lives, then the living starts again.Just looking at life in that perspective has Givin me a more renewed sense of loving. Nature in all it's glory can teach us to live again, no matter what part in our life has slowed down, or is trickling slowly....it can come alive again, it will start moving once we can and will decide to journey on and not let obstacles keep us down.Life is to precious to stop living. Leave your logs and rapids and water falls behind. Start your river again, let it shine and let life begin.
