Emily, I also see where Rachel is coming from. You have to report that low-life. You have too. For your good, for the good of others. Report his butt. And please, try to accept the love we show you. It can make all the difference to let brothers and sisters in Christ love you. For in that, we may show you something of God's extravagant, abundant, scandalous love. God is love but He works through His people to support, challenge and encourage us.

I love you and I feel for you.
But I am angry.
I know I spoke to you about this before and requested you to do that many, many times, but you didn't report this man.
When you have laws and measures put in place to protect yourself and you're not doing it -I don't get that thinking behind it.
What does it matter if you're a virgin? If you bring about culture, being Indian origin, you would know that being a virgin is considered morally upright.
And that is immaterial.
Whether you are, or not, no one has the right to try to force themselves upon you.
So what if this man has a family?
This man is possibly a psycho. The BTK killer had a wife, and so did the Ether man.
By not reporting or bringing these things out in light, you might be letting a psychologically impaired rapist get away scot free.
Who else has he possibly tried to harm? Think about that!
And even if you lose this job, big deal. If your workplace is so hazardous, get up and leave.
I am sorry I am being harsh, but I hope I am. You keep asking us to pray for you, but you consider our input and concern of so little value, that you just brush it aside?
Not only is it hurtful, it's confusing. I don't understand what's happening in your life Emily, but I don't see how God has abandoned you and you can't overcome it.
All I get is secondhand information, from some other members, praying for you , asking more prayer for you and the back story behind all of it is a hodgepodge mess.
Someone told me your dad owns this company, somewhere else, you say you aren't in touch with your dad, your family wants you to be sexually harassed?
You intend to escape, but you're trapped. Contacting you is through someone else, but you come online a few hours later.
Just what is going on
I am upset. I am angry and I feel my emotions have been taken for a ride.
I love you so much as a sister in Christ.
Sorry.
I hope things work out in the end and God takes care of you. Forgive me , but please understand where I am coming from.

Please allow me to reply. I have not sided either you or Emily. I do understand where you are coming from. We have different level of convictions and strength. Perhaps, Emily was not yet there reaching the depth of your faith. And you were right being transparent to Emily about your feelings. I hope you two can resolve it immediately and the hurt won't linger in your heart. I understand also where Emily is coming from. It wasn't easy to do the right thing when you are torn between protecting self against protecting also the innocent (the third party). You have to do think and pray many times before mastering the courage and adding honor on it. Courage is ok but courage should be backed-up with honor because as a Christian, we are also protecting Christ's body and not only ourselves.
I'm only looking at the little victory and i'm at peace with God on it, then i believe bigger victories follow.
For kicks and giggles, here is my video. Be gentle. I don't want to post it in the music forum because I don't really want it to have its own thread. So I force it upon you here. Lyrics are in the description. Sorry not sorry I'm a dork.

This is a beautifully heartfelt song, Rachel. Very powerful. You have a strong singing voice. I like the lyrics too. Some of the best songs are written from pain and a process of healing. Might I add, I'm glad that the sun wasn't moving around during the video. That would've been scary. I want to encourage you, sister. Well done!

I'm very sorry to hear about that. But what he did is wrong, it does affect him, his commitment and family and his workforce. Most importantly, it's hurting you. I know it's hard, but would you rather have people go ahead and talk while you may in fact have done something that will get you and others out of harm's way or let him continue on with his behavior and have the possibility of eventually harming you in a physical way? People are stupid, they will believe anything they hear, let them since it shows their stupidity anyway. The right thing won't always gain approval. Plus, if you do go ahead and report it and he gets fired, his wife is going to have to know why anyway and she'll see who she even married and save the family's heartache. It's up to you, but I think you need to actually think about it and see the long-term effects of each. Good luck on however the outcome of it will be and take care.
I am making a batch of something called (I kid you not) "slutty brownies," a layer of chocolate chip cookie dough, then Oreos, then brownie batter over the top. From the bottom up, it's supposed to be cookie layer, chocolate wafer layer, creme filling layer, chocolate wafer layer, brownie layer.
It's very decadent and the gal who made up the recipe says you should eat it while watching trash TV. She recommends "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills." I don't know about that. Tonight was the first TV watching I've done in I don't know how many weeks.
Anyway, I promised the kid I would make them to pack in her lunch. The rest I will take to work.
