Help! I am an Old Maid and Only One Man Will Take Me.

Re: help

You're 17 and not married yet? You should feel honored that a Godly man will have you. You're a little long in the tooth. You need to start producing Soldiers for Christ ASAP. Stop your whining and start obeying God, your future husband, and your parents! Glory!

the legal age is 16 with parental consent.
i'm not spending the rest of my life with him. i don't like him, i don't think he likes me that much either. i think he only likes me because i'm "pretty".
the wedding's been set for July, so it's going to be fast. I'm not doing it. I will not walk down that aisle.
and producing soldiers? i don't even want to think about that!!! i'm scared of that the most!

Tell us your favorite Bible verse, Helen. How has Jesus blessed you this day?

[Helen MacGowan]

my name is Helen and i'm 17, i live in st johns, newfoundland and my family are all baptists, but i'm starting to question this since i'm now being forced into a marriage to a guy that's nearly twice my age.
he's 30 and he's already been married, but his wife died of cancer a couple years ago, and i feel bad for her and stuff, but i don't like him.
he's a totaly jerk, i've only met him once and he's loud, obnoxious, full of himself, and just an all around jerk. He looks at me like i'm his and that i'm an object and i just don't like that. now i'm being forced to marry him.
all my friends at school are looking at colleges and stuff and i'm being forced to marry. i dont want to, especially not to him. i'm only 17, i've never been out of newfoundland and i simply can't stand him.
my friends parents have offered to take me in, but i'm scared that if i run away, they'd come after me.
i'm only a year away from graduating high school and now i'm going to have to spending the rest of my life cleaning and cooking for this sad excuse of a man. i hate him. i really do. i didn't like him when i met him and now that i have to marry him, i hate him even more.
