My parents were an alcoholic and constant finding nondrinker here in my mind outlining my mom and sister. Thankfully moment during never be sure that there was already that was both physically and verbally when my sister was nine years old I was seven and her little sister was one is dramatic change in our family we didn't know what time my dad became very religious suddenly quit drinking into this church on Sundays. Almost every night.
We also took turns holding Bible studies on those nights when there was no church service we were allowed to wear slacks, shorts or anything except dresses that reach below the knee.
Mom can cut her hair but had to work on. She also wasn't allowed to wear any makeup or our church sermons were often about hellfire and brimstone in the fact that you had to get saved to avoid going as a seven-year-old girl.
I was terrified and suffered from insomnia. I was convinced I would dine my wake up and help to make matters worse, I was sure that Jesus will save me every single time was an altar call at church I would rush down to the front as fast as my legs. I would then get on my knees and veggies same then well-meaning ladies surround tell me that I had to speak in tongues, they would hold my arms up in the air and prayed that the buyer they said that simply asking Jesus come into my heart, forgive me of my sins was not an I desperately try to speak in tongues, but it didn't happen. I saw others rolling on tongues.
At least one of them I knew to be in a liar. Therefore, my seven-year-old mind reason that for some reason God went. He even saved some of the stolen line went save me the time I left that church and I felt totally reject.
I decided that he didn't want me, my mom right now with our neighbor Johnny mom and Johnny told us we were going to watch my dad want to go Johnny's car. We didn't know mind that I later learned instantly went from ultrareligious no religion at all. We did attend a Baptist church once in a while in which there ice cream socials moms the relationship only lasted two years and then we went back to California.
Mom began drinking many nights so my two sisters and I were pretty much on our own. I was very angry.
God want anything, or religion are two neighborly lots of interest.
Alcohol 13, I left Mexico with a 20-year-old marriage lasted here when I try to file for divorce. I learned that the marriage had never been filed in United date so I wasn't legally married at all married again when I was 18, we moved to my husband's hometown of Pennsylvania and through a series of events ended up in Salt Lake City, Utah. My husband began cheating on me shortly after we were married. We had numerous affairs your marriage. Although the marriage was unhappy. I will always be thankful for our two wonderful sons Rob during the last year of our marriage I went to work as a cocktail waitress in a private club became involved with the club owner booty, who was also married. We both divorced our spouses and began living together. We lived together for six years before getting married. Booty was an inactive Mormon who really didn't know much about what the Mormon church taught but was absolutely sure that it was the true church, and if anyone said anything negative about the Mormon church.
He would defendant vehemently although I didn't want anything to do with God living in Utah put a lot of pressure on the kids to fit in. He convinced me that the boy should get involved with sports.
The Mormon church had a basketball team and hosted Boy Scouts so the boys became active in the Mormon church. The Mormon missionaries began visiting our home to their Rob and Steve for baptism into the church. Some of the things the missionary said to the boys bothered me because they didn't line up with what little I remembered about the Bible. I would ask questions that they couldn't answer. However, they taught that hell was a temporary place to get out of by having a Mormon pray for you. It was very appealing to me because I was convinced I was going to hell. I asked him to show me the Bible were taught that they did nowhere. But it was in their and they told me to take the book of Mormon read and pray about that.
I would get a good feeling and would let me know what was true.
Thank God I didn't get the warm feeling I might have been. They decided I was being difficult so they invited the local Bishop to come over to talk to me. He couldn't answer my questions either and told me I was.
I actually cried because I so desperately wanted to prove to me that the temporary help. We but I let the boys get baptized into the church anyway. That one church was as good as another. They did teach good moral values. The boys out of trouble and now they fit in with the Mormon you know what could it hurt. I began working for Medicare in 1982 in 1985. A lady named Glenn. He came to work as the manager of my department as most people in Utah do that. She asked me if I was Mormon.
I said no, but my husband and kids are. This was usually an answer that satisfy people that there was hope for me to Glenny's done to me by asking why would you be and why she said why would you let your kids go to that church.
I gave her my standard reasons. They teach good moral values. They have a wonderful sports programs they belong to the scouts, etc. Glenny asked me if I realize the Mormon church was occult.
Of course I said I didn't believe it was occult. Glenny began to give me information every day to show me the various aberrant teachings of the Mormon church. She also backed up her allegations with actual literature from the Mormon church. Each night I would try to discuss what I was learning with bogey but he absolutely would not listen. I would try to show him the literature, but he said he didn't need to look at it because he knew that the church was true.
He said that Glenny was a troublemaker and I should stay away from everybody year Glenny to be with me.
They God was devastated. There's no way my husband and kids believe that they can become God. I would know that I was very defensive because deep down I knew she would bring what she was saying was true storing up the next day she brought me the LDS book called the gospel principles it explained the law of eternal progression to God, my heart, I felt that I let my kids get the Mormon church and didn't know how I would ever get them relations but I had hopes that my sons would someday I would hope that night to confront my husband with a rum and coke in one hand and a cigarette in the other. I said to bogey you got my kids into occult and you think you can become God. Needless to say, that didn't go over well.
He looked at me incredulously and said you talking about. He went on to tell me that he had never heard such a thing, and I needed to stay away from that crazy lady, my 17-year-old son Rob got home I asked him if he thought he could become God. I will never forget how my heart sank when he looked at me, hands on his hip and arrogantly said like I said I wanted to go to Bible study and do a comparison between Mormonism and the Bible. Bogey and Rob said they would absolutely not to go to any Bible study because they knew that the Mormon church was the true church. Surprisingly, my 14-year-old son Steve said I'll go with.
I later learned that a few weeks prior to this conversation down the middle of the night with some other friends.
One of the Fred's sister's car and taken for joyride.
He was sitting in the very back of the hatchback with one of the girls that he could move up to the back seat and she would sit on his lap second later the car was rear-ended. He knew he would kill. He said he heard an audible if you had died.
This was a kid who didn't even believe in him, so it should. What I mentioned Bible study he was ready.
Bogey was adamant that Glenny was wrong in the Mormon church didn't teach that men can become God used look at any evidence he said he would ask the Mormon teachers visiting teachers came to visit bogey was extremely upset when they confirm that they believe that they can become God eventually got church during a Tuesday night user were so impressed with the lovely were shown by the young boys in the group.
Steve gave his heart the following week and evangelist church and preached every night for when the altar call when the evangelist stood up and started pulling me down the remember thinking that God might knew he would save me. I repeated the sinners prayer, along with all the other night and they asked us to follow the counselors down to the Fellowship Hall will be given information, I thought, here we go. Now they going to tell us we have to speak in tongues.
When I was pleasantly apprised, but I still didn't believe I was saved two weeks later, it dawned on me that I've been going to sleep every night.
The insomnia I had suffered with since childhood was finally gone.
I realize that God night at the altar. I finally began to trust him for salvation change so dramatically that everyone in my life changed dramatically. Later that year, both my sisters and their husbands bogey's oldest daughter Robin Steve's wives and children have all been saved. We have also seen many of our friends the Lord. I know this is been a long testimony, but believe it or not I actually shortened a lot. Thank you so much for motivating me to tell you this and write it down.
