3 months ago i was walking around the city through a busy area near restaurants, food places and bars.

I was walking on the street like everyone else until a car came and blocked the way and i was forced to stop and go into the sidewalk because there was a very massive person getting down the car, who wanted to go into one of the restaurants.

There was people on the sidewalk infront of the area of the restaurant with the chairs and tables outside. I went into the side walk and there was two ladies just standing there and i was minding my business on my phone and one of the ladies said “hey, im sorry” and i thought she was apologising for the “inconvenience” and i said proudly “its okay!” And went back to my phone 🤣. i thought she associated with someone from the car like some worker or bodyguard idk lol.

So she asked again something like “can i show uou something” “do you know the bible” and she shows me a few verses and one of them was about the Shabbat and also the Ten Commandments and i said oh Sunday and she shows me the ten commandments.

Again and she was telling me its on Saturday and i got a bit traumatised after she came close and opened her eyes a bit wider and came a bit closer and said “you need to respect the SHABBAT”

Im not gonna lie that scared me a bit but besides that she was very nice and we exchanged WhatsApp… VERY bad mistake.

I called my sister and told her the “church” the lady had on her tote bag and my sister googled it and told me its a cult but im so d#mb and bored that i didnt listen to her when she told me to block that lady and i will regret that for a very long time. I should have listened to my sister

I went to a couple bible studies and the second one i found out about their fake christ.

I was shocked and worried but i felt like i couldn’t get away so i just kept going. Its been 5-6 bible studies so far. By the way i went behind my mom’s back and I am 16. I didn’t believe all the cr4p these people told me because while i haven’t read the bible whole, i know enough to not believe crazy stuff. BCS ITS LIKE LITERALLY CRAZY.

The cult ladies told me that prayer are listening to them and because there is people that don’t know the bible and didn’t grow in a Christian household like i got to, they are being lied to and i felt like i have to do something like be a whistleblower.

Now im dragged in this and it is my fault. But on judgement day or redemption day when God judges me and goes through my life, he will see how I could have done something to save or try to save this people these cult members are lying to and I feel responsible for them going to hell now.

My mom is worried they will be out to get me or run me over with a car, if i don’t block them. BUT IM LITERALLY SCARED TO BLOCK THAT LADY.

Im sorry for the long text but i dont know what to do and if someone can give me valuable advice i will appreciate it.
Please help 😭😭😭😭😭

We had a trial lesson, then i scheduled a lesson then the lesson came and he didn’t show up and i was in the class for 15 minutes waiting, then i asked him if he was going to show up and if everything was okay. He rescheduled it but didn’t respond to my message, and on the reason of rescheduling he put personal emergency (which is okay anyone can have that happens) like 5 minutes. He rescheduled to the 12th of August (today) and was suspecting he was going to “ditch” me again and i waited for 15 minutes, nothing.
Message delivered, and i don’t know what’s happening im kinda worried. I wanted to see if he i can schedule other lessons because i bought 8 lessons a month and saw he has no lessons for the next THREE weeks…I don’t know what’s going on, i just hope he is okay but at this point i don’t know.

Hi! I have posted a few times before.
I am curious to know how you came to Christ and to know the different testimonies people have on here!

I have posted on here like 4 times talking about my difficult situation at home with protestant parents and their reactions when i said i want to go to a different church.

We had a big fight two months ago after i decided to break the ice and they were very angry.
(Sorry for the long text)

This week i was crying outside on a bench because i have to make a difficult decision about changing schools because of toxic environment. I am very used to this environment and while i have met very mean people i have also met very good people that i wont have if i change schools. I also told her things that happened in school and how I felt very hurt and alone. My mom was hugging me super caring and loving until i told her another thing that is also upsetting me and i told her about church. She turned super mean afterwards

I wasn’t vibing with her behaviour towards me and she wanted to make me feel guilty, so we were walking back home and she wasn’t talking to me at all (the complete opposite to when we were in the bench) and she walked straight the street while i made the turn to go to our house, and she did that on purpose to make me feel horrible after.

When she wasn’t looking i went to another sidewalk and i ran away to the playground where i stayed 20 minutes or more thinking about everything. I was thinking of sleeping there but i thought that would cross the line and i went on a bench and she came because she has my phone location.

She prior to that talked to my dad and told him about the Church thing knowing how aggressive he can get. When i went back home he talked to me and i didn’t want to but i listened to everything he had to say.

Today my father told me a very interesting dream,
A woman with white/ gray short hair came to him and said “this phone is for your youngest daughter, im so sorry” and she pased out in his arms after. He had this dream two days ago and i was wondering what this could mean.

Guys im not LDS (yet!!! :)) but i recently heard it and idk what this words exactly mean.
Just curious
Hope i don’t get ghosted

Im 16 and i want to go to my local congregation but my parents don’t allow me, my family is Protestant.

My Father has trauma bcs since he was born in a certain time where the government in his birth country, they had to hide bibles, hidden churches, ab*se in school and more things because of his faith.

He felt very hurt almost like he stopped loving me in that moment, also said he failed as a parent. When I told him i want to go to LDS church, he said he was very disappointed in me and also: “when I was younger they followed us for our faith and church , you can do this now freely and yet you choose the mormons”
He thought i was a complete failure, and that he wasted his money if i came out this way. I felt that moment that their love is conditioned.

And the thing is, I learn better when someone explains things to me, and i understand it better. I want to put my phone number to speak to missionaries , but im scared my parents will find out.

I put my parents first most of the time even if they dont but i never rub it in their faces and i always try to step in their shoes to understand how they feel in certain situations. I love my parents and i will never stop loving them and also im going to keep trying to become a better person everyday.

I want to forgive and stop feeling bad and all the time and feel sorry for myself but i can’t. The worse part is that when im ready to forgive the people around me keep messing up worse and they don’t even notice it until i say something and they always find a way to make themselves the victim.
“Why do you get mad it was an accident, you’re so dramatic”
How to get away when its not possible to stop seeing the same people in my daily life?

Hello,
Really want to go to my local congregation but my parents won’t allow it, and I have no other option than understanding them because they are my parents.

Like they don’t understand that their daughter can have other faith and that it’s fine, she isn’t broken and she can still be loved.

Their love towards me depends on wether i am protestant or not, and i have experienced it in a very painful way.

I always pray that my parents understand just like I understood them and how I was there for them when they needed support.

Instead of having patience im becoming a very inpatient person and getting angry at everything every little thing and yell.

I was talking with a guy who is in my religion class in school. His parents put him in there
He doesn’t believe in God and sometimes says concerning things. Today he commited blasphemy against the holy spirit and said the f word to the holy spirit and i am just so shocked and i told him that its a sin and that’s not okay. I didn’t make him feel bad i told him calmly.
