Knowing through study that there is a definitive day and time for Yah coming for His Family, do any of you have a opposite view of life in general compared to those around you, family, friends, etc? My wife and I have 6 children and knowing the day and time of Yahs return has actually made us more relaxed on topics such as education with our children, where we should live and raise our children, what our children should learn, etc. I feel much more relaxed and have less anxiety over the topic of the last days and what is all to happen to me and my family.
As a former Mormons we had views of pushing education and having the children obtain the highest levels of knowledge possible while here upon the earth. I am not stressed anymore about what their level of reading, writing and arithmetic are. This does not mean that I do no care, we continue to homeschool and teach those skills, we just do not try to rush or put too much emphasis on any one subject.
The most important subject is Yah and knowing him and discussing His Towrah. We also discuss our time in the Mormon and Christian lifestyles and how religion is wrong, along with politics, militarism and most socially accepted ways of life nowadays.
I am probably rambling but I wanted to reach out and find other parents who feel and are possibly practicing developing a relationship with Yah over education, finding a career, making more money, etc, the common ways of life we have grown up with and accepted as truth. I feel much more at peace and can actually enjoy my children much more. I do not feel guilty to actually have fun in life, to explore, learn, question and challenge and teach our children the same.
I have noticed that much of the things religion touts as sin and as things to stay away from are nowhere mentioned in the Towrah. If I use foul language whether by myself or around my children, I am not sinning nor am I going to hell. I have discussed this with my children and the fact that most religious people are very sensitive to foul language, including most of our extended families.
I have never heard my children repeat this language but it would not shock me if they did. For all I know religion was the vehicle to condition people to actually label particular words as "offensive" or "foul".
Would love to hear from others who have a whole different outlook on the next 10 years or so while waiting for Dad to come get us. We talk about it a lot with our children and they seem excited about it. At least I hope so cause I am.
