So, I want to formally introduce myself to the community, and say that I ask for some help as far as the traditions and such goes.

I'm Alex, I'm 18 years old, and I was a Christian for one year, I am lucky that I always seek answers even if I was constantly discredited. I was brought into the "faith" by my brother, we used to go to "church" every weekend, and there is no doubt that our relationship will be effected by this, but truth will prevail. I will be graduating from high school in March, from there I'm going to move out in August and go to college, hopefully getting a job to support myself.

I have heard the message and I do believe this, needless to say I will be observing and learning from the instructions set-forth, as I would like to find some answers and have the camp out with Yah.

As I was writing this, my brother just called; he wants to come down tomorrow, I know he will ask to go to church and I'm not sure what I should do, I'm really just beginning to read the texts put out, there are a lot, so it might take me awhile. I want to know what I should do for the Sabbat and if there was some recommended materials. I ask this because no doubt sparks are going to fly tomorrow and I don't want to get upset.

Thank-you.

The unbelievable truth that is spoken, I have no idea how it could be not understood. Not only what Yah is saying makes sense, it shows through evidence and reason. After reading just a few pages, doing some research, I am fully and extremely disgusted in people, world, government, politics, religion, and everything that has to do with man.. I am so sick, I can't stand it. People murder each other, in the name of a fictional god, then teach others to do so, crusades all the way up to now and the ending of this world, it's disgusting, I MEAN SICKENING. I had questions, but everyone says "satan is tempting you" and I was like, why wouldn't Yah want me to learn what I can. When I read the parts and say the errors, it was irrefutable, I couldn't go back. Now I see a light at the end of the tunnel, its as if I'm not looking as if I was in the world, or as if I was looking at the world. It's insane, not only am I trying to learn Hebrew I am so motivated, I want to be able to camp out with Yah so much, to have that time, and I will have it and until then I cannot wait!
I thank Yada for giving me the mere tools to begin my journey with the one and only Yah. Thank-you.

Jocie, I think it was you I heard on BTR on the Shabbat broadcast - Nov 9, 2012, with Larry. It is nice to hear actual voices of some the the members here.
The BTR does go for 2 hours; your conversation with Steve and Larry was live when you thought you were off the air.

I've been reading Yada Yah for 5 years now -- amazing study! I keep on sending the Intro to God to every pastor in town, and out of town, too.

Nice to have you as a brother, Alex.

As others have written above, dealing with family members can be heart-breaking and frustrating. My youngest son is a relatively new Baptist youth pastor, who resigned from the Marines after a decorated 9-year stint when they wouldn't allow him to go to seminary to become a chaplain. He responded a couple of weeks ago to an email I sent to some of the other brothers in Yah and copied him on. James and some of the others tried reasoning with him through email and it was, so far, all for naught.

That is a hair-pulling frustration, let me tell you. But you can only do what you can do. It is the responsibility of each individual to make the right choice in this matter. So don't give up. Don't ever give up. And we'll see you at the campsite!

@ Alex, this is added after I posted.

Listening to todays show on GCN reminded me that I should remind you, there are terms and conditions to coming to being in Yahs family. I have copied and pasted these from FF's website in the Festival section of his Articles.
These are:
The Five Conditions of the Covenant
1.Walk away from Babylon, from corruption, from confusion, from country, from politics, from patriotism, from religion, from one's earthly family.
2.Trust and rely on Yahowah which requires us to know Him and understand what He is offering by observing His Towrah.
3.Walk to Yahowah and become perfect, which is achieved by accepting Yah's 7 Invitations (His 7 Feasts).
4.Observe the Covenant, coming to know and understand its Terms and Benefits so that we can respond appropriately.
5.As parents we are to circumcise our sons, serving as a sign that we are committed to teaching them the Towrah and raising them to become part of Yah's family.




If you accept Yahs plan in His Covenant, Alex, then yes, you're in His Covenant. You have learned it's Him providing, and you are listening to His instructions and His teachings. Sure, get on with the next festival of Passover and Matsah where you step through the door that was clearly marked, "alert" pay attention to this and enter into eternity. Passover shows you and all those that know you, that you have accepted Gods plan to save. Not one second will pass as one ends (Passover) and the next begins, (Matsah) where you will begin that journey, of bettering your understanding of Yahs will. This day of Unleaven will be played out in your life from this point forward as representing 7 days, that actually represent completeness. The following day, the 3rd day is of course what you will come to see as your day you vocalize your joy out loud by becoming His 1st Fruits and you will begin a journey of ripening in the fullness of your Father/Yah.
Myself, I will never know a smidgen to what Yada has forgotten. And it's why I remind people to read. Even if your alone, read. Use Yahowahs Name, it's proper and good to do so and when you're comfortable with it, and to me that's when you have accepted His plan, start calling Him, Father. You have chosen His means and want to be adopted, and thus, you will be. You'll not receive a formal recognition of this, except you will feel it in your soul and you'll know. It's His perfect plan, and few there will be that will accept it. You have knocked on His door and He's not telling you, "hold on, be there in a second," no, He answered as soon as you knocked, brother.
By changing your perception on who He is, and knowing it's Him that is doing all the work, you now can relax and start sharing what you learn, but you can also learn from what a lot from these in this forum have said many times, "learn at your pace." Understanding is essential, and will help you expand Yahowahs Family with you life being His testimony. Welcome!

I see why he was angry we bonded over church he lost his fiance and I had cancer and that was a place of comfort. They shared our story up on there stage two weeks ago, my brother has been cool now but a spark will tick him off.

Thanks, I really apperciate all of it, I wish I had the paper needed to complete some packets. The ink cartirage is out, they're expensive.
But I also wanted to touch on the moving thing, I am moving next year, as of now we don't have any plans, I'm now just finishing up the last of my 60 hours for a car. I also haven't even graduated yet and it was because I had cancer last year for 8 months, I also lost my job as a waiter and I'm ... Immobile at times.

So is there set dates for all of the call outs? If so can someone supply me with that and a page with the calender, I just want that for reference. If you have any reasons, any archives, any document what so ever that would be benefical, I'd love to read have it, if for whatever reason we can't get it on here because of size, we could do dropbox etc

Thanks.

Thank-you Steve! I have many questions, but I'll look around before I ask them.
