Yesterday in the car I was driving to church with my 10 and 8 year old children to my new church. I used this time to do some anti-missionary work, but my kids are too smart already!
I was explaining how I wasn't "worthy" at Daddy's church to see them get married in the temple and that most Mormons now believe I will not be with my family in heaven (even though I am still a faithful Christian).
My daughter told me she's never getting married in the temple if I can't be there and my son said God would not be that cruel to not let families be together just because we go to different churches.
Later that night my husband tells my daughter that a friend from his church "misses her and wants her to come back". I reminded my daughter that she sees her friend every day at school and she's just saying it to reactivate her. I told my daughter it's her choice and no one else's!
Now that I actually give my children real choices (instead of artificial ones) they are easily seeing the mess of Mormonism.
Even if my children choose not to go to church when they are older, it would be so much better than being TBM.
