Becka, does your family reject and shun you for leaving the Mormon's?Uh, I don't think she was a Mormon. They tried to convert her at the mall - that's why she's running.
Right on, TT, I'm an Anglican, always have been, just like everyone else in my family, but in the meantime, nobody in my family would shun me if I turned my back on the Anglican church. Not even my grandmother, who's a staunch Anglican who has nothing good to say about any other faith. You should hear what she has to say about my uncle's Catholic wife. No, there would certainly be no shunning my family for a conversion to another faith, not at all, except for my grandmother, we're all very accepting of other faiths, as long as nobody is harmed by following another church.
The point was, I did have an encounter with a proselytizing minority religion - the Mormons - and I did feel very violated afterwards. They didn't directly say anything against my faith and my belief system, but I could hear the contempt in their voices when I said that I'm an Anglican. How do you get recruits when you talk down to a person's belief system?? I felt like they'd attacked everything I'd ever known and my family for teaching me these things, and I didn't like it at all.
