The board was made up of rich doctors and their wives. They objected b/c we were unemployed. We both volunteered our services for 40 hours of unpaid labor in lieu of dues.
I have a Juris Doctor and my husband has a B.S. and M.S. in Physics.
The rabbi wanted us to convert, but I did not want to attend where I was not wanted by the board. I did not want charity.I wanted a job so I could pay my bills.
The board members were baffled because they "had never seen a couple where BOTH wanted to convert."
I don't get it.
I left xtianity b/c I made the mistake of taking their opinion of me seriously. I got the strength and self-esteem to leave. Their preachers bellowing about original sin, hellfire and brimstone drove me to the edge. I wanted to crawl in a hole and die after every sermon of this hateful, abusive, unearned shame-based soul-destroying belief system that gets a pass.
I had to leave.
Not to mention all the inconsistent and hateful stuff Jesus allegedly said, when he didn't exist historical. xtianity is a deeply superstitious, bloodthirsty syncretic pagan mystery cult based in ritual cannibalism.
