[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 695476, member: 1550"] Wow, GN. Your family was way more religious than mine. I didnt know you went to anything with your first period! I probably would have had to be carried there, kicking and screaming in fright snd defiance. I was embarassed enough when I first got it. My mother stressed virginity a lot such as "why buy the cow if you can get the milk for free?" lol. Remember that one? And I really did want to be good snd different...and everyone I knew was doing it and taking drugs...I refused to do either, but not because of my parents. In fact, my mother didnt trust me and questioned me about these things I never did so I stopped answering and let her think what dhe wanted. I felt bad that my word wasnt taken because I was telling the truth. The only really strict rule my parents stuck to was that i could only date Jewish boys. it was enforced to the point that if I dated a blond Jew, I'd be up half the night with my mother castigating me for dating "gentiles." Eventually, I did. I didn't feel overly connected to Judaism anyway. My parents had horrible fights every Jewish holiday, and I didnt believe the Bible anyway. After I married the first time, a non Jew, I never lived around or identified with Jews again. I still just dont hsve thst feeling that I was ever really Jewish and dont know or live near Jews. I prefer being spititual rather than sign up for any organized religion and the pointless rules (in my opinion) are one reason I left the flock completely. I never understood my mom talking about why traditions mattered, especially like fasting on Yom Kippor. It scared me ito fadt. I was phobic about passing out. Sok I always had a secret stash of food in my room. I saw my diabetic grandmother fast, because she felt guilty if she didnt, and it scared me. My grandma loved me and I loved her so much...it scared me fir her to fast. Something akin to s purity ball would not have happened. to me. I will uld never have cooperated. At a very young age I stuck up for my principles. Goneboy, who is of a very extreme church, claims he and his 35 year old, at the time fiance were both virgins and believes it us a sin to have sexual contact at all before marriage. He believes most Christians are fake. Im glad they didn't have a daughter. There may have been a purity ball in her future. [/QUOTE]
