I have had this convo with people I love.
Neglecting this part of ourselves is like deciding not to breathe air or quit drinking water. You can do it for a while, but not forever....
Enjoy! This is a great story of redemption:

We all need God in our lives, no matter what we may believe at the time of our rebellion.
I like his testimony at the 13 minute mark where he says he did not understand the Judaism that he had rejected until he understood his relation ship with Christ. Once he got Christ, he got his Judaism - which is just the root of Christianity.
Judaism done right, IS Christianity.
The aha moment of my entire life (other than figuring out that the Prophet of the Restoration was who he purported to be) was eating the bread and wine with my Jewish friend whose tradition preceded Christ's day and was contemporary with Lehi/Nephi and the traditions that came to America and shaped the traditions of the natives here.
Knowing that Christ was just re-instituting that which had become lost, which preceded Moses' day, was a watershed moment for me. Christianity is to Judaism what Mormonism is to Christianity. No good Christian will understand their Christianity fully, until they embrace Mormonism.
Precisely because each phase was just a restoration of what was missing or lost from the previous phase. They key to unlocking your existing situation is to understand what was lost or missing from the previous situation. This is highly metaphorical in life, etc.
Muddying this connection with our past is how the d'evil operates best. If we become disconnected from our past, we have no basis to form a future. If we cannot or have not learned from it, we are doomed to repeat the past mistakes.
Right now (at least until our kids were mercifully cut off from the influence of many of their teachers) were being indoctrinated to reject their "boomer" parents as irrelevant. There were all kinds of cutting remarks about the Boomers going around. This was done on purpose to cause a disconnect between the generations. I have seen it with my own kids. Respect is lost when they realize they have more knowledge in some subject whether it be bio-chem or calculus. The whole boomer thing has largely to do with technology and whether the kids know more about the function of their phones, than the antique parents do.
With the intergenerational disconnect, the programming can go forth that the old history was wrong (the Boomers are too out of touch, etc etc) and a "new history" can be introduced to the kids. Moral relativism can be injected here, as well. With the new morality, the generation declines. This is what has happened with the rainbow generation. The entire generation is lost - because they believe that what their parents taught them was hateful and short-sighted. So.... we have to let it fail.
Next time around, we cannot let it get to this point. In the Millennium, there will be no more PC world. We will say it like it is. Those that have been tainted, likely will not go forward. Just as God shut up the Ark and it stayed the opinion of that generation, so will this generation not be allowed to avoid the fire so that those going forward into the next phase will not carry the "infectious agents" of moral relativism with them.
If you harbor any of this - and would like to make it through the fire - repent of it right now and align yourself with God and His servants on this earth. Otherwise, you will not pass the portal into the next phase. The sentinels will detect what you are about; and the door will be shut to those who never knew Him. It is THAT simple.
