But if you join at a young age you have plenty of time to change your life and make up for your past. I joined when I was twenty-six. Sometimes I wonder what would have happened to me if I hadn't joined our church. I can imagine many tragic things happening in my family, a divorce or some such thing. But because of our True Parents and the Divine Principle we know about the importance of the family.
Some people have lovers or mistresses which causes all kinds of problems in their family.
True Parents taught us to change this and lead a good family life. When we don't have a good family our children suffer. Children always suffer when their parents divorce. This could be prevented in our families because we joined the church. Another important point is that you don't know how long you would have lived if you hadn't joined our church.
