00:00Previously on Forbidden Love.
00:02La, la, la, la, la.
00:04Sometimes when they're singing, I just kind of like lip-sync.
00:07La, la, la, la, la.
00:08Oh, that's all right.
00:10If you're not going to take this seriously,
00:13I don't want Eli to waste his time.
00:16It makes me wonder, will I ever be good enough for them?
00:20Do your families know that you're pregnant yet?
00:23My family being Amish, I'm considered dead to them.
00:26It is just messed up how his parents can shun him
00:29and take it out on him.
00:30But it's not only him now.
00:32It's their grandchild.
00:34Sad because they're going to miss out
00:35like all those special moments.
00:38Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:39I got this.
00:40Oh my gosh.
00:42The last time I met Krista's parents,
00:45Christopher's father told me that I'd
00:46be damned to hell if I didn't accept Jesus
00:49Christ as my Lord and Savior.
00:51We pray that you bless the food we're about to eat.
00:54Amen.
00:54Amen.
00:55This one there?
00:56You don't include Jesus in that?
00:59No.
01:00I haven't even taken two bites of my food yet,
01:03and they're already questioning me about Islam.
01:06It's just disrespectful.
01:08That's nothing like being saved.
01:12Hi.
01:14When Muhammad is around, everything about her changes.
01:17She's not herself when he's around.
01:18So if she wants to wear booty shorts and a crop top,
01:21you going to be good with that?
01:22I will never, ever let her go outside half naked.
01:25Never, ever.
01:27I was really hoping that my family
01:29was going to work on everything,
01:31but I kind of feel like it's turned
01:32into a complete show.
01:34You don't like me.
01:35That's what I think.
01:36Because you call me, like, terrorist.
01:38Yes.
01:57Open this one.
01:59Oh my god, it is bright.
02:01Good morning.
02:09Ugh.
02:12You're going to get up?
02:13It's too bright.
02:16Well, I don't know what to tell you.
02:18It's time to wake up.
02:21I'm still feeling angry about how last night went down.
02:24I was really hoping that if Muhammad and Jennifer could
02:27sit down together, they would be able to work
02:29through all the problems.
02:31But it turned into a total disaster,
02:33and, like, I don't even know where it went wrong.
02:36I don't.
02:38How do you feel about the party last night?
02:50That was my biggest thing, is I really wanted her
02:52to apologize for that, and she didn't.
02:55So that kind of disappointed me.
02:58I feel like you did pretty well, like, handled how
03:02they were kind of coming at you.
03:04I am really proud of how you didn't lose your cool
03:07and throw a drink on anybody.
03:09So thank you.
03:14I mean, you know that when we're here,
03:17we always try to get all the kids together,
03:18me and my sisters with the kids.
03:20So we're going to do that today.
03:22We're going to go to the farm.
03:27You're coming, right?
03:33Your family didn't, like, I feel I don't
03:35belong in that environment.
03:39But, like, Rosie, she never gets to have,
03:41like, her dad with the rest of her family together.
03:47Like, I don't want her to suffer because of the tension
03:49that you have with my family.
03:52I'll do it for Rose.
03:53But at the same time, I'm not going to put up
03:55Jennifer with her s***.
03:57That's all.
04:00OK, I'm going to go, I'm going to go get ready.
04:04I'm excited, though.
04:05I love going to the farm.
04:13Come on, Rosie.
04:14Come here.
04:15Come along.
04:16I think it's going to be like, where's the car?
04:21Do you have anything in the car?
04:23Sleeve?
04:24No.
04:24It's hot.
04:25It's got your bag.
04:26It's hot.
04:28My boobs are covered.
04:29It's not hot.
04:30The car has AC.
04:31Yeah, but we're going to a farm.
04:33It's outside.
04:35Yesterday, I wore an abaya, and look how that went.
04:38So maybe if I just chill on the traditional clothing
04:41and dress how I normally would dress,
04:43it'll make everybody a little bit more open to talking.
04:46Do you like why your mommy dress?
04:48Say no.
04:49Why didn't you wear your soap?
04:51Well, I figured, like, we're going to, like, see animals.
04:54There's a lot of s*** in the, like, you know, in the ground.
04:57But you want me to wear an abaya that drags
04:59the ground in the animal poop?
05:01Yeah.
05:05OK, it's coming up.
05:07You can see it, right?
05:09That one?
05:09Yeah.
05:10She has a camel.
05:13Interesting that there's a camel.
05:19All right.
05:21All right.
05:21All right.
05:23Today, I want to be the biggest person for Rosie.
05:26But if Jennifer say anything offensive to me,
05:28I'm not going to hold back.
05:31I will curse her ass.
05:32In my culture, women have to respect men.
05:36And I'm not afraid to tell Jennifer that.
05:39Enough is enough.
05:41Hi.
05:41Hey there.
05:43How are you?
05:43What's up?
05:44What's up?
05:45How are you now?
05:46Doing good.
05:47Chillin'.
05:49Hey, man.
05:50Hey, here's a bag for you.
05:51All right, come on.
05:52There's some food.
05:53Rosie, come here.
05:54Come here.
05:54Hey, hey.
05:55These two, these two like the graham crackers.
05:58No, no, no.
05:58Come here, Rosie.
06:00Yeah.
06:01Oh, my gosh.
06:05I left last night, like, still feeling tension
06:08between Muhammad and I.
06:10So like, I just feel like today is going to be awkward.
06:13He said this is the first time he's ever seen a pig in person.
06:15Really?
06:17Big moment for you, huh?
06:18Do you like it?
06:22There's certain things about Muhammad that I don't like.
06:25Like, I don't like that he is so, like, stuck in his ways
06:29and his religion and culture, that he thinks that Ashley
06:32has to, like, do what he says.
06:33But he's not willing to meet her or, like,
06:35our religion or our culture.
06:37OK, yeah, they're getting a little bit aggressive.
06:40I feel like if Muhammad does get a certain tone
06:44or an attitude towards me, then, of course,
06:46I'm going to get defensive back and, like,
06:48get an attitude back.
06:49So we'll see.
06:52Oh, my gosh.
06:55You OK?
06:56No, I'm miserable.
06:58Are you ready?
06:59Yeah.
07:00We're ready to go.
07:01Yeah.
07:02OK.
07:09Since we got here, Jennifer been ignoring me
07:11and ignoring my wife, my daughter.
07:16Yeah.
07:18She obviously has a huge problem with me,
07:20but she's too chicken to talk to me.
07:23Enough is enough.
07:24I'm sick of it.
07:25What's up, Jenny?
07:27Can you talk to me?
07:29OK.
07:30Let's walk a little bit.
07:35While clear, like, Jennifer, she's stubborn, ignorant,
07:38and I need to teach her a lesson.
07:58I got to change.
07:59We got s*** to do.
08:11Babe.
08:12What's up?
08:13You ready?
08:13We're going to go to the gym.
08:14I know.
08:15Get this pump.
08:16Yeah.
08:17Let's do it.
08:18Well, me and Laurie are heading to the gym.
08:20With sobriety comes a lot of other things.
08:22Like, we're very into our health.
08:25It's great therapy.
08:26Kind of gives me that high without getting high.
08:29Oh, yeah.
08:30You know what I'm saying?
08:31Yeah, after years of being a degenerate,
08:32you know, it's good to get back and work out.
08:34Poisoning your body.
08:35Yeah.
08:36So now we're, you know, you got to take care of the body, man.
08:38Yeah.
08:39I'm ready to go when you are.
08:42Before changing my life around, I was
08:44a complete menace to society.
08:49I dropped out of high school when I was 16.
08:52My dad was sending me to Jewish high school,
08:54and I had crazy FOMO on life.
08:58So I abandoned orthodox Judaism for 15 years.
09:02Got covered in tattoos.
09:04Even though it says in the Torah, word for word,
09:06do not tattoo your body.
09:08I started using weed, liquor.
09:11Graduated to heavier stuff later down the line.
09:15Ended me up in the hospital.
09:17Apparently, I was collapsed on the side of the road
09:20from alcohol poisoning and, like, a slight OD
09:22from taking prescription medication.
09:25That was like my last hoorah, I guess you could say.
09:29And I was just done.
09:35So after hitting rock bottom, I came back to Judaism.
09:39I believe that this was all part of God's plan.
09:42That's why my faith is very important, super important.
09:46Now before we go, I know it was our anniversary last week.
09:50Yeah.
09:52What?
09:52I got you a little something.
09:53No.
09:54Yeah.
09:55No, you didn't.
09:56Yeah, I did.
09:56Stop.
09:57What is that?
09:59It's not a ring.
10:00Relax.
10:01But I just wanted to give it to you,
10:04because I know you don't have a star yet.
10:07So I got you a nice little Star of David.
10:13So the Star of David represents Judaism.
10:16I have a Star of David tattooed on my chest.
10:18I have a Star of David tattooed on my arm.
10:19You know, I'm proud to be a Jew.
10:21So here I am.
10:22Is it on the right way?
10:23Yeah.
10:24Let me see.
10:25Yeah, yeah, that's good.
10:25Pick your hair up.
10:26I want Laurie to have this necklace
10:28as a token of appreciation for her converting,
10:30because honestly, I know how difficult it's been for her.
10:35Now you could wear the Star of David,
10:39walk around being a proud Jew.
10:41OK.
10:42I really appreciate the gift.
10:44It's beautiful.
10:45But truthfully, I'm really uncomfortable with wearing
10:49the Star of David right now.
10:51Because I feel like I'm not worthy of wearing it yet.
10:55I have so many hurdles that I need to get over before I
10:59can be officially Jewish.
11:01So wearing this necklace, I feel like I'm jumping the gun.
11:05Let's get this workout in.
11:06Let me grab your skirt.
11:08We'll do the ribbed.
11:11Put that on.
11:14Bring it up so you can't see my midriff.
11:15OK.
11:16Good, you're good.
11:19There you go.
11:19Let's go.
11:21Let's do it.
11:22Six months ago, we moved into a Orthodox neighborhood.
11:26It's kind of frustrating living in this new community.
11:30Let's roll.
11:31Let's roll.
11:32I can't wear just like shorts.
11:34It's weird.
11:36They're all going in the trash, those booty shorts.
11:39That booty is mine, and only mine.
11:42All right, will you stop?
11:43What?
11:44I'm going to lighten up the situation a little bit here.
11:46You're talking like, you know, you're in jail or something.
11:51All right.
11:52You good?
11:53Coming, coming.
11:54Oh, man, it's bright out here.
11:55It's bright, it's hot.
11:56It's hot.
11:57I have to wear this sweatshirt and this skirt.
11:59I know it's annoying, but you can take it off
12:00for when we get there.
12:01It's like a million degrees.
12:03We'll get your door for you, madame.
12:05You know how I sweat?
12:06I sweat like a mother.
12:08Yeah?
12:08Yeah.
12:14It's hot out.
12:15Where's your necklace, dude?
12:16I took it off.
12:18Why'd you take it off?
12:19Because I'm not Jewish.
12:21So I'm not going to wear it just yet.
12:23That makes no sense, dude.
12:24Why?
12:26You're studying, you're doing it.
12:27I mean, you've been doing this shit for a year.
12:29But I just feel stupid wearing it because I'm not Jewish yet.
12:32So I'm stupid for wearing the sardegga?
12:34No, you're Jewish.
12:35I will wear it when I'm there.
12:37So what, the day you go into the mickfle,
12:39you'll put on a sardegga?
12:40Yeah.
12:41So stupid, dude.
12:42That's dumb.
12:46That's not cool.
12:47What do you mean it's not cool?
12:49You just call me dumb.
12:50You call me stupid.
12:51I'm not calling you dumb.
12:52I'm calling what you did was dumb,
12:53what you're thinking is dumb.
12:54I don't think it's dumb at all.
12:55I'm grateful for it.
12:56But I'm just not going to wear it right now.
12:58That's all.
13:01It does hurt me that she doesn't want to wear it.
13:03You know, it makes me feel kind of fucked up.
13:06I thought it was the nice thing to gift.
13:09But at the end of the day, it's about being
13:11proud to be Jewish, you know?
13:13Maybe because I've got so much Jew hatred in my life
13:16that when somebody doesn't want to be proud to wear it,
13:18it bothers me.
13:19It irks me, you know?
13:21To my core.
13:22What do you think?
13:23I'm wearing a kippah on my head all fucking day.
13:25You think people don't look at me like, oh, I'm a fucking Jew?
13:27Happens all the time.
13:28You think I give a fucking no?
13:30Same thing with you.
13:31You can't be ashamed to be Jewish.
13:33I'm not ashamed.
13:34I'm not ashamed.
13:36I'm doing this whole fucking conversion thing.
13:38Look at me.
13:39I'm wearing a fucking skirt and sweatshirt
13:41right now because we're in a Jewish neighborhood.
13:42I respect everything that I'm doing.
13:45There's so much on my plate already with this conversion.
13:48I have to change how I eat, how I dress, giving up holidays,
13:53and wearing a wig.
13:54So wearing this necklace, it's like added pressure.
13:58And it's kind of irritating that he's putting
14:00me in this awkward situation.
14:02We're in a Jewish community.
14:04My block lives around the corner.
14:05The last thing I want to see is you walking
14:07with your ass and titties out.
14:09I can see your tattoos.
14:10That's my arm, bro.
14:11What am I supposed to do?
14:12Cover that shit up.
14:13OK, go get a sweater for me.
14:15Yeah, I'd be happy to.
14:18What are you doing?
14:18What are you doing?
14:19What are you doing?
14:19Here, you want it?
14:20Could you stop?
14:21Here, cover your fucking tattoo.
14:23Put the sweater back on, ma.
14:25Could you stop being like this?
14:26Could you stop being like this?
14:27No, dude.
14:28Could you put on a shirt, please?
14:30Why?
14:30What are you going to do?
14:32I'm not doing this.
14:33Put your sweater back on.
14:34Fuck you.
14:35Jerk.
14:36Fuck him.
14:40All right, babe.
14:42Look what I put together.
14:44I'm going to take Linza to church with my parents.
14:47What is she doing, man?
14:48You're going to walk in, and everybody's
14:50going to be staring at you.
14:51Linza wearing traditional Islamic attire to church
14:55is like a big fuck you to my family.
14:58This could be a total disaster.
15:08Put the sweater back on, ma.
15:09Fuck you.
15:11Jerk.
15:17Fuck.
15:22This whole fucking fight came from a necklace I bought her.
15:24Imagine you go, you buy your girl a new gift, everything,
15:27and then she puts it on and takes it off.
15:28It just fucking hurts.
15:29But if we continue like this with the fighting,
15:32it's going to be ugly, and it's going to be over.
15:35What?
15:46What?
15:47I'm sorry.
15:49I'm taking a walk.
15:56I do feel bad about how everything went down.
15:58If Lori's not comfortable with wearing the Star
16:00of David necklace right now, I'm not going to force her to.
16:02At the end of the day, putting Star of David aside,
16:05I just want her to be able to convert.
16:07And I want her to want to convert.
16:10I don't want this to blow up in our faces.
16:15I'm sorry for getting mad.
16:17Just come back.
16:17Turn around.
16:19I'm sorry.
16:21OK.
16:23Love you.
16:29Here.
16:31Want me to put this sweater on?
16:37Everything's fine.
16:39No, I've been working so hard.
16:41All right.
16:41You know?
16:42All right, I'm sorry.
16:43You don't understand.
16:44I have to change my whole fucking life.
16:46I'm sorry.
16:46I'm sorry.
16:48I love you, babe.
16:51Being Jewish is hard, even for a Jew.
16:53So imagine it's even more hard for somebody that
16:56didn't grow up being Jewish.
16:58Can we go to the car?
16:59OK.
17:01I do appreciate everything she's been doing.
17:06She has been putting in 110% effort on the conversion,
17:10on the process, on everything.
17:11And I love her for that.
17:14Oh, we're here.
17:14Let's go do this.
17:18I have the necklace with me.
17:20Can you put it on me?
17:20Now you want it?
17:21After all that?
17:22I'm proud to be Jewish.
17:24Almost Jewish.
17:26Almost Jewish.
17:26Half Jewish.
17:27OK.
17:28We're always doing this together,
17:30being together for eternity.
17:34No?
17:34I'm not going to waste my time with those schmuck.
17:38See?
17:39Already Jewish.
17:40Using words like schmuck.
17:42Bam.
17:43Good.
17:43Looks good on you.
17:44You ready?
17:45Yeah, I'm ready.
17:46I feel bad because I understand where Eli's coming from,
17:50thinking that I'm embarrassed or not proud of being Jewish,
17:55which is not true at all.
17:56Like, I just didn't want to jump the gun.
17:58I didn't want to, you know, say I'm something
18:01that I'm not just yet.
18:03But as much as I'm giving up, I have
18:06to remember everything that I'm gaining becoming Jewish.
18:10Like family.
18:11I've gained community.
18:13I've gained, I don't know, I've gained God in my life every day.
18:17Yeah, I just, I have so much gratitude.
18:21Come on.
18:22Come on.
18:29How long is church typically?
18:31You can be here all day.
18:32What?
18:42How you feel?
18:43You nervous?
18:44I'm excited more than nervous.
18:47Yeah, for sure.
18:48Pentecostal church.
18:50You know, it might be a little different.
18:51I don't know if you're ready for that.
18:54Somebody might walk by and just pull you out of the crowd
18:57and come up and start, you know, clapping and all of that.
19:01I don't think I'm ready for that.
19:02Yeah.
19:03It may call you up to the front.
19:04What?
19:05Yeah.
19:06No, thank you.
19:10Today is a big day.
19:12I'm going to take Linza to church with my parents.
19:16I'm looking forward to her getting a chance
19:19to experience what an actual Pentecostal church
19:23service looks like.
19:25I want her to understand the fabric of my life
19:29and where I come from.
19:30I'm hoping she gets a chance to see how magical
19:33and how great being in a Pentecostal church is,
19:36so she can see how difficult of a decision
19:38this would be for me to come over to Islam.
19:46All right, babe.
19:47Look what I put together.
19:54Man, what is you doing, man?
19:59Listen, I understand that I don't have to dress like this,
20:03but it's still worship.
20:04It makes me uncomfortable.
20:09I do want to learn more about the Pentecostal religion.
20:12You know, I don't really know much outside
20:14of what I've seen in movies.
20:15But in Islam, women are expected to cover up head to toe
20:21when entering the home of God.
20:23To me, it doesn't make sense to take off garments to go worship.
20:27It's kind of backwards.
20:29You can't wear all of that.
20:30You know, they may look at that like it's being disrespectful.
20:33But I'm not being disrespectful.
20:34I understand that.
20:35But they may take that the wrong way.
20:38I don't want you to go in there basically just stating,
20:40like, hey, I'm Muslim, and, you know,
20:43I'm here to show you guys up or anything like that.
20:46Dang, babe.
20:47All I'm doing is just covering up.
20:49That's it.
20:54You know, it's like you come in basically to say, like, OK,
20:57I'm a Muslim.
20:58This is what I am.
20:59I am Muslim, though.
21:00I understand that.
21:02I just want you to blend in.
21:06Linza wearing traditional Islamic attire to church
21:09is like a big **** for you to wear to church.
21:13This is like denouncing Jesus Christ
21:15and wearing it on your sleeve.
21:17She needs to change.
21:20You know, my dad's going to be there,
21:21and he's going to feel like you're not even
21:24giving it a chance.
21:29Just trust me, please.
21:31Like, listen.
21:32This is actually so cute together, too.
21:34It just looks so well.
21:35It's like, you know, it's like, you know,
21:37it's like, you know, it's like, you know,
21:39it's like, you know, it's like, you know,
21:41it's like, you know, it's like, you know,
21:43it's like, you know, it's like, you know,
21:44it's like, you know, there's a difference.
21:46I'm really nervous about even stepping foot
21:50in church with Linza.
21:51My dad has already turned the pressure up on Linza,
21:54and now we're going to be in the house of the Lord,
21:57and then you add on what she's trying to wear.
21:59This could be a total disaster.
22:08Like, I know deep down he cares and wants to
22:10his family and it hurts him because there's
22:11There's been a few nights where we'll be watching a movie and he'll start crying.
22:15To reach out to his family is really scary for Elmer,
22:20because if he gets rejected again by his family, it's gonna hurt him.
22:24I wanna talk to Elmer, but he's just, he's really bullheaded.
22:29Keep trying, keep trying.
22:41So are you excited for the birthday party today?
22:51Yeah.
22:52Growing up as a kid, Amish kid, you know, we never celebrated birthdays or anything.
22:57Do they tell you happy birthday in the Amish?
22:59Do they at least acknowledge it's your birthday?
23:00Do they even remember the days?
23:02Yeah.
23:03First thing they would do, like in the morning, we would call it the happy birthday joke.
23:09A happy birthday joke?
23:10A joke, yeah.
23:12Like they'd come up and like choke you.
23:13It usually ended up in like a fight or something.
23:16Oh wow.
23:17Because one of them would like choke you too hard and you'd get mad.
23:20Oh my gosh.
23:24Today we're going to meet up with my cousin Wilma and her kids for a birthday party.
23:29Her and her family left the Amish about six or seven years ago.
23:33Are you excited?
23:37In the Amish community, growing up, I never had a birthday party.
23:41I never had a cake.
23:43There's no affection.
23:45There's no celebration.
23:47And so I wish I would have, you know, had this as a kid.
23:50Hey.
23:51Oh, there you are.
23:54Oh, good to see you.
23:57Good to see you.
23:58Hey kiddos.
23:59How you doing?
24:00Hey boy.
24:01I'm Wilma Lambright and Elmer is my cousin.
24:06I grew up Amish and my four boys, they grew up Amish.
24:10And there was a lot of rules and regulations.
24:13And we're not supposed to question.
24:16It was just getting to the point where I can't take these rules no more.
24:21So I left the Amish because I wanted my kids to have a better life than what I had growing up.
24:31Elmer, you ready to go play some games then?
24:33Go on, knock it.
24:34All right.
24:37So have you ever heard of skee-ball before?
24:41You hit the start button.
24:43And it'll drop you the balls.
24:45Ah.
24:48Oh, that was close.
24:50In the Amish, we weren't supposed to play anything like this.
24:53We weren't even supposed to be in a place like this.
24:56But being out here and playing all these games, it's really exciting.
25:01And I'm going to look forward to bringing my kids to enjoy a place like this.
25:10It is neat watching Elmer play with the kids.
25:12He's finally getting to have that fun that he didn't get growing up.
25:16It makes me like, aww, because that gives insight to what he's going to be like as a father.
25:21And I love seeing him, you know, bonding with his family.
25:25I mean, I guess the family that he does have that does associate with him.
25:30Oh, my gosh.
25:31Oh, my goodness.
25:32They're having so much fun.
25:34Look at him go.
25:37Part of me still feels guilty that Elmer isn't close to his family
25:42because to marry someone who isn't Amish, that's like the biggest sin.
25:48No, no, don't go there.
25:51So to be completely disowned by your family over that,
25:56that has to be mentally, like, horrific.
26:02Do you ever miss the Amish life and being back, like, in that community?
26:10Certain things, yes.
26:13I guess my parents, I miss them a lot.
26:17But I usually try, you know, like to go once a month to visit with them.
26:23So they still talk to you and let you see them?
26:28At first, they didn't.
26:30Because if you leave that culture, they believe that you're going to help.
26:36They're finally, in the last year, warmed up to me.
26:40Yeah.
26:43Would they get shunned talking to you?
26:46Yes.
26:47That's why if I have intentions of going out to my parents
26:51and I would see that there's other Amish there, I don't stop.
26:55Yeah.
26:56Because they would run to the bishop and would say,
26:59oh, Wilma stopped out at her parents' house and they talked to her, you know.
27:04So mom and dad would get in trouble.
27:07I'm shocked because Wilma is telling me that she talks to her family on a regular basis.
27:13And I know once you leave the Amish, you're shunned.
27:17Like there's no going back, there's no contact.
27:19But this also gives me a little bit of hope that maybe someday Elmer could be at that point
27:24to make amends with them.
27:29We just went and got an ultrasound and it was so awesome.
27:32Like it made me think, like I wonder if maybe once Elmer's parents find out
27:38if we're having a baby, that they would be open to seeing us.
27:41Yes.
27:42The kids is what pulls at their heartstrings.
27:46I know deep down he cares and wants to see his family and it hurts him
27:49because there's been a few nights where we'll be watching a movie and he'll start crying.
27:53So I want to talk to Elmer, but he's just, he's really bullheaded.
28:02I think Elmer does want to have a relationship with his parents,
28:06especially now that he's going to be a dad soon.
28:09But to reach out to his family is really scary for Elmer
28:14because if he gets rejected again by his family, it's going to hurt him.
28:18I know it's hurt him really hard already, but if it happens again, it's going to be bad.
28:25That is my suggestion. Keep trying. Keep trying.
28:29I think it's important to have both sides of the family involved in our baby's life.
28:33If Elmer's not welcome with his family, you know, our child would see that one day
28:38and they would potentially feel rejected by their own family.
28:41And I just, I don't want that.
28:44So Elmer and I need to go make an attempt to see his family.
28:48It might be the critical first step we need to take.
28:51I'll try this, see how it goes.
28:56Everybody like, you know, attacking me.
28:58You're telling me, oh, you think I'm a terrorist because I am Muslim or whatever.
29:03I don't care what you hear.
29:05Jennifer, I feel like we done. That's it. I cut her off.
29:08That's not how that works. Like, it's still my family.
29:22Despite all of the tension between Mohammed and my family,
29:25there's still this little tiny part of me that hopes Mohammed and Jen can come together and figure it all out.
29:30But things are already at a boiling point,
29:32so I'm a little worried that it might just make things worse.
29:38To be honest with you, yesterday was a lot.
29:42Everybody like, you know, attacking me.
29:46Oh, like controlling, controlling, controlling.
29:48Because you kept saying, like, my wife has to listen to me, my wife has to obey me.
29:55Like, that was the whole issue.
30:00It wasn't who you are as a person or your culture or your religion.
30:23There's a lot of things my religion says that I don't listen to.
30:28Like, I feel like certain things, like, you can pick and choose.
30:36To me, it's very wrong.
30:38You cannot pick and choose, pick and choose, pick and choose with religion.
30:42Jennifer, you think, like, I make these rules.
30:45Oh, I actually wear this. I actually don't eat pork.
30:49I actually, like, do not drink alcohol. That's what you think.
30:51Well, that's absolutely wrong.
30:53Being a Muslim, you gotta follow the religion.
30:56You gotta follow it.
31:00But I felt you, like, still, like, you have...
31:04You still have something, like, hidden in your chest.
31:07Like, you want to say something.
31:09I don't know.
31:12I'm talking about you claim that you didn't say that terrorist stuff.
31:21I just feel like you're trying to, like, make that the issue.
31:25You're telling me, oh, you think I'm a terrorist because I'm Muslim or whatever because of my culture.
31:31That's what I hear.
31:32But that's not... I don't care what you hear.
31:36And to be honest, like, I'm done having this conversation
31:40because I'm not going to keep repeating the same thing over and over again because I didn't say that.
31:47I don't care what you've been told, and if we're just going to keep talking about it,
31:50then I'm done with this conversation.
31:53Jennifer, she's stubborn and ignorant.
31:58She still, like, refuses to apologize.
32:00But, like, as a Muslim man, forgiveness and the Quran and religion teach us, like, how to forgive and move on.
32:06God will reward you in the Judgment Day. That's what we believe.
32:11For me, like, even you just said it.
32:14Even you just said, like, you know, I forgive you.
32:16Like, I just, like, I want just, like, to...
32:20...to build a relationship with the family.
32:22Like...
32:23I do, too.
32:24Like, I want to leave the past in the past and move forward.
32:32I'm glad that I talked to Jennifer.
32:34I feel like we done, like, we closed the book.
32:37I don't need to talk to her again.
32:39She's not one of my family.
32:41That's it. I cut her off, and we move on.
32:43That's not how that works.
32:45Like, it's still my family.
32:46I still expect you to, like, be there sometimes with me, visiting my family.
32:50That's the whole point of making peace.
32:52I don't know.
33:08Pastor Johnson's sermon feels directed at me.
33:17Whoo!
33:18This is so screwed up, and I don't have to put up with this.
33:22Hallelujah!
33:49Lindsay's coming to church today with me and my family.
33:52I'm so happy because she finally gets to see where I come from.
33:57But things have been tense this morning.
34:02You're not mad at me, are you, that I didn't want you to wear the hijab?
34:05No, I am not angry with you. No, I'm not.
34:08Okay.
34:09But I do feel like a sellout.
34:12The truth is, I do feel uncomfortable.
34:14I wish I had a shawl or something.
34:17I honestly gave Christopher the right to take the lead.
34:22If he feels like it would be an FU, he knows more about it than I do.
34:27But I do feel like a sellout.
34:30Because when faced with adversity, I fold it.
34:33Like an origami.
34:36Well, I just appreciate you even being open to coming.
34:40You don't got to do nothing that you don't want to do.
34:42Okay.
34:44But if it hits you, don't hold back.
34:46The Holy Ghost?
34:47Yeah.
34:49How do you know if the Holy Ghost hits you?
34:55The Holy Ghost, not the Goalie Ghost.
34:57The Holy Ghost.
34:59It's like an out-of-body experience.
35:02You're just going to feel a lot of emotion.
35:06I've been in church to where I'm feeling the Holy Spirit.
35:09I'm crying because I may be going through things personally,
35:12and it seems like this message is what I needed to hear.
35:16And it's just like, okay, there's hope.
35:18It's a powerful feeling.
35:21Am I going to be conscious?
35:26You'll be conscious.
35:27Like I'll remember the experience?
35:28You won't have control over anything.
35:31This foolishness about the Holy Ghost is already kind of scary.
35:35I know it's holy.
35:36But it's still a spirit of some sort, you know, that I can't see.
35:40It's scary.
35:42All of it just sounds like so much witchcraft.
35:45But I am keeping an open mind.
35:47I'm leaving a small crack.
35:50Small.
35:59This is the church.
36:01Oh, I expected it to be enormous.
36:04Welcome home.
36:06You look so lovely.
36:10I'm hoping that Linda came with an open heart, an open mind,
36:14in order to receive something, hear something,
36:17or see something that she has never seen before.
36:20She needs to feel the presence of the Lord.
36:23When she feels that, she knows it's real.
36:25This is true.
36:26The Lord is real.
36:27She needs to feel the presence of the Lord.
36:29When she feels that, she knows it's real.
36:31This is true.
36:33The Lord touches our spirit.
36:35Praise God.
36:38Welcome to all of you and to those that are visiting with us today.
36:44If you know the song, just sing along with us.
36:58I love you.
37:00I love you.
37:02I've never been to a church.
37:04And to be honest, I do find it to be a little weird.
37:22In Islam, worship isn't loud.
37:25It's subtle.
37:26It's quiet.
37:28It's almost more like a meditation.
37:31Whereas in the church, it felt like a party.
37:34It was just so wild.
37:36People are clapping, swaying.
37:39It was actually like a circus.
37:51We have a preacher on board this morning.
37:53My good friend, the right reverend elder, George Johnson.
38:04My father's been retired for a couple years now.
38:07But since Linza's here, he wanted to deliver a special sermon today.
38:11Growing up, I always liked to see him get up on the pulpit.
38:14He's very animated.
38:15He brings a lot of energy into the service.
38:18I know that he can be a lot when Linza's around.
38:20But I'm hoping this will give her a chance to see him in a different light.
38:25God had a way out for us.
38:31When Adam and Eve messed up, God knows right then, I got a way out for you.
38:36By accepting Jesus as our personal Lord and Savior.
38:41That's the bottom line.
38:43That's a whole lot of people don't believe in Jesus.
38:47We got to believe in Him.
38:50If not, you're already condemned.
38:54I'm here at church because I do love Chris.
38:58And I do want to show his parents that I do respect their religion.
39:03But Pastor Johnson's sermon feels directed at me.
39:09I am completely shocked.
39:13The Lord sent me here for you.
39:14God is not going to overlook His Son's blood.
39:19But God says that's a way out.
39:22Through Jesus Christ.
39:25Somebody help me say, a way out.
39:29Hearing my father preach about going to hell if you don't accept Jesus.
39:35I know he's trying to get through to Linza.
39:38But it's clear that she's upset with what he's saying.
39:41This is not good at all.
39:42Don't have to die in your sin.
39:45Because there's a way out for you now.
39:48Through Jesus Christ.
39:50Woo!
39:52The Lord!
39:54Somebody help me say, Lord!
39:57Lord!
39:59Lord!
40:01I feel like Chris' dad has crossed the line.
40:05We got to finish the work, church.
40:07We got to bring him in.
40:09It's offensive, it's disrespectful.
40:12You're trying to instill fear in me.
40:15And I'm not a child.
40:17I am a grown woman.
40:19I feel like I'm getting bullied into accepting Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior.
40:25I got a way out for you, church.
40:28Hallelujah!
40:31I got you now.
40:33Woo!
40:34Woo!
40:40Woo!
40:42Woo!
40:44Why do you feel like you are entitled and you have the right to tell someone else that they're condemned to hell?
40:50You are not God, sir.
40:53This is so screwed up and I don't have to put up with this.
40:57He got a way out!
40:59Yes, sir!
41:01Oh, you guys, this is nuts.
41:08Next time on Forbidden Love.
41:11Oh my God.
41:13I feel weird wearing these Amish clothes.
41:16I look like a creepy pioneer woman.
41:18I look like my sister Susie.
41:20Does that turn you on?
41:23I brought you over here, guys, to discuss our problems.
41:28Ashley, nah.
41:31She's a fake Muslim.
41:33She's crazy.
41:35You break my TV, you break my PlayStation, you call the police and you break the window.
41:40I'm not saying that that was right or I didn't overreact.
41:47God, he's such an idiot.
41:49Not like a lot of care.
41:55I can feel him.
41:57He's putting the cross on my forehead.
41:59This is insane.
42:01I said, look at God.
42:03Look how great he is.
42:05You can't force me into submission.
42:07And I feel like I'm being forced here and it makes me uncomfortable.
42:12We're on our way to Elmer's parents' house right now and I am worried if he can handle if his family rejects him again.
42:20Wilmer called me.
42:22He got wind that you guys were coming up.
42:24Our cover got blown and I don't know if this is going to work.
42:27We got to go.
42:29There's one chance and that's here.
42:31It's now.
42:33I'm scared s***less what's going to happen, but we got to go now.
42:35Here we go.
