I am 25 and my seminary teacher had that posted in our seminary room-9th grade-I thought it was strange but sort of cool. He also had a side thought/lesson to share with us at one point- a wise tale dealing with if you hold a string and needle over your wrist you can find out how many kids you will have and what gender. If the needle spins in a circle it will be a boy and a line back and forth

I would never join another religion, I just talk about Mormonism and it's ruling power because I was a Moron Mormon...and my whole family is stuck in there. I think you should mold your own life and be responsible for yourself.

medicine has effects and usually is just a cover up. It's not for everyone(obviously) and if you don't try it you'll never know. It's not my life- it's yours, so it's all up to you. My dad took it and has had high high blood pressure and it dropped 20 points by doing nothing different. Good luck everyone.

This is sad, he is living on both sides and I am sure will break soon...I would. I can't imagine he is accepted into their fold. I hope they aren't doing the shock treatment on him.

I think it will get easier in time, just last month I saw my family for the first time since I came clean and said I am a non-believer. That was intense for me. I like the whole idea of giving of yourself and precious time away for service but not in the name of the LDS church. I bet a mission does humble you a lot and can do a lot of good. I want to respect people that are trying to do somet

I was out on an evening stroll with my boyfriend when we saw two missionaries ride by on their bikes. They had an inclination to turn around and ask us if we have heard of the LDS church. I said yes, I am an exmormon. Then one of them asked me if I had any referrals? I thought...for real?? I said no I don't and I don't want to waste your time. Then I made eye contact with one...the less ner

I have tried to explain to some of my closest friends reasons I have chosen to leave the church completely, I think they are smart people and I want to be understood.

It is was false for me because people were friends with me or gave me their support on account if I was living in a way the church wanted me to...or I guess if no one found out about it. It's all about how you present yourself in the Mormon church. I grew up in a 70 percent populated Mormon valley so I know first hand on how controlling they can be. I always felt awkward at church things and w

The word intervening could be replaced with controlling and taking people's identity away. It started with me as a child, I also held my soul and spirit on a higher plane than people around me that weren’t born into the chosen fold.

I know exactly what you are saying, I think the church instilled that in me and made me a very emotional person. The church called me today to update my records.

Remember when I think Boston or New York didn't want the little Moroni figurine up pointing to the east or west...or where ever Jesus is suppose to come down from the heavens in Missouri.

Blue moon is my fav. When do you think you are going to tell them that you are completely out of the church? Are you? I was scared for a little over a year to do it.

I'm not offended, this kind of stuff would come up in my interviews as well and I felt bad about lying about the petty things in high school and when I actually did have sex in college and confessed, I wasn't kicked out of BYU-I.
