I have an aunt who went through it. But I have no idea what she went through with it. I'm *guessing* it wasn't that bad...missionary discussion and rebaptism... But she rejoined because she realized "The church she left was really just her father's crazy interpretation of it" (Yes, grandparents *were* loose on their rockers...but the stuff *I* was raised with is the same stuff ev

Strangely enough, I see that as an easier situation to deal with - if there were only a very few "kids" at a time (say...five? Ten? Depends on how much actual support there was), we would be a LOT more likely to be able to provide real assistance.

I thought it was a good idea when I posted it...was surprised it hadn't been responded to. I'm glad to find others think it's a good idea, too. Anybody have any experience or even contact with managing a scholarship fund? Or am I going to have buy (maybe write?) a book: Scholarship Setup and Management for Dummies

Catching up on my EXMO...org reading, I came across this thread: http://exmormon.org/phorum/read.php?2,518689 and I couldn't help thinking "A scholarship for kids that have been cut off by their parents for leaving the church makes a lot of sense, and probably wouldn't cost that much" So I'm creating a thread, rather than replying.

I've been told quite a few times here "Welcome to Melbourne - four seasons, every day!" I'm enjoying it. Seems like a great mix of Florida and Southern Utah.

I was raised LDS, active believer (church was boring as hell. Actually - hell would be church all day every day), but in the minority. There were quite a few mormons around, and we tended to stick together...lots of time spent re-inforcing our beliefs and explaining to ourselves why it was great to be special. I wasn't often asked about my religion, and I believed I could explain it quite

I think one of the core questions to ask is - do you believe in miracles? The atheist denies a miracle - it's just an unknown but natural event. The believer accepts miracles can happen. (Yes, I'm a Christian...a practicing Christian, as I'm not a good Christian :)
