She unfriended everyone that is exmormon on my list too, including mine. I know she had posted that she was getting the personal pressure from her MIL. I wondered if it just was more pressure than she was expecting to deal with. Also pressure from the entertainment world is tough to deal with too. She might not of wanted stuff leaked to the news.

I believe a church can be a useful base for some people to help give them guidelines if that's what they need. But a person is going to be whom they are going to be with or without a religion. Does the church make the people or do the people make the church? There are a the basic things most religions present to pull in new members; A loving Deity, Jesus as God or the son of God, Family unity

I think it's a good idea to have a little storage, rotated of course, in this day and age. Even if you may not need it, you might meet someone that is starving and you can help them.

familysearch.org seems to show mainly census, S.S.death index and draft records. And of course new.familysearch.org is only for active LDS members, of which I am no longer.

I hadn't heard of most of those rules as an investigator, before I left the church. My wife said some of them were ones she grew up with though. I thought I had it bad with the rules I grew up with as a JW, but sounds just as bad and unfounded. JW no no's: No Holidays No Birthdays Nothing more than PG movies - not even Donnie and Marie Osmond No Rock and Roll No Competition ; varsit

How many left the Mormon Church because of Satan being involved in temple rituals. And human disobedience is said to be a "good" think? I joined religion to oppose Satan and the evil represents. Why does a Holy temple repeat it over and over ; Disobedience to God Mankinds Fall Satan Answers Adam's Prayer Satan says item represents his priesthoods Person representing Satan command

My one time companion and I were 100%, but then again, we had all of 4 familys. Two of them were older single gals that had big grandsons that did a lot of work for them all the time. And we had the edge of being a brand newly created ward.

Winternight and I noticed the same thing. But we were also very clear that we had no intention of changing our minds and we had requested that they expedite our resignations. I think it may be a new tactic. Because even though we wanted to have no one bother us, we tensed up with expectation of harassment which hasn't happened so far which has been about a month.

I saw a youtube the other night of an ex Temple Worker. He mentioned the "Five points of fellowship" had to be removed because of all the sisters reporting that they were being molested. How awful for the sisters having gone through that.

As a new convert, I guess I was lucky and not as I had befriended a brother who was/is an exceptional man. He treated his wife the way I treat mine and how I believe all should treat their spouses/SOs - as equal partners with love and respect. I haven't met many men like this, so I was impressed and thought the men of the LDS church must all be like him. Part of why I became interested. And I was

So per the fantasy thought of LDS teachings, if everyone got their own world and all the kids and wives you have are part of your kingdom - do I have that right? Then, what happens when each kid grows up and wants their own worlds too? Aren't all the worlds a little short on people? And how big are these worlds/planets? What kind of animals get allocated - or are there any? These and many oth
