Ok well guess I am going to through my 2, or 3, or 4 cents in here... I say this with experiance, I have dated many non memmbers and will never do so again. Not becaues they were bad people. They were simply not members and would not join the church. Although there are those non-members that are great people. They are not memmbers. One of my best friends in the hole world is a non-member. I sometimes say he is and just has not relized it yet, but reguardless when it comes right down to it he is not. As great of a person as he is he will not join, and therefor would not recomend he be dated by fellow members of our church. Now I totally understand that there have been many many....manymanymany people who have dated non-members and converted them. Again I speak with exp. as my father was a non. If my mother had been someone that would not date nons then I would not be here. So there are of course cases where dating that non works out for the best. But I say that before you get to talking about marrage with this person that you are dating that is a non. You should first be talking about wheather or not that person is feeling the promtings of the spirit and our heavenly father to join. If that they are not then ultimately one should not be thinking of marring them. Every single person I have talked to, or heard about that has married a non has said in one way or another that it is not worth it. And in some cases they will tell others that by no terms should you ever marry a non. So in closing if you are going to date non-members by all meens go ahead. But keep in mind that we date so that we might find our eternal companions. When I was dating nons the idea of marriage seriously came up. As I thought about it the more I felt that it was wrong. As much love as there was between us I felt that it was not worth it. How to raise the kids and such...And I was totally nutts for this girl, but I broke it off . Deciding that I would only date members. Everyone has there own opinion, and I am sure some will disagrea with me. Thats my 2 or 3 cents. TheLegend...TheMoore

Hey all. I stubled apon this site as I was looking for church related stuff online. I just moved and was inspired to return to the church. It has been the best thing to happen to me in years. I have not had the spirit in my life for so lone that it brings tears to my eyes to once again feel it. Going to chruch, FHE, and institute is so great, and the people in my singles branch are awesome. I was at church today and just being there put a smile on my face. Figured that if I was going to join any online comunity it should be one where most the people share church ideals.
