You will find that the folks on here are very nice and helpful.

Yeah they would beat BSU just like last year. Oh wait....BSU beat you last year too. Are you talking about the same USC team that lost to unranked Washington and Unranked Arizona? Oregon was out-coached and out-played in every aspect of the BSU game.

You are correct about the Church of Christs feelings towards Mormons, some of them feel that way about Baptists also. Jenamarie, Thank you for the link. Why didn't I think of that I will start on it now. Thank you both for the well wishes. WeimLover

Well...Another reason is because my wife will be at church tomorrow cooking for a youth function. I will be able to talk to them without getting glared at by my wife.

I got a call today from the wife. She told me some "LDS folks stopped by" but she didn't answer the door (rude). The elder left a note to call him but it is a little to late in the evening and I really don't want to impose on his family time. I'll give him a call in the morning and should have the Book of Mormon in my hands by tomorrow afternoon. I am really curious about what it has to say. Unfortunately my wife told me if I went LDS it would be a "Deal Breaker". She says that doesn't necessarily mean divorce but that she wouldn't have kids with me. I will continue to pray for guidance. Thank you all for the warm welcome here. WeimLover

That is a very powerful and uplifting video. Thank you for sharing it.

I have been there many times. Very beautiful place.

Okay. Where at? Ontario maybe?

I grew up with Mormons as friends and noticed how close-nit most of the families were. I was never really interested in the faith because I have been told all my life that it is "weird" and/or "strange", never really looking into it myself I just assumed they were right. Now that I have researched a little of the history behind the religion, I have formed my own opinion. I wouldn't say that I dissatisfied with my current church or that it is lacking. I just feel that our Heavenly Father is trying to lead me in a direction and I have no clue where it will end (I hope this sentence made since). As to where that will be I don't know, maybe it will be back to a baptist church, the same church I go to now, or possibly the Mormon church. I just know that the Lord will guide me where I need to go, whether it be a week from now or next year.

Portland, in the University Hospital I believe.

To follow the path our Heavenly Father wants me to go down.

Thank you for the warm welcome. I guess I should give you a little introduction about myself. I was born in Oregon but raised in a small town in Southwestern Idaho with my conservative but not religious grandparents. I grew up always believing in a higher power. I attended youth group meetings at a Nazarene church off and on while in Jr. High and High School but never really attended church regularly. In 2003 while living in Texas I attended a Baptist church regularly, I accepted Christ and was also baptised in 2004. I met my wife in late 2004 and married her in early 2005. She attended the Church of Christ so I started going to church with her. Our close to five years of marriage have been very happy but I fear that if I convert she may leave me. I am in real need of prayer while these life changing decisions are presented to me. Weimlover

Hello, Let me tell you why I'm here. I have known Mormons my whole life (Grew up in Idaho) but I have never been very interested in the religion. All that changed in the last week while I was in Layton, UT for some training. Since I was in the area I went and saw the Salt Lake Temple and it kinda peaked my interest in what Mormons believed. So with the intention of proving to myself why Mormons are weird I started doing a little research, well......it didn't work. I started out looking at the anti-Mormon websites but I did not like all the hate spewing that was thrown around on them so I started looking at the websites that were put out to defend Mormonism and it all started making sense to me. I ordered the Book of Mormon yesterday evening, after ordering it a pop-up came up that said I will be contacted in the next few days. I am now looking forward to that meeting(I used to turn the lights and the TV off when I saw the Mormon missionaries going around to the houses on our block). I am not one to just "jump" into a new religion (I have been a baptist since 2003) so it may take a while for me to convert. Thanks for letting me be a part of the forums. WeimLover
