You didn't understand what I said. I SAID, you WILL NOT lose you EXALTATION by marrying OUTSIDE in THIS LIFE because we STILL have the millenium to go through and MANY marriages will be performed that weren't possible before. AND having the REST of the spirits come down during that same time. ALSO we won't "die" during the millenium we will TWINKLE, so how am I getting "doctrine" wrong???? Scolding me in public is interesting for an LDS website.

No one is going to lose their exaltation by marrying outside the faith! WOW! That's a doctrinal boo-boo that would hurt constantly if it were true, but rest assured it is NOT. Please pick up a book called "Believing Christ: The Parable of the Bicycle and Other Good News" I urge all to read this very important book - it doesn't matter whether you are new in the church, were born under the Covenant or have been a convert for many years, this one book started me on the way to change the way I view me and my relationship and responsbility and the grace part that many do not really get... Faith and being told by leaders to find a mate "now, now, now!" isn't enough, there's so much more and finding a mate if we fail to find one CERTAINLY isn't ended here, we still have the Millenium to go through, so do NOT panic because you are taking Eternity out of context. I've given up finding a guy, this time he will have to find me but I still have to put myself in a place and situation where I might MEET someone :)

You live in WA? With THE MOST dances of ANY area that I've been able to find you aren't finding enough??? Try Spokane or other areas like Walla Walla or Eugene where there are NO dances and NO activities. Singles in Seattle are BLESSED to have SO MUCH and they don't even know it. Get involved in mid-singles if you haven't already - join the facebook page and get your friends to join - there is strength and organization in NUMBERS people :) Take care, More lonely in Spokane Kelly

You are a single - but you aren't in a SINGLE place - and yes, I'd suggest you move BUT with a very specific goal in mind - the places you have been, looked, seen, are not indicative of a "huge" LDS presence so I will posit a suggestion :) Look to areas LIKE Seattle, Washington. The area has dances EVERY week, two singles conferences every year, one of which is held at Ensign Ranch in the mountains east of Seattle/Bellevue. I don't live in that area any longer but I wish I did! Spokane where I live now has a few dances, none well attended and NONE that are "mid-singles" which my young friend is where you belong. Don't get discouraged by being single at 30 please! There are many men out here who are older than you are and they are living GREAT single lives but they are massively active in the singles program as well as in their communities. Institute in any LARGER city keeps you busy on one night a week, but there are PEOPLE to meet at Institute, which I have been trying to get MY 26 year old son to understand but he can't go easily because of anxiety - you don't seem to have anxiety, but you DO have loneliness and you need others like yourself where you can immerse your love of others and then find a mate IF Heavenly Father has that in store for you - or any of us who are single and I am. You are newer in the church, don't give up because you live in a branch where married people probably can't understand your life or your deep and abiding loneliness but singles CAN and DO. Keep coming in here and to anything else you can find on the net and stay connected to singles as much as possible. God Bless you! Kelly
