Alan, I'm facing the same thing right now, so thank you for starting this thread! I joined in my early 20's and became inactive about a year later, since then ten years have slipped by. Lately I have been thinking more and more about going back, I started reading the Bible at home and the BOM online at work in breaks. When I joined I don't think I was armed with the information that was available, nobodies fault but by own, I think I was emotionally immature and made the decision based on what I wanted LDS to be rather than what it was. I should have asked more questions, been more open and certainly prayed a lot more. Now, I'm older, married, a lot more sure of myself and how I feel. Not so attached to my parents and their religous beliefs but still want to make the right decision, not go back and become inactive again. So I will be praying on it some more before I do go back. Joining this site was my first step. My husband is an inactive methodist as well as a scientist, I know this path will not be for him, though I am sure of his support. The step of going back, that first time, will be hard, I understand how you feel. the post above from LDSVALLEY has really helped and is very true.......so thank you, I will keep that in mind when I go to my first Sacrament meeting. Good luck Alan, I hope it all goes well.

Hi everyone, great site, looking forward to getting to know it better! :)
