  1. Great response. I too enjoy reading philosophy and you offered some thoughts which connect with me on a direct level. It's great to atleast see that even though none of you have anything invested in me outside of this forum, you are all willing to take the time to help me.
  2. Thanks for the response. Are these forums open to asking very specific questions about anti-literature topics? I don't want to get this thread shut down by getting too specific and I certainly don't want to start trying other people's testimony by detailing specifics. However, if I can ask specifics it may help clear up some stuff for me right now. Thank you all again!
  3. Vort, Thank you so much for such a heartfelt and quick response. You offer very sound advice and I will follow it. The thing that made anti literature so destructive for my testimony is when I read the anti literature and realized it was anti, I would cross-reference the claims with talks and records which are posted in the online archive available on the church's site. Perhaps I should invest the time to read through the talks and history more thoroughly in order to assure I understand this stuff in full context. I'm seeking the members help because honestly I was happier when I had full faith in the church. I took a very hard hit by running across this stuff and I would really like to get back to who I was; but in order for that to happen more core and my mind has to believe that this stuff is 100% truth. Thanks again everyone for reading this and to those who respond!
  4. This post is more of a shout for help than anything else. I've been a member my entire life, I'm an RM, and I used to have the most sincere and committed testimony you could imagine. I accidently ran across what has been deemed "anti-Mormon" literature over several months ago. My first exposure got to my curiousity and I began to pursue the subject matter even more. It has rocked my testimony. I won't get into any details of what I read, this post is simply a broad disclosure of stating that I came across anti literature. I'm really struggling now with trying to have faith in our church. Does any one on here have a similar experience of reading this stuff and still having faith in the divinity of the church? I could really use some encouragement and answers. I'm a man, and very much a logical person. I would appreciate something outside of "pray to feel the spirit" response. I would have died for this church on my mission because my testimony was so rock solid. Now I really battle internally to trust in any of this. All answers are welcome. Thank you!
