autismmum

Have PM'd you Daisyday to see if I can help at all with anything xx

See I live in the UK... I don't know if the LDS churches have cemeteries here for sure but most churches over here have their own cemeteries and you tend to be buried at the church you attended .

Thanks so much . It is something that only came into my head this morning and you would not believe the tearful state I have worked myself up into today! Don't know what's wrong with me at the moment... Couldn't work out why God was pushing me up this path if it meant being parted from my son. Of course I hadn't considered that as he gets older he may well choose the same path anyway. He is intelligent but in his own way...he is almost 9 but if someone tried to baptise him at the moment he would think they were trying to drown him and would be terrified.

Yet another question.... If I get baptised into LDS faith and my young son doesn't and I am buried with LDS church and he isn't what happens after that? I am going to bring him up as LDS in his lifestyle and beliefs but I don't think he will be baptised because of his autism but also because my ex husband who is his father is catholic and will have no time for this "mormon rubbish". I know there are things you can do after death ie baptisms etc but he will have none of that either I know it. Am waffling but I guess what I need to know is if I am buried in a different place and religion to my son does that mean we won't be together in the afterlife?

That sounds a lot like me to be fair. It's a strange feeling when you don't even know what you are crying about. Oddly after thinking about it whenever I have been on holidays etc and visited cathedrals and churches I got the same teary thing going on. I am worried now about what I am going to be like when I do get baptised! I will probably look like a total nutter crying lol....how embarrassing

Just wanted to say thanks for suggesting I look at the Mormonism for dummies book. I would never have thought of looking at it but actually it is a really informative book and had explained a lot to me about doctrines etc.

I'd imagine back in the 70s a lot of people probably got into LDS because of the Osmonds. Quite frankly there is a lot to think about in joining up and I certainly wouldn't be doing it just because I liked a singer. My mum just says it to try to make me feel daft I think.

Well I rang her today and while we were talking I told her of my intention to be baptised. She was ok about it really...she still thinks its a cult and still blames Donny Osmond lol. Oh and people on here are being nice to me so I get dragged further in. So apart from that it went well;)

hi I have been looking at LDS faith for last 2 or 3 months and living by it. I want to go down the path to conversion...everyone on here has been so fantastic with their welcomes and their knowledge but I would love to also know some church members in the UK ......especially in South Yorkshire where I live as I havent even plucked up the courage to go to church yet and it would help me so much to know other people around here.

I love Pans Labyrinth...fab film

I thought it was supposed to be a warm feeling inside...or am I getting totally mixed up with something else?

Hi Over the last couple of days when I am praying or reading my Book of Mormon it is making me cry:confused: I am not feeling sad with it infact I am probably the calmest and happiest I have been for ages ...but I just keep crying...just tears falling not any sadness...it's hard to explain

Lol actually the teams here are Sheffield United and Sheffield Wednesday;). If I was to support any team it would be Newcastle United as that is where I spent most of my life till I moved to go to Uni

It isn't casting huge doubts...but don't forget I am only a couple of months into my investigations so I don't know the ins and outs of it all yet. I do know that "something" is telling me that this church is where I belong and that no matter what my family say I want to go with my feelings. I have a real feeling of calm and peace in my life that I didn't have before

I am in Sheffield in UK ...maybe I need to see if there are any others from near there on here
