I am not church hunting.

I know that. How would you? You hadn't experianced it, and because I am young, you just assume the problem is with my immature mind and not with my experiances.

lol. Of course you wouldn't agree. You have no idea what I am talking about. :)

I remember feeling like that. It got to a point where I just locked myself away and ignored them all.

It is because it is one of those "life" churches. You have to live it to be in it, and getting out is harder because of it. I did go a long time without talking to any of you. That was kind of like my recovery time to find myself. Myself found, I am here still learning in support of my daddy.

I am not looking for religion. I am just making sense of some of them. I am still learning.. I will look at the differences in opinion and see which makes sense.

I am already in a support group. I was talking to them about it to. I already know how to write the letter, I just don't want church people to get a red alert and come back to save me.

Not only did being a member feel like a job... but now I have to quit like it was a job? I have to write a letter so I can believe what I believe? Man, nothing is easy anymore. Not even your own faith.

How much time would you say you have given to the study of this issue? Have you consulted the scriptures? The Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith? Conference talks? As I said, the statement that Jesus is God is on the first page of the Book of Mormon. It isn't like a person needs to do some especially in depth study to see that.Now I do not pretend to know how this concept could have escaped you. I cannot imagine your personal devotion to a study of the scriptures was anything less than total. Perhaps in your eagerness to measure every word, you overlooked this principle. Perhaps you knew a primary friend that knew they could ignore every word of class and answer every question with a single word: 'Jesus'. There is some truth to that. There is a reason for that. Take a look at Mosiah 3. Verse 5 says: 'the Lord Omnipotent who reigneth, who was, and is from all eternity to all eternity, shall come down from heaven among the children of men, and shall dwell in a tabernacle of clay, and shall go forth amongst men, working mighty miracles, such as healing the sick, raising the dead, causing the lame to walk, the blind to receive their sight, and the deaf to hear, and curing all manner of diseases.' Verse 8 says: 'he shall be called Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the Father of heaven and earth, the Creator of all things from the beginning; and his mother shall be called Mary.' Verse 20-21 says: 'the time shall come when the knowledge of a Savior shall spread throughout every nation, kindred, tongue, and people. And behold, when that time cometh, none shall be found blameless before God, except it be little children, only through repentance and faith on the name of the Lord God Omnipotent.' Mosiah 5:15 calls the Saviour 'Christ, the Lord God Omnipotent' What did Jesus say to the Nephites? 'Arise and come forth unto me, that ye may thrust your hands into my side, and also that ye may feel the prints of the nails in my hands and in my feet, that ye may know that I am the God of Israel, and the God of the whole earth, and have been slain for the sins of the world.' (3 Nephi 11:14) Or, check out Hymn 134 in the LDS Hymnal, I Believe in Christ. Verse 3 says: 'I believe in Christ- my Lord, my God!' It is sad but true that there are many who live within the Church for decades and go through the motions without understanding some of the most basic and necessary principles of Mormonism. The notion that Jesus is the Christ, the Eternal God is THE founding principle of Mormonism. -a-train But then there is two Gods. The Son of God and God the Father. It isn't "basic principles" I am having problems with. It is remembering how to count I think. 1...2...? That is what makes most sense to me. None of that trinity triangle!!!

I don't see how I can still be considered a member. If that is the case, I am Catholic as well. I don't think I am a mormon just because they have my name on a piece of paper. They don't want to let it go, that is their problem, because the fact remains that I have nothing to do with them. I believe what I say I believe, not what someone else tells me I believe.

Good. I really don't know how to break it down any more. It took me a few mins to make it that easy to follow. I guess I could draw a picture... but that would probably make things worse.

It would cause an upheaval in my family to be officially removed. No. I have not been a member for a year. Sex talk was a year in a half ago. Don't worry, I will explain what that means. It means that six months BEFORE I left was the sex talk. Six months later, I left. I left a year ago. The Sex talk was a year and a half ago.

I have not been a member for over a year. Where did a year and a half come from?

You have to be 16 to group date, and 18 to single date. Yey. I can finally have a boy friend!

Yupp. That is what it is.

Okay. Here is what I am trying right now until I find a better plan. http://glass.typepad.com/journal/2005/09/h...o_catch_a_.html I don't think the little guy cab get up on my table though.

The home teachers in my town aren't very good. Asking to have my name removed would stop the missionaries and the YW. But it would also cause an upheaval in my family at the moment.

NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CAEL JUST SAW A MOUSE!!! IT IS IN MY HOUSE!! HE SAID IT WAS WHITE, AND PUT UP NO FIGHT! I JUST WANNA KNOW WHERE THE HECK DID IT GO? WOULD IT BE SAFE TO GET AND KEEP AS A PET? BTW How do you find and catch mice? I don't like it running around when I am sleeping. Any suggestions?

I think the girls and guys still believe in the other have KOOTIES!!! AHHHH!!!!! Silly I know, but having all the guys on one side and the girls on the other, its quite awkward and funny at the same time Acez We NEVER had that problem! LOL!
