  1. I'm probably missing something but isn't this part of what home and visiting teachers role is, although it may be easier to talk to a set person in your ward/branch who is set aside for that task to be honest.
  2. Hi, As someone who has just returned to church myself all I can say is do it. Today was my first Sunday back and it was a great day, I had spoke to the missionaries last week and I would highly recommend giving the missionaries in your area a call if you haven't already. All the best and I hope all goes well for you.
  3. Lol not quite what I meant but yes you could refer to it as the active ingredients in marijuana which are THC and CBD (not even gonna try to correctly spell the full names). What I was trying to say is its the improper use of a substance that's the problem not the substance it self, and improper use can still occur with a valid prescription.
  4. First off I have only read the first post and not the replies so I maybe saying what has already been said. Second i'm only just returning to the church after a long period of in activity so I may get things wrong. In my understanding of the Words of wisdom drugs are ok for prescribed medical uses, for an example in my own life I have taken Anti-depressants, Anti-psychotics and sleeping tablets during my time being ill (i'm doing well now :)) all of which would be available from drug dealers and used by people to get high. So in my option regarding drugs and the Words of wisdom first and foremost consider your intent in using the drug, only you can truly answer that for yourself, then also very important get qualified medical advice, if both of them are done I personally see no problem in you using any drug. After all Heroine is used as a pain killer although its more likely called diamorphine.
  5. Hi, I grew up as an atheist but joined the church at around 20 years old, I was active in the church for around 2 years then I stopped attending partly because I moved but also many other silly little reasons. I have been inactive for around 15 years and for a large part of that time didn't consider myself a member. My question is that i'm looking to go back to church but I don't know what the process will be as I have sin quite a bit in that time, I basically broke every part of the words of wisdom possible, I of course didn't pay any tithing at all, I never attended church at all and I have broken my vow of chastity(alone and in thought/desire only). One aspect I've been thinking about as well as repenting which I have already started is tithing, as I have been a member for the last 15 years should I work out how much I have earned in this time to pay tithing or will I be a full tithe payer by starting from now. Also I don't know anyone in the ward closest to where I live and my 1 visit there (15 years ago) I was a little freaked out by someone, for a silly reason but its still on my mind, and its not to easy for me to get there. I know I should just bite the bullet so to speak and go on Sunday and see what the Bishop says but its easier said than done. If it has any bearing on the answer I was/am an Aaronic priesthood member, I have not done any temple ordinances other than proxy baptisms, and I did not serve or start a mission. Also I am moving in the next few months so should I leave it till after I move or is now best. Thank in advance for any and all answers
