Gingernut

I was on my own when I came back, I Was always the only member of the Church in my family, so they didn't play any direct role for me. In fact I had been in an abusuve marriage, which I left after 20 years, I was rebaptised a year later, I made the first step back on my own, it wasn't easy, but as time went I knew I had made the right choice to come back, it was a gradual process for me.

I was in the same position as your wife, I didn't stop beleiving in God, but I was influenced by others and I stopped believing in the theology and doctrines that were uniquely LDS, but in God, I still believed, I still had faith in Jesus Christ as my saviour, I joined and left several different churches over the years,I was searching, I eventually I returned to the Church. I now have a strong testimony,Stronger than I had ever had before I left the church, I spent all that time trying to find what i'd lost somewhere else, then rediscovered it where I first had it, sometimes we don't realise what we have until we loose it. Sometimes you have to walk down the wrong path and experience the dead end for yourself to then realise that the path you were previously travelling on was the right one. That is not denying the Holy Ghost, To be in that catagory, you would knowingly walk down the dead end, telling others to do likewise, whilst knowing you were leading them to a dead end.This is what Satan does.

Hello, I live in the UK, I'm LDS, I have been on here before, several years ago, At the time I was thinking about returning to the church, I had been away about ten years. I came back, but was wobbly, and drifted away again for a while. Things changed for me after watching the October 2013 general Conference. I am female, in my mid forties with two grown children, I live on my own, I work full time as a carer. I'm looking forward participating on here again, :)
