Please know you are most welcome here and in the Kingdom.

Lehi

I am looking for an LDS discussion board.  The last two I have tried are majority antis......

[Hi Y'all]

Thank you.  Not sure why there are so many of my posts

[Hi Y'all]

I am a fairly new member.  Sorta.

I was baptized in 1983.  I was a college grad with a job when I joined.  I went on my mission in 1984.  I quit my job, sold my things and went on my mission at the age of 24.

After my mission, I went to law school.  In my last year of law school, 1989, I left the church.  I became a very vocal ant-Mormon.

For 26 years, I fought against the Church.  Then, thru a series of amazing miracles, I was rebaptized in 2015.  

I then quit my 6-figure managing attorney position in Texas and, because I believe God wanted me to, I moved to SLC.

In May of this year, my blessings were restored.  I attended the Temple for first time in 29 years.  I am a Gospel Doctrine Teacher.

I love the Church.  I am so glad to be back.

For some reason, there are duplicate threads

ok.....now just started reading it again.  I want to read it as a Member

[The First Vision accounts]

The versions are not just because folks do not tell a story the same way each time, but also because stories are told differently to different audiences.  I go into more detail with folks who know nothing.  I tell less details to people I do not know well.

I have no issues with it

[If you could start over anywhere...]

I packed up a year ago and moved to Utah from Texas.  I had a wonderful 6-figure job and nice house in Texas....I felt God wanted me to move here, so I did.

I know what you mean. I miss a bit the solemnity that would evoke awe before the blessings and the veneration. 

Yes....there was something really special about it.

But, I have never felt as close to the family of God as I do as a Latter-Day Saint

[For the men, who would you marry?]

um...a woman?

[Why be silent?]

It is harder to "put yourself out there" in today's world.  We are ruled by the inane "political correctness" idiocy that plagues our society.  

I think I will start calling my Doberman a "Doberperson"

[Two questions about conversion]

I was very, very Catholic.  I was a Eucharistic Minister, a Lector, and a 4th Degree Knight.

And now, I am LDS.

I sometimes miss the tradition and solemnity of the Catholic Church, but being LDS is the right thing....and it is amazing.

[Hi]

Congrats on the OP

[Should I focus more on learning?]

You can do both....but, learning is always a great idea.  We are taught in the Book of Mormon that prayer, fasting, and study is how you grow your testimony.

If your testimony is not growing, it is shrinking.....

[My first talk]

How did it go?

[Hello. Im new here but very curious about your Church]

It is a great book.  I am a Gospel Doctrine teacher and I love finding little things in the Book of Mormon that prove it is the Word of God

[Rough Stone Rolling]

I read it as a non-Mormon (LDS now).  I felt it was honest enough that a member would say, "See?  Joseph was a prophet!" and a non-member would say, "See?  He was not a prophet!"

[Feeling the Spirit Every Day]

Good post about reading the Scriptures
