Where do I start?

[SuperSizedAngel]

Hello. Yes. That was a good start. Now what?

Um. Hi. Yes, I said that already sorry. I'm nervous.

Maybe I should just spill the beans already!!

I used to be mormon. I used to be a really strong mormon. Then I fell away. I then got into the occult. After that I went into Christianity and thrived off of the information from anti mormon sites. And now? Now I claim to be mostly Agnostic....but lately...something is pulling at heart...and my mind. I can't describe it.

Maybe I can blame Facebook. I got in touch with some people from my very distant past. And they are momons from my very first ward as a child. Maybe. But it was something before that that made me go searching for them in the first place. Oh I dunno.

Anyways. I'm 30. Married to an atheist. I am American, he is English and we live in the UK. I am a large woman, always have been always will be.

I have sooo many issues with mormon doctrine...but for now I am taking it slow. I have had my dad send me a BOM (its in the mail,lol) so that I can reread it and decide. I just need the foundation. The rest of the doctrine doesn't matter to me right now.

Living in England is weird. I haven't met a single mormon. Nor have I seen a mormon church! How weird!!!!

Anyways. That's me a in nutshell. Please be nice, I'm a fragile soul at the moment!

I just need the foundation.

Like any good foundation, if you rush it, it won't last! A good foundation takes time!

And as always, remember what a good foundation is built one...

Welcome!

There is plenty to do here on this site. Of course, there are threads about the gospel, but there are also threads that are just plain fun or wacky.

I don't think any of us bite...(um, just don't pay any mind to my lion avatar right now!! LOL LOL Besides, I change it quite often!)

Nice to meet you!

You know what's kind of cool to do when you read the BOM? If you just read it like it's an actual book (real or not) you learn to really enjoy it and listen to the stories. It really is my favorite " book ". Instead of looking at every verse with a " yeah right" attitude...it's just more fun that way and I gained a better experience from it! Just something you can try if you're interested! :) Welcome to the site it's fun getting new people!!

Welcome! I'm new here myself, but there's some really nice people here who know a lot, I'm sure they'll help you out. I'm Catholic, not Mormon, but I really do hope you know that there is a God out there who loves you.

[Palerider]

Welcome to the site....hope you enjoy reading the Book of Mormon this time....it always helps me when I read the Childrens Book of Mormon first...anyway...welcome and hope you enjoy reading...:)

[Lindy]

Welcome to the board Angel! I love your avitar pic! :)

I wasn't always LDS... I joined the church after a lot of soul searching and prayer, I grew up with an agnostic and an atheist, so I kind of understand.

My first thought about you asking for that Book of Mormon was.... there is something there that you are missing and that little inner self knows it's in the book somewhere to be found.

UK huh? A little more moist there than it is here eh?

Anywho, again welcome to the board, and I hope you find what you need or are looking for again.

Look around and I think you may find some local help.

Don't just read the Book of Mormon, read it with prayer & fasting.

Glad you are here. Hope you stay with us.

Welcome Angel,

Those "feelings" are most likely whisperings of the Spirit.Heavenly Father loves us & wants will make us happy nothing is better than a Testimony of the Gospel & living its Principles.

England is pretty weird(I'm Scottish living in England),There are lots of Ward Buildings in the UK & we have two Temples-London(Lingfield) & Preston.

I am very happy to see you here.Join in the fun & the debate.

Hi SSAngel! SS?

I hope your father did not write BOM on the pack... or you might never get it!

One thing I noticed is that IF one can out those things on a shelf that one dose NOT understand right now... it will turn out ok later, when you have build up a strong enough basics to understande more. Many people want to understand it all right away... it is NOT possible! You understand one thing then it can take a year maybe more before you understand any more of it! The most important is NTO to deny the feeling, not to deny that whisper in you that tells you tis is true, no matter how weird it sounds right then!

Good hunting!
