My introduction

[richardheaton]

My name is Rich Heaton. I live with my wife in Mission Viejo, California and am 59 years old. Three of our four children live close by, with the other one in Japan. I am looking to join an interesting forum and contribute to it.:)

Welcome to the site Rich.

Welcome sir. :)

Welcome! I hope you will enjoy this forum!

So officially:

Welcome to LDS.net. You will find here an ecclectic mix of LDS and some non-members. While the site is dedicated to the Gospel, and to promoting the Church to a world that often does not understand us, we also make room for conversations about current events, and about social and cultural practices within the Church. If your main desire is to learn about the Church, consider starting with the "Learn About Mormonism" forums. For more advanced teachings, that will often include a variety of perspectives, some non-LDS, consider the Gospel section of forums.

While you are welcome to all main sections, be aware this site makes room for a variety of opinions and personalities. Some posters can be passionate about their views, and occasionally more so about them than about the souls of visitors. If you find something particularly offensive, feel free to make a report by clicking the appropriate tab.
