exnonlds Posted November 25, 2009 Report Posted November 25, 2009 Hi All, I was posting on a forum that is operated by mainstream Christians that had a way of stacking the deck against the Latter-day Saints. I was kicked off a few times because I wouldn't always let them get away with the malarkey of the hard core enemies of the Church(who, of course, usually said they weren't) who posted there. I found it to be an exercise in futility. I won't go into the details, but I did learn that the best thing to do with those kinds who don't have serious questions is to not waste your time. The unfortunate thing I found was that most of the time when new folks would show up was that they would pretend to be interested in having questions answered only to find they were wolves in sheep's clothing. Recognizing there is opposition in all things, I hope to find something better here. Quote
pam Posted November 25, 2009 Report Posted November 25, 2009 Welcome..Keep in mind we find that here as well. Usually pretty easy to pick them out from the start. Quote
Maxel Posted November 25, 2009 Report Posted November 25, 2009 Welcome to the site exnonlds! Does your name mean you're a convert to the Church? I assume that's what an ex-non-LDS is... Quote
Maya Posted November 25, 2009 Report Posted November 25, 2009 Hi and welcome... Pam already said what I was going to say. Anyway we have a ball here so welcome! 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. Quote
