MorningStar Posted September 8, 2007 Report Share Posted September 8, 2007 Hi! Welcome to the board! I'm glad you came here and I hope I will be able to answer some of the questions you have. If not, I could at least give you good recipes, jokes, links to good music, and support. :) I was born and raised in the church and I love it. As you have questions, you'll be encouraged to start separate topics on each one. I know people often have many questions, but it's easier to address one at a time. What are some of your hobbies? :) MorningStar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deblldo Posted September 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 hi thanks for the welcome . i have lots of questions as im only just learning, and bare in in i have been baptist for 14 years so some of it hard to get my head around but i am willing and open to listen. hobbies i guess are reading,watching movies and playing with my kids. my eldest is 10, then 8 and my youngest is 2. i got interested when they spoke to me about baptizing for the dead as i have lost both my parents and cant believe the baptist teaching of if you dont say a prayer then God sends you to hell for all enternity. my new friends invited me to their church on sunday however i still had obligations to my church and if im honest i just wasnt ready.

That's perfectly understandable. :) It's a different experience going to a church you've never been to. I dated an Evangelical guy many years ago and I was pretty nervous about trying his church out. It was OK, but I felt a little awkward not knowing when to stand up and all that, not knowing the songs, and just the different style of worship.I'm the mom of three boys who are 7, 5, and 3. Do you have boys and girls? I think we will have a girl eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garden Girl Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Hello deb and welcome!! This is a good site for your questions... you can start threads on various topics... another thing you might keep in mind is that there are LDS sites where you can read papers and articles on various topics... such as FAIRlds.org, which has a Topical Guide. You can browse there, and then ask questions here... I think you'll enjoy it here... from the beautiful central Oregon coast... The Garden Girl (what area are you from?)
