Hi, I’ve already had an interview with my bishop regarding m e breaking the law of chastity. He told me what to do in my process of repentance. However, for the three or four weeks following my interview, I became weak and gave in to my weaknesses and to the temptations and did things close to […] (November 10, 2011, 3 comments)
Hi, I read from some church book (I think it’s The Miracle o f Forgiveness) that in order to fully repent of our sins, in this case, shoplifting, we have to restore what we took. I already talked to my bishop and I plan to pay money in replace of what I took. I just want […] (November 8, 2011, 1 comment)

I have had many highs and lows in the church. I was excommun icated 16 years ago but remained active until my re-baptism 4 years ago. I went to the temple (What a Joy!) one year after my baptism and delved into genealogy which kept me busy doing temple work. Then everything changed. I was diagnosed […] (November 7, 2011, 2 comments)
I am only 14 years old. I wish I could take the past several years of my life. Let meat art from the beginning. I have committed two horrible sins. The first one is swearing and the second one deals deeply with the law of chastity. As I write this, I am bawling and I […] (October 31, 2011, 2 comments)
I Love Being a Mormon. Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints worldwide gather twice yearly for what they call “general conference.” I have been a member of the Church of Jesus Christ ever since I was born. I love this gospel so much, it is hard to put into words. This gospel is my life. I […] (October 16, 2011)
About 15-20 years ago, I went through a bad time. On the out side, I was this perfect little mormon girl who never did anything wrong, but inside I was screaming for help. Unfortunately for me, I am a great actress and nobody knew I was falling apart. I lied, I stole, and I shoplifted, all […] (October 16, 2011, 1 comment)
Joseph Smith a Prophet. Joseph Smith was the first president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He received a message from God to restore Christs ancient church in modern times.

Grateful to Share my Testimony. The North Visitors’ Center on Temple Square has an 11-foot replica of Thorvaldsen’s Christus on display. Wow. I am so grateful for this chance to share my testimony here. Public speaking scares me, so I have a hard time in testimony meeting. I do know Heavenly Father lives and I do know that he loves […] (October 13, 2011)
I Found Out for MYSELF. I knew Joseph Smith was a prophet when I found out for MYSELF, through prayer. Not just praying for nothing and expecting an answer. But praying with a desire to know the truth. The answer has been given to me through the Spirit, and I have a testimony that Joseph Smith was a Prophet, and […] (October 12, 2011)
As I seriously study some of the greek and hebrew one of my questions I have with mormons is the word Jehovah Elohim. Can the word Jehovah Elohim be singular to refer to the Lord Jesus Christ?

Isnt their some parrellels between the Pearl of great price in the Book of Moses that the Lord revealed through the prophet Joseph Smith and the book of enoch? There seems to be some similiarites between the two books which bring out restored gospel truths (October 10, 2011, 1 comment)
Labor Relations Calling. How do your values encourage you to participate in civic affairs? Honesty is a very important principle in my calling of labor relations when dealing with the workplace of social injustice of workers being mistreated wrongly by their employers. Honesty and integerty play a very important role when I am representing workers who are being […] (October 10, 2011)
He Restoreth my Soul. Jesus Christ is central to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which bears His name.

Hi! I have a boyfriend who is LDS. We’re in high school and we’ve been together for almost 5 months.

So I am in the military, and made what I now consider to be a hasty and mindless decision to convert to the church when I was in basic training. After a few months, I kind of fell away from the church, and went back to my old ways, committing several sins along the way […] (September 18, 2011, 2 comments)
I had ask if LDS respect the American Flag.. You answered so meone else by wondering if they had actually meant Jehoval’s witnesses… Your answer was that you absolutely did respect the American Flag.

I’m trying to get my life organized and I don’t want […] (September 11, 2011, 2 comments)
The Book of Mormon, The Word of God. We believe the Bible is the Word of God, His sacred revelation to ancient prophets and apostles. I have studied both the Bible and Book of Mormon through study, pondering, comparing, and prayer and I have recieved a living testimony by the Holy Ghost burning in my bosom from head to toe that the Bible […] (September 8, 2011)
Alright. I’m LDS, I’m straight, and I do believe that homose xual behavior is a sin. I am against it, however I understand the fact that genetics play a large part and that many don’t consider it “wrong.” Anyway, I personally support same-sex marriage, not because I agree with it, but I feel people deserve it. […] (September 1, 2011, 3 comments)
Firstly thank you for answering my question the other day – it certainly has taken a lot off my mind.

Hello! I’ve been reading your web-site and I have to say it’ s well put together. I’m a “curious george” when it comes to Religion and Christianity. I’ve been researching the LDS Church (I know LDS members don’t like the the term “Mormon Church”). I’m feeling a little pull towards towards the Church and I have […] (August 18, 2011, 4 comments)
Stephen Colbert Praises Mormons. Praise like this from a man whose job it is to ridicule is quite remarkable! (August 16, 2011)
Is exaltation no longer available for latter day saints who are wayward, fallen off the straight and narrow and die with unresolved sins? Is there any hope for such as one to do a 180 and repent in the post mortal world leading up to the final judgment? Or, is this merely wishful thinking? (August 3, 2011, 3 comments)
Hi. I don’t understand Mormon history. If, according to your founder Joseph Smith, polygamy was fundamental to your faith, why did you change God’s commandment, abandoning polygamy? Why was it changed, if it was a commandment from God? (August 1, 2011, 1 comment)
I’ve made such a terrible mistake! I broke the law of chasti ty, and I feel just terrible. And now I’ve gone inactive, making the situation even worse. Can I ever be forgiven? Can I still be married in the temple? Can I still wear white on my wedding day? (Adapted from a question posted in […] (August 1, 2011, 2 comments)
