And why do I want him to join the church so badly? Because I believe in it!
I just don't feel its a very endearing concept to investigators or even converts like myself. Maybe it will take time...and while I'm not going to jump on the godhood bandwagon any time soon, and I do not have a testimony of it despite the great responses on here,I feel assured that my over all testimony isn't going to be hindered like i worried it would be yesterday.

I've read all the posts - phew! When I read this post of yours, I had been thinking all along that the main source of your upset was that your husband was hearing this talk. I think the way the talk was presented (given your statements about it) would also make me a little uncomfortable. There have been times when I've been in Sacrament and had a talk concern me -- I know that I can pray and receive answers about the talk, but I will be concerned with the investigators hearing such talks. I'm a fairly new convert too and what seams to settle my heart and mind most is to always go back to why I joined the Church, my testimony. I know that I am learning 'line upon line.' It's good to hear your husband can focus on the good things about the Church. That alone will take him a long way.
