The gospel has always been in my heart. I carry it with me no matter where I go. I just never felt comfortable with the culture. I am not your ordinary LDS woman. I am in my mid 40s and am even less relief society material than I was as a young woman.
In my world all are welcome. In my world people are not judged by their worldview. In my world we can disagree without hate by focusing on issues instead of personalities.
I am hoping to find like-minded individuals who will help me to rekindle my faith in organized religion. I cannot do this by myself.

Even Christ was not accepted by many in His own town. Joseph had more enemies in the church than those who were not members. So don't feel too bad in not being accepted by other members.
It is the Lord church and that is the only viewpoint you really need.
