Where do I start?
Hello. Yes. That was a good start. Now what?
Um. Hi. Yes, I said that already sorry. I'm nervous. Maybe I should just spill the beans already!! I used to be mormon. I used to be a really strong mormon. Then I fell away. I then got into the occult. After that I went into Christianity and thrived off of the information from anti mormon sites. And now? Now I claim to be mostly Agnostic....but lately...something is pulling at heart...and my mind. I can't describe it. Maybe I can blame Facebook. I got in touch with some people from my very distant past. And they are momons from my very first ward as a child. Maybe. But it was something before that that made me go searching for them in the first place. Oh I dunno. Anyways. I'm 30. Married to an atheist. I am American, he is English and we live in the UK. I am a large woman, always have been always will be. I have sooo many issues with mormon doctrine...but for now I am taking it slow. I have had my dad send me a BOM (its in the mail,lol) so that I can reread it and decide. I just need the foundation. The rest of the doctrine doesn't matter to me right now. Living in England is weird. I haven't met a single mormon. Nor have I seen a mormon church! How weird!!!! Anyways. That's me a in nutshell. Please be nice, I'm a fragile soul at the moment!

Welcome!
There is plenty to do here on this site. Of course, there are threads about the gospel, but there are also threads that are just plain fun or wacky. I don't think any of us bite...(um, just don't pay any mind to my lion avatar right now!! LOL LOL Besides, I change it quite often!) Nice to meet you! ~TG

You know what's kind of cool to do when you read the BOM? If you just read it like it's an actual book (real or not) you learn to really enjoy it and listen to the stories. It really is my favorite " book ". Instead of looking at every verse with a " yeah right" attitude...it's just more fun that way and I gained a better experience from it! Just something you can try if you're interested!
 Welcome to the site it's fun getting new people!!

Where do you start.........
Let's start at the very Beginning.. a Very good place to start.... Baby Steps is what you take...... and hold on to the IRON ROD... I am thinking that the LORD IS pulling at your heart strings...... Lean on Him..... He will guide you through......... Remember you are Child of God.... Remember the song? I am a Child of God and He has sent me here, Has given me an earthly home, With Parents kind and dear. Lead me guide me, Walk beside me, help me find the way, Teach me all that I must DO, To live with him some day. I am a Child of God, and so my needs are great. Help me understand his words before it grows to late. Lead me guide me, Walk beside, help me find the way, Teach me all that I must DO, To live with him some day. I am a Child of God, rich blessings are in store, If I but learn to to his will. I'll Live with him once more. Lead me guide me, Walk beside, help me find the way, Teach me all that I must DO, To live with him some day.
