Hi I'm new and not a mormon, just surfing through to see if I want to learn more or not.

Hi and welcome

Well, welcome. Would you like a tour of the place? Right here is our lovely forums and up above the button for the homepage. If you look above you can find the buttons to call the administrators in case you want to tattle on someone or find another poster. At the bottom of each post you can thank or laugh at cool posts. Feel free to practice right here on mine! Yes...that's right. And then there is the chat room to the right and personal messaging as well. I'm still trying to find where they put the room with all the refreshments. Tell me if you find it.

Welcome. In order to learn more you are in good hands ... just ask if you have questions.

So officially:
Dear Newbie: Welcome to LDS.net. You will find here an ecclectic mix of LDS and some non-members. While the site is dedicated to the Gospel, and to promoting the Church to a world that often does not understand us, we also make room for conversations about current events, and about social and cultural practices within the Church. If your main desire is to learn about the Church, consider starting with the "Learn About Mormonism" forums. For more advanced teachings, that will often include a variety of perspectives, some non-LDS, consider the Gospel section of forums.

While you are welcome to all main sections, be aware this site makes room for a variety of opinions and personalities. Some posters can be passionate about their views, and occasionally more so about them than about the souls of visitors. If you find something particularly offensive, feel free to make a report by clicking the appropriate tab.
