Default Investigator who's practically a member ;)

Hey guys, my name's Ashley. I'm a senior in high school and have been going to church, sunday school, and young women's since August and started seminary this year. No one in my family is a member and they're all pretty wary of the church, but I've just been finding my own way and loving it. I'm at that point where I really know all the basics and understand a lot of the tougher questions, but am just waiting to really know for myself if it's all true before I get baptized. So I'll just be lurking around here reading through discussions and asking my own questions every one in a while

Welcome Ashley. Take the good you find here and enjoy. The bad disregard.

Welcome! Both my sisters joined the Church when they were in their teens -- our parents never did join and I joined just 5 years ago. My parents were always wishy-washy -- one moment they were ready to be baptized then they would change their minds. My sisters were great examples to me -- they truly lived the gospel and as family we all got along great.

When my husband and I were sealed we also did the work for my parents -- it was a glorious day.

Glad you're around -- it will be fun supporting you!

Welcome Ashley! Enjoy teh ride!

So officially:
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.

I liked the question you asked about Jesus as the Eternal Father. =) Glad you're here and welcome!
