remember when you were a kid in closed-minded rural australia...well maybe i am reliving my childhood...but you get the idea. well, i remember growing up in a world where there was no other religion other than being a catholic...& you certainly didn't question it or dare to think the hip cute new priest in town was actually cute...i was 18!
as i grew up & saw the locals praying on sundays & banging someone else's husband/wife during the week, i started to question a few things. & no one could really answer my questions adequately. i have no idea why i was dressed up like a miniature bride & confirmed at the age of 12? the best thing about midnight mass on christmas eve was the drinking session at the local pub afterwards...
lets just say i got skeptical & ditched the whole religion thing. instead, i explored the world, different religious points of view & the spiritual world. & i am glad to say i am a better person for it.
the thing is, i keep bumping into the wonderful women of the church of latter day saints. i have been known to hide from answering the door when they come knocking at home, but in the blog world, they are the amazing crafters, mothers & bloggers that i follow & then realise they are LDS. then i pick a new book up & discover a few pages in that it is about a LDS family caught in the middle of the murder of their young daughters....so i am a tad curious. they are quite the community & they have such great support for one another. & big families to share the load......
must visit cjanes site & read some more.....
Hi! I'm LDS and I found your blog through your post on my happy little life. Have you checked out www.mormon.org? It explains some of our basic beliefs and lets you ask questions.
ReplyDeleteHi Kaz! I was reading people's comments about the post Kelly made about the Book of Mormon. I am also LDS. I have been blessed in so many ways with having the gospel in my life. Elise gave you a great source to learn more about our religion. If you want to have a more personal level and talk with someone, the missionaries would be more than happy to come visit with you. They can help you answer any unanswered questions you may have.
