I’ve just joined today, I have a strong testimony of the church, I’m very active and I would like to give a English point of view for any problems you have with the gospel in America (big cultural difference) have any questions just ask Welcome. We do have our regular contributor SamBee from across the pond, but more are always welcome. So long as we all maintain forum etiquette and respect for the opinions of each other all is well. We are always glad to have another chap join in. This site is quite different than most. It is probably the most accepting site you will find, but we don’t fight or put down others or their opinions/beleifs. You can be just as accepted here as an atheist exmo as a TBM. I just wouldn’t expect 2 people on opposite ends of that spectrum to always be able to even comprehend the other’s point a view.
I have listened to many podcasts from Gina Colvin (a Kiwi) and she has opened my eyes even more to how American-centric the church is. I don’t even live near Utah and I just have a big question mark above my head when the church makes a press announcement about local health care in Utah. I am sure it is a bit the same feeling, just amplified a few orders of magnitude.
Welcome. Glad to have you join in. Can you give us more of your background or history?
It helps us to understand who you are.
Where you’re coming from. (In the spiritual sense.)
Some of us have always been strong in our faith.
Some have gone through a crisis, adjusted their belief system & moved on.
Some continue to struggle & may leave altogether, for a period of time or forever.
I was born into the church and grew up in it, I just felt the spirit and just accepted what I was taught. I didn’t go on a mission, I got married at 19 sealed in the temple, have children, and have served as young men’s counselor, elders quorum president, ward clerk and nursery. I’m just starting to deeply look more into the creation which is very interesting, also I love the topic of the second coming, love walking dead, family guy etc. Kings of Leon and foo fighters best music. But I’m VERY GRATEFUL for what life skills I’ve learnt from church Welcome, EnglishMormon. It’s great to have somebody from England in our mist. I also like the Walking Dead. I hardly ever watch Family Guy anymore, but I do watch the Cleveland Show quite a bit. I’ll be looking forward to hear from your perspectives. Hi, EnglishMormon. :wave: Glad you’re here. I’m looking forward to hearing about your journey, and to having another person around using words like “whilst.”Ann wrote:Hi, EnglishMormon.

Ah yes. “whilst” – the dead give away that someone is from across the pond. Just to be clear – no offense intended. As has been said – the US and England are two countries divided by a common language.
