Recent thank you email:
I just found your site. I have been absolutely drowning and alone with my doubt. Serious serious doubt. But I love Mormonism. I believe there is true beauty in many of the teachings . . . there is so much about it that makes me happy and I have no desire to leave it. I truly feel like ya’ll have just thrown me a life saver.
Thank you for the time you put in to helping people like me.
These never fail to inspire me.
Your ‘How to Stay in the Church’ document is just fantastic, I find it very inspiring. It knows right where I am and offers me a road map moving forward. I have read it again and again since I discovered it last summer. After a two-year love affair with Catholicism, I have decided not to divorce Mormonism after all but to remain in the church. I am convinced God does move in the Mormon church and that it can make saints out of people.
So much of the problem is criticism and negativity. That is what destroys faith; doubt does not. I am reminded of John 3:17, God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through him might be saved.” God did not send me into the world, or the church, to condemn it either.
Bless you for the good that you do,

From a recent email received at the admin mailbox:
Thank you for providing the web site. I have had a few struggles, and it was good to see that others have struggled with some of the same things. I love the church, and I accept it. I have freaked out a few folks when I say something to the effect that, “I don’t want a sanitized version of Joseph Smith. I want to hear about the whole man, warts and all.” At first, finding out some of the oddities of his past injured my testimony, but over time, it made me feel closer to him. He was a human being. A regular, common man, but a common man with incredible devotion. I can buy that.
And I prefer the term “truest” church to “true” church. I think the “true church” is the abode where Christ and Heavenly Father exist…by the time it gets implemented by regular human beings it ends up being “truest”. “Truest” gives some wiggle room, it allows for less than ideal members in their less-than ideal” execution of their callings and personal life. just my .02.
Thank you again!
Have there been any recent “Thank You” letters? Just curious. Not really any “thank you” letters in a little while. There have been a few people contacting the Admin with questions. I still get those emails occasionally. I try to take time to talk to them via email, but I also encourage them to join the forums so they can get other opinions from our community. Well here you go. Ask, and ye shall receive:
Thanks for the website and information. It’s been very helpful to me as I’ve started down a new road of discovery, rediscovery, questioning, learning, doubting, lost beliefs, new beliefs, and trying to find balance.
Much appreciated to you and all involved.
