I pray they can come here and have a faith building experience…
As do I!
I’m sure we can all recognize that what may be faith building for one individual may be faith destroying for another. Most of us here live with that reality almost every Sunday as we attend church, that is why we gather here to lift and support each other.
We are very aware that other personalities with their unique views may find their faith supported on Sundays at church, and our discussions here would not benefit them. Our site is not for them, that’s just the way it is.
zeppelinate, This isn’t a support group to help people resolve their doubts. This is a support group for people trying to embrace their doubts, accept them, and then find a way to remain connected with the Church IN SPITE of those doubts. There is a wide variety of faith here. Some believe none of it, some believe some of it, some believe most of it… none believe all of it.
I appreciate your desire for faith support. I’m sure that there are many forums for such a venture. But this is not one of those sites. I also appreciate your frustration regarding the amount of blatant and uncompromising “anti” material on the web. But this isn’t one of those sites.
StayLDS has a very narrow focus that works incredibly well for the participants here. It isn’t even trying to meet needs of anyone outside of that band.

Hey, hold on a second … I believe every last bit of what I believe!
But seriously we recognize that nobody can simultaneously believe every last bit of all the ideas taught in church, because there are many that clash with each other. Everyone will pick and choose, holding tightest to what resonates with them personally. Around here we simply acknowledge what we are doing.
