Re: I am Lookinghard
Well I am now a bit over 8 years ago before I started having some doubts. I really appreciate the folks in this forum helping me work through many issues. I came out to my wife over 3 years ago and I am still in a mixed-faith marriage. It threw her for a loop, but she has told me she appreciates tha...

Re: I took a big step on Sunday and it went good
Wow! It sounds like things went remarkably well. I'm happy you have the bishop you do. I've had bishops like that before but I've also had bishops who would probably have instigated a church court the minute I walked out of their office. I bet it felt good to just get all of that stuff off your che...

I took a big step on Sunday and it went good
I signed up for tithing settlement and went by myself with none of my family. I stopped paying last December. I handed him my recommend. (I had been quite honest with my last bishop on issues I had with church leaders and was surprised when he signed that one). So I let the bishop know I stopped pay...

Re: Is StayLDS at its end of life?
I do hope the site continues as I think it has a niche. Like SamBee has said, the anonymous nature of this forum allows those just dipping a toe into the less than fully TBM world is important. My participation has dropped way off for 2 reasons. One that had started before Covid was with my relation...

Re: Now I'm really confused
It could be either - it's up to you to decide what you believe. It seems we have similar LinkedIn habits, but it wasn't my experience, it was yours. If you believe it was a tender mercy it was a tender mercy. If you believe it was coincidence it was coincidence. Exactly what I was going to respond ...

Re: Unanswered Prayers and Mental Health
As I've aged, I find myself asking for less and less from God. Part of the reason is the frustration I felt when I would pray to God for so many things that were never delivered. It felt like I was sucking air through a straw rather than drawing deeply from a well of refreshment when I would pray. ...

Re: New faith crisis podcast
I got behind on my podcasts and just yesterday cleared the last of them. Don't take this as your podcast is "last on my list". Actually the opposite. I want to carefully listen to each one as it is probably my one last attempt at keeping activity in the church (something my wife would REAL...

Re: The Righteous Mind by Jonathan Haidt
After reading the book, I bought the audiobook so I could listen again - maybe a few times. I think I need to really understand what this book is saying about how people work. I think it will give me more understanding and sympathy for others.
