Well, guys, I'd love for one of you to finish it. I would be interested to hear how you felt about the way he tied the characters and experiences altogether. I was quite touched but of course, I am no longer a believer. I am so, shocked at the division that I see among believers and others either nu...

I love this story my brother wrote to explain his faith transition with his very confused high priest group/ward member friends. Some just don't understand and continue to reach out to bring him back. I thought I would post a copy here in case others are trying to navigating this very sad and confus...

A saying that became far more meaningful in my faith transition is "It's always darker before the dawn". This is tough. I told you in another post that my hubby began all this and I was the TBM. Do you know he even moved forward and baptized our twin boys even though his heart and mind was not reall...

Oh boy, this is tough! I can relate to all you are saying because I was in your wife's situation a few years ago. Her sobbing and tears are out of loss and fear. Here once secure thoughts of eternal family is now being shattered in her mind. She doesn't want to talk about it because it is so painful...

I wish I could say something to help you feel better. It is devastating to reach the points you are expressing about Joseph Smith. Once upon a time he was one of the most amazing men to me. I honored and respected him so much. When I started to learn all the truth about Joseph, I was certain the thi...

Hi Bear, I am going to share my personal story.....A few years ago, my husband went through a job change. We had been self employed and with the economy problems at the time, our business of 14 years changed dramatically and it became necessary to find other employment. We had been successfully self...

Hi Roy, I had this exact same issue come up last year! My boys, now 9, were telling me all about the 3 degrees of glory and explaining to me about being together in the celestial kingdom if we are all good! This has bothered me so much that since we have moved out of state last summer, we have rarel...

Ok, i dont know how yo do the fancy quote box but Bill you say, "Thanks for the kind words.... It means so much to hear that especially in the midst of some of the faithful speaking ill of me and my work." Bill, you are doing so much good for so many, faithful speaking ill of you and your work? I'm ...

Hi All, Great post Keither. Boy, many of us can relate to this. I have been married 31 years!!! I was "the wife"! ;) For all of you struggling with spouses who don't understand, I just want to say I am so sorry. I am sorry for your pain and loneliness. If I could go back and erase the way I reacted ...

Thank you friends. A lot of thought provoking and insightful remarks have been made and I really appreciate your input. Because of my unwillingness to begin anyone else's faith crisis I navigate carefully when controversies are aroused. I do cringe, however, a bit at the misconceptions that are also...
