S. Stormy she/her Posted July 7, 2023 Report Share Posted July 7, 2023 Aw, I'm going to FSY soon and I'm so excited! Also there was just an article about services the Church has provided to needy where I am, and guess what? They used the correct name of the Church! Not a "mormon" in sight! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2EmLee2 she/her Posted July 11, 2023 Report Share Posted July 11, 2023 I was just thinking… what if some of us are going to FSY at the same campus in the same week? It would be awesome if we could somehow meet up! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Paradoxical Phenomenon he/him Posted July 11, 2023 Report Share Posted July 11, 2023 Yeah, I’m going to UNC Wilmington for mine, and there aren’t a lot of people from the south on the shard.

S. Stormy she/her Posted July 22, 2023 Report Share Posted July 22, 2023 Ahh, I'm supposed to give a talk in church tomorrow and my bishop only told me this yesterday. Did I do anything about it yesterday? No. So here we go. Writing a talk in one day. I want a lot longer to get used to the idea.

Cone Slice Posted July 22, 2023 Report Share Posted July 22, 2023 (edited) Hate to break it, but I don't believe in the LDS church or currently any religion atm. I haven't told anyone and I'm too afraid because I fear judgement, but because I only have one year left before I move out, I'll just stick to pretending I'm still a part of the religion for my parents and friends in high school. I have many reasons as to why I no longer believe, and I don't think any convincing can bring me back. I just don't see any of the religious texts as credible anymore at all, so quoting them won't help either. I sound close minded, but the reason why I left was because I considered both sides of the argument being that Christianity and the Mormon church is true vs untrue.

We all have doubts, and I'm proud of you for considering the sides of the arguments. If you don't think it fits for you, that's okay. Know that we love you and always will. But, I know you said you don't think any convincing can work, but can I say something in a PM to you, if you're fine with that. If you don't want to, that's totally fine. It's up to you if you want to do it, all I'm saying. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eran of Arcadia Posted July 23, 2023 Report Share Posted July 23, 2023 I was assigned a talk on Tuesday to give today. But for some reason my wife wanted to be the third speaker so if my talk is too short that's her problem. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morningtide she/her Posted July 23, 2023 Report Share Posted July 23, 2023 My stake just rearranged boundaries and I'm a bit sad. Id been in my old ward for 5 years and almost nobody from that is in my new one! My house is in a weird place so we knew that we weren't going to be with most people from our former ward, but they did something funny and my whole street got shuffled a mile away into a ward where we don't know anyone. And to make matters worse, basically the only change to our new ward is the addition of my street, so everyone will already know each other! Feeling kinda stressed but we're in an amazing area and I'm sure the new ward will be nice. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had new boundaries implemented a few months ago, (we didn’t change wards) but I remember moving to a new house within our stake and knowing no one. It was stressful, but now I know people from several wards so stake activities are really cool because now I know tons of people! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lego Mistborn he/him Posted July 25, 2023 Report Share Posted July 25, 2023 I love church summer camps. And seminary. I love learning about the gospel and focusing on feeling the spirit. Trek was a mind refresh this year and it really helped me to refocus on what is important and I hope to keep this new mindset. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I agree, when I am focused early morning seminary is a really good way to start the day. However, I’ve also found that it can be very hard to focus when I’m tired. I wish I could have Sanderfan teachers, that would be awesome. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
