Well, Hello... I honestly can't believe you guys kept this community going. I mean for awhile after I removed it form my friends. I actually totally forgot I had this community. I feel so bad for leaving you guys in way, because you guys never hurt me. In fact, a lot of you I am still close with over the LJ's and well maybe I can be example of how life is after the church. Yes, I am admitting it I did leave the church. Some, of you know all the stories. I can't say my happiness has improved or decreased. I still believe the church is true. Although, I am so far from the church I am still not ready to go back. I don't have enough energy to go back into that church. Yes, since I ahve left the church I have loved my freedom, but the 4 years I was in the church the world changed so much. It's insane when I know 8 women/teenagers pregnant and none of them are married or thinking about it.

Well, I just wanted to stop by and say "hello" to ya all, and thank you for trying your hardest to keep this commmunity going. I mean, really you guys post in this community more after I had abandon you then when I was here making a lot of the posts. I promise to check back more often, and maybe we can get this more of inspirational place. So, that the one's that are barely still holding onto the gosple know that you can get inspiration right here, and know the reason why you are in the True Church of Jesus Christ!

Love Always, Tara aka President of community

The weirdest essay I'll ever write...

Alright, for my English Literature class that I'm talking, (grade 12 highschool level) we brainstormed a list of topics that we could write an essay about Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. I chose the comparisonn to the Old and New Testament. I really thought it was an intriguing idea so I ran with it. For those of you that know the poem about the Green Knight, then I guess you can read on. Comments are greatly appreciated. I just found it odd...

Yo. Hello there.

I am not a kick butt Mormon as required by your rules...But don't kick me out yet--bear with me for a moment.

Anyway, I come from Sydney in Australia, and if you guys have ever been here, you'd be hard pressed trying to find Mormons. Lots of Buddhists, Muslims, Jews, Agnostics, Jehovah's Witnesses, Atheists, Catholics, Protestants, and heck, even the odd Satanist (however that's rare...).

I've never really met a Mormon, and basically I don't know much about the Mormon religion and I want to find out about it. I can't really ask people here, lots of people here think the religion of the Mormons is a joke and hence I can't really trust their word for it...so I thought, "Hey, why don't I ask someone who IS a Mormon?!" and then was faced with the horrid dilemma that I didn't know anyone who was.

So here I am, asking you guys about it because I want to know more about it. The only things I know about the Mormon religion is that a man by the name of Joseph Smith founded the Church of Jesus of Latter Day Saints and that the place inhabited with the most Mormons is Salt Lake City...I think that's right...

But anyways, many thanks, and God bless =)

Heck yes. I'm very excited.

Reason number 1: Smallville is on tonight

Reason number 2: I'm going to lagoon on saturday for work, and I get to hang out with some friends I don't get to see very often.

Reason number 3: Nick left on his mission. I don't know why, but missionary work = overwhelming joy and excitement. I am going to miss hanging out with him though.

Reason number 4: I only have to work here for 2 more months, then I'm going on a mission.

I've been overly happy for a month or two now, it still hasn't worn off. In fact, it seems like I'm getting happier every day. I would go on about why, but nobody cares. Haha, things are great.

X-Posted Everywhere, ok? I've never posted in here, so..... Hi.

I met President Monson and Elder Wirthlin today at Regional Conference.

President Monson wiggled his ears in his talk.

It was frickin rad.

Melodramtic post, watch out! What would be a reason to stay in the church? I believe it's true, but I also believe the perfect fondation has been destoryed. Please, give me some reasons...

The reason why this community hasn't been so active is well, because of me. I know... Sorry, guys for the disappointment in this community, but I haven't had the LDS Spirit to keep it updated. I do, though want to keep this community up, and running even if I leave the church...

Thank you all; for joining, and having "Some" priticiation in this community.

Hey, I just joined this commununity and I immediately thought of a question I had... I hope its not too 'heavy' or makes anyone mad, but I just wanted to know what people thought.

Why do guys say they want girls to be modest and then turn around and ask immodest girls to homecoming? A few of my LDS guy friends are asking non-lds girls to homecoming and people don't attack me here because my problem is not with them asking people who are members. But it just seems sad to me that all the lds guys are asking girls who don't have high standards (and don't get me wrong, because i have known these guys most of my life and they do have high standards in other areas... so this is really confusing to me) And the girls who do have high standards are not getting asked. It just seems strange to me... I have a lot of beautiful, fun friends who don't have dates for Homecoming because all their friends are asking immodest girls.

Hola! Hey everyone... I joined this community a while back but haven't had time to post or anything like that for a while. So yeah, introducing myself now. My name's Sabrina, I just graduated High School this last June (yay for that), I'm from Southern California and I've been a member all my life but it took various trials within the past 2-3 years to get me to really commit myself to the church. Um... Oh! I just went to EFY in Utah a week or so ago. That was cool... Oh, and I love singing, dancing, listening to music, and hanging with my friends... Yeah... that's about it... anything else you want to know, just ask! I hope to get to know you all soon! :o)

Looking for a freelance artist... Does anyone happen to know someone who is LDS who can draw in an anime/manga/cartoon style who would want to do some freelance work...hopefully inexpensively?

I have someone lined up to create the image I want...but since it's for an LDS audience, I'm being encouraged by others to hire a Mormon instead to create the picture for me. But I have no idea how to first find a Mormon who does freelance work, and second who can do anime/mange style artwork.

So if you can, or know someone who can email me at eclectic-dreams@hotpop.com.

Thanks

An interesting idea x-posted in ldsfriends

From http://www.wilwheaton.net/mt/archives/001639.php

WWdN reader Drew sent me the following note earlier today:

I will send you an invitation for the hard to get Gmail if you post something on your site telling others to give their invites to troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. See, Google gives 1 gig of email space, perfect for movies and pictures from home, but it's invite only. When you get an account you will get invites too, and if you could pass them along to those who need em that would rule.

As someone who just got a gmail account (no invitations to give out yet), I personally find it to be wonderful to use. I also agree that this would be a great way to help our soldiers overseas.
