  im a mormon now and have been one for the last 3 months.

  at first i really liked it but now i am starting to have 2nd thoughts, i grew up as a jehovahs witness and was disfellowshiped at 19 i really started to look for a new church in july of this year.

  i started out in a christian church which i really liked but i didnt understand the jesus as god thing/trinity.

  Hi Deserving,

  Thanks for posting your experience with us. In answer to your question, I have seen many go through those feelings that you have explained in your conversion steps as a Mormon.

  These feelings usually come to us sometimes triggered by the attention that your are getting from meeting new friends. Sometimes receiving their acceptance, encouragment, cheering us on has a enjoyable effect. It's sometimes called the honeymoon stage. You know what happens next.

  Next comes the bills, the loss of attention, the stories that people told you about are starting to seem true, reality....BOOM. The sparks start to dissapear. Oh, Oh. The realization that this is not paradise, this is another third world country.

  But, Deserving....don't feel bad about taking meds. Some have to take meds. Many of my friends take meds. I know they don't make you feel 100%, but they do help.

  The congregation was kind, today.

  i believe it was in paragraph 9, in the wt study.

  it mentioned something like "developing a romantic relationship with an unbeliever".. our congregation has had so many bad relationships with couples in the faith.

  so, that has inspired others to go outside of the org to find romance.

  i recall recieving a visit from two young mormons.

  these were elders, and had that title on their lapel badges.

  while discussing a few topics with them, they mentioned that there were approx 10 million active mormons.

  Yes, I was engaged to 5 sisters at a time. I didn't know that I was engaged, and there wasn't any rings, but apparently I was engaged to them.

  I swear I didn't not pop the question to anyone of these, but I to break up with all of them. Then, I had to choose only one. I chose neither.

  Boy, did I ever give the speech

  I think they hunt them down, to marry them, at least the younger women. The males are abducted and sent to Utah to answer to the Prophet.

  But, I really am speculating about some of this. I didn't ask the young Elders about that.

  i wish i could scan it and get your thoughts.

  it was a picture of a happy group of witnesses during a meeting for field service.

  there was a. comment from a local high-horse-rider about a brother in the front row in the picture being disobedient.

  Hamsterbait, good observation. You must have that 3 D version of the WT study article, eh? I've heard of those but, it's not available in our language yet.

  I recall recieving a visit from two young Mormons. These were Elders, and had that title on their lapel badges.

  While discussing a few topics with them, they mentioned that there were approx 10 Million Active Mormons. Then they mentioned something interesting that I didn't know before. I found out that my next door neighbours were Mormons. But, they said that they were inactive.

  I thought that these neighbours were very friendly and decent and honest people, but, here were two young inexperienced ones putting them down. How similar are we?
