Cat, I hope you don't mind that I have been reading what this discussion is about, and I can understand why the questions and inner thoughts on this topic, espceially if raised in Catholic religion. The reason I say that is, I was not only raised in Catholic religion, but I had immediate relatives who were so devoted to the religion that one is a priest, and the other a nun. Makes life interesting if other family members are little he**raisers. Not that I was one....cough cough!  But I am interested in hearing more about the Mormon church group you have become a family member of, as I did that same thing and still have ties to them. I joined about 10 yrs ago, when I still lived in USA, but have been here in England 10yys now and only have opportunity to chat with them on weekends. Which state are you in over there in states?

Hi Beth, I live in Baltimore, Maryland. My mom's family is very catholic. You'd think I was going  to h*** for leaving the church. So you joined in 1998? Which ward? in which State and County? Have you joined a ward in your area now?

Steph, more Christians do daily works outside the church within the public. I used to always think that churches were the place to go to get 'back on track' but that the outside world is where things get done.Letting your inner spirit shine thru makes a world of difference to people. I do agree with you, that when we get older we may consider getting back into church, but for right now I get more goodwill done by being out and about amongst people. Keep a kind word on your lips, a prayer in your heart, faith in your own choices, and keep on going!  But..I could be wrong! LOLSmile

You and Peter are right. There are a lot of church going people who don't practice what they preach. I remember when having troubles at church that it is not the church that is wrong, it is the people that cause problems. We are all human and prone to mistakes. No one is perfect. The best thing going is the atonement. At least we can be forgiven for our sins as long as we sincerely repent of them.

Stephanie, I think you are doing a great job. Before I could find a church to belong to I raised Elsie as a Christian and read to her all the time about it. Tried to teach her right from wrong, how to treat other people, etc. For the most part she has a good foundation. She is just a teenager now who is rebelling and wants body piecings and tattoos! Yell I have faith she will return to her foundation one day! Keep up the good work!

Good Morning Peter, No, I didn't realise that but thank you for telling me, Laughing I can feel the coward in me coming through as I speak, all I know is if I cut myself and bled a pint I would probably pass out, beginning to wonder why I agreed to do this. Laughing

Hi Lyn,

I am delighted to see that you are going to donate blood. congratulations. did you know that only about 5 percent of people eligible to donate actually do. We constantly need blood products and especially welcome new donors.

I am sure you will find that the staff will take excellent care of you and you will soon recover from donating your pint! (Well, it is 470 mls in todays money.) Most donors keep coming back, so the experience is not as bad as you might think.

Regards, Ray.

Hi Ray, thanks for that, I feel better already, it is something I have always wanted to do but like many people I have never got around to it until now, my daughter and I are donating our arm full next Monday.
