I totally disrespect Joe Smith. He was an evil adulterer con man who duped millions of naive people. He’s likely in hell with the demons that inspired the Mormon lies. I hope Romney isn’t our next president knowing how messed up Mormonism is from first hand experience.
Good luck with all of this. I hope as time goes by that you being Mormon and all that entails (is your husband ok with you tithing? is he going to be ok with you having to wear the temple garment 24/7? ) doesn’t cause a rift between you two.
Yeah…I agree…as time goes by and he doesn’t convert…it is going to be more and more difficult. I don’t wish that situation on anyone.
You should see us at Starbucks…talk about AWKWARD!
Paul,
LatterDayLadyYou should see us at Starbucks…talk about AWKWARD!
Just kidding… Seriously, I got the husband-thing covered. No worries.
Why is it so hard for folks on this thread to accept the idea that people can be LDS and happy, with a stable marriage and adequate decision-making abilities without scandal or deceit? Have I suggested that about Catholics? Have I said anything derogeratory about your beliefs? Is there not heartbreak with some Catholic families, just as in LDS families? Would it be fair to list all the unhappy Catholics, or Baptists, or Quakers and use that as a global judgment on all of that faith? I get it – this is a Catholic forum. But to assume that anyone here has some special insight about my marriage is crazy! Really, we’re fine.
I am just pointing out you are a NEWBIE to Mormonism. Which means you dont know a lot. And if you dont know a lot, then neither does your husband. You haven’t lived it, breathed it , for very long. And it hasnt had much time to impact your marriage (family?).
Exactly.
Really, we’re fine.
You arent even a year out from baptism. You havent been thru the temple yet. There is so much more to come.
No, really. We’re fine!
Like I said, you ARE A NEWBIE. That is a factual statement. You have just begun the Mormon journey. That is a factual statement. You are so much in the “honeymoon” stage of Mormomdom.No, really. We’re fine!
Y’all will be the first to know when the marriage goes South
Does your husband know that you now believe that in the next life you will be married (sealed) to a new husband (chosen by some man you never even met) and all of your children and grandchildren will be sealed to him as well? And that your new husband will be his children’s new father and his grandchildren’s new grandpa?Y’all will be the first to know when the marriage goes South
(Paul, dont forget to tell her about the new husband’s other wife(ves). She may not know she is gonna have to share with other women. )
Yes, and her “sister wives” will also be chosen by someone she and her new husband have never met.
Please, please stop worrying about me and my long-suffering husband. We’re fine! I’m happy being LDS. The “clever” insights posted about me, my beliefs, and my perceived lack of ability to navigate a marriage come across to me as snippy, sarcastic, and off-putting. I simply posted my opinion about the young missionaries with a brief reference to my former Catholic membership. The outpouring of subsequent responses are funny to a degree, but in no way does it make me want to rejoin your ranks, or at least your congragations. The Catholics I know are loving and welcoming, as I posted earlier. The priests I know are fabulous men with wisdom and giving hearts. Good thing, otherwise I’d think all Catholcs are like many of you lot who poked fun and named called. Provocative, maybe, but not frendly or attractive.
I wonder if your husband shares your optimism. Perhaps he is completely ignorant of your new beliefs or just doesn’t want to antagonize you, sure in his belief that this is just a phase that you will eventually snap out of. That’s how my dad handled it when my mom joined the LDS at the same time my brother, sister and I joined.
