Thank you 🩷 I'm mostly just learning about the LDS faith at the moment. It was suggested to me to speak with missionaries. I wanted a less mainstream church, that's how I found them. I just wanted to make sure they weren't a cult or anything lol

@Stargazer Oh wow, I'm dumb! Thank you ❤️ I didn't realize Rose was so popular lol

Thank you ❤️

What a blessing 🩷 I cared for two of my grandmother's before they passed, I still treasure that time with them very much. Wishing you lots of great memories.

Thank you! What made you no longer want to be a member? If I may ask.

I share some of the same concerns. I have for quite awhile with most denominations. I began feeling this way once I started reading scripture for myself, instead of relying on whichever church I was attending to teach me their version. I don't have any issues with traditions, I enjoy some myself. I just think they should be treated as what they are, traditions. Not passed on as the word of God or teachings of Christ. I always find it concerning when a particular denomination is more focused on having you see things their way, rather than saving your soul.

I'm not sure how to tag people yet, so I just quoted you both. If either of you are curious. Here's a documentary by Peter Santenello that includes some of the members of that particular branch. They also have a website with other teachings and podcasts. Some of them have Benjamin Schaefer as a guest. I guess I spelled his last name right? I've only seen the documentary so far. I haven't looked into else yet really. I will when I have some more time. https://youtu.be/eIlcTsjXi-4?si=ZuCL1zVvYy6JFCjj

Thank you again! I'm going to have to study the restoration more. I'm still very new to all of this, so I'm trying to get a better understanding of it in general. A few people have recommended that I reach out to the missionaries to learn more. This particular church also offered to give me a call. They seem more traditional on the outside. I'm considering speaking with their missionaries. I thought I'd here first if anyone had any experience with them. By the way, i've been reading The Unseen Realm and i'm completely fascinated! It's answered so many questions I've had over the years that most Christians refuse to discuss or acknowledge. I'm excited to read the one about Angels next. I forget the name at the moment.

That would certainly explain your need for attention.

Has anyone had any personal experience with Christ's Church: The Righteous Branch? I've watched a few videos and find them a bit interesting. I was hoping to get the scoop on them and what they're about.

Oh yes, you're certainly right there as well. When I said "more options," I meant that in some plural marriages, women have more choices. Such as pursuing a career or being more family centered, some times they also rotate between the two. 😂

I'm not sure what you mean? Also, I just realized I can quote multiple responses at once. Sorry for the spam lol

Thank you!

Yes, you're right. I just don't believe marriage was always a stable and supportive way for women to survive. Even my own grandmothers and great grandmothers worked during their marriages. Then they later became young single mothers when their husbands left or young widows when they passed away. They just continued to work and provide for their families as many women these days do.
