poptart Posted April 8, 2018 Posted April 8, 2018 I decided to give the ward another try for reasons. After having gone through the pure hell I did and have my mental health tank, an old friend of mine offered what help he could. Honestly, I've really grown to appreciate the LDS church even more lately, besides my mental health tanking, I'm more or less coming out. My friends brother came out as full on gay a long time ago and was excommunicated over it. Family and well, some of the ward still cares. That and I've found out the LDS church is funding a ton of LGBT shelters in Utah, even Elder Holland had a conversation where he urged the parishoners to lay off with hating on the LGBT community, about the only people i'd expect to see do that would be Catholic Clergy (some). Wow, just wow. That, and i've more or less hit the reset button on my life and am changing careers, combined with my own mental issues, well, my friend even said it I need people. As it is, I'm in a pretty scary and vulnerable place right now, knowing a decient bishop may not be such a bad thing after all. TBH, i've never been that religious but i'll give credit where credit is due, besides the Catholic Church, so far from what i've seen the LDS church is stepping up even more, I can nit pick on details all I like, at this point after seeing what I have, well I'm more open to association with the LDS church, even though I am, well, more or less out and have very different beliefs. Also the elders are cute. 4

Take good things and make them your own good things..the world really does belong to you..and what you make of it. Change your outlook to hope and a promise because you deserve it..You. Deserve. It. Me and God says so...He is there and you know what..he really does love you...no matter in all the perceptions of religions of the world..just the perceptions (what you think they think)...God loves you..and NOBODY..can take that away.
