  C & E Mormon?

  I went to church on Sunday, which happened to be Easter. It was my first time attending in about four years.I traveled "home" for the weekend with my parents. I knew they would be going, and there were people in the congregation that I genuinely liked and missed. Attending church was more a social call than a spiritual trip for me.I thought I might feel guilty, attending Sacrament meeting

  "Sometimes I think you wished you married Peter Priesthood."

  My husband is an atheist. We met in 2002, when I was still pretty TBM. It started out as one of those situations where we were both out to convert the other one. To make a long story short, he won, mostly. And we've been married for almost a year.My husband is wonderful. Right now I'm working and he's not. So he has dinner ready for me practically every night when I get home from work. He's a

  We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; indeed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul—We believe all things, we hope all things, we have endured many things, and hope to be able to endure all things. If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.Over all, I like this Article of

  We believe in being subject to kings, presidents, rulers, and magistrates, in obeying, honoring, and sustaining the law.I consider myself a law abiding citizen. If something is illegal, I don't do it. That fact is sometimes a decision making factor for me. I admit, I do drive a little bit too fast sometimes, and there's been a couple orange lights I've gone through. But that is the extent of my

  We claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty God according to the dictates of our own conscience, and allow all men the same privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they may.I have no problem with this Article of Faith. I believe it, and I try to practice it. However, I feel that the Church itself doesn't.I don't see how it is possible to be a good-standing Mormon, and still worship "

  We believe in the literal gathering of Israel and in the restoration of the Ten Tribes; that Zion (the New Jerusalem) will be built upon the American continent; that Christ will reign personally upon the earth; and, that the earth will be renewed and receive its paradisiacal glory.I'd just like to skip this one altogether, but that would be cheating.Operation: Desert Storm had a huge impact on my

  We believe all that God has revealed, all that He does now reveal, and we believe that He will yet reveal many great and important things pertaining to the Kingdom of God.This is one of the Articles of Faith I like. A lot.I see this as saying that revelation is continuing. I agree with this. I believe that God has revealed things in the past, does so now, and will continue to do so. I agree with

  We believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly; we also believe the Book of Mormon to be the word of God.What does "word of God" mean? Its difficult to address how I feel about this Article of Faith without defining the parts of it. Does "word of God" mean literal truth? Does it mean elements of truth or inspiration? Does it mean God is literally the author

  We believe in the gift of tongues, prophecy, revelation, visions, healing, interpretation of tongues, and so forth.On the most part, I do believe this. I believe in prophetic dreams and inspiration. I believe people can be healed by having great faith. The gift of tongues and interpretation of tongues is in the weird area for me though. I believe that you can communicate with people who speak

  We believe in the same organization that existed in the Primitive Church, namely, apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers, evangelists, and so forth.I've always found this Article of Faith odd, even when I was a active, pretty much TBM. There aren't pastors or evangelists in the LDS church. The Priesthood office of Teacher is held by boys from 14-15, and they don't teach anyone.As far as my own
