LDS, Polygamy and More
Let me begin with this. I was not raised within the Church, nor was I ever allowed within the Temple. I learned about the Church probably around the age of twenty-one when I was very busy with my schooling and many other things. I did my best to attend as often as I could. I have been baptized Mormon. In fact, I still have my little key chain that was supposed to symbolize the light of the holy spirit. I went to church faithfully for a few years, until I started having dreams.. having.. thoughts that seemed to plague me considering that I have been taught the past few years that Plural Marriage is bad. So I faded out from Church which was easy to do when I moved to a different state. However, here is where I sit. I am very close to a Ward here in Las Vegas. I have been feeling these urges to return to church, to go back, to just hide and lie about my beliefs. Though I wonder.. How in good faith, can I go to church, and carry myself as an LDS Mormon when I know that some of the things I desire in my life are simply NOT allowed by the Church?
So I guess I pose this to you. Is it wrong of me to return to church? Should I ignore this sudden overwhelming call to return to the Church and get involved? I mean, how as a woman, do I even have the right to suggest such a thing if I were to meet a man who I fell in love with and felt that God wished me to be with. I guess, I have so many questions, and so many confusions, that I simply do not know what to do just yet. I don't know how to act or if it is right or wrong. Is there anyone out there who can help me?



Hello From the Heart
We live in Las Vegas, NV.
We are still card carrying LDS members but are really fundamentalists. We have been thinking of holding our own church meeting in our home. Have sacrament mtg, etc. It is really frustrating to sit in meetings and not be able to discuss or bring up the ideas that fundamentalists believe. And if you say too much you will be ex communicated. Drop me an email if you like to talk about this. poly9876@gmail.com

Hi, I'm an LDS as well and I'm having the same kind of doubts, since I also believe in the principle.

Hi FromTheHeart and welcome to our site.
I don't think anyone can guide you as to your attendance at church but the Holy Spirit. Maybe there is another reason you are being prompted to attend.
The comforter is still in the church and we are instructed to follow that.
As to plural marriage, who knows when that will change in the mainstream LDS church?
Pray, and pray some more and see where it leads you.
Blessings....
