Is It Normal?
What do you think?
What path
Hey, so I am 18 almost 19 in a very strong mormon family and all and all not a bad guy in my opinion. So if you know anything about the Mormon church there are the boys in suits on the bikes. The job intells a lot of sacrifice and divotion. They don't tell you where your going, you live and breath serving God and doing his work. Since I am at the age I have been really rethinking the whole thing and I have came to figure out that I really only want to go is to please my parents because my other sibbling hasn't lived the mormon religon at all. I am really close to my parents and hate disapointing them. My mom went through a lot of pain because my sister left on bad terms. My friend has asked me to move in with him when 2009 comes around but that a long ways away.
Yea the easy awnser is talk with them and they will understand but what will kill me is, 1 them trying to change my mind, 2 I don't really have anywhere to go to get away form it. And 3 The rest of my church mate will look down on me.
I plan on telling them but I really don't know the right time is and how to start the converstaion up. I know this isn't a "is this normal" but I found this site and it seemed like I could get a lot of oponions.

If you move in with your friend, does that mean that you can't still serve God? I don't know much about Mormons but I grew up going to a Baptist church (in UK).
Or do you mean that you are in a relationship with this friend?

if you are only a mormom because youre afraid youll disappoint someone then you arent doing it for the right reasons anyway,


life is too short to throw it away trying to please some god in some man made myth,
be a good person and treat others with respect and live a life free of the bondage of religion.

Well the thing is, our church expects us to do these missions to be able to enter the temple qnd all, and I don't have a relationship with my friend, he are just good friends and that would make me gay which I'm totaly not. I know what I want to do I just don't know how to get around to bring it up and I don't know the best time.

So what is it you want to do? Move in with the friend?
Would that mean a long distance move?
Do you mean you don't want to go on the missions?
Is there not a way of moving in with the friend and staying with the church? Is he a Mormon too?
Sorry about all the questions!

Does illiteracy run in your family? You cant even do your profile without appauling grammer and spelling mistakes. I put you closer to 13 than 18. Go get an education and phuck the religious crap.

Well how about moving in with your friend then find a different church and find a different way to serve God.
Do you have to stay a Mormon or can you change church type?

I would stay in the same church but I think my problem is more figuring how and when to break it to them because they are REALLY big on church and staying at home and tell them would be really awkward

Hmmm, tricky one. So if you move out of home but still stay in the same church, wouldn't that please your parents? Or is it that you don't want to go on the mission? Is the mission thing done in your spare time or is it a full time thing?

Its a full time thing you can't do anything else, you go to a intense chruch school for 2-3 muonths and you go door to dor and teach people, you live and breath it. The other thing is that I'm sorta stuck on is I'm on a time table in a sense, I am suposed to go turn in my papers to go in may and my friend is still in high school so I have to wait till at least june.

Ok so why do you feel that you want to move in with this friend? Did you meet him at school? Is he a Christian? Are all Mormons expected to do the mission thing or are there other ways you can serve? I doubt that many people are really cut out for that sort of door to door thing, surely it must take a certain personality type. A quiet/shy person for example might be better suited to a different role in the church.
How close to your parents are you?

Well the main reason I want to move out is one its easyer to have a roomate to pay for rent and we are good friends and I have family downthere and the 2 colleges are in the same city. And the door to door thing should test your faith and all.

Your life is yours. You have fullfilled your "obligation" to follow your parent's religion when you turn 18. I suggest you start finding your own way, but make sure you show your love for your parents in many other ways. They will get over your break from the faith- it might take a few years but its very common. Good luck :)

i grew up a mormon from age 5, i got the melkezidic priesthood and all that shit

don't go on a mission, jesus is not real, all your doing is wasting your time, for a fairy tale

once humans stop being idiots, and realize what a bunch of bullshit all religion crap is, you will be the laughingstock of humanity for wasting your time based on a fictional fairy tale

by the way i know that that will never happen, so my comment is actually a fictional fairy tale as well

evolution is actually going backwards, we hit the peak of evolution 10 years ago, it's all downhill from here

you think jesus is laughable, wait until you hear the shit people will come up with in 20 years
