Hello! I hope you're doing well.
Happened to trip on your blog and honestly I'm excited to watch you learn about the whole general religion but specifically Mormon thing.
I was raised Mormon so it's always fascinating to me to see other people dive into the religion because I find the converts or investigators to have far more interesting takes on the faith generally. I at least like seeing what someone sees in it that makes them want to join.
I don't usually start religion posting on main because I am way more jaded about the church stuff than most of the queerstake here, but I look forward to your journey nonetheless. I hope you generally have a good time and get something out of the journey!
Thank you, I hope so too! I’m super excited for people to take this journey alongside me! I already feel like I’ve learned bunch and everyone here has been super helpful and kind. You guys are genuinely the sweetest. 🥺
My biggest reason for starting has definitely been my fiancée @moronian They’re the light of my life and nothing would make me happier than to connect further over something like this. Mormonism is a huge part of their life and I want to help contribute to that in one way or another. I’ve had to do a lot of unpacking (religious trauma/avoidance) to get here and they’ve been my biggest supporter.
I’d also say though that it’s just a religion that I’ve been genuinely curious about for quite some time. So, even if I decide that it isn’t right for me, I’m delighted to meet new people and learn more about the world around me.
