tracey...are you really sure about this? what about all your roots at cpc? werent you a leader there for the jr high? what about all the years youve dedicated your life to christianity?
what is at a mormon church that you cant find at a christian one?
i love cpc with all my heart. it was one of the main foundation layers of my faith. one thing everyone doesnt understand is that mormons are christians too. no one can accept that because the general outsiders view is that joseph smith is the focus of the religion. i am forever indebted to jesus and he is the focus of my life. i still hold all the morals i held before and i believe that christ died on the cross for my sins and was ressurected on the 3rd day still. what do you define a christian as? there is such a huge misunderstanding, but i'll explain everything to you on monday, mon chou :)
you should look into the orthodox denomination. it is a Christian denomination with a lithurgical background and a solid foundation. it has a church doctrine, but it is nothing like catholicism.
i think you should have a lunch date with my christian-coverted mormon friend. he could provide a lot of insight as to why he left the church.
(you have no idea who i am, but i read your livejournal because i have no life)
oh i know who you are! you worked with my sister at the limited and went to fcs 1 or 2 years ago. i would love to chat with your buddy, but honestly im set on my decision :)
All I've ever wanted in life was the truth and a certain peace to penetrate the crazy thoughts that run through my head ever hour of the day. I've never quite known if other people feel the same way as me but I sense that in some way people do feel the way that I do as I close my eyes every night to fall asleep

oh lady, its not that i'll never look back. i look back everyday and that helps me understand so many things i never understood before. im not forgetting my past. without knowing where i come from, i have nowhere to go forward to. cpc, my church ive recently left, is not an issue. cpc has been so great to me, but ive found something more complete. i dont really know what youre talking about for the bible rewriting thing.. mormons use the king james version and has been since the church started. its actually a little ironic that you say mormons have rewritten heir bible 300 times, because i look back at fcs or cpc and i used several different versions of the bible that distort everythings such as The Message, Good News Translation, NIV [this ones good], and the list goes on and on and on... the KJV has been used for so many centuries and not by mormons alone. i wish i could talk to you personally, so youre welcome to join tiff and bianca on monday when i hang out with them. this church has been one of the greatest blessing ive received

they have the KJV and thats all ive read.. unless youre talking about the book of mormon and d&c.. ive read a lot of the book of mormon, a wee bit of d&c, and of courze ive been reading the bible for several years now.. not the whole thing though.
