My name is Daphne, and my boyfriend's (fiance's) name is Zak. I don't know that I'll post much mostly because I'm not a parent... yet. I will be on July 24th tho. I joined this community 'cause I have a lot of concerns about raising this kid (don't know what it is yet, have to wait till next month) and one of my major concerns is the heavy Mormon/

welcome to the community!

i understand many of your concerns! my husband and i are both goth (more or less, this new mommy thing does not leave much time for makeup!). i am also generic pagan and plan on raising kieran in that spiritual environment.

i've been considering homeschooling when the time comes for school because a) the utah public education system is shit, b) the home-schooling community here in salt lake rocks, and c) he won't have to deal with the mormon persecution i endured in the schools.

I apologize for just reading your entry now, but I think that is soooo sad about that guy that visited your church! For Gods sake, it says 'Visitors Welcome' on the outside of the building!!!! But sadly, they are not. I can't believe no one even talked to him. That brings to mind the phrase 'What would Jesus do?' These people are so judgmental, I feel sorry for what they will face at the end!

I'm commenting in a bit of an odd place. I am mormon, I'm married to a non-mormon. We lived together and I was pregnant before we got married. I was inactive for several years, but not because I didn't believe it, I just did my own thing for awhile. I am an active member of the church now, but just felt like I understood your entry and wanted to comment
