Ok, so you guys haven't heard from me in a long, long time, mainly because this thread turned into a bashing more then a discussion, and I was just tired of it because nobody uses common sense, they won't trust those who actually know the facts and insist on using Anti-Mormon Literature, which is only about 85% true, then they fill it with lies, and reasons that are not true, and or misquote purposely the true facts. anyway, i thought I would share some of my poetry with you guys. so here goes

He IS There

You tell yourself that no one cares
About anything unless it’s theirs
However true this is for some
But this I say except for one

No matter what happens to you
There is always one to care for you
You may not see him but he’s there
He is the one that hears your prayer

Gave you life, and a body too
A test to see if you’d be true
He wants you back, more then you know
He loves us all, the creator of snow

Everything we owe to him
He is our father, our loving friend
The tallest tree, and all its limbs
By him were made until the end

This lovely earth he gave to us
To multiply and replenish, trees and stuff
He asked us such a simple thing
Can we do it? Now here’s the thing

So little do we have to do
For God’s love is around me and you
He loves us each and so we say
Go forth with peace and love today

Make this earth beautiful once more
Before we meet him at the gate
To this earth we should restore
Peace and love, this is our fate
All he asks, is that we obey
So that we may return to him one day

The Plan

Do you remember the
Times we have shared
The times that have shown
Just how much we care

Times with just the two of us
Times that friends were a must
We helped each other everyday
Each in our own special way

You may not remember times like these
Because in the future they shall be
Times when together through our trust
We begin to care about all, not just us

Times like these my future holds
With you, with them, time like gold
Wait patiently for these days to come
Shortly they shall all be done

Treasure them up in you heart
The times when you play your biggest part
Those are the days now at hand
So follow you, the fathers plan

Lead you astray he will not
He’ll help you discover just what you’ve fought
Love one another as he has through all
Pick up your friends before they fall

Teach them to care and love so deep
Teach them when its time to reap
Reap of the field so ready and white
Reap all the day, and all through the night
Bring but one unto the father again
God will bless your soul forever amen

more in next post, don't want this to be too long

Night and Day

We’re told to pray both day and night
Over our meals, and at meetings too
These are all the times we should pray, Right?
Nay, we should always pray, all night and all day.

Keep this prayer in your heart
Say it with all your might, mind, and strength
This prayer, should always be part
Of your day, keep it forever, all night and all day.

Having this prayer helps more then you know
Always will you be ready to the spirit listen
As in your life, the spirit directs you were to go,
Keep him with you this way, all night and all day.

Unspoken this prayer often is
God can still hear it, because it’s in your heart
One thing you should remember is this
God hears you when you pray, all night and all day.

No matter when, and no matter where
Have with you this simple prayer
God will always hear it, because he’s there
No matter our prayer, God hears it, all night and all day.

God’s Love

She likes him, he likes her
Are they together? No, sir.
Why not? You ask them many times
So they answer with these Rhymes

He is super sweet, a way nice guy
If looks were wings, he could fly
He’s everything I’m looking for
But he deserves so much more

She’s beautiful and super sweet
The girl I’m gladdest I got to meet
She’s everything I’m looking for
But she deserves so much more

You sit and ponder what they’ve said
Before you retire off to bed
You tell yourself they must be wed
You’ll tell them what each other said

You go to her at mornings light
And find her beauty oh so bright
You decide she must know now
But how to tell her? How?

You let her know how much she means
How she’s in his every dream
She doesn’t’ believe you, of course,
So, quickly, you go to him on your horse

You let him know what she said
He says yeah right, maybe if I were dead
Together you know they should be
So you came and talked to me

Now I leave you with this advice
Seeing as how both are very nice
Just let nature take its course
They’ll find each other in times due course

Let them live as life intends
Life for them will be at end
When finally they realize
That each hides the other in disguise

Then they will together be
Forever through all eternity
I, God, love them so very much
Together they love me just as much

Be Your Best

Be your best in all that you can
That is part of the fathers plan
Do what you can, from day to day
Just do everything in your best way

Try your hardest and never give up
Remember it was Christ that drank the bitter cup
He did it so we could always be
Our best selves, the best you, the best me

Can anything good come from me
Yes! You just need to look deep to see
What it is, search yourself and you will find
What makes you the best, revealed in your mind

Just remember to be the best you can
It helps complete the fathers plan
If we all will just do our best
The fathers love will make up the rest

To make it back to our father someday
We must do our best from day to day
Helping others in all that you do
Helping people like me, and people like you

Seek God’s help, and help he will
You’ll become your best, but be better still
Everyday as you begin to grow
Your best gets better, just so you know

Though practice makes perfect, we are told
Just doing our best will keep us in God’s fold
Eventually out best will become, sin free
We would be perfect like Christ, you see

Never let a minute go by
Where you don’t try
To be the best person you can be
To help others become better, others like me

This is the message given to me now
Become my best, although I’m not sure how
All things can be done through the Lord
I’ll do my best, and never get bored

I need my father most every hour
He gives me strength, he gives me power
Him I’ll seek every chance I receive
Until my soul is at relieve

Even then will I continue to work
No longer be this lazy jerk
Serve the Lord the best I can
Be the best I can be, a better man

Many years have passed now, I’ve grown old
Since I was first this story told
I followed its counsels, every day
And have become my best in every way

Proud of me my father is now
I became my best, although I didn’t know how
Now I ask if you will too
Become the very best you

God will bless you very great
Being your best is part of your fate
Your best will grow every day
Keep up to date and he will say
My sons, my daughters, whom I love so great
You all did your best, so this is your fate
You can live with me forever and ever
And become like me, perfected forever

Well that's all I want to share right now, ok maybe just one more, but if you want to read anyothers, send me a PM with your email address and I'll send them all to you

Why?

I care so much, more then most
It is something I don’t like to boast
The question that I ask, is why?
Why do I care so much,
Why do I have such a loving touch
Why do I help those in need

Questions like this I needn’t ask
The answer I know is simple see
Unlike others I do not hide behind a mask
When I help others, it’s just me

Let them think what they want
I’ll help them still no matter what
Let them think I’m out to gain
I’ll help them still no matter what

What if I were to quit
Just give up, say that’s it
Stop helping others everyday
Become a jerk in my own way

Not stopping to help those in need
I’d become a jerk through my deeds
This is something I cannot do
I care to much about people like you

Loving care is a gift from me
To everybody that I see
I’ll share this gift from God
He blessed me with it, it’s rather odd
No matter how much pain I take
It only helps me care more with every breath I take

This gift I’ll use most everday
God gave it to me, and so I say
I’ll spread your love through word and deed
To prove I love you, that you are a friend indeed
To call you a friend it is so great to do
No longer a servant, bringing things to you

Being an equal, a friend so true
Is something that must be hard to do
I love you so very much
You love me more then very much
You love me enough to make sure I grow
Through trials and sufferings this I know

For my own good is everything
Nothing bad can happen when your in my life
You help overcome all my grief and strife

I’ll try my best to return one day
To hear the words you’ve been waiting to say
Mike Rowlands my son, with love so great
Come live with me forever, fulfill your fate

To ask such a question as to why
Is something that will be answered when I die
The answer is something we cannot see
Something that doesn’t belong to you or me

Those were really nice!

It's good to hear from you again! Thanks for sharing. 😄

Well, it looks as if this thread it drawing it's last labored breath 🙁 .....
Kella, where are you when we need you!?!?!😕

*sigh* anyway, I still have some hopes of revival.... 😄

But if it happens this week I won't be here.

We're having missionary week for the youth,( 😱 ) so we're going to spend five days following mission rules, not watching TV, or movies, or listening to any music (other than the tabernacle choir if you must listen to something). That also includes Internet use, and even reading material..... so, I'll see ya in a week.... 😉 God speed.

HELP! THIS THREAD NEEDS CPR!

Well... I'm back! 😄

wow this thread died after I came back, I guess I killed it, or got all those who have been bashing us to realize they had no right to bash us, and that we are very passionate about our religion and God

Kudos to you! 😄

Hello, I just came across this page (really this forum in general) and read the first 10-20 pages and decided I was probably never going to read them all, so I thought I'd post and say HEYAS 🙂

I am a member of the LDS church, born and raised.

I enjoyed reading this thread immensely, and decided to join the forum.

😂 welcome Regret! 😄

Thank you very much Alliance 🤣 I probably won't be able to post much til Friday, I have to take off on a business trip, but we'll see what I can do.

What for? Everything has been discussed to death.

It all comes down to LDS are just like Christians but with some strange doctrines, which LDS members will of course dodge or deny. They will die out just like Christians eventually.

and there will be much rejoicing!

Or gnashing of teeth...........

I'm sick of those ass dweebs knocking on my door trying to convert me. I don't want twelve wives for god's sake.

The LDS Church has not practiced polygamy since the late 1880. Some Mormons do participate in polygamist marriages but the Church is officially and actively against it.

When are people going to let the whole issue go? Mormons are NOT polygamists.

I never claimed they weren't 'nuts' even though of course they aren't. It's a chosen lifestyle... It hardly makes them 'nuts' it makes them more like, naive or gullible.

Mormons are just as 'nuts' as any other person attached to an organized religion.
