Are Mormons Judgemental?

Yes. we are. And that is not good. So as my shortest post I am just going to say, As Mormons we should make it a goal to not look at people and judge. Let us be More like Christ. Loving everyone. (: I have judged before. And it doesn't give me pleasent feelings. It's like bullying in your mind. Only every time that you do it to another person. Eventually in the future it will come back to you. I do judge others. So from now on Me, and You should try hard not to judge others. (;

~Seeing things through a lense of Faith~

During your teen years (12-20) you are in a pretty rough patch. It starts in Middle school, at first you don't really know anyone, you kind of just walk around in the shadows. Afraid. Then slowly about the second week you find friends. Friends of all types, religions and faiths. They rub off on you. I can tell you that when I started Middle school and got my new friends, I wanted to be JUST like them. I changed myself and became so much like my friends. I really looked up to some girls. But I have lots of  non- mormon friends. And I get asked a lot , " Why are you Mormon?"  And I'll be quite honest, most of the time I just say, "I don't know" But then, you start asking yourself that, and you get to thinking, maybe the church isn't for me, my friends aren't they are doing fine.  And for me, I decided. The church isn't for me. And you change again. During that time frame, I would look up on YouTube stuff about why people left or werent in the mormon church. And I thought that, that stuff was true. So I told my dad about this stuff. And he called me and told me that I just have to look through a lense of faith. Maybe to others who don't see through this lense, the church is wrong. But if you see through the lense of faith, you will see the truth. And that is when I made my decision to stay with The church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day saints. (;

Who are you today?

So to start this quest together, we must ask ourselves: Who are we today? I'll answer who I am, today I do not have a good reputation. When I was in seventh grade, I sent nude pictures to 2 guys. I fight with my siblings all the time. I am pretty disrespectful too. I'm here to tell you that, NO ONE is perfect. You may feel like there is no hope for you. But there is. If you feel like you have problems, and you don't feel comfortable talking to anyone about it, Confide in God. Pray. I have learned there is no more understanding person than God. If you feel like the thing, or you, is/ have done, something bad you can pray to God! He is listening. But eventually you must tell your parents or spouse. If you are already Mormon your parents/spouse must be told, but also your bishop. If you aren't Mormon a bishop is the leader of the ward you are in. (church you attend) If you have done something God probably doesn't approve of, the Bishop is a helper, and kind of a therapist. You can meet with him and tell him what you did. He will help you better yourself. He helps you repent. Even if you have done something God is dissapointed of, Don't think he doesn't love you anymore, God will Always love you. Jesus died so we could repent. Repentance is a gift. So you should use it. If you feel like you are not ready to repent, that is okay. Take your time. But you should never think that you will do the bad things now and just repent later. If you have that mind set, God will not be as forgiving. I bear testimony, that God does love us. And that we can better ourselves and repent. (:
