[QUOTE="BrutallyHonest, post: 2419471, member: 245856"] This is right up my ally because I just started thinking about my conversion. Here's my testimony. I was raised baptist, all of my immediate family is baptist. Something happened one day that made me see that being baptist wasn't the right way for me (personally) to find Christ. I disagreed with the way the practiced faith, and I was disappointed with the caliber of people who were baptist. So I decided to denounce myself as a baptists and went of a personal search to find my testimony. During my search I started to pick up Atheist views. I become unhappy and took the people around me for-granted. I let outside influences control my life and hit a low point. At one point I tried out Catholicism but the Catholic church never guided me to Christ. I was still unhappy and somewhat bitter and religion and Christianity. But, there was a day where I prayed to God to show me a way. I've has heard about LDS before, and like many I let rumors and myths form my opinion. But something made me want to look more into it. So I went to the website and heard others testimonies. When I did my research, I realized that the LDS church wasn't what people said it was (racist and polygamist mostly) and it taught good morals to it's members to live by. I prayed and asked God if this was the right way, and I do believe he answered my prayer. Because days after that prayer, someone contacted me and said that I was his brother, it was hard to believe but he had looked for me for years but he found me. After this my heart knew that I belonged to the LDS church and I would be proud to cal myself a Mormon. Of course I had to deal with new things such a the Book of Mormon and Pearl of Great Price, but I look at those as guidelines to my new/reborn life. Ever since I found the LDS church, I've been happier... That is my testimony..Sorry if it's a bit long! [/QUOTE]
