I just subscribed and recently joined LDS. I've gotten backlash from others and go youtube wanting to hear and watch success stories of LDS, but instead, it's all bashing. Because what I've experienced and have seen over time has had a complete opposite. So, I'm real glad I can at least watch success stories here on KZbin. Have something to holdonto and look forward to rather than looking at a bunch of bashing thumbnails and titles.

I saw your other comment first, but I wanted to say, welcome! I've found that the most joy and peace in my life comes from holding on to the covenants I've made with God, despite setbacks and challenges that come with being a part of a religion. For me, the benefits, the peace, power, and access to God FARRRR outweighs any negatives I experience. And the beautiful thing is, if you stay with Jesus, He will heal us of our heartbreaks and sorrows. But I'm sure you know this! Welcome to the channel, welcome to the Church. We need your light and testimony, never stop sharing!

If you want more success stories, watch “Come Back Podcast” “Ward Radio” “Stick of Joseph” etc

@@ProdigalSonMatt great suggestions!

1 Corinthians 16:5 Now I will come unto you, when I shall pass through Macedonia: for I do pass through Macedonia. This verse will be my next favorite verse in the Scriptures amen to it.

As a guy, woman that don't obsess over main stream movies/tv shows automatically are more attractive and if she isn't a fan of social media even better.
