Been there, done that. The non-Mormon never understood and there were always misunderstandings between us. On the flip-side, a convert to the LDS church, like I am, has just as many problems dating a lifelong Mormon. They always seemed to have treated me like I was less than pure or something, because I had been exposed to the non-LDS lifestyle nearly all of the years of my life. <BR/> <BR/>In the end of many years of trying I just couldn’t take the loneliness any longer and I chose to leave the Mormons and the temple behind me. I dated many women and later married a girl who never knew I had been a Mormon until many years into our marriage. I still have not spoken much about my old life because I don’t think she would understand or appreciate my feelings. In my mind and in my heart I never abandoned my faith completely. I rely on God to judge what’s in my heart and to forgive my transgressions when they occur. I do wish I could have had both Worlds; the one of love and happy dating memories and the one with the LDS church and the spiritual truths it provided me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6611342.post-1112929097723701532005-04-07T22:58:00.000-04:002005-04-07T22:58:00.000-04:00If he was a "surf photographer" what was he doing ...If he was a "surf photographer" what was he doing in Virginia?
