Thanks for the welcome and kind words MayB!

Re-reading my post makes me think that I sound a bit dramatic but, that’s how I feel. I’ve been looking at the Internet recently and contemplating what a cafeteria Mormon or an Unorthodox Mormon may be. I believe I am more like them and less like TBM (I think that’s the acronym for Traditional) and now I’m just trying to come to grips with where I go from here and what do I REALLY believe.

I was saddened to read some posts (on various blogs) of TBM who feel that if you are a “cafeteria mormon’, you have no place really saying you are a mormon and they wouldn’t want their children being taught by someone like that (in YW, YM, or Primary) nor would they want their children to be friends with people/families who feel that way. I don’t understand this and do not want to be shunned, but maybe that is the only way to find peace?

Congrats on working towards your Graduate Degree–that’s fantastic! I wish you the best of luck and am happy that you have a supportive family. I’ve been so blessed within my own family.
