I’m right where you are Charity, this is my first time on here and I am searching for answers and peace. I read some stories about the history of the church and I’m trying to figure how I can continue going to church and how I can be at peace in my mind while raising my six children and being a good wife that doesn’t want to shake the boat with my marriage, and already have with all of this and realized it was too much to loose I will just figure it out on my own. But really when I found out all that I did about who I thought was a wonderful man Joseph Smith and all the possibilities of the scriptures being made up IT HURTS and I don’t understand why no one sees this. I just can’t let this go. And with all of this I have completely lost my purpose of life. Because I don’t know what I believe anymore. And a person tends to feel alone when their core beliefs were ripped out form underneath them. I wish you luck in your search. I hope we both find some answers. If anyone has any comments it would be much appreciated. How to cope with all of this, and what now??
