This blog is about my religious expression, of which I am not sure where I should even belong in regard to what religious organisation, mainly which Christian church should I be apart of. This blog will show my personal journey through a faith crisis after Covid-19. When I started writing this blog, I was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and I was a firm believer in the dogmas and doctrines which it taught. During Covid-19, I experienced a major faith crisis. It centred around whether I was welcomed in the church which I considered family, or was I disregarded and it would be easier and better for myself and the members of the church for me to formally leave the Church.
This blog is to help me express, and get our there what I actually believe about topics of faith, and especially, Jesus Christ, so that, through what I actually hold dear, and wholeheartedly believe in, and publicly share on this blog, others may help me find a place where I belong, rather that be, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, another church in the overall Restoration movement which includes the Community of Christ (RLDS), another church tradition such as the Roman Catholic church, a pentecostal, baptist, evangelical or community church.
This is not a blog about getting all the information that I need to convert to any particular religious organisation or theology in christianity, or even away from christianity unto another just yet, that'll be called for at the end of the year 2021 A.D.. This will be a blog just expressing what I believe, getting it out there into the world, mainly for my friends and family.
I have decided to, at the start of 2021, (1/1/2021) I will not actively go on and participate on Social Media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. While I'll still have accounts on there and will check in on those platforms for general updates and to connect with people, who have so happened to send me messages on their and not on text or talked to me in person. I will still use this platform of this blog to share my beliefs and updates in regard to what I believe in.
This blog is not to convert anyone to what I believe or away from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, if that ends up being what I have decided to do. However, if it be that I formally believe in another doctrine, attend another church, then I would love for those who are members of the church to just hear me out in that regard. If it be that I stay and wholeheartedly believe in everything again in regard to the church, then please, those Christians who came here to see my "Conversion away form mormonism" in as real time as it gets with blogs. Then I'd ask for you to do the same in regard to that.
Sincerely,
Dean Liddell.
