Then let me tell you now OG, my parents would freak. I have no doubt they would call the state and have you sent back home.

Wow bud, that's pretty sad. What you need is to associate more with the people where you live. Meet some new people, or date, but don't go tearing across the country to meet some person you're just gonna get in trouble for. That's just stupid.

Well, I refuse to let you. Your place is at your home. I am not going to encourage you to come here just to get in troble and get sent back. It's a bad idea. Just be patient. With time, all things will work out for the better.

Just so yall know, nothing is truly wrong with my life it is just that i want to get out into the world and learn. i mean i really feel like i cant even read a book that isnt church doctrine, or fiction, or history here. and what i really want to read and learn about is other religions. and meet people from those religions. and meet my friends from on here.

That's understandable, but your still young! There will be time for all of that later. If you want to learn, go to the library, they have all sorts of books. Nothing is wrong with wanting to learn. Everything is wrong with scaring the heck out of your parents, running out of your state, meeting people from over the internet all just to get sent back.

Everything is wrong with scaring the heck out of your parents, running out of your state, meeting people from over the internet all just to get sent back. for me, i dont know why, but i live in fear of disappointing my mother, maybe its because i've sat in the church parking lot right before church and watched her cry because my bro wasnt going to church at the time. she told me once "Brian you ARE NOT leaving the church." so i think that instilled in me that while im around her i have to be devout christian boy, and dont get me wrong i am a devout christian, but that made me feel like i cant read another "holy" book besides the bible and book of mormon. really im thinking of learning arabic just to read the true qua'ran, it isnt considered the real qua'ran unless its in arabic everything else is just a translation. but i dont know. i guess ill just sit and wait.

and who's to say reading other holy texts and going "eh? neutral yeah right." just might strengthen your testimony? i mean, what if you are totally repulsed by the stuff they believe in? then your mom will see you sitting ont he couch reading the qu'ran at home with a sour look on your face and know how strong you are inside. *shrug* jsut an idea....oh, and i live in a tiny ski town in colorado.
oh, here's another idea..it sounds like your itching to do this: GO ON A MISSION!!!! i mean, i could be wrong on this, but it sounds like you really want to spread teh gospel, ne?

I've done the same thing (Far Eastern religons are very interesting). One book I would suggest reading is "Religons of the World: A Latter-day Saint View". I don't know where you would find it (my dad has it and I've looked through it). It talks about all religons and what truths they have. I hope this helps.

I live in the Middle East, and let me tell you...hearing the call to prayer is not all its cracked up to be. We hear it at least 15 times a day and as we live right next to a Mosque, there's no blocking it out. But I have found my time here really interesting. If you're ever curious about the Muslim religion, OperaGhost, you can always pm me. I'd be glad to talk to you and talk to you further about religion. Also, I think that whoever it was who suggested a mission is totally correct. A mission would be the best thing you could possibly do and you would learn so much from it.
