How do you feel about Joseph Smith having more than one wife?

Well initially, yes it is very weird! It's not what I would choose. But I truly believe that God, at that time, commanded the men to do that because there were countless women and children being uncared for. I know that it was from God and I guess that is why it doesn't bother me too much.

Why are you a Mormon?

Well. That is quite a question. I feel as if this might be my whole background so prepare yourself. I was born and raised in the church. My mom had been baptized into the church but had never gone to church or lived its teachings due to her parents. My dad on the other hand was a member but married a crazy lady and didn't marry in the temple or have a "typical mormon life." My mom "joined" and by that I mean started to go to church and live its teachings after taking many many religion classes and also attending various churches. It was when she was a Jehovah Witness church meeting that she had the spirit testify that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was true. Any how, life went on and my parents married after my dad got divorced. They lived faithfully in the gospel and have always taught me its teachings. But to be quite honest? I never truly believed it. It made sense to me and it was a good concept, but I didn't KNOW it was true. And thus, when judgement from people in my ward came along, I broke and went inactive for almost a year. After that year I still didn't know, but I wasn't any happier being offended or not going to church. So I came back. And I went to Efy (a church camp in the summer), and it was cool and powerful, but I didn't know. Then I went again the next year, which was this past August. And perhaps I will have to share the experience there that happened that started everything - but it was then, that I knew that God loved me, and that he wanted me to keep pursuing this gospel and learning and studying it and find out for myself if it was true or not. I am stubborn you must know. My parents have little control over what I do. I am rebellious by nature. But I know. I know now that it IS true. And because I know it is true, what else matters? Life is still hard, people still suck, and I am no where near perfect. I make mistakes daily. I yell at my mom. I fall short. But I am a Mormon in the best way put because - because I know it is true. Because it makes me happy. Not everything always makes sense. I don't have all the answers. But I know, because the Holy Ghost has testified to me that it is true. and I can't deny that. I would be no where without this gospel. That is only a little bit of why - but I hope it answered somewhat what you were asking. There is just so many blessings from living the gospel and so much happiness in knowing that it IS true.

So why are you suddenly so intensely focused on being "outspoken" and saying exactly what you think? I understand that speaking your mind is a great thing, but sometimes it just seems rude. I liked the sweet UtahMormonGirl who always gave me great advice better. :(

I'm still the same.... I guess it's just the part of me coming out that wants people to like me and so far it is working. When I was nothing but sweet and never real or out spoken people hated me without cause. And I guess... Because one of the people I care about most on twitter is too busy for me... And I miss them. So I guess? I want attention. I know, how immature. I am still the same though, same advice. Just more sarcastic now like I actually am in real life - which I have been told comes off rude.

Actually, I believe it was so you could stalk your ex boyfriend, am I right?

Actually no it wasn't. I had no desire to do so. I would tweet on my personal and he would text me and get angry at what I would tweet and I didn't like that.

What inspired you to make an lds anon account?

Ha I know who's asking this :) so it was initially so my ex boyfriend would stop stalking me on my personal and since I already share spiritual things on my personal I made this and ta da the end

Yes, it's been only me :P for the past 21 minutes at least. Check your kik

gasp! what do you know! I DO love you! :)

Would you rather call or text?

it kind of depends on the person.... some people can be lame to text and would probably say more on the phone. maybe call though, because I like hearing peoples voices.

What are your feelings about Valentine's day?

it was a really good day! I thought it would be horrible! but I was so happy! and school was great! and my family was great!

How nerdy do you consider yourself?

nerdy? not at all. but I am a dork. I fall down frequently, I make lame jokes, things like that. Not necessarily nerdy though.

Top 3 favorite social networks?

twitter, and not sure if these count but blogspot and instagram?
if not facebook.... and something else haha :D

In your opinion, what is the best year of Yw Camp?

Sounds crazy, but my first. It was the worst. I felt so alone, I was awkward, and I was sick. but it made me so much stronger and independent and I know that God wanted me to feel alone so that I would stop being so stubborn and turn to him. So that made it awesome!! because I had him!

Favorite present you've ever received?

Journals or letters. I love notebooks so much. You can't go wrong there. and anything personal where you tell me how you feel about me or how you feel about the gospel I love. or scriptures would be a sick gift!

Favorite thing about the Gospel?

oh man... everything? but if I am going to be specific it is about trials. life is hard. so so hard. and it sucks so often. people hurt us constantly. things aren't fair. we don't hardly ever know why things happen specifically. but I know with all my heart that God has a plan for me and that everything I have been through has been to make me a better person and strengthen me, and for that I am truly grateful. I know that our trials are blessings in disguise and if we but just push through them and turn to our Father in Heaven and Savior Jesus Christ, they will be blessings for us and will seem far from trials. I know that everything that happens, everyone I meet or interact with, I meet them for a reason. I am there to learn from them or them from me. and that makes all the difference in my life.
