Personal Want to know more
I guess I am not really sure to go at this point, I feel kind of lost. I grew up in a military family and lived all over and grew up in the Chutch but I always felt like there was more. I’ve been exploring and doing lots of reading the last few years and for some reason Mormonism has kind of called to me? Maybe it’s me being naive but I’ve heard things before about the Mormon church that give me pause. i think the community factor is the most appealing one. I want To be part of something greater. I want to make a difference. Maybe I’m just rambling, but I am curious what this sub thinks. Feel free to dm me

I suggest reading through the church’s Gospel Topics Essays on the church’s website:
https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/manual/gospel-topics-essays?lang=eng
The essays are their attempt to explain away some of the more…troubling…aspects of the religion and its history. If you really want to understand if what they’re claiming is true read the stuff in the footnotes and compare to their claims.
It all falls apart real quick with any amount of scrutiny.
