Fear and Guilt
Do you ever have fear of not doing what you are taught is right by LDS church teachings? I have struggled with this for some time, but am finally reaching some peace. When I was little and went to church, like others I was learning about life's beginning and end. This is a lot to take in but it gives you clearly defined boundaries. When I would question these teachings and beliefs, the boundaries were not so clearly defined. I believe now that all is not so clear, but what is important is how you treat other people of all beliefs. I would rather live with uncertainty then try to convince myself everyday that what sounds wrong is right. I know some who have held onto their religion due to the fear of no longer being held to a strict set of boundaries, but uncertainty of what the answers are. I know others have been fortunate to feel like they are a part of something and agree with answers it provides. Again, what are your experiences with fear or guilt as it relates to LDS teachings? Or have you only experienced true feelings of comfort and peace?
