I am a Mormon, and after thinking a praying about what I had been taught, God told me in my heart that it was true. I'm not into pushing my beliefs on others. I only tell people what I believe if they want to hear it, and whether or not they end up believing it is up to them. The truth is that answers to many of these questions takes time and rarely happens all at once. God, in my experience, just gives us little nudges in the direction we should go to allow us to make most of our decisions.

For me, personally, I believe the church is true because it makes the most sense. It answers a lot of questions that many people in the world (including other Christians) ask themselves. I also feel that I have had spiritual confirmations from time to time that what I believe is true, but for the most part my beliefs are based on logic.
I believe that for anyone to discover the truth, it requires a sincere desire to know the truth, as well as diligent study, prayer, fasting, faith, humility, patience, and having an open mind.

The LDS people can be a good people. They lack the insight to make substantial gains in society though. If the Presidency told them to all jump off a cliff 99% of them would. Faith has blinded most not all LDS faithful. Common sense and open-minded dialogue are not common in LDS communities. Faith not education rule these people.
I was raised LDS, and with an open mind. As an adult I had my name removed from church records as I felt the Church did not represent honesty and integrity in regards to their history and actions. They continually practice polygamy in their temple rituals. To this day they continually count inactive members as a part of the flock. This way they can inflate their numbers to make people consider them a "real" player in the business of Christian churches.

My own conclusions simply put. But a still small voice called the Holy Ghost helped me along. A good Mormon will never try to force their religious beliefs on you, but will gladly answer questions and invite you to make your own choice.

Fast and prayer. It was shortly followed after by a burning in my heart that relaxed everything, stress was gone I wasn't tired or anything, it was the best feeling of my life!

Did all they told me and still didn't feel anything. It is because I have an open mind.
