Having left the Jehovah's Witnesses I am searching for a new group to mix with! I am more interested in the social side than the religous connection. Are momons nice people? What about baptists? I used to have work friend who was baptist and he seemed to be a really friendly person!

This seems an odd question, since the question has elsewhere claimed that he continues undecided about whether he will return to the Jehovah's Witness faith.

You bet! www.mormon.org. It will be the best decision you ever made. But don't do it because of any "social side". Do it, because you know it's what God wants you to do. It's the spirit that led you to question your beliefs. It's that same spirit that will lead you to the truth. Listen inside and if you feel good you will know God is showing you the way. There will be all kinds of people in the mormon church. I suggest you join some other group of people that share your interest and hobbies for the "social side". You can then share your sociality with the church, thus helping build God's kindom in these latter-days. You have alot to offer! But, talk to the mormon missionaries. You will be glad you did. God loves you and is showing you the way! Good luck to you.

Dont join the Mormons. Haveyou heard of jumping from the frying pan into the fire? The Baptists are a much better choice. Realize that it will not be easy as an ex-JW to go to another church.

its up to you, I personally have studied and found the church of jesus christ of latter day saints as the true church, i suggest you find out for yourself. If your interested in becoming a mormon, i suggest you read the book of mormon, or contact some local missionaries from the church. Seek out the whole truth before you decide.
Just like alot of religions, generally mormons are nice, but we sometimes can be self-righteous, and i'll admit that, but no one is perfect.
The church is normally set up in wards or branches, which is like local groups, after time, you normally become great friends with these people, they have alot of programs set up for the welfare and benifit of all people, they also have quarums and groups for women, men, youth, young single adults, etc... That is one thing that is very nice about the LDS church is the sense of community that you can find, as well as involvement and care, in cases of emergency, the LDS church is well known for its ability to come together, even for non-mormons.
But don't join the church strictly for the social reasons, you're free to join the quarums and groups without having to join the church.

If you don't mind getting bash often by other "Loving Christians" or Mormon haters, or Ex-Mormons.
Sure, hop on in and see if you want to be one.
Just make sure you did this on your own free will and choice.
I just get bore with people who said how the LDS force them to do this and force them to do that, and before you know it, they became an Ex-Mormon.
By the way, being a LDS is not just a social style, you do have to pay tithe and sacrifice your time and talents, so if you just want to get a social group to hang out with, you may find our church is just too demanding for folks like you.

ABSOLUTELY! And yes, mormons are nice people. But, i think you're going for the wrong reason. I love the gospel and know it's true. I'm only 13, and it's helped me so much in my life. Try meeting with the missionaries and getting attending church for a few Sundays. I know you'll love it! Just pray, and ask God if it's true.

I'm a Mormon, I like being a Mormon, but it's really not for everybody. Why don't you contact some missionaries, go to some meetings, check out some beliefs and see what you think?

First off, keep in mind it is a decision you have to make for yourself. Don't let a few people on Yahoo Answers make it for ya. Secondly, I'd suggest that you not join a church solely for the social side of things. Make sure that if you do join a church it's because you feel in your heart that it is true.

Go to different churches and read the teachings of the churches. Church-joining is not just joining a type of club. Social connections are important but only join a church if you think that it espouses truth in faith ,hope and love

The only person who can decide this is you. Study, think, pray and come to a decision as to which religion you should join.

If you don't want any connection with the one true God, then anything will do. Sounds like you're just looking for attention.
