As far as your conversion story is concerned, yes indeed, God willing. And Omnia in tempore Dei.

So, my concern is that my life be about being part of the solution, and not part of the problem. I know lots of people who are either Atheists, Agnostics, not practicing Christians, inactive LDS, Buddhists or some other belief system. I think that even those who say they do not believe in God, still practice a belief system.

My own past is really icky to some, and they rejected me. Still I followed the path that I needed to take, and never rejected Heavenly Father. I never expected to be accepted by the LDS, but they have and am still somewhat dazed. I’ll get that conversion story out to you soon, inshallah. :)

When I became a member in England I wondered why none of my family or friends joined. The answer is of course that society, the large and spacious building, is much more alluring. Many of us have to have a deep shock to our systems before we wake up and get some sense into us.

So, nothing new in the article for me. However, some information presented in the news might trouble new converts. You would have to be specific on what it is that concerns you.

Another angle on the same topic: http://www.deseretnews.com/article/700220941/Mormons-opening-up-in-an-Internet-world.html

I don’t choose to take it very seriously, but since I left Islam, certain people in the church say I could be in danger from radical Muslims. Among certain groups, you just don’t become “Inactive” and walk away. According to certain Muslims, the next time they see me they are to kill me.

So, this indiscriminate spreading of things that while not secret, are private could be quite harmful to some. In the US, this sharing of private information may not be so dangerous, but I know for a fact that in many Middle Eastern countries, it is a death sentence.
