The average service on Sunday is over three hours, and that's not counting other activities during the week. The Church makes sure its members are always involved, which is one of its selling points. Mormons are made to feel important. Ever since I can remember, Mormonism just didn't seem right to me. The teachings were so different from other Christian religions that I never felt comfortable with it.
Religious instruction starts early with constant reinforcement.
Everyone around me was so sure Mormonism was the right religion. I felt that I was just a bad person who wasn't 'getting it'. These feelings continued to grow as I did. I tried to believe. I read the Book of Mormon and prayed about it.
