Need some advice

[_Jersey Girl]

I was previously an inactive Mormon, but recently I went to the bishop and am in the process of repenting of my grievous sins. I started going to a singles' ward at the invitation of a friend that is visiting for the summer. He is a convert to the Church and served a mission. I have feelings for him and I am just wondering, when is a good time to tell someone that you are in a relationship with that you are bisexual and have had relationships with women before? Is there ever a good time to do that? I am also wondering whether the doctrine that homosexuals shouldn't get married in the Church also applies to bisexuals. Thoughts?

In other words,

Hi I am a troll, probably a Simon Sock, and am here to try and get people to believe my lame attempt at trolling.

She's real, Porter.

If this was an insider thing, my apology. But, go back and read it - I think you can see how it came across as "don't you use that word on my watch, mister" to those of us not on the inside.

I'd forgotten about the post you'd commented on... I'm not stalking you around the thread. Your post to Zee seemed overly harsh, that's all, and given the rebukes that have been happening on this thread, it's hard to separate insider posts from general commentary.

See? Now there's language we can all understand - you got your point across, it didn't sound high-and-mighty and tsk-tsk-y.

OK, Jersey Girl, I'm done bickering with you... bygones?

LDST,

Virtually all of the comments that you made above are about me and not the topical comments that I made. Here they are once again:

Of course it's not technically accurate which is my point. I simply would like to encourage people to think about the expressions that many of us use without thinking.

If anyone here would like to define or describe "gay lifestyle" or "bi-sexual lifestyle", I'm willing to read and consider it. My position is that being gay or being bi-sexual (or heterosexual for that matter) identifies a sexual orientation, not a lifestyle and when we characterize individuals as engaging in a "lifestyle" we set them up for bias, bigotry and abuse.

Not my way of doing things, that's for sure.

Feel free to comment on point.

Read her posts, Porter.

I'm wondering why being a convert would make him more accepting of your PAST.

Is 'past' a more acceptable word in that question because I would like an answer to Zee' question. I also wonder is acceptance a good, bad or neutral thing?

Polygamy_Porter:

Why not just give her the benefit of the doubt and assume she's real? Issues get discussed much free-er that way.

Remember, this site is MormonDiscussions.com, not SockPuppetAccusations.com. Do you really want us to transform from the former to the latter?

LDSToronto and Jersey Girl,

Please, can't we all just get along? I want you guys to imagine that you are holding hands while watching this video:

You guys are tooooo funny. This is why this board is so difficult to avoid, as much as I want to.

I wonder if acting as adults is too much to ask?

Only if you're asking the men . . .

Thanks for the input, everybody. This was really long to read. I just think that maybe after I get to know him a little more I will tell him. I think that he will not take it badly because he is a convert, but maybe I am wrong.

Hi, Outcast,

Glad you came back.

I think you should definitely tell this guy at some point before getting too serious.

Once you are committed, you may feel the pressure too great.

And after you are married, a guy could feel wronged for not being told before the wedding.

Or you could just figure it's none of his business and never tell him. If that doesn't bother your conscience any, you might give this some serious thought.

I mean, if God doesn't remember, there's nothing saying you should, either.

All the Best!
