Hi Folks,

I'm afraid that my daughter is developing some rather worldly attitudes and
opinions on a few social topic, and suspect that this is largely influenced by "internet friends" she has met. I'm looking for alternate forums, chat rooms, etc. that I can encourage her to visit. Not necessarily LDS per se (although that is great too), but at least one which support more conservative and traditional christian view and values. Her interests are mostly in the area of creative expressions -- writing, plays, music, acting, performing arts, etc. She is actually, imo a fairly good writer, but is currently lacking focus and follow-through (has written chapter one of about 10 different best sellers so far :)
She is currently 17 years of age, but is open & relates well to many different age groups. She is intelligent and a great debater. If you want to leave a personal email, that's great, but please also provide your ward any your bishop's contact information so I can verify that you are an active church member with good values and conduct.

Thanks for your help.

You can find many of them! I found some even in Italian so I don't think it will be difficult to find it in English.
I can suggest http://www.moregoodfoundation.org

Re: Seeking LDS-friendly Forums, Chat Rooms, Social Media, e

One of my favorite sites to follow is the Latter Day Saints sub-reddit on Reddit.com. They post some great stories from around the web and youtube videos that are inspirational. However, other parts of Reddit may be a little too much.

Anyways check it out: reddit.com/r/latterdaysaints

Re: Seeking LDS-friendly Forums, Chat Rooms, Social Media, e

The church has pages on most of the leading social media web sites to encourage participation and sharing the gospel where the people are... Rather than finding alternative social networks and forums, I would suggest talking with her about some of the sites and people she is connected with, and discourage her from connecting with people she doesn't know in person – you mention that the problem may be "internet friends" that she's met.

I have the same challenge as this . Where can a active member go to socialise online eg in chatrooms not just for dating ? When you are housebound the only resource is online and it is very difficult to find your niche . Any suggestions especially when LDS Chat is inaccessible .

Funny you should ask. :-) Despite the title of this particular topic, it is not a chat room. Neither is it intended for socialization. Primarily, the forum is for using technology in the church as well as support for certain callings.

Since the church of Jesus Christ of latter days saints is still suspended, I was wondering if you could still give messages study via chat session?

That would be up to the local units under the direction of the local and area leadership.

It would be best to ask them.

When I was a teenager I would visit ldschat.com. It had several different chat rooms including teen chat and single adult, patenting, and married rooms. It's been a long time since I was active in them, but I do have fond memories of that site

A new podcast called
"The Book of Mormon Digging Deeper" just went up. 7 episodes so far. They are trying to start a group page on Facebook called the Book of Mormon Digging Deeper.
It's just getting started but might be a good place to begin. Podcast is on Apple, Spotify, Amazon Music, Podcast Addict and a number of others. Very interesting.

I can understand your concern, unfortenaly there are many people that have those"internet friends". What i've learned is I just need to keep my faith, stay on the path of rightouesness, keep praying, reading scriptures and give service to others. I have a family member that has gotten caught up in worldly fun, and has lost their way, i continue to pray for this member. if you want to talk, i can give you my email and we can talk about these topics if you want
