# Another Collaborative Site: Read Scriptures Together
[![](https://s3.us-west-1.wasabisys.com/idbwmedia.com/images/readscriptures22.png)](http://readscripturestogether.com)

I'm also an active member of the Church, and like most male members, served a mission in Venezuela for two years when I was 19. (I'm now 32.) My wife is a lifetime member, but I joined the Church at 15. [Jane](http://whataboutmomblog.com/) and I were married in the Manti temple in Utah after only four months of dating at BYU.

I've had the idea for a collaborative scripture reading site for a while. About 5 months ago I created a Ning group and experimented with a beta version of the site. We had about 20 members (mostly family and friends), with at least a quarter of them participating regularly. The site was taking off. But then I fell behind in my reading, I became frustrated with Ning (the social network software I was using), and the site lost momentum. It went into a state of dormancy for a few months.
