Leaving Mormonism

Sorry for the amateurish nature of the video, it's my first one :P

Resignation letter:

(insert full name, address and date here)

This letter is my formal resignation from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and it is effective immediately. I hereby withdraw my consent to being treated as a member and I withdraw my consent to being subject to church rules, policies, beliefs and 'discipline'. As I am no longer a member, I want my name permanently and completely removed from the membership rolls of the church.

I have given this matter considerable thought. I understand what you consider the 'seriousness' and the 'consequences' of my actions. I am aware that the church handbook says that my resignation "cancels the effects of baptism and confirmation, withdraws the priesthood held by a male member and revokes temple blessings" I also understand that I will be "readmitted to the church by baptism only after a thorough interview". My resignation should be processed immediately, without any 'waiting periods'. I am not going to be dissuaded and I am not going to change my mind. I expect this matter to be handled promptly, with respect and with full confidentiality.

After today, the only contact I want from the church is a single letter of confirmation to let me know that I am no longer listed as a member of the church. It is here I express that I will NOT participate in church court or disciplinary councils as I have done nothing wrong. I am exercising my freedom of religion and I am requesting the administrative procedure for membership removal. Therefore, I request that the word "excommunication" and any of its variants to not be used in my letter of resignation confirmation, as, again, I have done nothing wrong and am resigning of my own accord.

Sincerely,
(name)

Just a simple question . Were you living the Standards of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints at the time of your departure ?

@mollymu1

Well at the time when I officially left, I had not considered myself Christian for some years. So in a word, no.

[MistressInked]

[getdownto311]

[burtontoker]

[getdownto311]

@burtontoker oo the book of moron? really your going to rever to that?,mormon doctorine is not official church doctorine,and learn to type and lay off the weed its not making you any more intelligent.

[burtontoker]

@getdownto311 I just made all that up huh?

[burtontoker]

@getdownto311 There are many gods (Mormon Doctrine, p. 163). Jesus and Satan are spirit brothers and we were all born as siblings in heaven to them both, (Mormon Doctrine, p. 163.) God is married to his goddess wife and has spirit children (Mormon Doctrine, p. 516). The first spirit to be born in heaven was Jesus (Mormon Doctrine, p. 129).

[burtontoker]

@getdownto311 Hmm, really? I just posted rumors, and falsehoods? I post whats in the book of Moron, I posted what your doctrine says.

[getdownto311]

@burtontoker so your obsession with the mormon church is quite disturbing,do you really believe in christ? saying that you believe in him is one thing ,i can tell through comments that you dont have him,intellectual response all you have done is call me names and laugh and make fun of my faith,hypocrite much? so your not exactly having an intellectual debate either,your not as bright as you think you are

[getdownto311]

@burtontoker i know the doctorine better than you can,obviously you have demonstrated piss poor learning skills here,you can bad mouth my faith my leaders all you want,doesnt make it untrue.......just shows how insecure you are in your faith since you focus so much on tearing down a religion instead of preaching about christ,its rediculous how you can think that you know my religion better than i do when you havnt even given me a lick of what we believe nothing but falsehoods and rumors your on.

[burtontoker]

@getdownto311 I'm not trying to feel big and cool, I just disproved your entire phony religion in three paragraphs, and obviously you lack the ability to defend your doctrine. I'd be embarrassed if I was you too, so don't feel bad. If you did know your doctrine you could type an intellectual response, but clearly you can't, you'd just look like more of a fool trying to prove a false cult like Mormonism true so its ok.
