A question for SeecNoEvil: does resigning help you "let it go?" Like let go of the anger and not dwell so much on how it's affected your life decidions starting from when you were a kid. These internet forums consume a lot of my time and just curious if it gets better after you resign. And maybe yo...

Thank you for posting this helpful message. I agree with you that it is important to remember that there is no one best way to resign, and every one has to do what seems to be the best thing for him or her. It is good to know that you have no regrets, and your message can serve as meaningful inspir...

I am happy to report that I enjoyed more than one moscato during the happy hour. It took a lot of courage for me to do it because the orthodox family is close friends with some of my family. I will say once the wife saw me drinking, she and her DH got up and went to their room for the evening. I on...

3 years ago this Monday I resigned from the church. April 23, 2015. As the day approaches I have many thoughts as I reflect on that day that day and my life since. I'd like to share my story of how that day finally came for me. I wanted to resign from the start but the thought scared me to death! I ...

Looks like I will be making a quick trip to the heart of the MorCor this weekend and plan to drop by the St. Judas ward in Draper on Sunday. I would love to see some fellow NOMies if you can make it over there. Hope to see you there!

The lot has fallen on me this week. I'm gearing up for full disengagement and would like to avoid it. So far, I'm ghosting. Any suggestions? I mean, I guess I could just do it anyway since I'm about to go inactive. My vote is to just not show up. If asked about it, say you forgot. In my old ward th...

Thanks for enlightening me. That is a good question on how this change makes it holier. Making it holier is getting rid of it all together and just being a good neighbor. You don't need a calling to be a good neighbor. As far as the #s reporting, I'm pretty sure Uchtdorf gave a talk at GC a few yea...

My husband and I are no longer comfortable attending church. We can handle the judgement from neighbors and ward members, but dread what will happen with his family. They are in our Ward and have noticed our lack of church attendance. DH makes excuses but they sound just like that- stupid excuses- ...

I know it's been a few weeks since the new ministering program was announced but a friend just forwarded me this email she received today from her RS President. Granted this is old news but I just finally got around to reading the official statement: Hello Sisters, Just a few quick notes – You may h...

SEVEN new temples? Yikes!

Wut?

Arriving late to this party.... 7 temples??!! .... this is an April Fools joke right?

Much like yours, my leaving brought that instant release from all the fears, guilt, abuse and confusion surrounding the Mormon religion that I had been born into. I never asked to be a Mormon nor did I know what that meant. Resignation is such a personal decision and just like our journeys to what ...

Congratulations on your resignation! I enjoyed your "thoughts/lessons". Beautifully stated GoodBoy. I resigned April 2015. Hindsight I probably would have done things different had I known the S-storm that was about to take place in my life around the time I discovered the truth .. most which had no...

Sorry for your loss. He sounds like a great dad with lots of love and support. {{{hugs}}} sending hugs to you and your family at this most difficult time.

I'm sorry your dad responded like that. When I came out I braced myself for the storm. I had been on the ex mo boards for years and kind of expected it. I got mainly the silent treatment which today 3 years later still exists to some extent with what family is left in the church. What I did not expe...

Lol, thanks. The responses have still been largely positive. I've had a few PM's to express disappointment with my decision. So far one wanting more information about what caused me to doubt and helped me to make the decision. I got these questions when I resigned. At first I tried to answer everyo...

This took a lot of courage. Should this ruffle a few feathers stand your ground.

She just has a cat, and maybe she'll go to his planet. Cat Planet. I actually like her Cat Planet idea. I would rather go to Dog Planet, but I've also got no problem with cat people going to Cat Planet. If JS and BY have their way every planet will be Pussy Planet! I tot I daw a puddy cat! I did. I...
