I did it !!!

This is for encouragement, ideas, and support for people going through a faith transition no matter where you hope to end up. This is also the place to laugh, cry, and love together.

Hopefully, the falling chips will make a smiling face.
Good faith does not require evidence, but it also does not turn a blind eye to that evidence. Otherwise, it becomes misplaced faith.

congrats! I don't know that I'll ever end up doing it, so I hope for you the consequences are not as big as you might fear.

Way to just do it and be a legend. :D

Hurry! Call the bishop, it's not too late to repent and come crawling back!!

I kid, I kid. Good for you! Now that Satan has won he can call off his demons and let you have some well deserved peace.:twisted:

Mack! Congrats again.

Was it the same Bishop as last time? How did he take it?

Nope not the same Bishop. I resigned this time via email to salt lake. Im hoping it will take less time but who knows. Dont really care at this point, it is such a relief to be free !!!! Thanks to all on this site who have helped me over the years of anguish. Ive come a long way since almost taking my own life in Dec 2018 . Thanks again to all.

Proud of you dude.

Your story has been unfolding here at NOM. I appreciate your posting and am glad you’ve stuck around and shared it with us.

So what’s next? Are you finding time for your other hobbies and things you enjoy? Mormonism is a familiar thing on both sides of belief. Find something new to do now that you’re free.

Congrats on the resignation! I did mine in 2014. Don’t know if it’s different depending on where you live but out here in Eastern Canada it has meant that not a single effort has been made by missionaries or church leaders to contact me or harass or reclaim my soul. I’ve been blissfully off the radar.

Do you mind reminding some of us what was the straw that broke your back the second time?

Congratulations! I'll add my hope that the chips land salty-side up! Or is salty-side down better? Whichever is the good one, I hope you get that one!
