Exercising my first amendment rights

Apr 08, 2008 21:12

Recent discussions between myself and a friend (some of which I've posted here) have made me decide that it's time to get off the fence and inform the church that I'm no longer a member despite what they may think. This evening I hand delivered a copy of the following letter to the bishop of the ward in which I currently live. Shawn came with me ( Read more... )

I have to applaud your actions here. Firstly, it was a very well-written letter. Secondly, I think it took a lot of guts to walk in there and hand this letter over and I'm glad the bishop you spoke with was respectful of your choice.

I will now join you in your celebratory Snoopy dance!

I am so happy for you, Kathy! I mailed mine on Monday, so hopefully it is now in the right hands. Yay, freedom. I wish you were in San Diego so we could celebrate together. Congratulations!

hi! my name is Jim, and i'm lil_princess121's friend. i understand that you've left the mormon church, and i'm going to do the same thing. in fact, i believe that awhile back i CC:'d you in an email response to Sarah about some of the issues that she was experiencing with her family.

do you mind if you and i are LJ friends? i respect the process that you've been through with mormonism, and i'm especially interested in how you chose to turn in your resignation... i think i'd like to approach it the same way.

how did you find out who your local bishop was? i've been away from the mormon church for so long (and moved so many times) that i'm curious how you approached this whole thing.

hope to hear from you! :)

I don't mind at all adding you as my friend. I'm flattered. Though I expect you'll find I'm rather dull and don't post nearly as often as I really should. Still, we post-mormons need to stick together. Speaking of which...I posted a little more about how things are going in a thread called 'godspeed' over at postmormon.org. I'll probably copy it over to LJ if I can keep that thought in my brain long enough to accomplish it. Seems like everything gets put on the back-burner until I neglect to do it at all.
