The June 1

[UVACoug]

That is surprising, considering all the crazy unbridled rage and sadness pouring out of you on these issues.

I'm still confused as to why someone who has never been confused about the "fact" that the Church is a made up fantasy led by immoral people would even need to be excimmunicated? Why would someone ever join the Church with that kind of knowledge?

I grant you my power of attorney to get it done. I'm too busy and don't care.

Just fill in the blanks, print, sign on the 'x' and mail... You will get my bill later.

To whom it may concern:


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.

Faithfully,

I want to ask a simple question, in all seriousness. Now doesn't it all come down to whether you support gay marriage and oppose the LDS patriarchy? Indeed, don't recent LDS hierarchy responses to the gay marriage revolution and the rebellion against monotheism's patriarchy cast past LDS church racism in a new light? The LDS racism wasn't an aberration, it was part of a pattern.

So, what are you going to do about it? What's more important to you? Your LDS loyalty or membership or your Civil Rights convictions (if indeed you have them).

LAUte, UVA, All-American, seriously, cut the sophistry. Anyone who doesn't denounce the LDS Church right now for its undeviating opposition to social progress has, as far as I'm concerned, made their values completely clear to me, and those values are repugnant to mine.

Meh. This letter needs some more teeth to it, like a nasty threat of lawsuit or something.

LDS affiliation is a choice.

LDS affiliation is a choice.

A darn good one at that.

I've changed my mind. I want to go out in a blaze of glory like Kate and John

I don't get why it matters if you're a member or not. The question is whether you submit. I don't agree the piece of paper means anything.

[SoonerCoug]

A darn good one at that.

Please defend this statement. Explain to us all why it's such a good thing to belong to an aggressively anti-gay, sexist, totalitarian, historically racist religion.

[Pheidippides]

I think it would be hilarious if they went after Brother Jake next.

So does he.

They won't answer you, SU! They're so scared of your inquisition they'll log out for a week just to avoid this thread. So chickenshit.
