I am an 18 year old guy who's supposed to go on a mission, but I will be coming out to my family shortly after Christmas. Inevitably, the entire ward will know of my nonbelief soon. I'm wondering if whether or not the bishop or SP or some higher-up geezer is going to excommunicate me for being atheist for so long and fulfilling certain priesthood duties during that time. And if I'm excommunicated, will I still have to formally resign in order to remove my name from their records?
For those who didn't read a thread I posted last night (too lazy to provide link since I'm on mobile), I plan on moving into my friend's home and living with their family for some time. They fully support me in my quest to begin my life outside the church.
