My family's feelings be damned. With BKKKP's talk, it time. Time to officially get out of the church. I haven't thought of myself as Mormon for over 2 decades, but I've not written the letter to save my family's feelings. I don't think I can do it anymore. I am thinking of the guy/gal that wrote that really funny exit letter and had it on his/her blog. Something like that might be good. Does anyone have that link?

And, if my family lives in a different state, what is the chance that they'll find out from the Morg? Any actual experiences in this matter would be appreciated.

or have close connections to those in your home ward.

It does sometimes come to their attention during tithing settlement, but only if the bish points it out or if they happen to be looking for it.

Very long but very funny! It will give you some ideas for your letter.
