To clarify, I only contacted my bishop AFTER I resigned, and basically gave him a heads up e-mail that he would be receiving my resignation letter. I didn't provide any detail initially, just that my reasons were doctrinal. He did e-mail me back which then turned into a conversation. He was primarily counselling me to keep my faith in JC and all that. I went to tell him about my concerns with the church and my reasoning for leaving. He testified more about JC. He asked me if I was reading my scriptures, praying daily yadda yadda.
Anyway, in a way I was glad to have had the chance to vent to him (I posted my e-mails with him a few weeks back)
