Here's how to do it, summed up nice and neat (Thanks to the admins of this site). It's as simple as sending an email, which is how I resigned several years ago.
https://www.exmormon.org/remove.htmKeep in mind this important section which is often forgotten or missed:
"Remember:
"If you've said in your letter that it is your formal resignation from the church and that it is effective immediately, you become a non-member the minute they receive your letter. All the rest is just them jumping through their own hoops. You don't have to go to any interviews or invite anyone into your house, nor do you need to have a telephone conversation with anyone about your resignation. YOU get to choose whether you talk to them if they call or appear at your house."
Resigning can be difficult. The church was a major part of my life up until I realized the truth. My parents are still deeply embedded in it and it still has lasting consequences in my life, most of which I'm working to overcome.
Also, keep in mind that should anything "bad" happen after you resign, it's not due to your resignation. That's just not how life works. Sometimes bad things happen, sometimes good things happen. If you're worried about bad things happening, then it's easy to "find" them and use them as a "sign" that you should or shouldn't have done a thing. Don't go looking for problems.
Leaving the church is a positive. You are removing a weight off your shoulders and saying "No" to an abusive, harmful organization that sees you more as a resource for them, than how they can help you.
Walk away and never look back. Good luck!
