No, and I had to make it known that my children and I were no longer members. Period!
The Mormon leaders had physically abused my children, and my little girl had been molested by the bishop's son. She was asleep in her sleeping bag, and the creep did a lot more than the guy on the plane did to Elizabeth Smart. My daughter screamed, and there were kids that saw what was happening, but the bishop threatened the kids not to tell. He said that if the parents found out, there would be no more camp-outs or activities of any kind, and that everyone would hate the snitch who told. When my daughter finally told us, we all cried, and I promised my kids that they never had to go there again. Previously, I had actually thrown one Mormon leader out of my house. I heard my little boy crying, and came into the living room, and there was this thug, carrying him towards the door, to force him to go to some church thing. When I told him to put my son down, the creep started arguing with me. I finally yelled that I was calling the police, and started to dial 911, and the man actually ran out of the house. This guy was later promoted to Stake President.
I let the Mormons know that I had quit my three callings, effective immediately, and that I had taken my children out of harm's way, and that no one was to ever lay a hand on them, again. They harassed us, in the extreme, coming into our house, when my kids would obey them and open the door to them, and threatening us, and maligning me in front of the kids. Two neighbors were comparing me to a member of the ward who was a drug dealer, who had abandoned her children, and my oldest son stood up and said, "This conversation is OVER. You must leave, now." I stood up, and we escorted the men out, without saying another word. The late-night door pounding didn't stop until I officially resigned. I had written in my letter that should there be any more contact from the Mormons, we would call the police. I installed a chain on the door, and a "No Solicitors" sign. My kids had learned the hard way, to not open the door.
Officially resigning, and threatening police action were the only things that worked, in our case. Being "less active" wasn't enough. After the nastiness and intimidation died down, the arrogant Mormons tried being nice, to pressure me into playing the organ and teaching organ lessons--as if!!! I told them to hire a paid organist, like the Christian churches did.
I can't imagine still being a member of that nasty cult, and dealing with those nasty bullies and pervs. Over half of the RS RS were on drugs of some kind--antidepressants, tranquilizers, most took Ambien every night and lived on Coke or Pepsi all day. We took a poll. The man I called the police on had a criminal record of manslaughter, and had been acquitted. (I didn't know that, until after we resigned, but he was very scary.) My home teacher was a crook who made the front page of the paper, when he declared bankruptcy, and caused some Mormon neighbors to lose their houses, that they had mortgaged to join his get-rich-quick scam. One wife told me about her attorney husband's crooked business dealings, and was deciding whether or not to divorce him. The Stake president's councellor was caught having an affair with our next door neighbor's son's wife. No one was excommunicated for that. Most of the ward kids turned out badly, too, with drug and alcohol abuse, unwanted pregnancies, and the ugly bishop's son who molested my little girl molested his own daughters, and was divorced, but quickly married someone else in the temple and became the ward's Elder's Quorum President. There are about 30 more horror stories, that you would not believe, about this quiet middle-class Utah Mormon neighborhood! I know some of the happenings, from when I was assigned to the older Mormon Single Adults. Single women were easy prey. I did not want anything to do with all that corruption, and JS's evil cult of lies.
I feel like resigning all over again. Why do it just once? Having my kids resign with me was satisfying. I wish I could have sued, but my attorney friends said I didn't have a chance. The bishop was an attorney, who later became a temple president and a Seventies. He hit on me, and one of my single friends, and one of my married friends. These were women who told the truth. My married friend's husband left the church, immediately, and my friend did a few years later. The idiot who threatened me with failure in life and failure for my children, beat his son bloody, in front of my kids and others.
Who do these horrible people think they are, imposing themselves into my life, and my children's lives, and into our happy home?
Resigning isn't enough.
