For the first half century of my life, I was VERY Mormon. I grew up in an active family. I eagerly did my duties in my Aaronic Priesthood quorums. I served a full time mission. I served in various Stake and Ward callings. I read my scriptures. I prayed. The term “Mormon” defined me more than any other demographic designation.
So when I resigned my membership a few days ago, it should have been a dramatic thing for me, but it wasn’t. When I clicked on “send” I had no more of a reaction than when I paid my electric bill online a few minutes later. I certainly felt no regret, but I also felt no relief. I’m sure my lack of reaction was due to the fact that I mentally and emotionally left the church years ago. My resignation was just a formality.
