Hi all again.
my thanks go to many posters on this site who have answered responses and when needed given clear historical facts / sources.
For those of you who have followed the story, you will remember me discussing the hell of when i left the church, the drama of getting my kids out, and the on-going mental torture watching my wife being a TBM and giving money and time to these bloodsuckers.
The starting point of this was a few years ago when she started with the "can the missionaries come for dinner"routine.
That was it....I started with a book written in 1912 about the mormons and went from there. She went ballastic, super sonic ballastic, screaming shouting and despared when she found me reading these books.
I found this forum and bounced around the net from there.
I went as far as reading pro-books as well.
The restoration by ivan j baratt was particulary painfull, but i read it all, highlighted all the pages and de-bunked the history in it.
I started this historical factual mission to remove my name from record without distressing her too much. I wanted to wind her back from being a TBM to a jack-mo.
After she found the books i asked her questions.
This turned into planned de-conversion and constructive planting of seeds.
I have also discussed here my sadness at watching my wife's faith disappear and her anger at the "why didn't they tell me this ? i have been in it 30 years"
It has been one hell of a ride............
I left 15+ years ago and only now...today ... do i feel a line is being drawn under it all.
Its official : She stopped wearing G's and has not been for 5 + weeks.
She has asked me to draft a letter saying she will not be returning to the local ward to furfill her calling and to release her from it..
I eargly await the "love" that is too come my/her way.
i have briefed her on what is likely to happen, and she has said. "bring it on"
The best bit of all this ............
She got into the library at the local ward....AND ...
GOT ME AN ACTUAL-GENUINE COPY OF THE ENSIGN - JULY 1993.
I am sure you all know what lies in these pages.
It meant an awfull lot to my wife. This was the fact that started the floodgate of doubt.
i am looking forward to the member visits and the magic hat conversation. And the "thats anti -mormon lies" part. "Ohh" i can say, "lets look at page 62..."
To all the RFM community I want to say THANK YOU ..
I have had to post under many names as i suspect people have been looking here and after the love bombing on my daughter i have had to tread carefully.
I hope you long time posters, readers and lurkers can put together my story from the various posts.
To all the distressed part mo-couples out there ...there is hope....but it is a LONG road.
And....
This would be one hell of an exit story start to finish and i may put all of it together one day...
I will let you all know the outcome of this saga...but for now
THANK YOU.
I could thank certain posters individually , but you all know who you are...
