Anything else you want to add about this topic?

I'll start.
I officially resigned my membership (of four decades as a young adult convert baptized July 15, 1961), in March of 2002. Received my Confirmation Letter dated June 27, 2002.

because they haven't bothered me in 30 years and I don't want to get on their radar. And, because I don't agree I'm a member just because someone dipped me in water in 1968. All that did was get me wet.

Greg Dodge's office received my notarized resignation letter on June 6, 2006, or, 6/6/6. They processed it and sent confirmation later that month.

I'm excited to read that some resignations are being handled via email now!

Have not resigned...sometimes I think I should, other times I just don't care enough to put forth the energy. I'm good as dead to them-meaning no one contacts me- so no harm in going with my flow.

Have not resigned yet. FIL will disinherit DW and me. No joke. I'm totally inactive for 2 years now. When he passes, I make it official.

I resigned in September 2003, a week after I found out the truth about the real mormon church.

I reguested a no contact which is working. When they hounded me in the beginning of my exit from the church I just ignored the phones calls and knocks on the door. They got the message that I didn't want to be bothered and left me alone. Haven't had any problems since. I do get that shunning whenever I see a member in public but I just turn the other way.

No
I am in the UK. I made it clear to the bishop that I *verbally* was no longer interested in the church, and didnt want to be bothered by HT's or any outreach programs.

I have had a couple of missionaries stop by now and again, but I can handle that. I assume the 'general nevermo population' are getting bothered a lot more than I am, so I dont worry about it.

[edit . by *verbally* I mean it was a polite conversation, I just never got around to officially putting it down on paper]

I resigned in 1996 after three years of non-attendance. It took two personal visits to Mr Dodge in the COB to get them to do it, but they eventually did.

I resigned two months ago after being inactive 35 years. I was never bothered so it didn't matter to me. Then along came prop 8 and Glen Beck and I couldn't stand to be even remotely associated with the organization. It was a 40th anniversary of my temple wedding present to me.

I found out the truth of the Mormon fraud in 2002 but I haven't yet officially resigned. The mishies bug me now and then, but I just haven't felt that writing a letter is even worth the effort. I don't think that it would change my feelings any; I'm not really all that pissed off at the church. I just feel really stupid for having been duped all these years.

The bishop came over to "make sure we were serious" on July 4th (a Sunday), as we were getting ready for a barbecue with friends. We call it our Independence Day. :) The final letter came a few days later. I had been totally inactive for seven years before this, but when we moved into a new neighborhood last spring the home teacher came a knocking and didn't believe we weren't members anymore.

I resigned 5/16/2004.

They Ex'd me for good measure 9/22/2004.

Got my Greg Dodge letter acknowledging my resignation 9/28/2004.

Krazy Kult.

All correspondence was via certified mail.

Copies are available to interested ex-mos if you send a self addressed stamped envelope and $9.95 to cover handling and my lunch money.

...or I'll just email you everything as a .pdf file.

Your choice, but I can always use lunch money.
