Hey there. I haven't been on this site in such a long time, but recently my local ward has started trying to get in touch with me, and I find that I really have no idea what to do. I'd really like to resign one day, but my parents live in the same stake, and life has been very hard on them lately. While I know that my parents will always love me no matter what I do (even though I'm gay - they even love my wife of 6 years!), I don't think my mom could psychologically cope with me resigning right now. I'm planning to wait to do that until she moves to Columbus with dad for his new job, since I don't think anybody will bother telling my one remaining aunt about it. (...They won't, will they?)
So here's what's been going on: first, I got a "newsletter". I haven't thrown it out, and I'm trying to keep a written record of everything they do. Today while I was trying to get ready for a job interview, two women knocked on my door and specifically asked for "Sister B". I told them they had the wrong address, to fuck off, and not to ever come back or the police would be removing them for trespassing, but I don't think they believed me about the address.
A friend of mine who has finally managed to get out by moving 1000 miles from her parents advised me that I might try calling them and leaving a message, but I'm honestly not sure what to say. I plan to record the phone call on my computer so that I have a record of it, but I'm not sure how to phrase things to make them leave me alone.
Any advice? I'm kind of worried I'll just burst into tears and freak out like I did after they knocked and left (cried my whole way to the store for my interview), and I want to be able to sound firm, without leaving them any room to wiggle around my words to get in touch with me. What can I do? Any help would be appreciated.
