We haven't set foot in our home ward in 13 years. Very few there would know us, as we bailed shortly after moving here.
Now kids are gone, and I sometimes miss the social and cultural parts - I still practice the self-reliance thing, garden, etc.
The thought just crossed my mind that I could meet with the bishop and tell him I would come back, but:
I would only pay a small membership fee, say $30 per month.
I would only attend the meetings I enjoyed.
I would not accept a calling - I would volunteer to do what I enjoyed - maybe have the youth out to my farm and teach them stuff, like how to split wood and shovel manure.
I would not participate in home teaching, temple work, or missionary work.
I would not bash the church's teachings, but would only teach what made sense to me.
I would be willing to teach the concept of freedom, and how we should all be able to choose our own path. I could teach the Constitution, though their man Romney doesn't think much of it.
So, what do you think? Any chance of that working?
