"We love and respect every member of the Church. People make their own decisions about the direction they will follow in life," Purdy said in a statement. "While there are very few who take this action, it is sad to see someone choose to leave. We wish them well."

This quote from the Reuters article got me thinking about what a lie it is to say very few take this action to resign. Just on the exmormon board alone people post daily about resigning, leaving or not believing. So, I thought that it would be interesting to do a running total of exmos. Just take the number from the previous post and add to it.

I will start. DH, Me & our 3 children are all exmormons (and so proud).

5

Me, mom, and sis. Plus your 5 makes 8.

Haha make it a nice round 10

me + hubby+2 kids=13

Me and all my kids = 10 for a total of 23.

Ana

Me and my daughter = 25

=28

Me and my brother =30. As well, our parents and older brother, but all three passed on w/o knowing they needed to resign to be considered " former members".

Me for 31

And Michael Purdy, does the expression "leaving in droves" ring a bell?

That's it?

me and my boyfriend make 33 :)

Both of us + 3 kids = 5
Sister's entire family = 7
Another sister and her husband = 2
A brother and his son = 2

So 16 + 31 = 47

So a recalculation - 47 + 2 from ymountain = 49

Why not jump ahead to the 8-9 million of us that are actually out there?

Me, my ex husband and my brother = 52

52 + Mr. and Mrs. Southern ExMo = 54

None of us have officially resigned but we are all out of the church: Me, my two kids and my sisters family makes 8. So that makes 62

Resigned? No...

Gone like a cool breeze? Four in this family.

66

I was the only officially baptised one in my family (kids had not been when I asked for name removel) so I will say 1 for myself. My sister and her son=3. And my SIL and her daughter adds two more.

So 75+5=80
