One more poll for statistics sake. There's already a thread for the median age of the average RFM'er, and the age we stopped believing. I just thought it might be interesting to see what year we quit (thinking about that in comparison to info being available online etc...) For me, it was

1997

1981 or 1982.

Age 23 1998

Me, husband, and two kids left in 2011.

I still believed, but left so my life could fall apart without an audience.

I realized I no longer believed in the summer of 2004--just all fell apart one day. I was 47 years old.

Went inactive end of 2003 or beginning of 2004. Formally resigned in 2009.

testimony collapsed Aug2008
resigned callings Feb2010
resigned Jun2011

Stopped going in 1997, resigned in 2001.

2002, went inactive in February of that year, and resigned in October.

I never left TSCC.
TSCC left me.

Hmmmm… What difference does it make if you resigned from the Church or not?
They definitely don’t erase your records and they still count you in the members list.
I left 1973 told the Bishop what he can do with his Church and since than I call me not Mormon anymore.

statistics wise, I guess it doesn't really matter but I would hope that people who figure out TSCC is a cult/hoax would go ahead and resign at some point. It takes longer for some than others. TSCC will count the lice in primary if it benefits their membership records. When we as individuals "resign" I think it's more of a personal power thing. It was for me anyway.

It didn't matter too much to me until my mother said, "Well, OFFICIALLY you are still a Mormon." I didn't want to ever hear that designation again. Now I'm OFFICIALLY not a Mormon, in case anyone wants to know and there is no doubt.

2003, 9 years ago

1999

2012

2008

Said the F word for the first time in November 2000

New Years Resolution to stop attending church January 2001. One of only New Years Resolutions totally fulfilled. Moved into my own apartment without Mormon roomies, didn't leave a forwarding address.

Good for you! Isn't it crazy how some of us (talking about myself here) still need "therapy" even after all these years? I haven't been to church in ages but I find myself needing recovery more than ever right now. I was BIC though, so maybe that's why.

I may hold the record, never attended church after leaving home in 1958, considered there may by some truth in the church until the papyrus was returned to the church in 1967-8 and reading all I could on it, especially Nibley's genius articles in the Improvement Era that never said anything. That was the end but waited until about 1995 to remove name.

1960

2012
Easter Sunday
