I moved with my family out of state a while back, I attented for a few months and then I quit and I've been slowly workin gmy way way out. According to my wife (who still attends) i'm out, I don't pay, I dont go I don't read. I feel like i'm still working out the psychological stuff of being dedicated to something that is suddenly taken away. Anyway, I've talked with my dad a little bit, he knows I don't go to church anymore but I don't think he knows i've removed my garments. I've not really told my whole family, just talked to my dad. I haven't said a word to my in-laws. I keep wondering if I just need to do it. We live far away so it's not ever been an issue. My wife is pregnant right now though, and questions will come up about the blessing. I'm kind of afraid to tell my inlaws, I don't really think my worst case would happen, but I am slightly concerned that my MIL would try to take my kids.
I feel like it might be enabling to just come out and stop worrying that i'll be found out, but at the same time I just don't want to be judged (which is one of the oppressive things that I realized was bothering me about the church to begin with).
