You don't have to do anything they ask you to do. They have no power over you. Never forget that. They assume power. Are you still sealed to an ex-spouse? You don't have to be with them in the eternities, because this is all fiction. Still getting bugged by members because they are moving too slowly on getting your name off the records? If some calls you or comes to your door, just say "not interested" and hang up or close the door. Take it from an ex-bishop, as far as the church is concerned, "resigning", in their eyes is simply a member requested excommunication, it's just called something different. Is that horrifying? Don't let it be. I'm hoping they excommunicate me. It's not a dishonor. It's a badge of honor. You didn't do anything wrong. You saved your life. Once you decided you are done, you are free. Just keep saying it: They have no power over me. I am free.
