Thanks for all the sweet thoughts. I will follow the info here. I didn't know about the member #. The last official thing I had in the church was my baptism. I will ask the bishop around here to get that for me. My records didn't follow me to the city I moved to 30 years ago. When my mother had asked me where I wanted them I told her if you send them here I will resign. Haven;t been bot

My father passed away last week. He was always loving and respectful of my choice to stop being a Mormon at 15. I am 64. I always planned to have it removed after he passed away. I have read on here that the church on purpose lefts them know. I think this still might have hurt him He was my rock and an unconditional parent. Is the Quit Mormon.com the easiest way to go forward? I do

IN this case they couldnt find any hilltop land. Udot has purchased all of that for the raod project on 89. The tempke site is a stones throw from Smiths, Mcdonalds, cal ranch, Chevron.

I have read that having your doctor switch you to valium is an easier withdrawal. Longer half life. There is a message board called Benzo Buddies that is a world of help.

I left at 15 in the 70’s. I suppose I was lucky that my parents truly believed in free will. From a young age it never felt right to me, so I didn’t pay attention in church. I actually learned what I was being taught when I found this board. I imagine it would have been more challenging for people before the internet.

This afternoon a man made the unfortunate mistake of knocking on my door to talk to me about my signature on the petition for MMJ. After letting him talk for a few minutes, I asked why he thought he had any business asking people to take back the signature. He wanted to explain to me how deceiving the info for the petition was. I explained to him that I was tired of the LDS church sticki

My uncle told me this AM that Uchtdorf is perceived well by the youth. They need him to focus on trying to stop the hemoraging in that age group.
