The only thing I did a little different maybe was send snail mail notes to the stake pres. and the bishop? I stated that I had sent the resignation to the COB I did not want any contact, and that I knew I was out the minute my email was opened. I got a letter back from the bishop stating he had sent notice to the stake pres. There were no calls, no visits (except on Sunday from my home teachers w

I did my weekly run to my post office box today, looking for THE LETTER. It was there! It was dated 18 February. I emailed my resignation on 21 January. So that's 20 business days from start to finish. :) dodgegw@ldschurch.org Just DO IT.

If I recall, you sent yours about the same time I did (Jan 21st). I did send letters to the bishop and the stake president stating that they would be receiving notice from the COB about my emailed resignation. I got a note back from the bishop last week saying that he had contacted the stake president and I should get official word soon. And of course, that my baptism and confirmation are no long

I have never wanted to be buried, it creeps me out. In any case, I will be donating my MS/diabetes riddled shell to the nearest medical school anatomy lab (currently the U of U), and they cremate the bodies when they are done with them.

we all get one. What I did, because I sort of know the bishop, was send him a cheery letter stating that he will be receiving a letter from Dodge and I want him to do whatever it is he has to do without contacting me or discussing the matter with my TBM grandmother, whom I live with, as it's not her business. The stake president is also getting a letter stating no contact, and he can do whatev

They won't read past the first sentence though it makes you feel better. Expect the form letter in about three days telling you that the info has gone to your stake president and bishop. You are no longer a member, so you don't have to do anything else.
