Not Much To Report

Hey, I say to everyone who's reading my captivating blog on my exit from the LDS church: WELCOME! That being said, I've not much to report, not much has happened since my family got our resignation confirmation letters. I received mine in August and my wife and son got their's in September. We ran into a member of our ward at the grocery store about a month ago and she has left with her family, her husband, son, and her mother. She keeps in contact with a few of the members and there are a few more people who are thinking of leaving the church, which is great news. Others are finally seeing the light. Other than that, not much to report. I have been using the Postmormon.org website a lot to keep in the loop of things that have been happening but I think I have to leave it alone for a while. It has been great support to me and has been very helpful in giving me information about what the church's history is really about, not the whitewashed version that we were taught for so many years. I'm feeling good about my decicion to leave, though. All I know is it will take a long time to get over what I've been through. There's an expression that a lot of postmormon's use: "You can leave the church but you can't leave it alone". That's kind of where I am now. Hopefully soon I can leave it alone once and for all. Take care, J.T.
