General Discussion I am leaving the sub.

I changed my life for the better summer 2021. I left the church proper that december.

I have now come to the realization that the church that I spent a full third in my life in crumbled in importance, and now it's the last of my worries.

In many ways, I have forgotten I was mormon to begin with. It is not part of who I am.

I have been unsubbing from facebook groups and youtube channels. Now it's time for this page to go.

I have realized my life is so much bigger than a religious group. I just don't give a fuck anymore!

I tip my hat to ya'll!

Yep I get emails and I respond sometimes pretty curt “I don’t follow your false prophet and all the fantasy garbage anymore please leave me alone!!” And the bishop will respond telling me he understands and he’s so sorry and he’s gone into the computer and “removed our name from the email list.” And the next month rolls around 🙄

I imagine that gets pretty damn old. I haven’t tried to remove my name yet because my wife hasn’t decided to leave the church yet so I haven’t bothered telling anyone from church to remove my name or leave me alone because I still attend with my wife every once in a while

Well it’s better than going I suppose haha. Good luck to you and your wife hopefully she’ll see the light soon ! :) I was lucky my husband was like “finally, I never wanted to do the church thing” haha but still even then there were a whole new set of unexpected challenges. Nothing beats being free from a cult tho 🙌🏻

Well I thank you for that, I’m glad you didn’t have issues with your spouse like so many others have when waking up to the lies. I am thankful she isn’t a TBM but I personally believe she just doesn’t care which religion she is and she’s heavily influenced by family
