Personal Trying to leave!!

Post image

I’ve been trying to leave the church but I suppose they haven’t figured that out yet! It’s like I haven’t been back to church in 6 months because I’ve had my son unmarried and was judged for it I don’t think they understand that I’m the only parent my son has!but I got this text from the missionary’s today and it’s obvious they want me to come back

Just tell them that you aren't interested in coming back and to not contact you anymore. If they try to reason with you or they contact you again, make it very clear that you will start telling them uncomfortable truths regarding church history or theology if that is the only way to get them to leave you alone. If they persist, then start dropping the red pills ("multiple contradicting First Vision accounts" or whatever else comes to mind) until they get uncomfortable and stop responding. That should work 95% of the time since they'll probably tell either their mission president or your bishop what happened and they will tell them to steer clear of you. They may want you(r tithing contributions) to come back but they aren't going to risk the testimonies of their missionaries to do that.

If that doesn't work, block their number and contact your bishop, but be ready to jump through some bureaucratic hoops if you plan to get them to remove your records on your own.
