Just Go Away
I'm so tired of all of this. I never really had a problem with the church as an organization. I just don't believe in what it teaches. The hardest part about leaving wasn't that I felt lied to, it wasn't that I was offended by the bishop, it is that my family just won't drop it.
They keep treating me like I'm a non member in the most basic sense. They try to pull stuff on me that I can see through 100%.
Watch this talk from general conference with an open heart
Are you trying to read the scriptures?
Don't be like Korihor... he wanted a sign too. (Which by the way, I never said I want a sign, when it comes to faith at the moment, I just don't care.)
Watch the video on Youtube called Glenn Beck on Mormonism.
Like I said, I never hated church before now. But now that it just won't go away (family's fault of course), it's getting pretty irritating.

Thanks for sharing. I am sure that must be frustrating!! I hope that eventually your family will be able to move on.
Thanks! Me too.. :P
"I was like the spy who had defected. I knew their tactics, and they would not be used against me."
I've kind of lucked out... My parents blew up when they found out my testimony was wavering, and we haven't spoken since. At times I miss not having them in my life, or that my kids are missing out on Grandparents, but sometimes I have to wonder if it wasn't for the best.
Hang tough, remember that its not necessarily them talking, but all the programming they've been subjected to over the years, and know that there's a whole community of us out here pulling for you guys - You're not alone by any means!
Koda,
Your comment makes me sad. I think that's horrible that your parents just cut you out of their life (although I admit, sometimes I wish I lived far away and never had to be around family members who make me feel so awful). My father, unlike my mother, doesn't bring up church with me anymore, and actually our relationship is pretty good. However, things are a little strained with my mother still. I can only handle her in small doses. Anyways, I wish she could be more like my dad, who is putting our relationship as a father and a daughter first, and religious differences, second.
