I have decided to resign from the Church. It's going to be delivered on November 4, 2008, along with other resignations from the SignForSomething.org campaign.
My letter is going to be long, and it's going to be personal. I am even debating writing it by hand instead of by computer to make it even more personal. I am planning on sharing exactly how I feel about each and every problem I have with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, and I really hope someone other than Greg Dodge reads it.
I know I am in a dream world thinking that my letter would actually make a difference to the men in charge of the organization, they will write me off as a sinner as soon as they realize it's a resignation letter... but it's my goal to make a difference somehow.
I can't ignore how they treat people anymore. By not doing anything, I am just as guilty.
When I am done writing the letter (it's nowhere near done... sorry) I will post it on the blog. It's a very personal look into my life, much more so than just revealing my real name. I am not in hiding anymore. I have nothing to be ashamed of.
It feels good.
Andee
Me.
WindySydney began as an online journal detailing my exit from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Since leaving the Mormon Church, I have come to the conclusion that religion does more harm than good. I have also become an atheist, looking for logic and reason instead of accepting things on faith.
I also blog about things going on in my life. I am learning photography, I have a severe addiction to diet coke, I am a proud vegetarian, and I have two of the cutest cats in the world. Life is officially an adventure without the magical fairy-tale ending. I plan on enjoying it.
