I thought ya'll might be entertained. The saga of the Mormies continues.
Yesterday, for the 5th straight Monday, I came home to candy on my porch from my "visiting home teachers".
This is the result of that:
Member Records
13th Floor
50 E North Temple
SLC UT 84150 20 October 2003
Dear Sir or Madam,
This is my fifth and final letter in a year to request that my name and my daughter�s name be removed from the membership rolls of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I think that the local stake must not believe that I really wish to leave, but I am starting to get very aggravated that they are infringing upon my legal right to separation of church and state and freedom of religion. Since I wrote that first letter, I have seen 6 missionaries and four visiting home teachers. I�ve had enough. Therefore, I am forwarding this very simple request to you.
"Please remove my name and my daughter�s name from the records of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, as specified in the General Handbook of Instructions, 1989 Edition, chapter eight, page four.
You know this by heart, but these easy instructions to you state that you, as the bishop or acting authority, are to be certain that I understand the following: - that withdrawing a name cancels the effects of baptism; - withdraws the priesthood from a male member; and, - suspends temple sealings and blessings.
This request should be processed immediately, without any 'waiting periods', as my decision is unalterable. I am not going to be dissuaded and I am not going to change my mind.
I do understand these things, and make this formal, written request that my name be removed from the records of the church. Therefore, I ask you to promptly complete the form "Request for Administrative Action", and forward it to the Stake President. You will need to send me a letter, telling me that you have done so. With no further action from me the Stake President will forward this letter and the form to the Office of the First Presidency."
I will not attend any meetings at the Mormon Church with any Bishopric or priesthood holder. I will not talk to any church authority whatsoever. I wish to never set foot in that blasphemous �we will be gods someday� church ever again. Leave my daughter and me alone. They will not notate that I have been excommunicated (which is tortable), for I have done nothing to violate the church, nor do I wish for the church to perpetuate any more untruths upon my child and me.
I wish to see neither hide nor hair of ANY Mormons. No missionaries, not that I don�t love them, the poor souls. Not anyone, not a call, not anything but a letter stating that this has been done. If I am not contacted in 30 days to let me know this process has started, I will consult with my attorney. He will be very glad to help speed up this process in any way that he can.
Sincerely,
Melissa and Jacquelyn
Sorry folks, had to leave out the most pertinent information...but you get my drift. I'm sending this one today.
