Just curious. Is “Confidential Records” a nice person. Why in the world would they not have a warm body sign this?

Anyway, congradulations!

The LDS confidential records office processes hundreds of these name-withdrawals every day. There are just too many too have them all hand-signed. Can you say writer’s cramp? Owwwwww.

Makes sense. I had no idea there were so many people leaving. Even so, if I was to receive an official letter I would expect it to come from someone with a name and their official capacity within that organization identified. They don’t have to hand sign them. I’m making a bigger deal out of this than is necessary but it just seemed strange to me.
 
Congrats to all those who have found the One,Holy,Catholic and Apostolic Church!

It took me 5 years to finally tell the home teachers that I wished to be removed, the main reason it took me that long is I don’t recognize the authority the mormon church claims to have on my religious standing.

When I officially resigned (late 90’s), Greg Dodge and his department had a very small staff. The idea of officially having your name removed was pretty new.

Due to the internet, and for former mormons who sought out an online community of others in similar situations ( exmormon.org) the avalanche of name removals that hit his office, his staff has become quite large.

If I recall, exmormon. org (known as “Recovery from Mormonism”) has, at least in the past, even had billboards and advertizements in the newspapers of the LDS corridor letting disaffected Mormons know of their existance.

As all communities, RfM has it’s pros and cons, but for many (including myself) it was very helpful in unscrewing and untangling the lies, the distortions of Mormonism. For many, it really is a recovery process, and many end up agnostic and even atheistic.

It’s no easy journey for those of us who were deeply entrenched. The betrayal (betrayal in the sense that when you come to know what the REAL history of the LDS church is and the kind of man JSmith and BYoung really were, not the myths and whitewashing that you get these days) of our loyalty and devotion leaves many deeply wounded and shattered.

My understanding (and I dont know how this information, if accurate, came about) is that thousands of name removal letters hit the department every year.

People just dont want to live the fraud anymore once they see the ugly foundation Mormonism is built on…
