A few days after the passage of Prop 8 I sent in my letter of resignation to the records department of the LDS Church stating that I wanted my name removed from the membership roles of the LDS Church. Round 1 I received a letter confirming my request and saying that my bishop would be contacting me about my request. Round 2 A few minutes ago there was a knock on my door and I opened it to see two LDS missionaries standing there. One of them stuck out his hand and said "Brother Monroe, we see that your name is on the membership rolls of the Church and we are going around trying to get to know our members better." I took that as meaning request denied. I said "I resigned from the Church because of Proposition 8 and I am no longer a Mormon." I shut the door in their faces. I don't like to be rude, but the Church is really starting to piss me off.
I put a copy of my resignation letter in my first diary on this subject. I thought I was pretty clear that this was no fucking request. So now here I am sitting in my corner preparing for the next round. I quess I could let things stand as they. I am not a Mormon because I say I am not a Mormon. But I want them to acknowledge that fact. Do they think they can just ignore me? Although I am not gay myself I have family members who are and I condsider gays to be my political allies. I want the LDS Church to realize that actions have consequences. So here I sit plotting my next move. Should I threaten legal action or just skip that part and start looking for an lawyer? I know that others have had this same problem so I expect there are lawyers out there with expierence in these matters. Church ain't over quite yet.
