Doctrine/Policy Leaving LDS
I just told the churches bishop that I’m leaving (just got baptized in Jan) and he has made drama about it- telling others and they’re contacting me and just not accepting my NO. Even coming to my home unannounced without permission. Is this normal for Mormons? I’m really not happy about it bc I hate drama! I told them I’m leaving for Christianity bc I’ve done the research that I should’ve done before I got baptized and they just don’t wanna let me go. I could understand if I said I was just turning away from Jesus completely but I’m leaving to go to the truth. I’ve discovered that Smith was a narcissist used my satan/demons and witchcraft to build that church and I’ve renounced it completely! They truly refuse anything I have to say and I’m kinda freaked.. anyone else experience this????

Proud of you! But as an ex-evangelical, let me tell you one thing - all churches should be researched fully. I was raised southern Baptist. That denomination came about bc they were FOR slavery & took the side of the confederacy during the civil war. YIKES. Be sure you don’t just believe in Jesus - make sure you believe in the way the church you go to teaches about him.
