“Siblings and parents disown you, church leaders tell your spouse to divorce you (in favor of someone worthy), kids don’t talk to you.

It isn’t ALWAYS the case, but often.”

Total baloney. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Not bologna at all Paragon. It happens in real life all the time. I am an example of the shunning that takes place when you leave Mormonism. I stand outside and apart from my family of birth.

I can even find a couple of articles here on FreeRepublic where I was publicly demeaned simply for leaving the religion.

Not in the least.

I have at least 6 ex-mo friends who have had their parents and/or siblings disown them. Shawn McCraney has mentioned that their Bishop told his wife to divorce him because He left. I know 3 people who spouses divorced them because they left, and 3 others who were separated because one of them left. It happens all the time.

Here are a bunch of stories similar to what I have seen:

A little over simplified, but still effective.

Keep up the good work...
