Be sure to read the lead-in, in truth few will appreciate this as much as those of us who have escaped the Mormon “Cult”.

"Escaped"? Now you are being melodramatic.

People leave the LDS Church all the time. It is not difficult; just ask to have your name removed. (I have processed a few such requests myself.) Or if you prefer, just quit attending.

I quit attending many, many, years ago. But if you come from a family with over a century and a half of history in “The Church”, escape is not as easy as you might think.

Until all my living ancestors are in the grave I’ll not really be free of that “religion” (I have to be careful or I’ll get vulgar). And even then ther’ll still be repercutions, I’m sure.

It’s not an easy thing when you have thousands of relatives who stand against you, ready to defend a fictitious religion.

It’s a lot like the story of “The Emperor’s New Clothes” gone mad, where the Innocent kid gets persecuted for not buying into the lie.

just quit attending

Doesn't really work. Every few years you'll get an eager-beaver new EQ President and some home teachers will start bugging you again. :o)
