The main reason is that I don’t feel called by God to join.

Have you prayed and asked God to reveal the truth of the Book of Mormon to you?

The Mormons say that If you are sincere in your prayer, that God will give you a burning in your bosom and you'll know the truth of the book of Mormon and then you will have a testimony that Mormonism is the one true church on the face of the earth.

Have you tried it?

What's stopping you?

This is quite an interesting tactic you are employing. I will leave it to the mods to judge intent.

But your words are cynical and full of pain. I hope that you find relief from that pain.

James says it best. Especially versed 6 and 7. We can't expect answers when we have doubt, contention and ill will. Pure and complete faith is a requirement in order to receive any such spiritual manifestations from the Holy Ghost.

James 1:5-7

5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and dupbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.
7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.

Moroni also said it very clear here:
