I dropped mine in the mail a year ago, in Nov '08. I got my confirmation of removal in Feb '09.
It took longer than I expected. There was the usual letter back saying it's a local effort, and then I got a letter from my bishop asking me to call him etc. and then finaly the confirmation letter from HQ that I was indeed no longer a Member.
That is when the feeling hit me that indeed I had finally cut the cord for good. But what was that feeling like? Wow. I'm still exploring it.
Well, I am feeling like I might be at a similar point as you...I just haven't put my letter in the mail yet. I am not sure why I haven't done it, and seeing you do it makes me admire your courage.
My blog is all about life--the things I experience and feel, the people around me, and my views and opinions. You ever wanted to see the world through someone elses eyes? Here is your chance...see the world through mine.

Complete with Marge Simpson stamp! LOL. I hope you find all the happiness you seek Ezra.
LOL, I think the Marge Simpson stamp is awesome! haha. Especially considering the return address is in Hollywood.
LOL--the only funnier place for Marge was the cover of Playboy :)
Good luck, Ezra--I wish you all the best.
Love the stamp.
I know this is painful, but it's an important step. Congratulations!

I can't believe you did it... I guess I should get my act together, and just finish it off too!
