Looking forward to confirmation that we are out, but I'm OK to celebrate a bit early!
Huzzah!!!
I love news like this. But don't expect them to mention this next April Conference... Those bastards have to hide sooooo many facts.
yet more tithing dollars those rotten TSCC crooks will not be getting.
What is best in life?
Seeing nuclear "DNA" mormon families leaving, and hearing the lamentations of their "presidents".
That is best in life. Bravo!

Ouch! The bishop will be getting quite a bit less money from SLC to run the ward budget with seven fewer bodies in attendance. And your family will have more time together and more money to help raise the kids.

So nice when a whole family leaves together.
Just think how many future generations and posterity have been spared because of your singular act of kindness and compassion?
May the force be with you, and congrats. :)

All this would have been unthinkable to "business executive" Gordon Hinckley back in 1998/2000/2002. It looked then as if the LDS monopoly on eternal progression would lead to perpetual income and endless growth.
Brave family..Schools start soon. Any school age children who might face some backlash? Give extra special support. Us Pediatricians always think about kids...

We need to meet Ed. We probably wouldn't be sober very long though....

How lovely that all of you were able to leave together. :)
7 is, in this case, a lucky number :)
Welcome to a world without the cult hounding you.

Congratulations on breaking the chain. I'm working on it with my children, but they are older. I'm 50/50 now.
You chose wisely. Congrats!
Macbeth, Act IV, Scene 1
THIRD APPARITION:
Be lion-mettled, proud, and take no care
Who chafes, who frets, or where conspirers are.
Macbeth shall never vanquished be until
Great Birnam Wood to high Dunsinane Hill
Shall come against him.
MACBETH:
That will never be.
Who can impress the forest, bid the tree
Unfix his earthbound root?
GETBUSYLIVIN:
News for Elder Macbeth:
The Wood is on the march
And so are those who've tasted truth
And now reject the threat of death
Whose lips the church once parched
Now cut their wisdom tooth
Moroni's tarnished trumpet toots no more
And Cult Corp. slowly sinks, an evil bore

Congratulations! 5 of us in our family resigned this past weekend and also looking forward to confirmation that we are out :)
Yay! 7 more and the future of moism is shrinking daily.
4 of us left together, but it has grown in number as grandchildren are born that aren't going to be mormon. It's a great feeling knowing they won't be indoctrinated to the point of needing therapy to escape the cult in later life.
Free is a good feeling.

Wonderful
Wow. This may be the largest family resignation I've heard about. I'm hoping this was your entire family. So happy when people can do that and all move on together. Congrats. You have no idea how much fuller your life will be now.
Congratulations OP
Congrats....BIC or not? How wonderful for your family. Enjoy freedom.
I'm so proud of you all!
All of my children resigned with me, too. Before that, religion was our major bone of contention. Now, we are all in agreement. We spend Sundays (and also Saturdays) together.
You will probably be shunned by the Mormons. (I love every one of my Mormon "former-friends", and I was quiet and polite about leaving). My children were shunned and undermined in school, but they could see how petty and mean these kids were. They rose above it by being kind to others, not racist, not sexist, not homophobic. They made great non-Mormon friends in school--life-long friends, including their future spouses and future business partners. They are adults, now, and they get together with their children for barbecues, camping trips, skiing, etc.
Whatever the Mormons throw at you now--shunning, gossiping about you, rude behavior, back-stabbing--will never be as bad as spending one more day in that cult!
I promise you and your family will be happier than you ever imagined! You deserve it!

Thanks for the support, everyone! We were all BIC and this has been a long time coming, so no worries about shunning or issues with friends or family. Those issues have already been dealt with.
I can hardly wait to read your story in the Deseret News!
