Overdue Update : exmormon

Authored by np.reddit.com and submitted by SushiBarExam

As I sit and enjoy a beer in this monster rainstorm, I am thinking about how fun it has been to watch the growth here over the last year or so. This is still the best community on the internet and getting better every day. I personally know many people whose lives you have touched and improved just by existing. Not to mention the thousands you have helped in their faith crises and transitions.

I wanted to give you guys an update on total numbers of resignations I have processed through Quitmormon.com and otherwise.

Frankly, I don't have a firm number. Maybe someday I'll be able to count up all of the confirmation letters I have in my office and in storage. But it's in the neighborhood of 22k! There are reams and reams of paper. I owe you all a lot of beers. We are getting close to 10k on the site alone! More come through every day.

Huge thank you to u/Xiac!!! That guy deserves absolutely all the credit for QM.com's progress over the last year. He has worked tirelessly to constantly improve the site for users and for me. He has saved me hundreds of hours by making the interface so friendly to everyone. Your very kind donations have made it possible to keep improving the site and allowed us to contemplate expanding our services.

Eventually, we'd like to be able to do things such as name removal for the deceased, protection against unauthorized baptisms for the dead and underage children, and other services you, our clients, have been requesting such as taking on unique cases or circumstances.

One thing we have noticed is we are having a backlog of children who are under age 8 or who were never baptized not having their names removed. This is something we are looking into, communicating with church lawyers about, and will hopefully have results soon. These account for the largest backlog of resignation requests at the moment.

If you are still waiting for a confirmation and are an adult, rest assured that we resubmit resignations that have not been confirmed periodically until they are finally processed. Please do not hesitate to submit a support ticket through the site or message me on here. I want to make sure every one of you is taken care of.

I must also thank the multitude of volunteers and offers to help us help others resign confidentially and quickly. Several of our volunteers answer basic support tickets on the site.

We've had a Twitter account for a while with periodic updates on resignations as they are submitted and total numbers. Give us a follow if you are into that kind of thing.

In addition, we just launched a Facebook page that we hope will allow people to tag us in groups and conversations to help others who might not find this wonderful sub. Give us a "like" if it's convenient!

Thank you to everyone that has called, emailed, submitted support tickets, written reviews, sent letters-cards-and-gift cards, bought me a beer, or even given me a tour of your cool workplaces and taken very professional photographs of me. You are all too kind and reaffirmed my belief that being good doesn't require gods.

If there is ever anything more I can do for you, let me know. I will try to make it happen.

Edit 2: I still enjoy talking to your bishops for you.

...why does that sub have a picture of a guy with his face in a hat at the top?

I know very little about Mormonism, is it a rite of some sort?

He processed my resignation! It's a great service.

Can you give some more context here? Why do you have to "resign" from the church?
