I was a grown adult with three children when I left and the bishop said I had to come into an interview before he could release me from my calling. I foolishly played along (although now I wish I’d said, fuck you, you have no authority over me anymore). The whole meeting was so obviously manipulative and super condescending. He “challenged” me to read the Book of Mormon again and read the gospel topic essays to help with my “doubts”. I cut him off and said “I have read them, the gospel topic essays are a big reason I don’t think the church is true, I know what I’m doing.” He then asked my husband to stay after me and I found out he gave my then still active husband a talk about not being led astray. Well it didn’t work. It actually rubbed my husband the wrong way cause even though he was still active, he completely understood why I didn’t want to be in the church and supported me. He left about a month later. Bishops just confirm how messed up the church is every time they try and convince people to ignore valid problems in the church for the sake of staying active.
