There was a Mormon massive resignation scheduled for July 25^th 2015 in Salt Lake City. Unfortunately, I did not make it. Here is the link about the 2015 mormon massive resignation: http://fox13now.com/2015/07/25/nearly-100-submit-resignation-letters-to-lds-church/ Another link for Mormon massive resignation in 2015: http://www.sltrib.com/home/2768326-155/latter-day-saints-gather-outside-mormon-headquarters

While reading about the massive resignation, I came across the information of Bishop Earl Erskine, ex Mormon that interviews other ex-mormons. If you like to read about him and watch the interviews, here is the link: http://www.exmormonfiles.com/

I think something interesting to note is that this was not the first massive resignation. There have been other massive resignations before. Here is the link for Facebook pages that promoted a massive resignation back in 2014: https://www.facebook.com/events/776471005720057/ and https://www.facebook.com/events/278142279028000

The purpose of the resignation in 2014 was to protest the excommunication of Kate Kelly and John Dehlin. I have to say I was tempted to resign that year as well. I do not agree with excommunication unless is for real serious reasons like domestic violence, rape, murder, pedophile, fraud, harrassment, bullying, physical abuse, etc. It’s not fair to excommunicate people just for differences in opinions or interpretations of doctrine and religion.

One of the reasons people gave for abandoning the Mormon Church was the political activism against gays/lesbians. I personally, am disgusted with the church actions against gays and lesbians. I did not know about it until I started to research and what I found out was not pretty. I just wish everyone would have access to this information and then, they could decide if they want to stay in this church.
