How does someone change their religion, especially if it's a Mormon religion, where they don't leave you alone? How does someone write a letter regarding this to confirm their decision to be removed from their religion list? What if the Mormon church refuses, or ignores a request, then what? Can an attorney be involved?

Contrary to many of you, this is a big deal, certain kinds of Mormon churches harass, ignore, and deny requests. Many people have sort out an attorney over this. This is not like any other religion.

The great thing about being American, AND being in the United States is that we have the freedom of religion clause. ( Being that NO law can establish or hold one religion over another)
You are free to make your own decisions, and if you feel that you need permission, or other works, to make your own decision, then it is not yours to make.
Any time you depend on anothers guidance to get you some where else, you give up a part of yourself, and are not in control of the situation.
Your statement appears to be one of self influence, and to ask permission in order to achieve it, takes it away.
Do as you wish, and do not let ANYONE dissuade you from it.
So long as you are not hurting others, go with God.
If you are involved in a "religion", that needs a lawyer to get out of it, then it sounds like a cult!!
To believe you cannot just walk away sounds like the mob!!
God is the only one you should fear, and to worry about mans wrath instead of Gods wrath means your loyalties are messed up.
Grow some courage, and just leave.

I didn't realize that there was a great big list involved with changing of a religion. You should know in your heart that Mormonism or whatever isn't right, and that should be enough. If they refuse, then they certainly do not practice what they preach. Then again, I know Mormons are not the most tolerant people outside of what they conceive to be the truth. Anyway, I don't think it has to be such a huge deal. Just roll with whatever happens.

Any time a person accepts truth of the Messiah (and there is no other truth) there will be people who resist truth, and try to hold you back. You must be faithful to the Almighty, and He will give you a crown of life. I would not think that an attorney would need to be involved, unless you would need an injunction(by the court) to keep them from bothering you. The Mormon's are certainly persistent. I have not experienced them being obnoxious. If you know scripture (which they pretend to believe) you should be able to cause them to question some of their "anti-christian" beliefs. Certainly if you can do that, they will leave you alone. The Almighty's name is YHVH. There is a Savior, His name is Yahoshua. We are saved to obey, not to disobey, His word (scripture)

Unless things are different in the Mormon church compared to others, there is no "legal contract" that is to be terminated or broken.
If I no longer consider myself a Mormon, Jew, athiest or whatever, I would just start practicing what I "DO" believe in.
Its a personal decision, not that of the church or lawyers.

freedom to change your religion is part of Human Rights
Just leave, if it is difficult, go away out of their reach
If you still want to stay around, report this to the authority
