Question

i am sorta..but i hate it. but i have this bishop that has been trying to get me to talk to him...i hate that.i don't want to. and i don't want to go to their early morning semirany (6:oo am!)..or what ever its called...can you...un-join a Church? can you're parents force you to be a religion? Can't stand it! The Church leaders are Nozie & there activaties are lame... sorry about the spelling, thank you! Love ya'll

Answer 1

The easiest way is to just stop going if that is what you want to do.

Answer 2

Your parents can't force you to be a certain religion, but I don't know about changing without their permission.

Just out of curiousity, why don't you want to stay in the LDS church? I can understand about not wanting to get up so early for seminary, my kids are the same way.

What is so "Nozie" (I assume you mean "Nazi"?) abut the church leaders?

I'm going to assume here, and guess that there are things that you do, or want to do, that your church leaders don't approve of?

Answer 3

If you are old enough to make your own choices then you should be able to decide for youself if you want to be part of a church or not. Talking to your parents about your thoughts and feelings will require a lot of maturity on your part and not just comments like the church leaders are nozie. If you do not want to go to church then you need to be honest with your family. Obvously they want you to go since obviously those our their beliefs and going to church is usually a family thing.
Try being honest and see where it gets you.

Answer 4

I am actually Mormon. You're bishop I imagine is just concerned about you, if you really don't want to talk then just tell him, its not a big deal. You really don't have to go to seminary, activities, or church if you don't want to, though your parents might force you. If they do, go with an open mind, you might enjoy it more than you think. As for church leaders being Nazis, I fail to see your point since they can't really force you to do anything you don't want to do. I'm not really sure why you hate the church that much, it makes me a little sad to be honest, but I respect your choice to leave the church if you really don't feel its where you should be (to leave it just simply don't go to anything church related... ever).

Answer 5

Sounds like you need to work on your relationship with your parents. It also sounds like you are somewhat immature, but that's not a big deal, we all were at some time. The sooner you master the skill of sitting down and having rational conversations with your parents the better of you will be. That being said, I think until you're an adult you should respect your parents and their wishes. Once you're an adult you can do whatever you want. I'm certain they want what's best for you and they have been through life's experiences to have a legitimate opinion. My mother taught my brothers and I about the Mormon religion and desired for us to go, but also taught us to seek truth and to become educated. My brothers are no longer Mormon but I am. Good luck.

Answer 6

Have you once thought that they want whats best for you?

I have a saying that goes "before you blame the world for your problems, look at yourself first." Why do you think they are Nazis? do they force you to do thinks you don't like? I must admit that a lot of activities are lame (or could be better) and the seminary can be a pain. Your still young, be careful some of things you might think are "fun" could possibly get you in trouble. But, if you really don't want anything more to do with them then talk to them. the more you try to avoid them, the persistent they will be. Tell them what you think / feel and why. If they really want whats best for you they will respect your thoughts. Again, don't do the cowards way out be running away, things could get unimaginably bad.

Answer 7

An interview with the Bishop is a Holy and Sacred privilege. He will inquire as to your worthiness and testimony, but most important, if you're male, do you masturbate? If female, you may wish to volunteer this information also.

Answer 8

I was raised in a Mormon home. When I was about your age (seminary age) I realized that Mormonism wasn't for me. I rebelled against my parents (which I regret) and they eventually saw I was miserable and that it was in my best interests to choose my own church. Many years later I was exposed to the real Christ (not Lucifer's bro.) and became born again.

I know I am right with God, that I will live with Him for eternity. I know this because the Bible tells me that Christ died for my sins and that only faith gives us standing before God, that all our works are like filthy rags. Temple works, etc... don't get you a higher place in heaven, as a matter of fact if you trust in those things to get you a higher place in heaven you are guaranteeing you will have no place in heaven.

Now my family has joined me at my church and they have a real saving faith in Christ. I pray that you will find the truth, as it is written in the Bible and trust in Christ's finished work on the cross as payment for your sins..

Answer 9

I was born into it sixth generation, they don't believe in freedom of religion and will continue to force you until you turn eighteen and can make your own choice. I feel for you, I really do...they do not allow anyone to quit the church but will ex-communicate you there are lawsuits pending over this by people who wanted to quit and the church said no and ex-communicated them, they are suing as they did nothing wrong and that's what ex-communication makes it look like.
Mormons force their children against their will it is their way.

Peace and Love and know that it won't last forever, you will be a adult one day and can make your own choice whether they like it or not.

Answer 11

I am not a Mormon. If you don't want to talk to the Bishop, you are not obligated to do that. If you want to find out what to do to "unjoin" the church, talk to people at one of the following places:
