Has anyone here been asked to leave their church or being excommunicated?

Question

It happened to me when I was 9 years old..... from the catholic church!
So I have considered myself excommunicated from the christian faith! You will be wandering the reason for that violent act to a 9 years old... Basically, I was asking to many questions, and so.... I was told that I was a bad influence to others.
Thus I embrace atheism from that time!
And I will do my best to educate others on the evil of christianity and organized religion in general.

Answer 1

I asked too many questions in CCD at age 9 that I got kicked out of it. By age 12 I had a more advanced understanding of the bible than any person I had talked to. I realized how foolish organized religion was by age 15 and by age 18 I was officially a well educated adjusted person who knew religion is propaganda designed to keep people in line. I do not delusion myself with any form of grandeur involving a mystical being that created us.

Answer 2

there is purely one thanks to get your call off the jobs of the Church and that is through excommunication. The church is hesitant to do this till significant regulations were damaged, or maybe that needs a Bishops court docket. the idea in the back of that is that there are a decision of eternal ties that are severed at the same time as someone is excommunicated, mutually with the present of the Holy Ghost. i have heard those who've been excommed say that you do not recognize what it really is pick to have the present of the Holy Ghost and then very unexpectedly no longer have that present. it really is diverse than purely no longer feeling the Holy Ghost, it really is something it really is totally scary - for some. do you pick to no longer be contacted with the help of the church, or is it that you do not pick to have ever been linked with them/us? commonly the former will be prepared with the help of contacting your Bishop and telling him that you pick to be placed on a do no longer contact record and that in case you ever substitute your concepts you'll contact them. no matter if it really is the latter of both, then commonly there's a good number of animosity in contact and the guy commonly would not care in the journey that they are excommed or no longer. because you seem to have lengthy previous to giant pains no longer to have performed something worth of excommunication, then I advise you ask to be released from any callings you've and ask to be placed on do no longer contact prestige. the purely those which will recognize is your Bishop (for sure), the RS Pres, and perchance the Stake Pres. Sorry to make sure you bypass. desire you come back lower back, finally. do purely not ignore that you're nonetheless loved, and could be welcomed lower back at any time.

Answer 3

I was asked to leave my church because a new pastor decided my playing D&D was a sin, but it doesn't mean my faith is in doubt. I still love God, and God loves me, so who cares what this pastor thinks. As for you being excommunicated for asking questions at 9, I doubt that very much. What questions were you asking? It just sounds too fishy.

Answer 4

Whomever excommunicated you from the Catholic religion did not do so according to their own guidelines.

I was raised Catholic and no longer believe in the Catholic religion; however I do believe in God. One religion cannot cause me to doubt my faith in God. They do not have that power over me.
