[Trailblazer]

I apologize for not responding quickly to your timely replies. I appreciate all of the advice I have received on this thread. I’d like to give an update on my situation and reply to some of the questions I received.

I have greatly reduced my time I devote to church. Possible too much, but I feel good about it. My wife is a TBM, however she doesn’t like to attend church very much. Her lack of desire to attend church has made this process smooth. She knows of my situation and is okay with me figuring stuff out. We are moving soon and the bishop knows this (us moving is unrelated to my FC), this has greatly taken the pressure off from my calling. The bishop has called someone to replace me but has not released me yet.

Dande48 asked me why I choose to stay

The only reasons why I stay are:

My wife

Ecclesiastical endorsement

I can list off other benefits that I receive from the church but I would be lying to you if I said it was why I stayed. The church has greatly benefited my life, I hope to not come across ungrateful.

In response to what orson brought up about the few doubts I listed. I appreciate the condensed response to my doubts. It is helpful to hear how you have dealt with those issues. I have further comments on them but I will most likely post those in general discussion.

Thank you all again for commenting on my thread. I read all the comments several times after they were posted. Only a few people know about my FC and nobody knows how bad it really is. It is comforting to know that there are others who have or are going through similar situations. Thanks.
