K2C 27 – Mormonism, the Matrix and Me – Chapter 21: You Can't Fire Me, I Quit

What happens when a faithful church leader reaches the point of no return? In Chapter 21 of Mormonism, the Matrix and Me, Tracy Tennant teaches what will become her final Relief Society lesson in the LDS Church. The topic—Beware of False Prophets—is well received by the women in her class and even praised by a member of the bishopric in attendance. What no one realizes at the time is that the message carries a deeper significance. Only days later, Tracy quietly stops attending church meetings. After months of research and personal struggle, she reaches the difficult decision to formally resign from the LDS Church. When Tracy meets with her bishop to deliver her resignation letter, he asks her to pause and reconsider, hoping that further study and discussion might help resolve her concerns. He suggests that Tracy and her husband Scott meet with their home teacher, a respected attorney in the ward, before taking such a final step. In this chapter, Tracy shares the contents of the letter she wrote explaining the questions, discoveries, and conclusions that led her to leave Mormonism behind. This episode is part of the audiobook series presenting Tracy Tennant's book Mormonism, the Matrix and Me, which chronicles her journey out of Mormonism and into biblical Christianity. The book Mormonism, the Matrix and Me is available on Amazon for those who would like to read the full story.
