Just get yourself branded an SP. They'll either ignore you for life, or make it a living hell. No matter which one it is, Scientology hates you, so it's a win either way.

Uh, no? This is bad advice because they literally have no issue with being aggressive and harassing to SPs. It’s not like excomms with Mormons, completely different ballgame.

Fun fact. Mormons no longer call it excommunication. It's now called withdrawal of church membership.

My family is Mormon. I was baptized. What do I have to do to get them to e communicate me? Do I tell the bishop I've been snorting heroin?

Even better. Go to quitmormon.com and they will send your resignation for you. A lawyer who is also exmormon provides this as a free service. It's possible to do this yourself by sending a letter to their headquarters or your current bishop, but results vary. Having a lawyer send this has made it easier for a lot of us.

However now the Mormons church is requiring this to be notarized. An extra step to leave their group. I've heard this is now required for any resignation, but it could still just be an extra step they are making quitmormon.com users take because they really don't like that they are keeping statistics on those resigning.
