“I want to thank each and every one of you for coming here tonight, it means a lot. It is my understanding that there are several of you that have come from out of state, so I am really touched by that. So, a decision has been made. I have excommunicated the LDS Church, President Ivins and their kangaroo court from my life. I handed my resignation to President Ivins just a few minutes ago. My membership evaporated the second that I gave President Ivins my resignation letter. I am no longer a member of this church.

After speaking with President Ivines and the High Council tonight it became very clear that it was a kangaroo court. They refused to answer any questions that I asked them. I’ve asked them– I’ve asked questions over and over for the last three years, and a year and a half for the Stake President. And they have not answered at least– not answered one question. And it has become very clear to me that the Church does not have answers to a true crisis.

The questions I asked the Stake President over and over the last year and a half has been “What errors or mistakes in the CES Letter or on my website that you can publicly correct. If there are no errors or mistakes, why am I being punished for seeking and sharing the truth? What questions am I being punished for?” And he never answered any of those questions once, yet that didn’t stop him from trying to spiritually execute me. And I find that very very disturbing, how they are trying to take somebody's salvation while not answering their sincere reasonable questions. I am disgusted by the LDS Church’s and President Ivins’s attempts, multiple attempts to place me in the same category as murderers and rapists and child molestors for simply seeking official answers to church problems.

I have done nothing wrong. I just wanted the truth. I wanted official answers to the church’s church essay verified problems to resolve my concerns and doubts. Um, for those of you who are struggling with doubts, ‘stop doubting your doubts’, cherish your doubts, explore your doubts, resolve your doubts. Doubt is the beginning to knowledge and wisdom.

The only power that the Church has is the power that you give them. Tonight, I took back my own power. Thank you."
