Would someone take the time to explain to me why you need a support group to simply leave the LDS Church? If you do not know why you are leaving or have doubts you should first seek to understand those feelings first before making a decision to leave. This goes for any religion. It seems to me that you have more reason to stay than to go if you are putting all of your trust into a "transition" group. While I do not know a great deal about the LDS faith, they do appear to be a people that actually try to live their teachings. If you do not want this life style or care about trying to live the faith simply say so and leave. Don't make it a major production. Remember this is not an addiction that you need a support group for. Get a grip on who you are and what you want and go get it.

Wow, Deuce. You sound a bit defensive. Sure you aren't Mormon? If someone feels the need for support and seeks it out that should be considered healthy and should be applauded rather than ridiculed. And what exactly does Mormons "living their teachings" have to do with anything? If you believe that support groups are only for addiction you are sadly uninformed. The "major production" of this support group is not for your viewing pleasure. If you don't need it, don't attend. And, if you truly don't know much about the LDS church perhaps you should learn a little more before criticizing others for how they chose to cope with major life changes.
