Hard to say. I consider myself a "used to be" LDS, not necessarily ex-LDS. I don't know if that's a distinction without difference, though. I haven't resigned or anything. I just don't buy it anymore.

Should there be another category, skippy? Inactive LDS? Dis-believing LDS?

If you consider yourself ex-LDS on an intellectual level, perhaps just go with ex?

How about "Nominal LDS", that is, LDS in name only.

Note: Lots of current nominal LDS do still call themselves "exmos". That is, they're officially in the Church, but not of it (oftimes for family reasons, or out of respect for parents/grandparents).

There may be some here who consider themselves inactive LDS. As for me, I'm past that - I left "inactive" (or "less active") long ago.

I suppose if I were pressed, I could consider myself former-LDS. But I guess that really is just ex, isn't it?

[_moksha]

Active LDS.

I clicked ex-LDS. Although I have not resigned. I don't believe, and arguably I never believed as an adult, having reasoned my way out at about 17. My problem is the fact that I got signed up for something as a child, and why should I jump through hoops to resign. In NZ, a contract is not binding if a signer is not over 18.

Technically, I am 'inactive' according to my parents. But I don't see why anyone but me should designate my belief status, in anything.

[_gramps]

Ex-LDS. Resigned.

Ex-LDS and ex'd LDS because I publicly denounced and refused to sustain the prophet and the profit in a F&T meeting.
