I am no longer a member, having resigned a few years ago. I do not watch general conference, but it is impossible to avoid hearing about it as it dominates social media, the local news and family/friend conversations. While watching the news coverage, it seems that almost every clip they played was about getting those who have left to come back. Was that really the dominant theme?
And did someone actually say that you should ignore any "not interested list" a person may choose to be on because "people change?" I understand the impulse when you believe that you know what is right for every person on the planet, and that your "knowledge" trumps our "ignorance." But please do not take this advice too much to heart. Ignoring people's agency is never good advice. It's like telling someone that yes, perhaps the girl told you she isn't interested in dating you, but hey, you know you belong together so just ignore that because she will change her mind if you are persistent enough.
No one who resigns from the church does it without a lot of pain, anguish, thought. It affects nearly every relationship that you have, and you have to create an entirely new world for yourself. And to have to go through all the pain again with your family and friends every six months is cruel for everyone.
For the record, it is backfiring already. Many people in my acquaintance who were on the fence about resigning from the church decided that it is time after this string of messages.
If my understanding about these messages are incorrect, I'm open to hearing about it.
