This chapter details the process of organisational exit from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. As a highly institutionalized and rigidly structured organisation, the process of disentanglement from Mormonism is, arguably more complicated than leaving other, less encompassing faiths. This chapter examines the narratives of former members of the Church to reveal a complicated and non-linear exit process. Members described initiating exit, returning to faithfulness, and reinitiating exit several times in a prolonged process marked by intense self-doubt and attempts to mask the decision to exit from other members.
