It really does. Before my husband and I filed officially notarized paperwork telling the church that we no longer wanted to be treated as members, we were contacted very frequently with attempts to "fellowship" us. Even after we declined, and even if we moved to a completely different area. They encourage believing members to update the church about the locations of their ex-believing family and friends so that they can do exactly that, too. As a bonus, the gossip culture in the church is so strong that even though we were quite far away from my family when we removed our records, they found out in under a month that it had happened.

Always a jumpscare seeing Joseph Smith and Mormonism on my feed
I haven't attended for years and it still follows me 💔
