I really need someone to talk too.

I already sent in in my resignation request through quitmormon, unfortunately, it has not made the process more smooth... I know I owe nothing to the church, but its really hard when I see most of these people as my friends, and I don't want to disappoint them... Thank you so much for reaching out to me! I'm going to copy and paste my story, to kind of add context, sorry if its confusing...

Basically, they filmed my conversion for the new District videos (missionary training videos) and when I agreed they promised that these videos weren't a big thing, and not too many people were going to see them. So I ended up sharing so much personal info, and I lied a lot about feeling the spirit, and thoughts on the church, because they were filming me, and I wanted them to get what they needed. That was almost a year ago, and a couple of weeks ago I used quitmormon to get my named removed, not really even thinking about the videos. This evening I got a phone call from one of my old missionaries explains that I was personally asked to share further information because Elder Andersen wants to talk about some of the things filmed in his talk during general conference. And I'm freaking out, because I never agreed to anything like this, and the old missionary who called me knows that I am trying to leave the church. He begged me to stop the process, because if I do get brought up, it would be embarrassing for people to find out that I left the church. I don't know what to do, I'm just some college student, I don't want my name to be permanently attached to the church!
