um, just leave? The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) doesn't trap anyone or hold anyone prisoner. If someone doesn't want to participate in worship services they can stop going to them. If they want their baptism annulled and their name taken off the church records than they can ask their bishop to do that. They aren't locked away anywhere, they live in their own homes in regular neighborhoods among people who are not Mormon. Nobody forces them to go to church.
