Those who actually resigned shared some similarities. There was a dominant husband (3) or wife (1) who, after a period of inactivity, convinced their families that resignation was the only way end the limbo and bring about what to them was peace of mind. I don't know enough to say that they achieved that elusive goal.

The BoM teaches us that people turn to God when times get hard.
Times are not hard right now. History tells us that times are not always good. My intuition tells me that people will turn to God again. When the time is right. |

The fact that he had to be paid says enough. Also in hard times, people will buy snake oil.
