Well, the members don’t do a background on Joe Smith, so why should they check anyone else?

At 55 years old I had a full blown panic attack in my disciplinary council. I told my bishop in advance that at 16 years old I was raped, and I grew up with an addicted violent mom, violent dad, I have CPTSD, and I would suffer mentally and physically if I had to talk about the consensual sex I had with my man-friend, my 60 year old boyfriend. Why did he proceed to invite the ward clerk and the ward secretary, who was in his freaking 20s, to hear my confession? Five men. They just sat, watched, and waiting during my panic attack as I sat with my head lowered between my knees breathing into the paper bag I brought for the occasion. I know HF was proud of them for helping me repent of the sin next to murder. How in the world did this beautiful girl get through going to the bishop? 😢

Ill never forget the moment my dad sat me down in his bedroom on his bed. Man this sounds creepy, especially when you hear where this goes.... he pulls out the book of Mormon and sets it on the bed. He rests his hand on it. Then begins talking very seriously and solemnly about the evils of homosexuality and masterbation. I have NEVER bounced back from that. 😂 i put a laugh emoji but we all know how icky it really is

I wonder if anyone had an experience like I did that made it impossible to be a part of the church of its policies? There once was a man who worked at an elementary school who was caught (let's just say) perpetrating inappropriate actions (and leave it at that) against children. The school gave him an ultimatum resign and promise never to take positions giving access to children and we won't prosecute. He quit. Then he became a Boy Scout troop leader. An we all know how they got sued for covering up acts from people just like him until they ran out of money to fight court cases. He did the same. They covered it up. While he continued to do those things to over 75 children, he also chaperoned children to the temple to be baptised for the dead where he --- as you have probably already surmised -- did the same things to more children. The church covered it up, denied, and ignored it. Then the Boy Scouts finally handed the documentation to a lawyer because they were forced to and the creep went to prison (convicted for crimes against over 50 children). He is not a unique case. -=-. The LDS church is the perfect example of an organization that predators will gravitate to and work in because they have access to the thing they want. I cannot imagine anything the church could actually do to convince me they gave a crap about anyone or anything except money and protecting their own name. Are there good people in churches? Sure. Are they often gullible or even naiive to the point of neglect and criminal ignorance? There is no amount of money that would make me join (again/as adult/by choice) that church or any other frankly. It's just not worth it. It's ironic as you say they cover up for creeps but promote bigotry [againts PoC, LGBT, etc). No amount of money is worth playing along with that game. -=- The above is a true story and the newspaper articles and documents are available as one of over 3,000 abusers from the Boy Scouts [often also LDS] The church never excommunicated the particular example I'm personally aware of which is why this story is something I'll keep telling until I'm old or the church stops being awful. My bet is that I'll die of old age peacefully in bed before they change but I'd love to be wrong.

I appreciate what you do and the way you shed light on the corrupt mo church. I have grown up in Utah and was baptized in Southern Utah at the age of 12 just so I could have friends. I am ashamed that I preformed baptisms for the dead and apologize deeply to those souls and assure them it meant nothing!!! My co-workers are mostly mormon and I really wish they would watch you and Mormon Stories podcast and wake the" HECK" up! Sadly they are deeply indoctrinated and fear truth, logic and human decency for all!

I introduced my teenage neices/nephews to your channel w/their parents blessing and under my supervision. They have close friends with are deep into the church structure but still go to public school. These amazingly preceptive teenagers have recently realized that their Mormon friends have been trying to covertly convert them for extra Jesus upvotes. Thanks for your work!

I was shamed multiple times for my dress choices. I was denied my church dance card for wearing dresses that were appropriate but the bishopric said I was putting dirty thoughts into the minds of men 😳

😂 I just noticed the "HAT," clever. Thank you for deconstructing with us. It helps to have a new tribe, I feel seen.

As an evangelical Christian, your channel has been insightful... especially since I've recently met some young mormon missionary women. I feel bad as they told me how strict their schedule is, and how they are monitored everywhere they go, in every phone call and text message. To them this is normal. Most of the meetups are brief and involve reading the book of Mormon, and whenever I challenge them with questions the meeting ends and presumably they go off to speak with their president. It doesn't seem like there's a single second of their day that isn't controlled and scheduled. Feels so weird.

My comment, for the sake of the algorithm. 😉 Lemme just say, your opening statement of how delving back into these episodes had gotten you a bit emotional or even agitated... pretty much, I went through a solid decade of feeling absolute rage toward the church any time I spent any amount of time thinking or talking about it. Feeling so discarded by a community that I had invested literally all my spiritual energy into for decades, feeling that I had remained true to my principles, but that my closest friends, and even my family had removed me from their world simply because I couldn't continue my spiritual journey within the confines of mormonism... I tried listening to Mormon Stories, but I was overwhelmed enough with my own story, and those of my friends and family. Not that I didn't relate, but because I related too much. I went on the offenive. My social media became a constant decrying of the fraud that is the mormon church. I was told "...leave it, but leave it alone!" etc. But I felt in my conscience that I had to speak out. My connections to the church were being severed one-by-one, but I continued to speak out, almost inviting their rejection of me as fuel to my raging fire of proof that the church was in the business of brainwashing and indoctrination. I was citing its own sources, and people still couldnt look at it. I took on the role of the outcast/pariah with a certain level of pride, because I was so resolved to speak the truths I had learned about church history... But, once my entire family was out (after 10+ years,) and I had reduced my list of friends to those who were able to hear my reasons, and still show me love and acceptance, I finally cooled my jets. I got my people out, and those who stayed made it clear to me that I was not one of 'their people.' I still feel that I had to denounce the church *at least* as much as I had previously praised it and held it up, before I could arrive at a place of peace. If I had remained indifferent, I would still be tryin to maintain relationships (people-pleasing) those who would have felt compelled to 'fellowship' me, hoping I would 'return to the fold...' My relationship with friends and family is stronger now than I ever imagined it could have been within the church. Thanks for speaking out in your own way!

Thank you very much

Great work, Carah! I know you won’t say it but I am dying to know what was going though your head when Haleigh did her Mormon story. She’s such an intense person - I am glad you and John gave her the space to tell her story how she wanted to tell it …but, boy howdy, a penny for your thoughts.

Woooow, what a powerful video! So many powerful and deeply felt stories. 🤯 Explained perfectly how I grew up as a hispanic exmo! And how many of us have grown up in this horrible church. That just gave us traumas and fears. It makes me feel so heard and seen when other exmos talk about there stories. I guess I feel less crazy. 😂 We have gone through so much shit! Idk why ppl don't see how fucking hard this is. Because it sucks and it breaks you to your core! Shutting off emotions, fucks you up bad. These are the hard conversations, that some members are just not carrying for. They like to pretend like this doesn't happen inside the church. Or that it's a normal thing that happens and we just need to endure. Because life is not easy, and we knew that when we decided to follow Jesus's plan. So keep going and stop being too "emotional" about it. As I was told my entire life the church! Just try harder, it's because your are not trying hard enough. As a mom, I just couldn't let my babies grow up in this shit show! The shit show, that broke me and now I go to therapy for. My babies deserve to know that life is beautiful and not everything needs to be that hard and always double questions everything you do. Thank you for making us be seen and heard!

I liked it!

I don’t know if anybody else has had this experience but I converted to Mormonism in 2011 late 2011. Needless to say it was very short-lived. They saw me out by name number one and I don’t have any ancestors that are Mormons. They told me I was special because of my blood type and that also I was prone to demon possession because of my blood type, and then I was also possessed by demons. They told me to cut contact with my biological family. etc. etc. etc. but I just didn’t know if anybody had the blood type story in their story if so I would like to know more about it. I’ve been curious about it for years but the last thing I would do is reach out to the missionaries or the church because of the constant berating and harassment that you get from them by reaching out thinking that you’re interested in coming back and what not but yeah, I needless to say I had a full-blown bout with psychosis for your afterwards because they pretty much made me think I was the antichrist.

Also, RE: your comments about your looks - Don't take this in a wrong way, but you are pretty. I have to say this cautiously because I don't want it to be misunderstood, like I'm trying to hit on you. I hate it when inappropriate comments are made here and elsewhere. Not my intent here, period.

Background checks for youth leaders should be a minimum. My father was a pedophile that slipped through the cracks and was never reported by his victims. I had repressed memories and in my first year of college started to remember some of the worst things you could imagine. If you knew my dad you would have no way of knowing what he was capable of behind closed doors because he knew how to be charming and charismatic. I knew he was active and was holding some sort of calling(I wasn't talking to him anymore and had cut him out of my life by this point) I tried reporting it to the church and was told that unless he was convicted, there was nothing the church could do. I didn't want to pursue legal action because of the drama I had already caused in my family for coming forward about this to them, and I was completely unaware that there were other victims as well. My goal was to keep him out of specific types of callings. The church did absolutely nothing. Fast forward a few years later and he has passed away in a sudden motorcycle accident. I found a journal of his in his belongings where I realize he made his way into the bishopric and he was taking notes on peoples confessions. This fact will always haunt me. So background checks....yes absolutely, but more importantly the church needs to not ignore people that come out as victims and actually look into these stories or even maybe report them to the police. There were mountains of evidence in my dads belongings after he passed away. He was 1 search warrant away from going away for a long time

Their is no doubt in my mind, once you get passed the white washed surface, their are wicked spiritual forces that function to deceive, confuse, and divide those who seek truth, and freedom from the cult that is mormonism...

I think i got them all. You hear that when you speak to ANYONE that deals with people on the smallest level. Mandated Reporter! I couldn’t think of that term.

Really we all have our own reasons to leave the church. I don't see why we have to explain them to others especially to the outside world. There could be many personal or historical or whatever reasons. It's up to us if we want to bring it out.

I hope you don't take this as disrespect, but since you mentioned being open-minded, I would like to ask if you could consider looking into the truth claims of the Roman Catholic and Orthodox faiths. I understand that they have their own issues, particularly regarding s****** abuses, but I personally find their history and teachings compelling, especially those of the Roman Catholic Church. I'm still a Mormon, although I no longer consider myself a believer. I'm in the process of finding the one true church of the Bible so early church history and patristic writings are very helpful.

It's so easy to get pulled from one false, corrupt belief system into another.

When I went through deconstruction- I came to realize that whatever is it that's out there is bigger than we're intended to understand. We have a connection to something much larger than we are that helps guide and create. I don't think it can be found in any book- but there are some pretty horrible people who decided to use whatever that amazing thing is- to control, oppress, gain power and the means to satiate their greed. The entire construct is pretty awful. The point is- you don't have to lean into anything. You can learn to trust yourself, open your mind, and find your own way free from shame and guilt. It's incredibly liberating once your eyes are truly open

Have you ever watched Latter Days? It is a movie about LDS and a young gay man amd it sounds eerily similar to some of the content in this video. And the fact hateful, ignorant people think anyone would "choose" to be so hated shows how truly stupid bigots are. If it was a choice, people would not struggle with it or be suicidal... Religion causes more death and the religious commit, and coverup, more sexual abuse/rape of children than any other groups. I was raised Catholic and we all know that priests have a history of child rape/sexual abuse (and sexual assaults against nuns) but, as channels like yours show, it is not just Catholic priests who prey on the young. This is why religious organizations blame the LGBTQ+ community. We should chalenge all religions to prove the queer community are the predators, with irrefutable evidence, and compare it to the number of reports against priests, bishops, and other "men of the cloth." There are about 33 states that have laws that religious organizations do NOT have to report suspected child abuse...says a lot about who the actual pedophiles are and explains why the religious target others, accusing them of the actions they, themselves, are actually doing. Bigots also are saying their god is wrong... according to their myth, we are all "God's children" so they are saying 'he" is wrong for making diverse people. Rumor is "he" also gave us free will so, if it WAS a choice, the "religious" are saying "he" is wrong for giving us the freedom to live the lives that are right for us. The bigoted right seems more blasphemous than "christian."

Controlled opposition

This all very sad

The mantle of authority unearned perfect definition people need proper training and education not the will of God.

they are so brain washed

You were a WOMAN in the Mormon church. The last thing you need to do is list off all the ways that you are "privileged". This is what some people mean when they point out that people have gone too far in the other direction of the Left/Right divide, "so open minded that their brain fell out"

She is white and heterosexual. She hasn't experienced discrimination for her race and/or orientation-and that is a privilege.

I think it's so interesting to hear different people's dialects and pronunciations of the same words. American English in particular, with all its variations in accent, slang, etc., is fascinating.

My dude, go outside, feel some sunshine. No need to criticize her at all. Did it really make that big of a negative impact on your content consumption?
