Mormon Leaders and Inappropriate Interviews Regarding Sexuality Pt. 5 | Ep. 832

In this powerful interview, we meet Sarah and David, both former Mormons who share their deeply personal experiences within the Church.

Sarah's journey begins with her perfectionism, leading her to church events and the "Miracle of Forgiveness" book. She was subjected to invasive interviews and sanctions, her self-worth tarnished. Sarah's story highlights the harm imposed on women's sexuality within the Church.

David, an active Mormon until his late teens, faced similarly invasive interviews on his mission. He was subjected to a grueling 5-hour interview process, culminating in being pressured to provide names of those involved in his "sins." The traumatic experience had long-lasting effects on his mental health and eventually contributed to his departure from the Church.

Their stories shed light on the damaging effects of these interviews, questioning their role and necessity in the Mormon faith. A compelling and eye-opening discussion.
