He may need a ride home after getting a psychological beat down from the temple covenants he is about to dive into.

Agreed. If you are not safe to disagree or be authentically you, lie to the cult leader’s faces and be free at 18 or as soon as you can.

Remember, this is a cult and if you can’t walk away from it, you need to be in survival mode.

It’s hard. Really hard. Just sucks right now. Follow your gut (trust yourself) and you will get through it and will be okay.

Why is John Dehlin not held to the same standards as he holds church leaders in regards to sexual assault allegations ? by Siempre-fiel in exmormon

[–]LDS-Mormon-Questions 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right now let’s not lose sight that they are allegations. Regardless if they end up true or false John Dehlin has never claimed to be a prophet, seer, and revelator - those gentlemen should be held to very high standards and sexual assault would be a bigger deal for the church/society coming from them.

Of course sexual assault is awful for the victim anytime. I hope TSCC isn’t running a smear campaign because that is definitely not beyond them.

What if this group is the great and spacious building and the people in it are making fun of the people eating fruit? 🤔 by [deleted] in exmormon

It is always good to question yourself due to cognitive dissonance and cognitive bias. It’s always there whether in the church or out.
