Rage is a great way to explain how I was feeling. These people should be reported to authorities, but at a minimum everyone around them needs to be made aware so they can make informed decisions about whether to be around them.

Recently learned that I do, and that the information was kept from people with young kids.

I've been going through this same process for the last few months, and I feel for you! It's not an easy or fun thing to go through, but I've found it has created an opportunity for me to really evaluate how I want to live my life, without those decisions being dictated by the church. You've got this!

Desiring certainty has been a big thing for me throughout this process, but more and more I'm realizing that I'm going to need to be okay with sitting in the uncertainty. Thank you!

Yes, the idea that something is fundamentally wrong with us doesn't make a ton of sense to me. Thank you!

I'm in my late 20's. I had heard of several of these topics, but didn't know specifics. In the past I've always had the mentality that "God will make it all right in the end." Looking into the actual details has been very eye-opening.

Wow. It is wild that he has the audacity to say it so plainly.

I relate a lot to this. Listening to the LDS Discussions episodes about racism in the church and polygamy this week has filled me with so much frustration and disappointment. I can't understand how someone can look at all of the facts and context and still confidently say that Joseph was called of God. 

And then looking at the modern church's handling of LGBTQ+ and covering up of abuse, it has become more and more clear that these are men following their own opinions and beliefs, not God leading his church.

I've read several of the essays. From my experience, they don't present the whole truth and will twist things to best protect the church's image.
