Yeeeessss the whole “tell me everything you’ve ever done even if you repented” totally traumatized me. My entire mission I was thinking… what if I missed something? What if I forgot some small detail I was supposed to repent of but didnt. What if I’m not really worthy to be here. That interview of mine was at BYU too and I’d never even met the man. Every other interview I had had always felt like it was coming from a place of love but that interview felt so cold and dark and wrong. I hated it.
Wow, I’m sure it’s because I’m a man, but I was never asked to confess again for all sexual acts I committed before leaving on a mission. Only “unresolved sins”. I’m so sorry!
i really resonated with this episode if anyone who shared a story during this episode is reading this THANK YOU and you’re not alone i’ve experienced many of these similar stories and am still working through it so we gotta all stick together ❤ thanks for talking about how serious and awful this really is. xoxo
Yeah my stake president asked me to tell him everything I did with my boyfriend when being interviewed to go on my mission. I felt so uncomfortable and guilty, though I never did anything extreme.
The bishop questioning is so messed up, and then when Sam Young a former bishop tries to change this he is ex-communicated. Then the church does make some changes that Sam young recommends. Absolute insanity.
Oh there's no doubt... Bishop's wife... Oh my, what's got you so worked up tonight? Bishop... You wouldn't believe the story that one of the young teens just told me in an interview!
You're painting Mormon bishops as a stereotype of one size fit all. There are good bishops and those that are overzealous wingnuts. It is today in 2023 frowned upon to do interviews with young women asking them sexual questions. I remember a friend in the late 70s who was dating a mormon. The bishop would ask him questions like "how far did you go?" or "do you masturbate?" That line of questioning is no longer supposed to be used.

Just found your pod last week and I’ve loved binging all the episodes!

My friend's dad was the BIshop of the Institute ward when I was in it. So, I trusted him.
I honestly think the old creepy bishops get off on asking young girls about their sex lives.🤢
Oh there's no doubt...

Why is AOC talking about bishops?
Why is a Mormon girl wearing a necklace?
I was told I “wasn’t normal” because I had sexual urges. I feel so bad for my old bishop’s wife.

Social media is ruining these kids.

You're kinda proving her point here. These questions should have never been asked in the first place....
Not at all, the "bishop roulette" is specifically addressed @ about the 30:00 mark.
