> polygamy, child abuse, and endless fast and testimony meetings
Speaking anecdotally about my experiences in Oregon with Mormon friends, this feels like a gross misrepresentation. I haven't seen any of these situations pop up, and certainly not in any way that would cause it to be systemic.
- henrikschroder 9y agoPolygamy was tongue-in-cheek, they of course only practice spiritual polygamy these days, since it's illegal. Worthiness interviews are absolutely systemic though. You might not think it's child abuse for an adult man, a "bishop", to have one-on-one interviews with 11-14yo children asking them if they masturbate, but I do. Fast and testimony meetings are of course systemic, every first Sunday of the month. Their horror is more of a roll-your-eyes extreme boredom kind, though.
