Episode 018 | The Pain of Rejection in the Church | Faith Deconstruction Series

Mentioned in today's episode: 

Recovering Agency: Lifting the Veil of Mormon Mind Control : https://amzn.to/3KpahSQ

 

Some argue that the pain of social rejection is worse than physical pain, so does it make sense that the pressure to fit in is often overwhelming and all-consuming? Join us as we discuss the unique challenges faced by members of the Mormon faith, particularly the expectations surrounding sacrament passing, modesty, missions, and purity. We also tackle the issue of shaming young women for their attire, and how adult gossip is sometimes used to enforce conformity and maintain social hierarchies. We cover the emotional and social pressures of missions, especially for those who return home early and are often stigmatized. We hope this will be an eye-opening conversation!
