Mormon Discussion Podcast Special Episode: 296: Sex Abuse, Victim Shaming, and Sabbaticals
With the recent MormonLeaks audio regarding MTC president self admitting he sexual abused others, it became necessary to speak out about sex abuse and the unhealthiness here inside the Church. I start by telling some stories from my growing up and tie into how good Mormonism was for 17 year old me. I then explain how slowly over time I came to barely hanging on in hopes the Church would choose to be good. We then take a long look at this recent leak and the understanding that comes out from it and finish sharing why this and other events have helped our family make peace with the sabbatical we have taken from Church activity.
