When I was 14 I was interviewed for a temple recommend to go with our ward to do baptisms for the dead. It went well until the bishop asked if I was morally clean. I honestly answered yes because I knew I was. He said “I don’t believe you.” I still remember the sick feeling…
Like most children do, at the age of 11 or 12 I began feeling sexual urges within myself. I’ve come to learn that these urges are normal and are a part of our bodies maturing into adulthood in preparation for sex. But, what I didn’t know at the time was that anyone else ever felt…
When I was 16, I went to what was supposed to be a slumber party at a friend’s house, with parental permission. There, I was confronted with adult men present for a “party.” I was drugged and raped by two of the men. My parents could tell something was wrong with me over the next…
At 12 I was a completely naive young girl. The Bishop started out by asking me if I was sexually pure. Then ask questions about masturbating, heavy petting, necking and soul kissing or french kissing. I had no idea what I was being asked, so the bishop took that as a green light to explain…
I started masturbating when I was 9 years old, a few years later I was house sitting for a neighbor and watched pornography alone on their VHS tapes. I read the book “the worth of a soul” and thought that I was destined for outer darkness. In any Bishop’s interview I ever had as a…
I remember being called in for an interview with the bishop when I was about fourteen. He said it was an interview to lead the Teachers’ Quorum. He got to the question of the law of chastity and asked if I was keeping it. “Yes.” “Do you masturbate?” He asked the question as he stared…
I grew up in a strict LDS family in Las Vegas. The inappropriate interviews began at age 12 when I started young women’s. Age 12, Bishop asks me if I kept the law of chastity. I say yes. He then proceeds to ask me about masturbation and if I knew it was a sin. I…
I just thought it was normal, being asked about sex – though I was incredibly naive. I was 15 or 16 and called in to see the bishop. A few nights prior, I had been out with a boy and things got heated. I suppose you could call it heavy petting, but I had no…
I was 16 when I had pre-marital sex with my then high school girlfriend. In hindsight, we were kids with raging hormones and we both felt horrible about our actions. We both went to speak to my home-ward bishop about our mutual sin. We were upfront, honest, self-loathing and willing to do whatever it took…
When I was 8, I was interviewed for baptism. I was alone in the room. It was the first time I’d ever even heard of masturbation. Bishop asked me if I did it. I didn’t know so I asked him what it was. He went into detail on…. how to do it… then told me…
