I was a very good child always trying to please God and took everything to heart that church leaders said! The guilt and shame of the interviews still even though I had done nothing wrong carried into my adult years reflecting sex as gross and disgusting. I got married at age 25 (which was old for Utah) so three years into our marriage, with a 1 year old, my husband and I decided to go through the temple. At the bishop’s interview (in my personal interview with him) he wanted to know if I had any sexual transgression’s before my marriage that I needed to have forgiven!! What the heck!! He needed to know if my now husband had penetrated me before we were married!! This was my temple recommend interview at age 28 years old, 3 years after I had married!! I should of ran then but I stayed for 10 more years with my shelf of common sense doubt piling up taller and taller!! Organized religion is wrong and controlling and the farthest thing from God!!
