When I was 12 years old, I had a meeting with my Bishop. He asked me about the law of chastity. I told him that I sometimes masturbated. He became visibly upset. A few days later, there was a game of capture the flag going on down the street from my house. When I showed up to join in, the Bishops two daughters said they had to leave if I was there. The game stopped and I asked why? They replied back that their dad said they couldn’t be around me. They apologized and left. I felt incredibly shamed. That memory stayed with me for years.
