When I was 14 I felt the need to repent for being raped by my 18 year old friend. During the interview, I was asked which positions were performed, what sex acts happened, how many times, the specific dates, what I was wearing, if I had feelings for him, why I put myself in that…
I grew up in an LDS home where my parents taught me to honor and respect priesthood leaders. As a teenager, I never dated and felt a bit insecure but had many good friends and family members who loved me. One summer my bishop took special interest in me. He visited with me often told…
When I was 13, my bishop asked me if I masturbated. I didn’t know what that was at the time, since sex was a prohibited topic in my household growing up. I just answered “no”, because, by the way he said it, it seemed like it was something bad. When I was 16 and lost…
When I was 14 years old the youth of our ward took a trip to the temple to perform baptisms for the dead. My dad was the bishop and conducted my recommend interview. He asked me about chastity. I was somewhat hesitant and embarrassed, but decided to share with him a non-consensual experience I had…
I was asked if I masturbated before I knew what is was and before the thought had occurred to me. I was 13. It sounded bad, so I stammered out a “no.” I had to ask my friend who had just had the same question in her interview. As I grew more mature and ,…
As a Beehive I had to attend a worthiness interview with the bishop. It was probably an interview prior to a temple trip to perform baptisms for the dead. I was feeling very awkward and nervous to be interviewed by this 50-year-old man all alone in his office behind a sound proof door. He had…
To cut a long and painful story short, my bishop who was a dear friend of my father would ask me directly “Do you masturbate?” He would ask frequency, how long it would take until completion, and what I would masturbate to. I never realized how disgusting this was, even at 16 because of how…
Aside from the invasive interview questions. I was asked such questions out of the interview senario (casual talk questions). I remember I was about 13 and I was waiting for the cultural hall to be opened for an activity. And our current bishop at that time was also outside waiting. And out of nowhere he’d…
I was 15 years old when my biological father raped and sodomized me over 130 times for a period which lasted nine long months. I had been kicked out of my home by my stepfather, and ignored by the mother who would rather please the priesthood holder in the home, than stand up for her…
I know you are going through a tough time right now Sam, so I wanted to tell you how you have helped my little family in a way that wouldn’t risk doxing ourselves. At the age of 14, my wife was raped. She did not go to the police, but instead went to her parents.…
