The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has issued a slew of new guidelines which would limit the role of transgender members in local congregations.
Probably because everyone you’ve ever known is part of it and you’re terrified they’ll all disown you if you leave. That’s what happens when a cult metastasizes.
Exactly. This kind of cult stuff really harms the children that grow up in it. I feel bad for the kids, but I am actually quite supportive of the fact that these “rules” will push people out and away from the cult.
Hold a gun to someone’s head and they’ll do pretty much anything you say because they believe their life depends on it.
Morman’s preach that your eternal life depends on being part of their group. So for a transgender person who’s been brainwashed by the church, it’s like having a gun to your head. They don’t want to be in a group that hates them, but they’re afraid “god” will kill them of they leave the group.
They live in terror of being excommunicated (kicked out of the church) because they’ve been convinced that is equivalent to death. The amount of power that gives church leaders over the lives of the followers is staggering, and of course ridiculously abused.
Why would you even want to be in a group that hates you.

Everyone needs to run as far away as possible from the mormons

Right but if you buy into that belief structure god is going to punish you anyway even if you do everything else right.
I’ve been asking women in religion that for years.
