I grew up in mormonville and I'm shocked it's only 100 allegations
Ex mormon here, and I had the same reaction. The shit that went on in that church is absolutely insane in retrospect. Like, it seemed "normal" at the time, but now looking back as an adult its all a bunch of "what the fuck" moments.
Like that one time I was a 15 year old kid, getting asked by a church elder if I looked at porn as a "purity test". I have no idea how mormonism is even legal.
I'm pretty sure bishops had a list of questions that they had to ask everyone in the 1-on-1 meetings. Concerning porn I distinctly remember
And
What threw me off though was even though I answered "no" to the first (I was lying of course, I straight jork it), they still asked the second with no hesitation. I'm saying "they" because I got the same porn questions from multiple bishops, like at least 3. I'm pretty certain it's actual church policy. It's basically involuntary confessions now that I think about it, fuckin weird. One straight up asked me if I was into his daughter though, pretty sure that wasn't in the script haha.
I'm shocked 100 people were able to overcome the indoctrination and were able to make the allegations.
That's a good point the brainwashing in the Mormon church is intense
I promise you there are hundreds if not thousands more that are too afraid, or are so brainwashed that they believe to this day it was their fault.
