*-communicate
Leisha and Amanda LaCrone haven’t identified as Mormon nor attended services since childhood. For 15 years, the church left them alone. But now that they’re married and raising five children, local church representatives showed up at their door to tell them they must “repent” or “face discipline.” “Face discipline” is Mormonspeak for “attend a humiliating trial held in a church building before a roomful of men who will shame you while saying that they love you and have only your best interest at heart, after which they will most likely excommunicate you with self-righteous glee.” |
