Utah has the highest porn consumption in the country. The shame is how they keep you in the cult.

    Also isolation. If you get disfellowshipped, other Mormons can't even speak to you without being punished.

    Can’t help feeling like “disfellowshipped” strikes a different tone than the words it replaced (shunned, excommunicated, defrocked, exiled, etc).

    It’s as if someone invented a word that means, specifically, “you are no longer welcome to partake in the fake friendship I share with others, and I will no longer pretend to care about you” to which the only appropriate response is… gratitude?
