The argument over whether some unbelieving Mormons should stay in and try to change the Church from within continues. In evidence on the side of yes, this missionary left halfway through her mission because a PIMO (physically in, mentally out) gave her a copy of the CES letter.

In the context of #MilieuControl
(information control), the only way to get through to someone is for them to trust you. The only way they'll trust you is if you're still in.

My current position is that we need both those who leave and those who stay. Yes, those who stay are supporting/enabling a terrible organization. But here's one starfish they saved.

#Introduction: Howdy. I'm an author who specializes in #deconstructing #cult tactics, #AbuseCulture, healing #ReligiousTrauma, and #Mormonism. My book #RecoveringAgency deconstructs #Mormon manipulation. I #ghostwrite and #edit part-time for a living. Before that, I worked in IT from 1996-2011.

In 2015 I left my abuser of seven years, and since have been disabled with #PTSD and other chronic conditions, fighting #suicide. I was unable to work at all for five years. My personal narrative now is about recovery out of that #DarkSojourn. I'm usually in some kind of pain, and try not to whine too much about it.

My interests are wide and varied and I will not remember them all here. I dabble in #infosec, #fiction writing, #philosophy. DXed with #autism circa 2010. #GenX obsessed with the #90s. I love #music, #psychology, and thinking about #culture.

Will probably update this as I think of things.
