Imagine growing up in a mormon community that controls the state, apprehensively and clumsily reaching out intellectually to the outside world, realizing how the world is much different than your strange lifelong bubble would have you believe; realizing how you are trapped in a cult in relation to the rest of the world; how the church loomed over your entire life, took crucial early years and filled it with irrational horseshit.
These people must leave and not come back. They have too many buttons that other cult members and leaders can push. That place knows how to hurt these people.
