This seems like a living hell. So glad I'm out and so sorry for those family members that are still in it...
Kevin Kloosterman, a former LDS bishop in Illinois, had his "recommend" — which allowed him entry to Mormon temples — withdrawn for a tweet of congratulations he sent to the first gay couple married in Utah.
About two years ago, Missy McConkie, a Mormon mom in the Northwest, clicked "like" on a feminist page, "All Are Alike Unto God," suggesting ways that the LDS Church could enhance the roles of women. Last year, McConkie was asked to be the Activity Days co-leader for girls ages 8 to 11.
All those in the congregation raised their hands in support of her assignment, except one couple, who went to the bishop and complained.
McConkie says her bishop pulled back the calling, citing her "like" on that Web page.
"The Utah-based faith does have a Strengthening Church Members Committee, whose purpose, Jones writes in a statement, "is to pass on public information to local leaders about members participating in abuse, fraud and other activities that may endanger others. It oversees pre-baptismal interviews of those formerly associated with polygamy."
