  The saddest thing in the world is when she asks, &quot;Am I going to get excommunicated for learning about this?&quot; That means you should probably already start trying to find a way to leave.

  I’m so proud of Eve ❤️❤️❤️ this is my beautiful sister and has been my only family member I can speak about things openly with since coming out as queer and leaving the church. She is so good and kind. Thank you Carah and John for creating this space while being kind and thanks to all you people commenting kind words to Eve. I know we all feel for everyone in a faith crisis rn

  Mad respect for Eve, I wish my ex-wife had been as open to questioning the church as I was when I went through my crisis of faith. Ultimately, I was divorced and excommunicated for becoming an atheist. I hope Eve has a safer family environment than I did. If nothing else, she has a good friend to lean on, which is great to see.

  Eve is BRAVE for doing this interview. I know im a stranger- but im SO proud of her. It&apos;s not easy to question your &nbsp;own deepest beliefs, especially when it&apos;s all you&apos;ve known. Keep seeking truth 👏👏👏

  I have a seriously traumatic memory of telling a 16 year old girl that Joseph was a polygamist. She angrily told me I was wrong, pushed back repeatedly (even rudely) when I tried to discuss it, and then cried when I showed her the church website. I don&apos;t know what happened to that girl (who would now be a woman), but I think about her often. It made me feel dirty to have to be the one to tell her that. I felt as if I was the one breaking her heart. I have to remind myself that I didn&apos;t do that, Joseph did with his actions, and the church did with their lies and half-truths.

  I’m not a Mormon but if Eve was my daughter I would be so proud of her.

  As a teacher of research and writing, I find the sourcing and questioning of sources very refreshing.

  Joseph wasn&apos;t losing his marbles, he was a classic case of a malignant narcissist. When they get called out or lose control, they double down on their supposed greatness.

  My ancestor literally married a third wife from Sweden who spoke no English and he tried to abandon his first two wives and 9 children by heading to Mexico after the ban on polygamy happened. So disturbing. She was basically trafficked to be his caretaker in his old age since she had nursing experience.

  What gives me hope is that despite eves conditioned brain tirelessly trying to find a way out of believing these difficult truths, she stays curious and listens. Her brain pushes back over and over yet she stays and doesn’t leave or shut down. That’s a strong spirit.
