Show Notes: This is the latterdayshamed podcast. Notice there's a "D" at the end of latterdayshamed because even though we know that institutional shame and person-to-person shaming are prolific in the modern Mormon Church, it has been going on since the beginning with Joseph Smith's fiery sword wielding angel compelling and shaming 14 year old girls (or girls a few months shy of their 15th birthday as the Mormon church's gaslighting explanation goes) into illegally marrying and having sex with him. Often behind Emma's back. Yet no one shamed him, at least not to the point where he stopped this creepy, and dare I say predatory behavior that I think is totally unbecoming of a so-called prophet. And it continued. We lie for the Lord. We shame for the Lord. The other reason I'm calling it latterdayshamed, with a "D" is because I hope I can add to the voices calling for the end of Mormon shame and help put shame in our collective past tense.
