Posted Saturday, September 28, 2019 on social media by PEC supporter, Melody Mills:
On July 19, 2019 I stood in front of the Thunderbird Ward building in Glendale, AZ, for the first time in years. This was the first building where I was exposed to one-on-one interviews as a child in the Mormon church. I was fortunate to not be repeatedly probed with multiple sexually explicit questions or be abused, as too many others have experienced 💔 However, I was still groomed to believe that discussing uncomfortable, intimate information with grown men whom I wasn’t close to but who were held up as authority figures over me, was safe and acceptable. As an adult, I now understand how dangerous and unacceptable that practice was and is. May children and adults no longer be groomed or led to believe that unsafe practices are okay. I raise my flag for them and for the hope of improvement in churches and organizations
