About this listen
How does the Mormon Church consume every aspect of members’ lives? Through unpaid labor, constant meetings, financial control, social surveillance, and the threat of eternal consequences. We break down the control mechanisms that keep members obedient—from cleaning chapels for free to sitting before disciplinary councils, from mandatory tithing to information censorship. Plus: why Utah has some of the highest antidepressant and youth suicide rates in the nation.
Whether you're questioning your faith, supporting someone who's left, or just trying to understand how high-control religions operate, this episode explains the mechanics behind Mormon obedience culture.
