## Resource

The God-versations Archive is going viral for exposing some of the most controversial and unexpected experiences inside LDS culture.In this clip, a young woman shares how she was allegedly told she couldn’t serve a mission because she wore a bikini in a photo. What started as a simple social media moment turns into a much bigger conversation about modesty rules, control, and religious expectations placed on young women in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.Ex-Mormon and feminist perspectives are amplifying the discussion online, and people are divided over whether this is about “standards”… or something more complicated.👉 Source: https://www.tiktok.com/@thegodversationsarchive#LDS #MormonStories #ExMormon #FaithDeconstruction #GodversationsArchivePlease consider making a donation by joining our Patreon https://www.patreon.com/MormonNewsRoundup Email: kolob@mormonnewsroundup.org Website: https://mormonnewsroundup.org/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mormonnewsroundup Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mormon_news_roundup/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100093511869924 X: https://twitter.com/NewsMormon New episodes LIVE every Sunday and Monday nights at 9:30PM ESTPlease like and subscribe and hit the notifications bell.
