People often ask me how to determine if a church or religious group is toxic. Here are 25 Characteristics that come to mind:
1. Claiming a close relationship with God while not actively doing your personal work to address your brokenness that is harmful to yourself and others
2. Arguing theology to bolster one's ego and being "right" about God
3. Disparaging people of different beliefs as a sign of devotion to yours
4. Casting judgment upon others while giving yourself a pass
5. Dividing the world up into “us” and “them”
6. Using fear and shame to coerce obedience and devotion
7. Teaching people they are inherently bad, powerless, and lack the necessary skills, tools and competencies to be whole and free
8. Repressing individuality and demanding conformity
9. Demonizing those who question beliefs and teachings, voice dissent, and demand integrity
10. Perpetuating a spiritual superiority class structure of “clergy” and “laity”
11. Teaching a performance-based system of earning and maintaining God’s love and approval
12. Assigning maleness to God and esteeming men over women
13. Allowing differences of beliefs to prevent working alongside others to alleviate suffering in our world
14. Praying for divine intervention without taking direct action
15. Claiming to be a devoted Christian while perpetuating discord and hostility in human relationships
16. Denying other fields of knowledge such as science and psychology as necessary means of personal growth and development
17. Dividing up the world into "sacred" and "secular"
18. Characterizing professional therapy, mental health services and medication as a lack of faith
19. Claiming that there is only one legitimate way of understanding the Bible, God and spiritual truth
20. Glorifying violence and bloodshed as a salvific remedy.
21. Fostering spiritual codependency as a foundation for codependency in human relationships.
22. Teaching that toxic and abusive behavior in relationships is resolved by a woman being tolerant, forgiving, and trying harder to be a good “Proverbs 31” Christian woman.
23. Fear-mongering people from exploring life’s biggest questions outside the framework of traditional religion and theology.
24. High control, micro-managing accountability, and expectation of excessive organizational commitment.
25. Toxic religious leaders are viewed as divinely authoritative, beyond reproach, and deserving of homage and obedience.

Found out if you look up “Mormon memes”, there’s some pretty funny ones there😂

An eye for an eye is not a healthy way to treat toxic relationships. Leaving them alone, and out of sight is the best way to focus on yourself and abstain yourself from the toxic environment.

Absolutely beautiful. Loving others isn’t something that is only possible with conditions. Love others always.
Those who love you are not fooled by mistakes you have made or dark images you hold about yourself. They remember your beauty when you feel ugly; your wholeness when you are broken; your innocence when you feel guilty; and your purpose when you are confused. ~Alan Cohen

Just like a hot nightclub...you gotta be on the list.
Much love to Sarah and Mason. Your love powers the podcast that we learn so much from.

We are very excited about the book. Keep up with book signings and more through our newsletter and social channels.
Every Thursday at 12:15 CST, Sarah brings to you foundational interventions for working through trauma and ask questions regarding past shows. NOTHING is off-topic.
Doesn't encouraging people to look at ideas in depth, checking claims, sources, citations, and allowing them to engage with those ideas give the impression that they're sincerely held? That they can withstand scrutiny? That people who hold them are confident in their veracity? Today's Westbrook Wisdom continues to look at accuracy in information: https://open.spotify.com/episode/2gHSMHP6mgc42OOIh88g7B?si=BYz5_iBbRi-loOWaSasrQw #unpackingmormonism
"Modest is hottest" (cover up those ankles, ladies!)... probitions against consumption of tea and coffee... blanket prohibitions on tattoos and other "body modifications"... are these the sort of arbitrary rules that tend to be hallmarks of cults, or are they something else? Start your weekend here with this clip brought back from the future episode of the podcast and anxiously await the answer when the full episode drops on Monday. https://open.spotify.com/episode/79rOyly76fVsxrp0Lbkfrt?si=axemhu-QTPyaZI3VQwa2iQ #unpackingmormonism #cults #cultrecognition #arbitrary #arbitraryrules #wordofwisdom #coffeeaddict #modestishottest #highdemandreligion #BiteModel #Mormon #lds #churchofjesuschristoflatterdaysaints

As we head into the weekend we leave you to ponder the all-important distinction between manipulation and marketing: What is it? Mason's gong imitation: Is it any good? Marital flirting: No question, but you gotta hear it cuz it's totes adorbs. Get your weekend started with this clip from next week's episode! https://open.spotify.com/episode/4Z4fKBksQ5cbmcPUxZbqft?si=KWC38ynGSdWEJX0Dve0XDw #unpackingmormonism #flirtfriday #weekendvibes #relationships #marriage #marriagehumor
Mason's journey of spiritual growth and discovery as he interrogates his LDS beliefs and the effects it has on relationships he's had throughout his life as a consequence takes center stage as he bares his soul and steers the podcast solo for the first time. Start your week off by listening to him do so in the latest episode of Unpacking Mormonism and Other Religious Trauma. What about you, dear friends? What have been some of your experiences with family and friends as you move through your journey of faith and doubt? We'd love to hear, and invite you to join us in the Unpacking Mormonism and other religious trauma private group with fellow travelers on the road to spiritual discovery.
