Welcome to Episode 16 of LDL Letters! In this episode Amy writes in with a tribute to her first love, Jean Anne. It's a heartbreaking story of the intense pressure churches often inflict in an effort to get us to conform to their impossible religious standards. Stories like this can be terribly sad, but can also provide a way for us to heal and help put an end to the oppressive control and abuse doled out in the name of God.

Each week we read and discuss 1-2 letters (depending on length) from listeners just like you! So please get in touch with us through our website at www.latterdaylesbian.org/contact. We'd love to hear from you. Thanks!

Diana's back! And she has some great tips on what to take with you when you leave religion. Some stuff is actually cool, and it's yours to keep! Find out what during this super interesting conversation (well, at least we think so). Also, Fanny Fact Check enlightens us once again, and Mary (the never mo) stumps Shelly and Diana on an amazing FUMPOTD (thanks, Bryce Blankenagel).

Join us for an intimate conversation with special guests Angela and Alli, as we discuss Angela's upbringing in the Catholic Church, her horrifying conversion therapy experience, and how the couple view spirituality today.

Warning: this episode covers violent themes; it's raw, at times hilarious, painful and inspiring all at once. We hope you agree.

Join us live from Sister Space - a women's retreat held annually the first weekend after Labor Day in the Delaware Valley. This was our first "rustic retreat," which involved sleeping in cabins with a bunch of other women, and recording our podcast in a barn (no farm animals were injured as a result of making this episode)...and of course, the sex tent. Intrigued yet? We think it turned out pretty amazing in spite of the primitive conditions. For more information about Sister Space, please visit https://www.sisterspace.org.
