Mx. Luna Corbden<p>It looks like from some recent screenshots that the Kindle ebook formatting might be messed up. It's adding extra spaces in places. I assure you it was not like that when I first published, nor on one of the updates I did years back.</p><p>With my health issues, it's difficult to imagine fixing that now. (I'm sure all the tools have changed and I'd have to re-learn everything.) So I'll add it to a list and maybe get to it someday. I'm hoping it's just that person's device. I did test it with an emulator across many devices, but that was in 2014.</p><p>Print version is still set in stone the way I originally formatted it. And for non-Amazon ebooks, I go through someone else (Smashwords), so hopefully the formatting is still good there.</p><p>All ebooks, Kindle and otherwise, should still be set to DRM-free.</p><p>It's really due for a Second Edition. But that is fully outside my capabilities at this point. At least I'm feeling healthy enough to look at the situation! Something I haven't been able to do for a couple of years. :)</p><p><a href="https://defcon.social/tags/exmo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>exmo</span></a><br><a href="https://defcon.social/tags/exmormon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>exmormon</span></a><br><a href="https://defcon.social/tags/AbuseCulture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AbuseCulture</span></a><br><a href="https://defcon.social/tags/ReligiousTrauma" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ReligiousTrauma</span></a><br><a href="https://defcon.social/tags/LDS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LDS</span></a><br><a href="https://defcon.social/tags/Mormon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mormon</span></a><br><a href="https://defcon.social/tags/MindControl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MindControl</span></a></p>

Mx. Luna Corbden<p>I haven't flogged my book for awhile, and sales are down. So consider purchasing to learn more about these mind control techniques and how they work together with in the LDS/Mormon context. </p><p>But this package of techniques is used by other high-demand groups, including secular groups. So even though the examples are Mormon/Christian, it's easy enough for the text to offer insights into your own high-demand groups you've been a part of – even of society itself! Unpacking the control levers in your head, even if you've left and disavowed a group, can help free you and move forward.</p><p>This is an Amazon Affiliate link, because I get a higher cut if you buy from them. But it's available just about everywhere else online as well. Local bookstores, at least in the US, can special order it.</p><p>It's available in print, ebook, and audiobook.</p><p>I'll continue to free-style my insights here though, as I think of things.</p><p>Next post I'll link to my website, where I have a cheat-sheet of all 31 control techniques with quick summaries.</p><p><a href="https://amzn.to/445Ebp0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">amzn.to/445Ebp0</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://defcon.social/tags/exmo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>exmo</span></a><br><a href="https://defcon.social/tags/exmormon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>exmormon</span></a><br><a href="https://defcon.social/tags/AbuseCulture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AbuseCulture</span></a><br><a href="https://defcon.social/tags/ReligiousTrauma" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ReligiousTrauma</span></a><br><a href="https://defcon.social/tags/LDS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LDS</span></a><br><a href="https://defcon.social/tags/Mormon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mormon</span></a><br><a href="https://defcon.social/tags/MindControl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MindControl</span></a></p>
Mx. Luna Corbden<p>There's a certain kind of judgement that comes in high-demand religious circles. </p><p>It's the "I *could* judge... that would be totally warranted in this situation. But I'm such a good person that I won't. In fact, I may even be better than the people who DO judge this person."</p><p>Context: My reflections on my own inner world when I was still LDS looking at women still unmarried by age 24. Then I became that (divorced) unmarried late-20s person. I stopped judging so much after that.</p><p>This happens with hardly a conscious word. Just automatic. And usually there's some reason to make the exception. "But I *like* them." Or, "But they're so smart/pretty/such a sweet spirit."</p><p>This comes from the juxtaposition of several manipulation techniques: Particularly Elitism, Demand for Purity, and Us v Them. Anyone following the commandments is extra special, righteous, beloved by God and the community. So we all want to be that. But it's incredibly difficult to be that – in fact, it's impossible, because Demand for Purity makes you perpetually inadequate. The best you can really hope for is to *seem* righteous. And you're highly motivated to do so, because the converse of being extra righteous is being wicked, sinful, depraved, worldly. No in-betweens, thanks to Polarized Thinking (aka Black and White Thinking).</p><p>The result is that you can only feel righteous in comparison with others. So even though God said not to judge, you can't help it. (This trap is called a Double Bind.)</p><p>So you find yourself judging, it feels much better than the alternative (judging yourself), but now you're breaking a commandment not to judge. So you stop judging and feel like the great person that you so totally are... way better than those judgy-two-shoes!</p><p>What a mess!</p><p><a href="https://defcon.social/tags/exmo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>exmo</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/exmormon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>exmormon</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/AbuseCulture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AbuseCulture</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/ReligiousTrauma" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ReligiousTrauma</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/LDS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LDS</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/Mormon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mormon</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/MindControl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MindControl</span></a></p>
Joss “Pax”🌿 (he/him)<p>I’ve been noticing “All are welcome” banners outside LDS buildings.

Mx. Luna Corbden<p>Isn't it wild that in the LDS Church (as with many other churches), the repentance process for lying, minor theft, hitting, gossiping, bullying, fraud, extortion, and other seriously harmful sins don't require going to the bishop to confess? You can just pray and ask forgiveness and you're good.</p><p>But sex? Even just "impure thoughts"? Why is it that the salacious Penthouse Letters sins are the ones you've got to go expose? Why is it we have to tell the stories that can turn on a sexually repressed guy?

Mx. Luna Corbden<p>There's definitely something up with the McConkies. I come across members of that family in my research from time to time, none of it good. In fact, Bruce R.'s brother founded Kirton and McConkie, which is the Church's legal arm for handling abuse coverups. Bruce was an apostle who wrote the infamous "Mormon Doctrine," which the Church later disavowed, but many still consider it THE authoritative encyclopedia of LDS beliefs. And it's full of some really suss stuff. I've quoted some of it here before.</p><p>And I once edited a book (which I don't think she's published yet sadly) which drew all kinds of conspiratorial lines about sex trafficking and ritual abuse by Mormon leadership, which made way too much sense. I always think about that when I come across these stories of LDS Mormon Royalty getting caught. (I really, really hope she publishes it.)<br> <br>Anyway. </p><p><a href="https://floodlit.org/a/g066/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">floodlit.org/a/g066/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://defcon.social/tags/exmo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>exmo</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/exmormon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>exmormon</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/ReligiousTrauma" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ReligiousTrauma</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/LDS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LDS</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/Mormon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mormon</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/exvie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>exvie</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/Exvangelical" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Exvangelical</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/CSA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CSA</span></a></p>
