I was denied church callings, temple recommends, shunned by the rank and file members. During almost every bishop interview I was accused of committing sexual sins with single women, married women, members, non-members, etc. For three years I endured abuse at the hands of mormons simply because I was not married but divorced. I was told by one bishop that since I was single that I should find another church. I moved multiple times and had 7 different bishops across the USA during my 3 years of being single. Some of the moves across country were work related and others were local because I wanted a nicer apartment which meant a new ward and a new bishop. The way I was treated and abused was not isolated to one rogue bishop but was systemic of how LDS treats divorced men and women throughout the USA.
