This study describes the cultural, cognitive, social, and emotional work that once-devout members of the LDS Church must engage in to leave the church and divest themselves of Mormon culture. A Grounded Theory approach with a multi-modal memoing process showed that, for the devout, leaving the LDS Church and Mormon culture is not a singular event, but rather a process of gradual transformation that requires time and effort, passing through a series of punctuating events. Formerly devout ex-Mormons had to confront various problems, including the LDS Church’s truth claims and ethical contradictions from within the particular Mormon framework that leavers believed in and followed, which in turn had shaped and constrained both their leaving process and their post-Mormon selves. Interview data revealed a necessary reconstruction of post-Mormon emotionalities. And devout women who left Mormonism bore an added burden of overcoming internalized misogyny.

“像断线一样”:关于虔诚的摩门教徒如何离开 LDS 教会的扎根理论

这项研究描述了曾经虔诚的 LDS 教会成员必须从事的文化、认知、社会和情感工作,才能离开教会并脱离摩门教文化。具有多模式备忘录过程的扎根理论方法表明,对于虔诚的信徒来说,离开 LDS 教会和摩门教文化不是一个单一的事件,而是一个需要时间和精力的逐渐转变的过程,通过一系列标点符号事件。以前虔诚的前摩门教徒不得不面对各种问题,包括 LDS 教会的真理主张和离开者所信仰和遵循的特定摩门教框架内的伦理矛盾,这反过来又塑造和约束了他们的离开过程和后摩门教的自我. 采访数据揭示了摩门教后情绪的必要重建。离开摩门教的虔诚女性承担了克服内在厌女症的额外负担。
