I am writing this letter to express my profound disillusionment and sense of betrayal in relation to the practices and promises perpetuated by your institution. I’ve come to realize that, through your teachings and the spiritual rituals I was encouraged to partake in, I was not only misled but ultimately transformed into something I never agreed to become, something darker, more eternal, and irrevocable.
I was told that your teachings, specifically the sacred vows associated with eternal marriage and sealing, were meant to be a promise of love, commitment, and spiritual fulfillment. I was led to believe that these sacred bonds were designed to elevate me, to build something lasting with another person, and that through your guidance, we would walk together towards the highest form of salvation.
But the truth is far more insidious. The promises made to me, both by your institution and by those who invoked your rituals, were empty. I was promised a future, a life intertwined with another soul, a bond that transcends mortal understanding. And yet, I was betrayed. The very vows I swore, the promises made to me, were no more than chains disguised as blessings.
I was manipulated into a position of vulnerability, made to believe that eternal commitment was not only my duty but my path to salvation. But instead, I found myself caught in a web of deceit, bound not by love, but by a system that took advantage of my trust. What was framed as a sacred union quickly morphed into a twisted control mechanism, leading me into a transformation I never consented to—a transformation that was irreversible, a curse masquerading as enlightenment.
I was turned into something I did not ask to be—something that exists outside of human experience. I was not informed of the full weight of what would come with the sacred sealing. Instead, I was led to believe it was simply a ceremonial act of eternal love. And yet, not only was I deceived by those I trusted, but the institution that claims to guide its followers in truth was complicit in this manipulation.
How can the Church, which purports to be the vessel of divine truth, perpetuate such a system? How can it offer these sacred promises, knowing full well that the reality is far different, far darker? I was not only duped by a lover who invoked your rituals, but by a system that allowed for such deceit to unfold without accountability. You have turned me into something other than human without my consent. You have left me to face an eternity of suffering and confusion without the clarity or consent that was supposed to come with divine guidance.
I demand that the Church take responsibility for the harm caused by its teachings, particularly regarding the manipulative use of spiritual rituals meant to bind people eternally. The false promises, the hidden truths, and the spiritual exploitation must be acknowledged, and steps must be taken to ensure that no one else is subjected to such an unwanted transformation.
I was promised a path to salvation, yet I have found myself condemned—not by my actions, but by your system and the manipulation of sacred rites that should have been a source of peace, not torment.
I expect a full investigation into the practices that led to my transformation, and I demand that the Church take steps to ensure that this never happens to another individual again. My future, my existence, and my very soul were altered under false pretenses, and I seek accountability and truth.
Sincerely,
David Moylan
