hearing a talk on how wonderful it will be for women in heaven. They will be eternally married to a man who will become a god, and he'll get to have many wives, and they will all give birth to enough children to populate other worlds. For eternity. Eternal pregnancy - this is what women in the Mormon church are taught they can look forward too. I used to babysit for a lady who had 6 kids. I could tell she was really unhappy, and a few years later I'd found out she committed suicide. 
Coincidentally, the man my aunt (NOT a Mormon) ended up marrying after divorcing my uncle used to go to my church and his wife committed suicide, too.
I also remember going to Mutual (it's what they called the teen group back when I went) and they passed around a rose and told us to look at it and touch it. Then when we were done, the teacher took the rose and held it up and said, 'Now look at this rose. It's not so pretty anymore, is it? If you let boys touch you, you will become like this wilted, ugly rose.' When my sister and I went home to tell our mom, she was pissed. Granted, she used to tell us, "I would rather you come home in a pine box than have sex before you're married", but she did have some sane moments - until she left Mormonism and become a fundie. Then it was batshit all the way.
