In the 2020 BYU Idaho Education Week Scott Woodward presented a lecture on "Defense Against The Dark Arts for LDS Teens" using references from JK Rowlings Harry Potter stories to describe 3 main attacks on faith and testimony and how to defend agains them.
The Third and final attack Woodward describes is the dark enchantment of false expectations. Using the metaphor of the Locket of Slytherin from the Harry Potter series, Woodward describes an insidious threat to the testimonies of LDS teens.
In this segment Woodward explains how having false expectations of God, the church or Prophets sets people up to abandon their testimonies when they learn disturbing things about the church or its leaders. He explains how teens must consider the possibility that they are wrong for holding such expectations and should turn to faithful sources of study and insight to keep their faith and testimonies intact.

Excerpts from a documentary about the "ex-Gay" movement which features LDS therapist David Matheson, LPC. His approach to the issue at that time reflected an understanding of homosexuality advocated by LDS Church general authorities. This included the idea that an individual was able to consciously determine sexual orientation, "same-sex attraction" was a byproduct of overbearing mothers and distant or aggressive fathers or produced by pornography viewing or excessive masturbation, that heterosexual relationships/marriage would result in overcoming such feelings.
