I agree that your ex, his mother, his friend and his bishop are all CRAZY! That seems like a lot of crazy people in your life, but, the Mormon cult creates insanity. I speak from personal experiences and the experiences of others.
A crazy con-man RM manipulated me into marrying him in the temple. He pretended to be a university student on an academic scholarship, but he was only a Mormon shoe-in, there for the summer, only. His grandfather is an important GA. He fooled my family, too, my family threw us a huge wedding reception, before any of us had ever met his parents. Turned out that his parents and siblings were not speaking to him, because he had a criminal record of assault and battery. He assaulted his neighbors, their pets, and his own sister, who had to go to the hospital, and social services removed her from the parent's home. He began beating me on our wedding day, and almost every day, for many months, until I divorced him. The Mormon cult would not annul the marriage, and would not give me a temple divorce, would not give me a "temple clearance" or whatever they called it at the time. The thug's Mormon GA family claimed me as their possession, because I was sealed to their family, and they harassed me, and preached at me, that I should forgive the beatings, and go back to being married to that horrible criminal.
I had to move away from home, and hide in a big city, but the ex kept tracking me down. Whenever I moved, the first thing I did was get a police restraining order against him and his relatives. My bully ex found another victim-wife quickly, and was married the day our civil divorce was final. He and his family did not stop stalking me, even then! Mormons believe in eternal polygamy, and in their mind, I was still one of his wives!
CRAZY!!!!!!
I changed my name, and in a few years got married to a former member of the BYU wrestling team, and lived a few houses away from my husband's equally big and strong brothers, and my new father-in-law, who had a lot of power in the community. Bullys are cowards, and this finally stopped my ex.
I am glad you are at home, near family, and those who can protect you. Your ex-boyfriend might be more than "just a jerk." Already, he has tried to harm you with his ugly gossip.
As for your ex's missionary friend and his bishop--believe it or not, there are men who enjoy hearing about the sex lives of others! Don't ever speak to these men again! This is sexual harassment!
The Mormon cult is always trying to re-write its history, and re-frame their leading character, Joseph Smith, into "the most wonderful human being--next to Jesus Christ--to have ever lived on Earth"! In truth, JS was a polygamist, a statutory-rapist, an adulterer who married other men's wives, a business scammer, a sociopath, and a proven liar!
Your ex is trying to rewrite his history, to placate his mother and his divorced girl friend.
Your ex is trying to vindicate himself, the Mormon way. By blaming YOU for everything! The Mormons were hated in the community, because they were polygamists and frauds and nasty criminals (you can find details throughout RFM), but the Mormon claim they were "persecuted" unjustly. They claim they were hated for their righteousness! How ridiculous! The Mormons consistently turn around and "blame the victim". (For example, Cl2 was blamed for not giving her husband enough sex--insane!) This is also the way sociopaths operate.
The GOOD news is that you escaped! Carefully guard your boundary of "no contact." Get a restraining orders against bishop, the friend, your ex, and his mother. Hopefully, when they receive official notices in the mail, they will get the message and back off. This will not stop the gossip, but you won't know about it, because your live far away.
The other GOOD news is that this is not about you. It's all about your ex's Mormon craziness. He will do anything--lie, cheat, accuse, throw you under the bus--in order to please his mother and the cult. The focus is on themselves and this divorced girl, and I think they will leave you alone.
More GOOD news: with Mormons it is "out of sight, out of mind." Once you resign, once you are of no use to them, once their excommunication-repentance-reinstating-temple recommend mumbo-jumbo is in action, they will not remember you.
You can be free NOW, in your mind, in your plans, in your relationships, career, interests, your personal style, and in every other aspect of your life! I had a lot of fun (in spite of the Mormon shunning) when I first resigned. I did a "lifestyle makeover", and changed all the things I didn't like. This was not a "rebellion", because I followed my heart, stayed healthy, kept my morals and principles, and focused on a more POSITIVE life view.
Every day, as the days go by, you will be more and more glad that you separated yourself from those crazy cult-members and their "religion of lies and hate."
