Damned Mormons

[Clueless Morgan]

members of the Navajo Nation have sued The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, alleging the church placed Native American children in Mormon foster homes where they were sexually abused and that LDS leaders did not take adequate steps to protect those children.

Seems Mormons have an appetite for people they think are descendants of cursed Jewish tribe. WTF?!

“The problem is, when they reported this to LDS social services, we don’t believe that the police was ever contacted,” Vernon said. “First and foremost, that’s what needs to happen.”

If such abuse is reported to clergy or other, similar people who hold "confidentiality" with those who come to them (like those in positions of authority in the Mormon church), then depending on the state in which the abuse is reported, that authority figure is not always required to tell the police. The instructions given in the Church Handbook of Instructions for what to do if a member reports abuse is not to call the police or file a report, it's to call a church hotline that connects you to the LDS church lawyers. I have heard that the LDS church lawyers have a sort of flow-chart that they use when one of these calls comes in, and they instruct the person on the other end whether they are legally required to report the abuse and, if not, I think they are encouraged to handle the situation "in-house."

Here's a link to a podcast by Mormon Stories where John Dehlin interviews a sex crimes prosecutor who has experience with prosecuting such cases involving the LDS church.

BoM is pretty clear, exposure to Mormonism (read in all the euphemisms there you want) can embiggen the lesser races and make them white and delightful in the eyes of the Lord.

'Molestation' is such a harsh word for just trying to confer a blessing.

They have a lot in common with the fucking catholicks!

As apocalypses go, this would be fairly small change.

Polygamous Mormon cult members believe the apocalypse is coming with release of leader Warren Jeffs

“I am hearing from people inside the FLDS that on April 6 there is going to be a kind of apocalypse,” said Elissa Wall, who escaped from the repressive FLDS community after being forced by Warren Jeffs to marry her cousin when she was just 14. “It is prophesied.”

Stupid fucks.

Letting them die: parents refuse medical help for children in the name of Christ

“Yes, I would like to see my parents prosecuted.”

Why?

“They deserve it.” She pauses. “And it might stop others.”

Mariah is 20 but she’s frail and permanently disabled. All this could have been prevented in her infancy by closing a small congenital hole in her heart. It could even have been successfully treated in later years, before irreversible damage was done. But Mariah’s parents were fundamentalist Mormons who went off the grid in northern Idaho in the 1990s and refused to take their children to doctors, believing that illnesses could be healed through faith and the power of prayer.

Jeremy Runnells, author of the renowned Letter to a CES Director faces excommunication from the LDS Church on charges of apostasy on Sunday, April 17, 2016 @ 6:00 pm MST
http://cesletter.com/jeremy-runnells-fac...-2016.html

Jeremy Runnells, author of the renowned Letter to a CES Director (also known as CES Letter), has been summoned to a disciplinary council by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on charges of apostasy. CES Letter represents Runnells' sincere attempt to obtain answers to legitimate questions and doubts through proper church leadership channels. The LDS Church has chosen to continue its recent trend of excommunicating members who openly question or doubt LDS foundational truth claims.

...

Runnells reports that he met twice with his LDS Stake President, Mark Ivins, in the fall of 2014. During these discussions Runnells sought answers for questions posed in CES Letter and raised concerns about the LDS Church's recent historical essays (http://lds.org/topics/essays). President Ivins assured Runnells that he wanted to help, and that he would obtain answers. Runnells did not hear back again from President Ivins until January 25, 2016 when Ivins telephoned Runnells to inform him of his intention to challenge Runnells' LDS Church membership. Runnells requested a delay until March 15th, citing a close family member in hospice care, which was originally accepted by Ivins. On February 8, 2016 Ivins reversed his decision and informed Runnells of his disciplinary council scheduled for February 14, 2016.

...

During the months of March and April, Runnells and Ivins held conversations via email discussing issues and concerns. A theme consistent in the conversations is Runnells' pleas for Ivins to answer his questions and Ivins' refusal to answer them. Among the main questions Ivins consistently and repeatedly refused to answer are:

•  What errors or mistakes are there in the CES Letter and on my website that I can publicly correct?
  
• If there are no errors or mistakes, why am I being punished for seeking and sharing the truth?
  
• What questions am I being punished for asking?

Mormons have always been fucking stupid. Joe Smithy was a fucktard.

[Minimalist]

They like 'em stupid.  In that, they are much like most other theists.
