Threaten the LDS Church w/ losing lawsuits, & they'll do almost anything, even background checks! (New UT law)

LDS Church says they "supported this law" & "does EVERYTHING they can to prevent abuse".

So, why do they implement background checks only where & when they're legally required? 🤔

LDS Members say, "We have less abuse than any other religion!"...so they can excuse & not care about LDS abuse.

This is what "less abuse" looks like in just the last 2 months, based on PUBLIC reports. (Most abuse is never made public.)

This is where they willingly bring their kids.

Right? Who will possibly help teens w/ sex questions if untrained, unvetted LDS Bishop/plumbers can't question teens abt sex during private meetings?

LDS Bishop charged with sexual assault of a minor during a private meeting at church.

Each time an LDS Bishop is charged w/ sex crimes, LDS Church Leadership must think:

"Should we protect LDS kids going forward?🤔

Nah... let's tell kids that Bishops are called-of-God & normalize sex questions from adult men & keep putting kids in danger.
Too bad so sad for the victims though!"

“You’d never hear abt adult men marrying children in another church & think, “Hmmmm… maybe there’s a good reason for that!”

It seems Mormon God wants LDS members to justify activity that looks exactly like abuse.

The LDS Church claims God knows each person & HE chooses LDS callings.

Sorry... God would NOT choose predator Bishops & leaders who are capable of sexually abusing ward kids.

The LDS Church uses God's name in vain claiming callings are by God. It gives predators undue trust & puts kids in danger.

Hmmm. LDS Mission ldr, temple prep tchr, & works w/ 14-17 yo’s at church…charged w/ child sex crimes.

That’s a whole lot of failed discernment.

If the LDS church wants to claim discernment, then they shld be held accountable for giving pedos trust & asserting they’re “worthy”, which enables abuse.

Loved it!!

It haunts me how many "good" ppl in my LDS ward covered up CSA by a serial pedophile.

Why'd they do it?
-Church leaders told them to keep quiet
-Protect church rep & avoid scandal
-Fear the stigma of "making waves"

They probably feel good abt their actions, but they were actually complicit in CSA.

How exactly does calling church attorneys and then keeping child sexual abuse secret end up "protecting victims and ensuring that perpetrators face the consequences of their actions"? 🤔

If that was really the LDS Church's goal, the first call would be reporting the abuse to the proper authorities.

Right? There's no denial about anything from the podcast. Just pretend it never happened.

Helpline set up 'to protect victims' of abuse, says Mormon church The church's full response to claims of a cover-up in the Heaven's Helpline podcast.

The full response can be viewed here:

LDS Church responds to a 6-part series on LDS sexual abuse mishandling...

w/ condescension & inviting the journalist to:
-go to church
-ask mmbrs abt their joy
-watch GenCon
-read the BOM

"Don't point out how we destroy abuse victims when indoctrination'll make you forget abt that!"

Heaven's Helpline Ep5 is 10/10, so well-done. It gutted me.

A behind-the-scenes look at a real case showing how sexual abuse is dealt w/ in the LDS Church:

-Minimize accusations
-Knowingly put kids in danger
-Prop up offndrs
-Ostracize concerned mmbrs
-Ignore/shame victims
-Coverup

✴️Must listen: Heaven's Helpline, Ep4
- LDS Church uses clergy priv & attorney privilege to avoid reporting abuse & to keep LDS sex abuse secret
- The 'Abuse Helpline' is to address risks to the church, not kids
- LDS Church's response to abuse deliberately protects church reputation & $$ over kids.

This TikTok needs an award of some kind. 😂

Yes! I haven’t finished the episode yet, but it’s so good!

It’s really unbelievable how the LDS church just doesn’t care that they enable pedos to abuse kids!! It shouldn’t take thousands of LDS kids being harmed for them to do more than the bare minimum!

Thank you! So happy to see so many great people like you here already! 😃 I wish I’d have come over sooner!

Thank you!! Happy to see you and so many others here as well!!

How would you expect a ‘true Church of Jesus Christ’ to respond upon learning a child has been sexually abused?

Would they immediately call church attorneys to see if they can get away with NOT reporting the abuse to police?

The Mormon Church says to:

REPENT!
-Confess your wrongs
-Express regret
-Apologize
-Commit to change
-Make amends for harm done

Also...

It's OK for the church to...
-Protect predators/not report
-Enable abuse
-When caught, defend it!
-Don't apologize
-Fight to NOT help victims harmed
-Do it again
