Given how much publicity there had already been before her disruption of Bishop's ward, I highly doubt his stake president didn't already know about the allegations. The "member" of the stake presidency who visited with McKenna after her "testimony" admitted that he did not know who she was, or abo...

Did she accomplish any thing with this “stunt”? Well, if his stake president is now aware that the man is a sexual predator, then yes. Because the church certainly did not tell the stake president. So, yes, she accomplished something if an authority over creep now knows he is a creep. Given how muc...

Not a fan of this stunt either. Not sure what it accomplished. I support McKenna 100% in her battle with the church and she deserves justice for what she had gone through but this does nothing for her cause. I really didn't like the mocking tone of the first part of this video. To me it just makes ...

This guy's dad was my SP when I was a teen. I knew his younger kids, but this guy was already off doing mission/school/whatever. The dad was as hard-ass and hard-nose as they come. We had a stake youth committee with monthly meetings, all-day long stake youth events with more rules than you can ima...

I'm definitely headed that direction. My husband loves the institutional Church more than he could ever love me.

Realizing I was second place to the Church for my wife's love, and that I always would be, was a huge factor in the decision to leave my marriage.

The truth. This. Full stop. I like the idea of the church providing the truth, but they don't have it. Nobody really does. I would take the church being honest, and being a group of people honestly seeking the truth, wherever it may lead. I guess that's kind of my point. They don't have the truth, ...

The truth.

This. Full stop.

Isn't this 2nd victim the same women mentioned in the mormon leaks audio? The church already knows there are plenty of pedophiles among it's rank and file priesthood. They've paid out many out of court settlements and made very minor changes to their policies to prevent this from happening again. A...

Very well written. I wish I could just copy it, sign my name as if it were my own, and send to everyone I know. I've been slowly creeping out into the open with my disaffection, but it has been very slow.

I am thinking this is another data point in the mountain evidence that says the "Gift of Discernment" is complete B.S.

My reactions: 1. I find the claims of abuse at this man's hands both shocking and credible. 2. The victim most certainly did NOT help her case with how she handled much of this (i.e. death threat, etc.). 3. This is but another nail in the coffin of the legendary spirit of discernment for me personal...

"Big Changes" = Retrenchment.

If there any changes coming it will be to a more conservative tone than has been in play recently. That's my prediction, any way.

Here's a list of great reading If you want to push the right lady buttons: 1. In Sacred Loneliness by Todd Compton (LDS author). 2. Year of Polygamy podcast 3. Courageous, the untold story of Nephi navigating his heterosexuality in the wilderness. 4. A Middle Eastern Love Affair, the untold story o...

IMO, the tone of the CES Letter can be a little off-putting. I suggest "Letter For My Wife" for something that is even more comprehensive and with a less angry tone. Link: http://www.letterformywife.com/

Well,...there will certainly be an apologetic spin on that. If Fanny didn't do it with JS, then more power to her--but it seems to me that she would want to douse any "scandal" that might have followed her around. Let alone we have the Hoffman forgeries, so are we really ruling out the possibility ...

Pretty sure this should be the nail in the coffin on the argument over if there is room for the non-orthodox in the Church.

That sounds exactly like the same speech our stake president gave about getting to the temple. The canned wording is a symptom of the culture. I recently had a chat with my bishop about ordaining my son. He said, Red, what are you scared of in the temple? I said, an old geezer groping my sack with ...

I tried living in hiding in my own home for six years. My wife knew from the beginning, but my kids didn't. I'm now getting a divorce...if that tells you anything.

My ward in Alpine Utah is ultra orthodox TBM. The consensus of option, at least amongst the high priests, is that people who have left the church do so because Stan has a hold of them and have thus been deceived by anti-Mormon propoganda. Or, equally popular, is that belief that they have sinned an...

I resigned and was asked not to wear garments any more, but they are still mixed in with my gentile undies in my drawer and I just wear them simetimes. They hold no meaning to me whatsoever, they are just underwear that I have to realize that some people will judge me for wearing or not wearing. Ok...
