Inman ping.
She obviously thought the guy was creepy yet fell for the “scavenger hunt” thing. I think it needs to be repeated over and over again. IF YOU THINK THE GUY’S A CREEP, DON’T ACCEPT GIFTS FROM SAID CREEP. RUN, DON’T WALK AWAY!
If he persisted, she should have gone to the police.
No doubt this young fella' saw that TV news and got all excited with the technique and was motivated to attack a young woman he knew.
Some on this particular thread will say this is so typical of (this kind of religious person), but I think it comes from watching constant reruns of Jodie Evans on MSNBC ~ and THAT, BTW, ought to be evidence enough of mental illness to just lock him up now.
BTW, OPEN DISCLOSURE: The bomb that almost blew me up out in Provo was sent by one Mormon man to another Mormon man concerning a sort of alienation of affection situation. Being a dutiful, lawabiding, God-fearing man he conveniently put his name and return address on the outside of the package and was easily caught.
Now that's my kind of Mormon, not this guy with the Taser!
Gad!
Dates aren't that hard to find.
Wouldn’t have hurt if she had a handgun and could have shot the lunatic.
This young woman, being mormon, had been taught all her life that the men of the sect who "hold the priesthood" deserve respect. As he was her "home teacher" she had a duty to allow him into her home to bring her the word of the mormon "gospel".
That being said, even though she found him "creepy", her conditioning resulted in an automatic trust of him.
Her confusion over his motives is perfectly understandable, and had she gone to the bishop chances are he would have brushed her off because the dude had a "calling" likely given to him by this same bishop.
One has to understand that these "home teachers", whether the men of the "elder's quorum" or the women of the "relief society" are, by the nature of their callings, given the right by the members to come into their homes at any time, often without prior notice.
I don't know of any Christian religion that demands this.
duty to allow him in her home..home teacher
Nope- not true. Plus the fact home teachers as well as visiting teachers (women visiting women) go in pairs. If not, something is wrong. And nobody ever has to allow any one in if they do not want to.
That being said, even though she found him “creepy”, her conditioning resulted in an automatic trust of him.

That’s because she has been conditioned by her religion to blame herself if she felt creepy...
That it wasnt the mormon pesthoood holder but her inferior female self lying to her...
I wonder if she “repented” several times over those weeks..
Blaming herself for her “apostate” slips and not his very real creepy behavior..
Sounds like he thought he “owned” her...
Just as Joey Smith thought he “owned” anything in skirts regardless of age or marital status..
After all the perp was just following mormon doctrine...
I am amazed that stunguns aren’t used to a much larger degree not only by kidnappers but by thieves...
Typical behavior of Mitt Romney supporters. If Romney is President, he will allow these crimes to continue.
I guess she woulod have lost her “temple recommend or would have had to go to a so called “court of love” (read kangaroo court) if she had asked him to him to come back when she had a chaperone...
Most Chrsitian Churches teach young women (and men) to never be alone with the opposite sex...
Flee the very appearance of evil...1 Thessalonians 5:22
Silly Nana that’s the Christian Bible...
These arent Christians...
Never mind...
Oh, sure...as if any BYU ward member would not be conditioned to accept this "duty"....I am exmormon...I am very much aware of the kind of covert coercion that happens in the mormon church. Did you miss the part where I mentioned her "conditioning"?
Anyone who would refuse the "home teachers" entry would be immediately reported to the bishop, and if she were a BYU student I would think to her university dean.
The first thought would be, "What does she have to hide"!
Yeah, thanks for the heads up.
Utterly false.
There is no teaching like that.
Home teachers are taught that they go only by prior appointment or invitation, an then always with a companion. Even with a companion, they are not to visit a single woman when she does not have someone else in her home.
It is not uncommon for a family to request different Home Teachers. A reason does not have to be given.
The Bishop meets privately with members all the time during Sunday meetings.
Sure.....
Interesting...
The most rabid Mormon bashers are ex-members.
It has ever been that way.
With good reason.
