They are howling

PROVO-A Brigham Young University student was arrested on attempted kidnapping and assault charges Thursday after he allegedly used a stun gun on a woman and tried to handcuff her.
Police say Stetson Hallam, 20, was the 19-year-old woman's home teacher in their LDS ward, and the two lived in the same apartment complex south of BYU. Provo police Sgt. Mark Crosby said Hallam had pursued the woman romantically, but she did not have any interest in him. He was persistent in trying to date her, Crosby said, to the point where she felt "creeped out" by Hallam.
"He kind of set her off, that he was just a little weird," Crosby said.
According to a police affidavit, Hallam repeatedly contacted the woman, telling her he had a gift for her. She put off meeting with Hallam until she could have a roommate present, police say, and she was successful until Tuesday.
Around 3 p.m. that day, Hallam contacted the woman and asked to meet with her, according to the affidavit. She reportedly told him she could not because she would be working until 9:30 p.m., and she said he could leave the gift at her apartment. However, when she arrived at her apartment complex, she saw Hallam standing outside and felt he was waiting for her, according to the affidavit. She went to her apartment through a side entrance, but allegedly found Hallam waiting for her at her door.
Hallam allegedly convinced the woman to come with him to a common laundry room in the basement of the complex, where he told her one of his roommates had helped him set up a scavenger hunt for the woman's gift. The woman reportedly told police she could see no signs of other people present and became suspicious.
According to the affidavit, Hallam told the woman the gift was "junk art" and was located in a bin underneath a table in the room. The woman reportedly described the bin to police as five feet long by two feet wide and three feet tall, with a lockable lid and handles. Hallam reportedly told the woman some of her gift was Easter candy, which he had left in his car. He then allegedly left the room, during which time the woman did not approach the bin, believing it may be part of a practical joke, according to police.
When Hallam returned, he allegedly encouraged the woman to open the bin and pulled it out from under the table to alleviate her fear, according to the affidavit. The woman then reportedly opened the bin and found it to be empty.
At this point, Hallam allegedly produced a stun gun, a handheld rectangular device with two metal prongs on the end. He allegedly pressed the device against the woman's arm and she felt a surge pass through her body, according to the affidavit. Police say the surge incapacitated the woman and caused her to collapse to the floor, at which point Hallam pinned her to the ground.
The woman reportedly became frightened for her life and did not know what Hallam's true intentions were, according to the affidavit. She allegedly began screaming and fighting Hallam, who police say placed his hand over her mouth. He also allegedly produced a pair of handcuffs and put one of the rings on the woman's left hand. While he was applying the handcuffs, police say, Hallam's hand slipped and his finger went into the woman's mouth. She allegedly bit down on his finger until he let her go and apologized, claiming it was all an April Fool's joke.
The woman was able to get away and reported the incident to police April 8, according to police. Crosby said he did not know why the report was delayed, but a delay is common with this type of allegations. When she reported the incident, burn marks were still visible on her arm, as was bruising on her wrist, Crosby said.
"Several days later, we're still able to have signs," he said.
Police conducted a search on Hallam's room and car late Thursday night, but Crosby said he does not know what was found. Crosby said police were interested in finding the bin the girl described, which was not an item usually found in the laundry room. Although Crosby said Hallam never tried to force the woman into the bin or trick her into getting inside, he said it is still an important piece of evidence given the circumstances.
"His whole premise was wanting her to open that box," he said.
Hallam was arrested Thursday night and booked into the Utah County Jail, where he is being held on a $5,000 bond on third-degree felony charges of aggravated assault and attempted kidnapping. According to the affidavit, police found a bite mark on the middle finger of Hallam's left hand.
Crosby said police are interviewing Hallam's roommates, but are uncertain which roommate he may have been referring to with the scavenger hunt because Hallam would not speak with police.
"He's not cooperating with us," Crosby said.
Crosby said Hallam does not appear to have any criminal history, and police have found no evidence so far of any history of mental illness.
"That's something that we're going to follow up on," he said.
Carri Jenkins, spokeswoman for BYU, said she had little information about the incident Friday. However, she confirmed that Hallam is a sophomore at the university. She said the university's Honor Code Office will now begin its own review of the incident to determine what actions should be taken. If it is determined that a person is a danger to the community, he or she may be banned from campus, but Jenkins said she does not know what decision will be made in this case.
"Every case is handled on an individual basis," she said.
You may or may not be slandering the LDS church intentionally, but to set the facts straight, no one is coerced to do anything. If a member prefers not to meet with a particular home teacher, all they need is to ask for a new one, which is something that this victim simply neglected to do.

How do you know she neglected to do that?!?!? I asked for a new HT when I was at BYU housing and I was refused 3 times. I finally moved to a different ward to get away from him.
But typical LDS SOP, it is always the apostate’s or the victims fault, never the Church’s.
Oooo....those bad looks....that’s the WORST!
Oh by no means. Indeed it is more fun...
Pity we will probably never see Titan again, it seems like they really need to learn more about Mormonism.
Sigh.
Yep. LOL.
Exactly, you have no reason to lie for the Lord. Perhaps you should stop lying for Satan. “Thou shalt not bear false witness” refers to everything, not just bearing false witness for the Lord.
***
Oh my that is a stunning observation!
Stunt double?
How do you lie for the author of lies?
Morrmons (as they want to be called) are not Christians...
and never have been
Just on their dead dunking blasphemy alone they are excluded from being Christians ...let alone the rest of the pagan practices of their cult..
Joey Smith rejected Christianity because it cramped his style...
He was a player, an occultist, a skirt chaser and a conman out for a quick buck...
and Christianity frowned on those things and the God of Chrsitianity declared them a sin...
So Joey Smith found that in 1825 he had to invent his own gods and his own religion if he wanted to have a fun life...
Make so money, get some girls and be a big shot...
(you know the kind of things that Joey Smith felt he was entitled to)
So Joey Smith said that the God of the Christian Bible was abomonible and that the Bible was abomonible and set out to write his own idea of a “good” book..
Joey Smith had been a glass looker and a money digger and a tall tale teller and a fortune teller and in and out of jail for vagrancy and cheating people etc...
He used the same rock that he had used to pretend to look for “gold” to pretend to translate the so called “book of mormon”
But he plagerized someone elses story and had it published and took it to Canada to sell...he “propheciised” he would maker millions...none were sold...
after that he had to add to his fairy tale in order to attract himself the following and adoring groupies that he felt he warranted...
He did get some religious fanatics, but he also got more gangsters, outlaws, thieves, murderers, cutthroats, prostitutes, and these he put closest to him in choice leadership spots and to “rule” over the more gullible worshippers of his so called worthy egotistical imagination..
With them he started an army of 5,00 and made himself a general complete with a uniform and sword..he also made himself the mayor of his own town..
He started a bank to cheat people and printed $3 bills..
Whaen he had made a lot of money and he got caught aND THE Bank went bust and he was charged and fined he just skipped town.... but he kept the phony money circulating and had quite a money laundering business umong the Chrsitians that he called “gentiles” (infidels) in Missouri and Ohio..
He even cheated his own gullible disciples...when someone just GAVE a lot of land to him for his disciples, instead of handing the land out, he didnt tell them it was free, but he SOLD the lots to them...he made a fortune just on that scam alone...
Joey Smith joined the Freemasons and went up to the highest level in a few days...he learned all their secrets and incorparted some into his religious cermonies...later the Freemasons were in a crowd outside a certain jail and got him for betraying the oaths he had sworn of secrecy...
The evil types that were Joey Smith close cabal were full of lusts like Joey Smith was and soon they had a secret sex club that swopped wives and propisitioned every new woman who moved to town..
Joey Smith and Briggy Young would get the girl alone and threaten her with eternal damnation and that they would ruin her reputation unless she gave in to them...
What happened to the girl after she was passed around from one of the perverts to another never bothered Joey Smith or Briggy young..
One way he got so many men to follow him was to promise them lots of women while they were alive and also in his mormon after life...to be “gods” with huge harems...
Joey Smith interoduced bigamy that he called polygamy, and said it was “celetial marriage” and that the mormon god was a polygamist and the mormon jesus was a polygamist and most of the men in the Bible had been polygamists and that polygamy was necessary to get into the mormon after life...the mormon god said so...and the mormon god had called it a “new and everlasting covenant” ...well it did last 47 years...
Later Briggy Young said that monogamy...one man one woman was prostitution and that the mormon god didnt like it...that the only “holy” people were those who practiced polygamy...
Now Joey Smith had a legal wife that he had stolen away one night because her wise father had warned her not to marry the shiftless no good Smith...
Whe Emma Smith found out that Joey Smith was cheating on her wholesale and committing adultery with anything in skirts, she objected strongly...
Joey Smith had been “adopting” young girls and then adding them to his “stable” errr “harem”...Emma discovered that zjoey Smith was having sex with the girls righ t in her own house...
Now Joey Smirth must have thought that Emma was thinking “whats so called good for the goose, is good for the gander” and that she might get wandering eyes and decide to practice polygamy the other way...with a troop of good looking guys...
So Joey Smith and a couple of friends wrote doctrines and covenants 132...as a threat against Emma...the words include a warning to her not to indulge in polygamy herself..and that if she didnt let Joey Smith continue in his adultery the motrmon god would destroy her...well we know how that turn out...he may as well have not bothered to abuse his wife in that way...the REAL God destroyed Joey Smith and Emma went on to live a long life...which did not include the foul evil of polygamy..
Joey Smith declared himself king of the world and ran for president of the United States claiming that the mormon god was going to make him ruler and theocratic dictor over the United states of America..
Joey Smith got so delusioned in the end he even boasted he was greater than God...and so God destroyed the false prophet Joey Smith..
Before you go and tell people who you think the mormons are, you need to get your facts straight.
LOL..courtesy ping.
When you do this, you are contradicting yourself. Those who are most aware are the current and active members. You may have just recently been ex-communicated (I assume you were, otherwise, you wouldn’t claim yourself as an “exmormon”, but rather “inactive” or “less-active.”) or you may have been ex-communicated years ago, but either way, you will forget a lot.
- - - - - - -
ROFL AGAIN! Chuckle. You assume all ex-mormons MUST have been excommunicated. Some people resign (I did) and still call themselves Ex-mo.
Grey and I have both been out of the LDS church a very long time. We keep up on our studies, reference material, read LDS articles more often than the LDS even do and keep up on our studies. Considering how much LDS doctrine changes on a whim that is quite a bit of work.
I resigned in the early/mid 1990’s. Just because you seem to have memory issues due to your activity, doesn’t mean everyone else does.
Just because we speak out against Mormonism, doesn’t mean we have grudges to hold or were ex-communicated.
However your response shows just how much Mormon Kool Aid you have been drinking.
I am sorry you went back to being active LDS trying to earn godhood rather than becoming a Christian, saved by faith alone in the Grace of Christ and His blood shed on the CROSS (not the garden).
And the LDS church is ANYTHING but civil, ethical, or Godly. The more I study Mormonism, the more I see that it is Satanic in origin.
Too bad it is wrong.
They are howling
Howling with LAUGHTER...too bad you missed that part!!
Huh? What does that mean? Post #191 is a courtesy ping.
LOL Thanks!
As opposed to those of us who have researched the LDS and their practices, Joseph Smith and his con artist ways, and the fraudulent methodology of beginning and then continuing the LDS church? Jesus the Christ was a carpenter's son, not a glass looking con man.
I went inactive for some time, and forgot a lot.
Is it the old trouble?
All of the books that I had that were collecting dust in my closet while I was inactive still had all the same doctrine that they are teaching today.
Then why did the rites change?
My point is, the LDS church is perfectly civil and ethical.
It began in fraud and will end when that fraud ends.
Negative on a bunch of counts. It was not the first English version, it was not the most accurate version, and the LDS version has been significantly changed from the 1611 version. Before you go and tell people who you think the Latter Day Saints are, you need to get your facts straight.
It is not the Christians that are the most factually challenged. I will put St. Irenaeus or St. Ambrose up against Joseph Smith any day.
Kid there is not such thing as a “priesthood”
I guess you deont know...
The so called “priesthood” is an invention of guys who want to be big important fellows...
so they call themselves “aronic priests” when they are 12 yearsa old and give themselves some power...and the rule over their own mothers...see how unChristian the cult mormonism is ???
THE original Aaron was a Jew and a Levite, but the mormon idiots dont let that fract stop them...they just steal the title and add to the so called “powers”
When they are older these jumpped up boy scouts cal themseves “melchizedek priests”...now they are getting into something more serious..because there is a Melchizedek priest but ONLY one EVEDR...Jesus Himself...
Se how the mormons steal from Christianity ???
Blasphemy...
Well as so called “melcizedek priests” these mormoin males (only the males, the females dont count) then think they have powers straight from their mormon jesus to joey Smith and onto them alone...
Tjheres really not enough power between the lot of them to open a picle jar but they like to think they can...
By the way they are in a lot of a pickle when they go before the REAL Jesus and find that Joey Smith is not their savior and nottheir advocate and deoesnt decide who gets into their exclusive mormon after life...
But that the REAL Heaven is full of us unworthy females...
and we are right in front of the throne of God worshipping Jesus the Lamb of God...
Will the mormon males know that before Jesus judges them and sends them to Hell ???
You bet they’ll know...
But dont let that stop you from following a false prophet and a cult..
