Ooops a typo in my first sentence. I wrote: “Does anyone think that any of the Christian evangelicals will be offended to know that their church president” but meant to write “Does anyone think that any of the Christian evangelicals will be offended to know that their USA president (assuming Romney is elected)”
Now as far as my story about my friend I omitted one little detail. The phone call releasing him was from Hinckley directly and my friend was threatened with excommunication by Hinckley if he shared any confidential dealings he had with the people he helped in his congregation with anyone. So please don’t spread this story around as I don’t want the church disciplining my friend for disobeying his church leader’s orders to obstruct justice regarding child molestation. And yes this story I’m sharing is definitely true and I’d confirm this under penalty of perjury in a court of law if forced to do so.
Hmm, there are JUDGES who go out of their way to protect pedophiles who come before them. Why should we expect that problem to be isolated to the bench!
My stake had a serial rapist who was moved from ward to ward and it covered up. Any of the women who wanted to go to the police were told not to and were threatened with excommunication. I only found out because his psychologist (my boyfriend’s father) broke confidentiality and warned me.
You are correct that it is all about making ‘the Church’ look good.
