Agreed. And as we've seen with Penn State, sometimes there are more enablers in certain places than others.
For example this thread. Even you haven't specifically addressed the Mormon bishop enabler who's the topic of this thread...yet you somehow found plenty of opportunity to comment on the Penn State enablers.
Interesting.
(Yes you very broadly may have in some hidden way lumped him in when you said: "There are Bishops who do not do their duty to their flock..."
That hardly ranks with your sharp to-the-point statements you've made about the Penn State enablers this week. So you see what I mean? You rush in to say "that's not true" and then you prove that I'm on to something in a distinct way...in that you don't apparently wish to talk about THIS specific bishop that THIS specific thread is about. Why not?
It is pretty shameful of you, IMHO, to try and lump all LDS members on this forum into a category where you indicate that we “don’t care,” that we “ignore it,” that we somehow turn away from it. That simply is not true...
Jeff, do you know how many threads I've posted re: Lds abuse victims?
Alright, that's a rhetorical Q. (I don't even know)
But a fair number. I wish I could say that for every Lds FREEPER post mentioning an Lds victim, that there were "only" 20 posts about me -- the thread-poster. But I don't think I can...because I think your post here was the first that got Lds FREEPERS out of the zero category...and zero can't be multiplied and represented in ratios like 15 to 1 or 20 to 1.
But that's my point Jeff. Why do Lds threads about Lds perpetrators and Lds victims often become attempted hijacks about whoever posted the article?
As for the rest of your post, I appreciate you sharing the abuse story you told. You are a cut above other Mormon FREEPERS in integrity.
This bishop, as I said regarding other bishops and my point there was to say that they, sadly, tragically certainly exist in our faith...did not do his moral duty regarding his members and particularly the abused victim.
It is shameful and should not happen and if the story is as it is depicted here...then he should be released from his position and if it warrants it, charged for the crime.
Ultimately, as with Sandusky and the Penn State people, and as with other denominations who experience these things...such people would be subject to the District QAttorney determining there was enough evidence, a grand jury indicting him, and then a jury of his peers who would hear the evidence.
I have no respect or tolerance for people who, for whatever reason, misplaced loyalties as they see it, perverted since of right and wrong, trying to counsel with or help the criminal...does not matter...I have no tolerance for people anywhere who allow such molestation and crime to go unpunsihed and who do not do the moral imperaitve that rests on us all to protect the innocent and children.
