This is easy: depart the LDS.
Problem solved.
Easy for us we are on the outside looking in, but not so easy for them.
Whether the subject is religion or politics, those with absolute (or close to absolute) power have a very high probability of becoming as corrupt as a Democrat.
Daily Mail.....where oh where is “SHOCKING!” in the headline? You guys are falling down on the job.

We have friends who left the LDS and like any other cult the LDS predictably acted like a cult when they left.
Unlike “leaving the Methodists”, leaving LDS is more like leaving islam. That is because it is a kinship structure as well as being a system of belief, which itself is thoroughly entwined in kinship: past, preset and future.
It can be done, though; but at great emotional cost.
Seems like...
When there’s a power structure...there’s also an abuse structure.
Religious “leaders” suppressing the enforcement of civil/State/Fed laws for any reason is Sharia.
Yes. Most leaders start out with good intentions. But the years in power corrupts them. One easy way to limit this corruption is to have term limits. Term limits for politicians. Term limits for church leaders. Term limits for union bosses. Etc.
Of course weโll never see this happen.
LDS is a cult. A whole state in the U.S. basically under the regime of a cult. Those tangled up in a cult usually need deliverance and prayer.
Pick your religion and affiliations carefully.
When your whole family and most friends and probably your employer or business contacts are in, and are required to shun you if you leave,it gets complicated.
What is it with religion and Sex Offenders ?
There is a Joseph Smith quote where he states he is the Mohammed of his day. So considering its scriptures questionable origin at that quote it is an apt comparison.
I was wondering if I can get a copy of the golden tablets maybe on E bay? Carigslist?
Funny or not story..I worked with a lady..that once told me..she would agree to a second wife to her husband..to help with all the housework. And they were not Mormon.
mention names and places, sometimes people believe the rumors
Pretty much the same as public schools. Or boy scouts. Or therapists. Or sports coaches. Human beings are involved.
She wasn’t serious.
