“Where have all the ... MORMONs gone...?
They’ve been here, called names, posted links, shared feelings, made wild, unsupported claims of truth...
What else is there you want them to do?!
Ah, truth. Hmmmmmmmm... You aren’t, by any chance, holding your breath, are you?
Be sure and let us know when one of these criminals is revered as a “Prophet, Seer and Revelator” in the manner of child-molesting Joseph Smith. I’m sure you will keep up with them.
FARMINGTON Todd Mortensen, the former foster father facing charges of criminal sexual penetration against a foster daughter, continued his foster role after having more than 80 counts of sex-crime charges dropped in 2005 and despite being licensed as a foster care worker with the state Children, Youth and Families Department in 1994, a Daily Times investigation found.
Mortensen, 45, confessed April 1 to six counts of criminal sexual contact against a 12-year-old girl living in his home as a foster daughter. Two counts of criminal sexual penetration against the same girl were added to the list of charges April 5.
Multiple sources confirm Mortensen and his wife, Lisa, fostered as many as 50 children during the last two decades. Six children were placed in the home by CYFD while they maintained a Family Foster Home license from June 1991 through April 1994, according to CYFD records. The remaining children, including the victim who claimed Mortensen sexually abused her in 2004 and the victim of the recent charges, were fostered privately outside the state's scrutiny.
Outside the system
The 12-year-old girl and two additional foster girls were removed by CYFD when Mortensen was arrested April 1. A Sheriff's investigation revealed they were placed privately in the Mortensen home by the girls' adopted families. CYFD has no record of the girls being placed through the state system, CYFD spokeswoman Romaine Serna said.
The Mortensens went outside the scope of the state agency to foster children, a decision that is not illegal, Serna said. Many foster or adoptive parents go through private or religious agencies that place children.
The Mortensens, who are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, did not go through the church system, but may have used community connections within the church to offer assistance to other families.
Oh, snap!
Someone should make a list of all the school teacher-predators who have sexually abused children. That list would be hundreds of thousands.
I do have to say, however that only Mohammed and FLDS/LDS Prophets Joseph Smith and Brigham Yound taught this as doctrine however.
I know of no Christian denominations that preach polygamy for the sexual exploitation of youth, or that taught that Christ was a polygamist.
Thanks!!!
Clearly you miss the point. The church claims to be good and these priests are suppose to do good. Instead they do evil.
I thought Bobo was a clown, or a monkey?
BTW....when you throw that Scripture..."Thee without "sin" throw the first stones...etc..." you reveal that you don't understand the Scriptures very well.

Passing the trash
Too often, problem teachers are allowed to leave quietly. That can mean future abuse for another student and another school district.Its a dynamic so common it has its own nicknamespassing the trash or the mobile molester.
Cool vid, thanks!
If they are on a pedestal, it's only because you put them there, not me.
During the era when the Roman rite mandated clerical celibacy (other rites -- and there are dozens, I think, do not.) the Jews had a contrasting practice. When a bright young man with pastoral gifts was asked to become a rabbi, the community also tried to find a bright young wife for him, taking up a collection for the dowry if necessary. The pastoral couple was then encouraged to have lots of bright young children.
The Catholics were content to squeeze one lifetime of service from each cleric. The Jews accepted reduced output for the current generation in exchange for expanded influence in generations to come.
"Jesus saves. Moses invests."
A missionary pastor sojourning in our church was going back to the field in a different European country. Said an opinionated member of this church to this husband and father of six girls, "Your family will be more than half of your ministry, on a continent where the Spaniards are not having little Spaniards, the Germans are not having little Germans, and the Italians are not having little Italians." Five years later, this has indeed proven to be the case. Most of the members of the church they started in their neighborhood were met through family-centric activities.
Celibacy is named after the earth goddess Celebe, whose priests castrated themselves during the hilarion, the "festival of joy." They believed that the sacrifice of their fertility made possible the fertility of the fields. The default setting for maximum human happiness and productivity is -- the normal family. I appreciate your sense of vocation -- but have you looked into non-Roman rites?

As for those agitators, I wish they would go the whole way and emasculate themselves!
Nope. Texas is spot on.
