LDS "Abused in Mormonism"

[Rescued One]

I think the number is 1-800-998-0332.

I was surprised by the information on TV. The surprise is that the help is available. I wasn't sexually abused, but others were.

I found this online:

Former LDS bishop’s sex abuse convictions upheld by Utah Supreme Court


All Latter-day Saints, both men and women, are counseled to obey their leaders. To do so is considered a blessing. We are instructed that the Lord himself called our bishops, stake presidents and general authorities to the positions they hold, and it is not our place to question them.

I'm sure there are more links. My ex-brother-in-law was an abuser.

Yeah a bishop tried to kiss my grandmother. She told me over and over before she passed on. It's not unheard of that's for sure.

There are good and bad people in every church. Some are wheat and some are tares.

Mark 10
18 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God.

However, the state of mankind isn't what the thread is about. It's how leaders handle the instances of abuse.

There is no excuse for any kind of abuse in any church.
