Loosely translated-- Two men entered their living quarters at six A.M. They were robbed, and the one from Argentina was raped. They both have prior convictions.
My Google translation reads: Mormon missionary was raped this morning in Temuco after two strangers from entering a house where a group of members of this religious lives.
Less cultish missionaries spread their beliefs in dangerous places while knowing the risks. The morg teaches children that missionaries are safe and protected, then throws them into the real world as soon as they reach 18 (at which point the cult is no longer legally liable).
I wondering if, given the large increase in missionaries, some are being sent to the less safe areas of foreign countries to avoid crowding in the most customary areas.
The fact that TSCC now directly controls the amount of money a missionary receives to live on may well result in renting in less desirable, but more affordable, housing in higher crime rate areas.
My parents sent my funds directly to me (Texas 1960-62) as was done back then. They always made sure I have enough to live in a good area of town as was true of most missionaries.
Too awful for words. I only hope with all my heart that they get the help they need to heal from this. In my opinion they should be sent home where counseling and healing time can have plenty of opportunity to occur.
My rage comes out on these types of needless violences that these young people are indoctrinated to expose themselves to. These young naive trusting souls do not know the danger they are subjecting themselves to, BUT THE G#dD#MN cult does.
The cult should be held accountable and be forced to STOP THIS DANGEROUS AND HARMFUL ACTIVITY.
I hope these women get the appropriate help. They need to start legal solutions, so the church provides secure apartments at least. The MP will want to shush it up ASAP.
The rape victims are at an impasse. They are now viewed as damaged. If they go home, they will be constantly pitied/avoided. If they remain there, they won't get adequate therapy and have PTSD. Is that in their manual or training booklet? What to do if assaulted...
All these kids are sitting ducks. They need to eliminate this insanity. Instead, their bright idea is to send them out younger and even more clueless.
Are you kidding! Her routine was flawless and she stuck the landing! This is the 1988 olympics all over again, with the CCCP judges lying their asses off! Shame on you, Dubious Tomas!
Isn't this what Spencer Kimball said? I'm pretty sure he wrote that girls should surrender their lives before their virtue, and for a long time, and maybe still today, Mormon mothers told their daughters, "I'd rather you came home in a box, than came home without your virtue."
There should be a website for former missionaries where they can post crimes/dates/locations. If a crime happened and the church quietly sent someone home, then reopened the same area 3 or 6 months later with additional assaults, everyone could start putting the pieces together to form individual or class action suits.
Secrecy and misinformation is what the church has relied on in the past. Shine a light on these smarmy perpetrators.
My heart goes out to these girls, especially the victim.
From the comments, someone from a non-official LDS radio station said the following and aslo commented on how this media reporting the news is not a serious media but more of a sensationalistic media:
