Try to find out what ward they're in. The only person they might listen to is their bishop. If you can't, find another LDS guy to talk to them for you. You may have noticed that on top of P/A, these guys are misogynist. Welcome to Mormonland. Don't drink the Kool-Aid.

Joseph Smith was a "fuck you" kind of guy. Fuck your rules, your boundaries, your laws. And if you don't love me then fuck you too. Good for you for seeing the doctrine for what it is. Do you still need religion? Pick any one you want, they're all made up.

So after all this time, I have to go to my priesthood leaders to determine my culpability in the Church's emotional abuse of me. Well, I guess I have to go back and confess. Kids shouldn't be letting adults screw up their heads.

When your role model is Joseph Smith, shit happens. Poor Mrs Teacher. Probably lots of those.

The inventor of body armor had a really hard time selling his product. He actually had to put it on and shoot himself in the stomach to get police departments to buy it. I wouldn't try that with these garmies.

I heard about that new Twaron polymer. It's made with a special catalytic process using Twaronite, a mineral taken from a meteorite that came from Kolob. BYU geologist Twar Johnson was perusing the Church vault after Thomas S Monson asked for some time alone with his hot wife Tiffany Johnson. After looking at several artifacts, a peculiar meteorite caught his eye. Johnson immediately recognize

In any cultural setting, there are written rules and unwritten rules. The unwritten rule is if a rape happens the woman must have done something to provoke it. In LDS doctrine, the stuff I learned at youth conferences and never could wrap my egalitarian mind around, has it that men are supposed to be the aggressors in sexual escalation and women are supposed to resist. If a guy gets overzealous i

I think the DOJ will have to sort this out. I can imagine lawyers jumping at this to make a name for themselves. Things are different these days. Religious intolerance isn't nearly as tolerable post-9/11.

Maybe, but the Honor Code Office gladly accepted the file. That creates a real ethical problem for BYU. Unfortunately for them, Da Rulez trumps ethics and now a snowball is rolling. But it's not snow. When you see a steaming pile of dog poo in front of you, do you jump on it with both feet?

You may get your wish. Misogyny, racism and scandal? How can the big news outlets pass this up? I hope this girl sues BYU big time. I just noticed the deputy who sent her case file to the HCO was friends with the accused rapist. Maybe the HCO needs a Geiger counter because they should have known that the file is radioactive.

Huh? BYU is fighting the cops. The Honor Code Office is obstructing justice. The prosecutor needed the witness to stay in Utah until after the case. Way to protect the attacker. Doesn't sound very honorable, does it?

Mormonism should come with a disclaimer: Your results may vary depending on personal worthiness, scripture study, prayer and regularity of tithing payment. Quitting Mormonism may cause severe emotional upset and disgust, love bombing, and shunning.

Having grown up in the church, here's what I would tell my TBM self if I could send a message back in time. What are you waiting for, for you to love yourself with no reservations?

What, you didn't learn the first time? If the mob hadn't killed Joseph and Hyrum at Carthage, the church would be just another extinct hippie sect. Besides, most of us lost our "Get out of hell free" card. There is no longer an excuse for violence. Sometimes when people really piss me off, I regret losing my religion. (That's a joke).
