The Mormon Church insists that YOU must REPENT! -Confess your wrongs -Express regret -Apologize -Commit to change -Make amends for harm done Does anyone else find it odd that the LDS Church & its Ldrs do NONE of those things when they harm ppl? Who's really "Unworthy" here? 🤔
In the LDS Church, keeping pedophiles secrets is more important than protecting children. Why would you take your child to a church that knowingly puts kids in danger, with unreported “secret pedophiles” in the ward?
The next time you hear someone hyping up the LDS Church or BOM online... Think of this influencer who was offered $1000's to make videos saying The Book of Mormon "changed her life" & provided "peace, clarity, & purpose". Is that not deceitful? tiktok.com/@alitzahs/vide…
My LDS mom asks why I didn’t tell her as a child that I was being SA’d. I don’t have the heart to tell her… I never felt safe to tell her anything. My LDS family was so focused on appearing perfect, that I hid everything “imperfect”, to escape criticism & feel acceptable. ⬇️
No amount of paid influencers will save the LDS church from the impact of ppl sharing their harmful/controlling LDS experience. Instd of paying people to hype up the church, maybe they should focus on ensuring members aren't harmed & would have nothing bad to say.🤷♀️ 3 clips:
Is the LDS Bishop who protected McConkie celebrating this? Are Kirton McConkie lawyers high-fiving each other b/c a McConkie got away w/ SA'ing a child? How many LDS clergy & Kirton McConkie attorneys actually made it their "1st priority to help the victim"? I'm guessing zero.
UPDATE July 1, 2025 Mormon Sex Abuse Case: floodlit.org/a/a720/ Former Mormon stake president and deputy district attorney, David McConkie, was sentenced today in Colorado to 5 years probation after a plea deal to avoid jail time for sexual abuse of a child.
Lori Daybell is an extreme example of how the fear-based teachings in the LDS Church can impact ppl. She says she was just following Pres Nelson, preparing for the 2nd coming. Sidenote: Nemo was ex’d for saying words the church didn’t like, but Lori Daybell is still a member??
✴️LDS news!✴️ The LDS church has rebaptized a convicted pedo, so now he’s worthy & totally cool to be near kids again at church! What could go wrong?? Nothing quite says "the church is true" like LDS Church Ldrs recklessly rolling the dice with your children's safety.
LDS Church logic: – Confess to premarital sex? Bishops will spill the info & get you expelled from BYU. "Actions have consequences!" – Confess to child sexual abuse? Bishops will keep it secret & protect the abuser. "Confessions MUST be kept confidential!" That's the system.


Call me crazy. You don't have "zero tolerance for abuse" if you: -Learn a predator abused LDS kids & -Don't report to police & -Allow that pedo to get close to more LDS kids & -Keep it secret from mmbrs that there's a pedo in the ward w/ a history of abusing LDS kids!🤷♀️ Clip⬇️
Came across this on TikTok. Weird that a church with “zero tolerance for abuse” & a “first priority to help victims” has so many victims speaking up about abuse coverups & the harm the church has caused. 🤔

An LDS Stake Pres told a woman to write a DETAILED essay abt breaking the law of chastity, then had her read it to him &... said he needed to keep it. She complied. 😬 She now asks, “Was that normal?” Don’t tell me the LDS Church doesn’t normalize grooming & destroy boundaries.
The LDS Church, which says their "1st priority is to help victims"... Doesn't care abt the actual needs of victims or providing real repentance/restitution for harm. Instd they brag about settling abuse cases for far less than they're worth, considering "jury appeal" & SOL's.🤔
Floodlit.org just discovered $1,268,835.62 more in Mormon church child sex abuse defense and settlement costs. Did you know Boy Scouts registration fees increased in the 1980s/90s to offset rising insurance premiums due in part to SA claims against the Mormon church?
You know your church has a child abuse problem & they're lying when... They promote that they 'fight [abuse] problems; & they seek & provide solutions everywhere in world'... But then they restrict all comments. 🤔

I’m sorry but WHAT??!!?? Aidan Hoffman pleads guilty to 2 felony charges of sexual exploitation of a minor, has 10 other charges dropped. Judge Don Torgerson decides to waive prison time / fines: “112 days is a lot of jail time. It’s a lot of jail time for someone your age who…
NEW: A Utah judge is being criticized for comments he made as he sentenced a man for sexually exploiting children #utpol @KSL5TV ksltv.com/website/uncate…
When the LDS Church chooses NOT to report known child SA.. Who benefits? -No bad PR -Less victims come forward -Less lawsuits/$ risk -Discernment isn't ?'ed -Mmbrs: false sense of safety Who's harmed? -Victims are left to be abused w/o help -LDS kids are knowingly put in danger
You might be Mormon if when your child tells you they’ve been sexually assaulted… Your first instinct is to shame & blame them & force them to go see a middle-aged Bishop with zero training in handling sexual assault. The LDS Church & its culture is toxic for SA survivors.
How many of the LDS victims felt immediately that something was wrong… But they discounted their own experience b/c he was a discerned, worthy, trusted Priesthood-holder? Most of the victims came forward after Broadbent was publicly called out by 1 victim on Mormon Stories.
If you struggle with toxic perfectionism after growing up Mormon… Remember: It’s not b/c church ldrs told you your whole life you weren’t doing enough or good enough or needed to be perfect. It’s YOUR misunderstanding! Do better! /s 😒
