Comment on What is the Mormon view of capital punishment? by Maria

I am from Spain, and all mormons I know support the death penalty, and I think it is discusting. You are against abortion and in favor of murdering a person. I dont get your racist religion with blacks and the priesthood, until 2002 Utah was the last state in recognizing Martin Luther King, I just want to vomit when I think about it.

Comment on The Mormon Church and child sex abuse: A response to Marci Hamilton by james

I think that if someone comes forward and voluntarily admits to something they did wrong to a bishop, and tries to make amends with the situation (which includes serving time and any other legal consequences) they should be given some slack. Yes, child abuse is deplorable – but at the same time, I do believe that people can change. I have worked in the mental health/criminal justice system and have seen some very profound turn-around in the lives of people who have committed atrocious things in the past. True, there are those who regress and commit crimes again, but that is why we need to take everything on a case-by-case basis; I believe it is unfair to blanket an entire portion (a significant portion, if one looks at the statistics) of the population with a one-size-fits-all punishment. If someone wants to turn their life around and proves through their actions that they really want to, I think they should be given the chance. After all, isn’t that what we all would want for ourselves or our loved ones?

My experience is that the LDS church, of which I am no longer a member, will do whatever it takes to protect its image. My relative was threatened that he must deny the abuse he endured at the hands of prominent church leaders “must be denied that it ever took place,” or face excommunication. He chose excommunication over lying. LDS members are extremely naiive and follow anything and everything LDS leaders instruct.

Comment on The Mormon Church and child sex abuse: A response to Marci Hamilton by Norton R. Nowlin

As an addendum to my previous statements, I will also assert that, in most cases, when a convicted sex offender is allowed to regain his, or her, authority and position of trust in an LDS ward and stake, very few of the parents in the respective wards of that stake are made aware of the convicted sex offender status of that pedaphile. In the case of Herget, the parents, active Latter-Day Saints, of those victimized children were not aware that Herget was a convicted child preditor. Surprisingly, no lawsuits, to my knowledge, have arisen out of the actions of Herget and the Mormon Church.

Comment on Warren Jeffs’ appeal to be heard at BYU by Toes

A bit slow, but thanks for the mention. My blog is not an “FLDS” blog, nor am I a member of the FLDS church/group/community. My primary subject matter is the 2008 raid on the YFZ ranch, its setup, execution, and fallout, but I do occasionally comment on other events. I am on the side that believes that raiding peoples’ homes and taking away their children based on anonymous hoax telephone calls is something that is to be avoided, if we are interested in upholding the constitutional rights of the populace.

I am grateful to see this thoughtful response to Hamilton’s article. I read the article on another blog today, and just finished my own response. Wish I had found this sooner so I could have just linked over to this response.
