I think Mormons will be better off if people seek to support victims and sort through the mess rather than jump on the bandwagon of accusations.
I seriously doubt any children were hurt by being sexually abused. Now, you may be right they are being hurt - but that comes from being used as pawns by Mr. Karren in a fight with his former in-laws and ex-wife. And that is in part or entirely Mr. Karren's fault.

Just a gentle request...I have Tobin on ignore. I've done that because I have no interest in anything he has to say and when I inadvertently read something he's written I feel I lose a few brain cells and/or need to go shower. Could I ask that if you do feel the need to respond to something the poster-prevented-from-having-sex-by-a-space-being has written, please don't quote his post. I don't have sufficient grey matter to waste reading his off topic drivel.
Thanks in anticipation....

Says the guy that mindlessly spams articles from the SLTrib into the forum and keeps changing his username to circumvent ignore lists.

Do you mind quickly telling me (and anyone else who might be interested) where the ignore feature is on this board? I haven't ever taken that step on a message board before because I can usually use drivel to make a point, but now would be a good time to start. Child abuse is nothing to troll about.

Ah, poor you. Another fringe lunatic liberal that can't handle it when people disagree with them. Best to ignore people that disagree with you. After all, you can't justify your egregious views.

You may be right. And COJCOLDS has no Francis to give them hope and healing.

But they do have Kirton McConkie to draft up out of court settlements and compromise agreements.
