Sounds familiar...

Sauce:

Despite feeling upset and confused by what was happening, the man told her dreadful things would happen to her if she told anyone what was happening, she claims.

Mr. Stak,

I borrowed the sauce term from you. Imitation is the best complement, isn't it?

Very familiar.

When she asked her alleged abuser to stop, he had replied, while it was a “sin” for others to act in such a way, it was not for him as he “was worthy and had been chosen by God”. He also tried to convince her everything he did “manifested through the holy spirit”, she claims.
It is my province to teach to the Church what the doctrine is. It is your province to echo what I say or to remain silent.

Sorry, the woman is a liar, because she is no longer Mormon. While a Mormon, she could not lie, because Mormon women and girls never lie, but since she is ex-Mormon, she is a liar, because NO Mormon MISSIONARY WOULD EVER DO THAT because they are called by God, and God would never send a molestor on a mission. So, the ex-mormon woman is a liar.

The teenage Irish girl
also claims the [LDS missionary] had forcibly restrained and sexually abused her on one occasion while another church elder acted as sentry and alerted the man that other church members were approaching.

The best two years of their lives, right?

Do you think the "raising the bar" initiative is paying dividends?

Well, if we're talking JSJr-style dividends, it seems so.

Like I said, imitation is the best compliment. Would Joseph consider it a compliment?

When she had told senior church members about what happened, they told her not to reveal it to her non-Mormon parents or gardaí, she claims. The man moved to another part of Ireland, before eventually going to the US.

(Note: 'gardai' = Police)


Yet another alleged example of a Bishop covering up abuse?
