I think that a lot of members would see this as a very poor choice on the part of the ward mission leader and that some bishops would actually be receptive to suggestions on how to correct this or prevent it from happening in the future. It just depends on how LDSToronto wants to handle it. He knows his ward. I have had bishops that I would feel comfortable talking to about this and others for which it would be a waste of time.

I hope that LDST makes this part of whatever response he makes...

Members who came to such a confrontational event would leave any meeting like this feeling justified that they called him an apostate. It would serve no purpose except to further entrench each side. LDS knows his ward. Were I him I would let certain people (bishop or elders quorum president or, if he is really sly, the relief society president) know how deeply he and his family have been hurt by these viscous public accusations against him, how devastated the kids are and that they are praying that the Lord will forgive this man.

Then let the ward rumor mill do its work.

This is the way the game is played. Excellent idea!

The absolute worst thing you could do for your ward is to lie and admit to touching and abusing small children while you were in a leadership position.

That's pretty nuclear.

It was kind of dumb to say what the dude said about you and the wife.

Except I don't know how to spell vicious but hey viscous works too. . . sort of, the ward mission leader was laying it on pretty thick.

Back in the Nineties in a Bountiful, Utah ward my kids would not let me in on everything that was going on to alienate my children from their apostate dad. Finally I was told that a Sunday School teacher told them directly that I was going to hell and we could not be together as a family in heaven and wouldn't they want to help their dad repent. Messing with my kids. Man that's low. I am steeled against their abominations. My kids got no franchise at all.

Ten years later when I happened to run into that teacher at the Bountiful library I so much as called her a witch for plying a wicked craft to alienate my kids from me. They would call out my kids in front of everyone in Junior Sunday School for NOT being baptized yet EVERY time someone else was. Luckily I never heard of that while we lived there.

Payback can be a bitch......yeah the Whore of all the Earth situated behind Salt Lake City next to Ensign Peak drawing all the condemnation from the Apocalrock down upon the heads of the LDS Church where the LORD put them to make this strange point in the eyes of all nations. That they might rightly consider the salvation of their God and have a moment to pause and think before the end.

In this sighting we see the Great Whore sitting with a fallen church in the dust. A king of the earth uncovers his nakedness before her showing that they all commit fornication with her. She sits holding back all nations from progressing.
The LDS commit whoredoms with the world of Babylon subjecting themselves to her rule they lose the crown of righteousness ripped from off her head which is full of bruises and open sores that are not closed. See Isaiah chapter 1. How have the chosen fallen in the dust. The whore is the one who perverts the right way of the Lord. Oh yeah!

This is getting insane!!!!!!!!!!!

Is it really possible (No matter what color jersey you are wearing) to be that blind and not see how crystal clearly wrong this is/was? How grossly out of bounds this is/was?

Are you kidding me?

Really??????????????


Unbelievable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To be fair, Ceeboo, I don't think doing things like the OP relates is representative of Mormons.

Neither are the residents of the planet that Why Me lives on.

[_why me]

I told the bishop one thing - people are welcome in my home to visit, but overt attempts to proselytize are not welcome. So, don't make an assignment to Sister NeverSeenHer to come visit Dear Wife when she has never said two words to Dear Wife. But, by all means, drop on by, any one, for tea and crumpets.

Yep, I feel the love......it is tingling all over...I'll come by and talk about the yankees to the south. Or about the mapleleafs...or about the weather....at least I will eat some crumpets...and then....H. on this forum can complain a little about a weak attempt at getting him back to church.
