Do Church leaders protect sexual offenders who are connected

[_Mustagath]

There is a lot of evidence that Church leaders, general and local, protect sexual offenders (molestors, sexual harassers, rapists, pedophiles) "if" those offenders are "connected". By "connected" I mean:

*They are blood relatives of Church leaders.

*They are related to Church leaders by marriage.

*They have long friendships with Church leaders.

*Their families have close friendships with Church leaders.

*They are "Second Anointed" or blood related to "Second Anointed" (i.e. Members of the Church who receive the super-secret Second Anointing ceremony in the Salt Lake Temple, which seals them to Eternal Life, making their calling and election sure)

*They are blood related to a "Mormon Whale" (i.e. a very very wealthy Member of the Church who frequently gives large amounts of money to the Church---usually as a tax write-off)

I myself personal observed 4 cases where Bishops, High Counselors, Stake Presidents, decided to "hide" offenders because the offenders were blood related to local Church leaders. This included one pedophile and at least one young man who had many accusations of rape against him by local Mormon girls. He never saw the inside of a Church Court, and was sent on a mission to Japan. He was the son of the Stake President. The Bishop who wanted to excommunicate this young man, was himself released as Bishop (a very popular bishop who served 3 and 1/2 years), and a new Bishop was called who did nothing but threaten Members to "keep quiet" about the offender's activities or face excommunication.

So, yes, this goes on all the time, all over the Church. Another case in point was the cousin of a General Authority (one of the Presidents of the Seventies, who is now dead) whose cousin was sexually molesting many children, most of them Mormon children. The members involved were threatened with excommunication if they did not "keep silent". The pedophile was simply moved, and moved again and moved again. Similar to what the Roman Catholic bishops did for many decades with pedophile priests: just move them to new parishes so they could re-offend.

One must be aware that the Brethren are most concerned with two things:

1) The Church making more money. The Church has 32 billion in the stock market.

2) The "image" of the Church. If you get up in Sunday School and say, "The Church used to teach that blacks are the cursed children of Cain and less valiant in the War in Heaven" the Bishop will take you in an "counsel" (command) you to remain silent, or else. If you bring up the subject again, which is confirmed Church History, you'll face a Church Court, and you'll may be excommunicated. However, you can get your own daughters pregnant, or if you sexually molest children in the Ward, but if you are Second Anointed, or blood related, if you are "connected" it will all be covered up, hushed up, you'll be put on probation for a year, but nobody will be the wiser. But, again, you have to be "connected". The Church only excommunicates those connected who are ARRESTED and it becomes a matter of public record! Otherwise, they cover it all up. Not you! If YOU mention the Curse of Cain in a Sacrament Talk, or during Fast and Testimony, you'll find yourself in a Church Court fasting than Joseph Smith could say "Fanny Alger"!!! You've just acted "in an unchristian-like way". But, if you are "connected" you can molest your daughters, and/or sons, other children, and "if" the Church thinks it can keep it quiet, it will. There is a massive tract record of the Church doing that for the "connected". But not for you!
