I presume you're referring to shameless cowards like Paul Johnson, who lectured us all about morality and "immoral intellectuals", only to be caught with his pants down having an affair behind his wife's back. Did Hitchens ever have a field day taking the mickey out of him. With the high percentage of porn in Utah, I suspect that a lot of this is going unreported, and uncovered in many "priesthood" homes. Little factories out of control.
It also reminds me of shameless "prophets" who teach monogamy, but, too cowardly to say so publicly, drop their zippers for 14-16 year olds behind closed doors, then call them prostitutes when they dob him in. I would say that's going pretty close to pedophilia.
I would think, with the history of your cowardly, immoral prophet, you'd be the last one to talk about "cowdardice". You obviously have no shame. And it's no wonder your current crop of "prophets" don't want any of this known to the "Iron Rodders". Your whole Church is one big Cognitive Dissonant Con. So wash your finger before you point it at others.
