Elizabeth Smart back in SLC again

The girl gets around.
Wonder how many other missionaries get to come home for elective court appearances? She did not have to show up, it was a choice. She could have put in a letter just as easily.



Is daddy orchestrating this to build further the industry he has been milking from this whole thing since the ex-con he allowed into the home became her kidnapper?

Mitchell needs to be in a mental institution for a long time. Smart needs to move on quit pushing for publicity.

Wow you're an asshole.

Elizabeth Smart had unspeakable things done to her as a little girl and you use this opportunity to mock her, her family and her church.

I can't believe you condone child molestation -- as long as the child is LDS.

You are truly an asshole.

I am going to have to go with SB on this one. You need to let go of your hatred for the church.

Simon, are you angling to be the subject of a 60-page thread dedicated to your vulgarities?

You need to accept the fact that the double standard is thoroughly institutionalised here, and post accordingly.

Apart from that, I agree with you. Joseph clearly thinks her sufferings are unimportant. How could they be otherwise? She's only a Mormon; it's not like she's fully human, or anything.

I reserve my vulgarities (usually) for two posters: Joseph and CamNC4Me. I despise their online personae, for their hearts are rotten.

Ha ha, yeah, I accept it. That's why I don't really watch what I say to some posters.

Yes, a Morgbot, clearly.

This OP disgusts me.

Elizabeth Smart is an activist. Publicity is likely seen as a positive thing since she can use it to shine light on the issues faced by survivors of violence.

I'm glad she was able to be a witness in the trial. I wish that all missionaries were encouraged to take a break for their mission to attend important things like funerals, weddings, etc.

I wish Elizabeth every happiness life can offer.

Joseph,

I think it's fine to hate evil and there's plenty to hate in the Mormon church.

But I would suggest you come up with a valid argument occasionally. It turns my stomach to appear to be in agreement with the tools that use your methods to attack others on a regular basis (belmont and pahoran in this case).

If you're going to let the religeon go, you need to take a good look at letting this method of over-sensationalizing your posts with no legitimate references go as well. This has Mormon written all over it. It's this behavior that these clowns engage in.

You're better than this.

But it's ok to be pissed for a while. Where much was taken, there is much to let go.
