Elizabeth Smart back in SLC again

[_DarkHelmet]

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.

I have great sympathy for Elizabeth and admiration for her courage, whatever her religion.

You really hit rock bottom on this one, Joseph.

[_Pahoran]

Joseph,

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

It is refreshing to see you admit that you are motivated by hate. Most of your lot deny it till they're blue in the face.

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).

Call for references, please; where have I used this kind of cheap demagoguery "to attack others on a regular basis?"

If you're going to let the religion 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.

I love the way that you manage to appear to be chiding one of your own, but use it as a an opportunity to get in your gratuitous counterfactuals.

Actually it has anti-Mormon written all over it. It's what your clowns engage in. Your only objection to Joseph is that he's too obvious about it.

You're better than this.

No. He isn't.

And neither are you, as your post demonstrates.

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

What was "taken?" I thought he abandoned his birthright of his own accord.

Regards,
Pahoran

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.

Well I'm just gonna say it the way I'm thinking it.

You are a disgusting pig, Joseph.

The opportunity to face her abuser is more than likely part of the process of her healing from untold amounts of abuse suffered at such a young and innocent age and one that serves to empower her so that she can live a life with courage and determination.

And you...you use this to mock her family and, I assume, the LDS church.

People like you make me want to vomit for your very lack of human understanding, discretion and well, you're simply an anti-intellectual non-human disgusting pig.

Joseph,

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

It is fine to hate evil. I hate evil, too, and that is why I fight against it when I see it. The "Mormon church" [sic] is not evil, nor is it called "the Mormon church." There is not much to hate about it. I can understand that there are a few things someone like you could take issue with historically, but there is nothing to hate about it, and it most certainly is not evil.

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).

Where have I ever used Josephs idiotic and brainless methods to attack anyone? Where? Show me. Comparing any right-minded individual to Joseph is the ultimate insult, and you had better back that up.

If you're going to let the religion 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.

How does it have "Mormon" [sic] written all over it?

You're better than this.

I am afraid you severely lack the ability to accurately assess those whom you engage on this message board. Show me one substantial post that Joseph has made, ever! You can claim that my posts are rarely substantial if you like, but at least I do make the occasional contribution to the discussion.

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

CFR. What was "taken?" The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is a 100% voluntary organization. Everything about it is voluntary. We do not "take" anything.

Don't tiptoe around like that, Jersey Girl.

Tell Joseph what you really think.

He's a big boy; I'm sure he can take it.

Many victims wish to face their victimizer in court during sentence proceedings.

You think? Cause that wasn't just exactly what I was thinking.

Tonight on the Lord's Channel they had her. And behind her was Ed Smart. And I could only imagine his hand up the back of her shirt, like a Muppet, his hand running her mouth.

Ed Smart needs to “F” off and let his daughter be whatever she wants to be. But Ed likes the spotlight, even at the expense of his loin fruit.
