One was blocked, ostensibly by a female rape enabler (what a shot), and two cams still recording. The male and female enablers left me breatheless. If you aren't part of the solution, you're the problem. Tools.... yikes. Sulphur...

It's the creepy men. How dare they silence her. How dare no one in the pews got up to help her. She was assaulted all over again in the very place people claim to be safe. They got her money but she has no freedom to speak or even get help.

Bunch of hogwash.
#metoo does not belong in church? Those 2 men should have something done about them. Removed from leadership, excommunicated.

They refused to listen. They silenced her. They even got a Morman judge (educated at BYU, of course) to peel off her charges. The LDS is a well-funded operation - don't ever forget that 10% tithe - they have some of the best lawyers and judges money can buy. On retainer. They have done everything they could to to marginalize her and dismiss her.

I ask you, what else could she do ?

Go back to George Carlin's HBO "Complaints and Grievances" also on CD. His take on religion is priceless.

I was a server. The place was like a casino showroom. He came down and had last call with the staff after the shows. He was just getting over/going through his cancer treatment. Great guy.

Before he passed away, he was asked who he liked to watch in stand up. His answer delighted me. He said, "Lewis Black. He's got brains, brawn and balls."

I love Lewis. I have all of the DVDs and CDs he's put out. Whenever I get down, I just pop one in and sit back and laugh until I feel better. Lately, I have been listening to Lewis A LOT, as well as all my Carlin collection.

force the issue.

If Mormons believe in spilling blood to atone for murder, I wonder what they think is appropriate for rape? Oh, wait, they are patriarchal. They probably have financial rewards for rape.

Ever since Mitt RMoney's speech about the 47% secretly taped by a hidden phone - actually well before that, the PTB have thought about controlling those images and their dissemination. Just like the Royals tried to do to pamphleteers.
