Dear Bishops, this could happen to you!

GavelToday, a lawsuit was filed accusing President Russell M. Nelson’s daughter and son-in-law of child sex abuse.  The alleged abuse occurred 32 years ago.

I don’t have an opinion on whether or not the allegations are true.  What I know is that the charges have been made in full public view.  The defense will be grueling and expensive.   No matter what, reputations will be tarnished.  If a verdict is rendered in favor of the plaintiffs, reputations will be destroyed.

You can read about the suit in the Deseret News, the Salt Lake Tribune or watch it on Fox News.  The actual lawsuit filing can be found HERE.

So bishops, what does this have to do with you?  We are in a different era than in 1986.  Back then, no cell phones (mini-recorders), little concern with adults alone with children, no #metoo movement, certainly no #mormonmetoo movement.

All that has changed.  If someone accuses you of abuse of any kind while you were behind that closed door, all alone with a child & talking about sex, YOU WILL HAVE NO DEFENSE.  Our society doesn’t have sympathy for an adult who should have known better.  They will sympathize with the child every time.

Can you afford to lose your reputation?

Can you afford to defend against a criminal charge?

A stake in my home town of Houston recently instructed its bishops:  “Conduct every interview under the assumption that you are being recorded.”  Wise counsel.

Better counsel:  No one-on-one interviews, no sexual questions ever.

Day 16

This will be day 16 of our Hunger Strike and Spotlight action.  I’m still going pretty strong and should be able to continue my fast until the 12th.  The spotlight that ya’ll have been shining is yielding amazing results.  This Sunday will provide another prime opportunity to Spotlight.

Media….or the Prophet?

Of course, my first choice is that President Nelson come.  His presence would be a win-win for everyone.  The victims and survivors would find huge solace and validation.  President Nelson would be lauded as a hero as he emulates Christ’s great example.

In the event he fails to show, we will rely on media to help spread awareness far and wide.  We anticipate that 2 things will draw our media friends.  1) 16 days.  2) A crowd.  That’s where you come in.  We need people!!!

1,000 of you came to the march.  It was magical.  This event will be magical too.  We just need you to come.  I’m sacrificing food and I’m asking that you sacrifice some time.

DO NOT BE DETERRED by the size of the venue.  Today, once the owners understood our cause, they gracious expanded the capacity by several hundred.  Several video monitors will be set up so the live feed can be viewed at all locations in the facility.

There is an emergency brewing all across the land behind bishop’s closed doors.  So far, the apostles have not sensed the urgency.  On the other hand, the dire situation of our children has caused all of US to jump to action.  Now, it’s time for us to gather again.

We just need people, lot’s of good people.  Please come.  Don’t miss it.  Be a part of making Mormon history.
