LDS sexual abuse coverup survivor. Writer. Fan of empathy, common sense, & deep/ridiculous conversations. Let's hold churches accountable for harm & abuse/coverups. #ExMormon #churchtoohttps://bsky.app/profile/jennnextdoor.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/jennnextdoor.bsky.social/post/3ll57wp7nec22Threaten the LDS Church w/ losing lawsuits, & they'll do almost anything, even background checks! (New UT law) LDS Church says they "supported this law" & "does EVERYTHING they can to prevent abuse". So, why do they implement background checks only where & when they're legally required? 🤔24 Mar 2025 16:55 +0000at://did:plc:o7adyuu4h7vsq6uxt65e6otw/app.bsky.feed.post/3ll57wp7nec22https://bsky.app/profile/jennnextdoor.bsky.social/post/3liklmgr44c22LDS Members say, "We have less abuse than any other religion!"...so they can excuse & not care about LDS abuse. This is what "less abuse" looks like in just the last 2 months, based on PUBLIC reports. (Most abuse is never made public.) This is where they willingly bring their kids. floodlit.org19 Feb 2025 20:13 +0000at://did:plc:o7adyuu4h7vsq6uxt65e6otw/app.bsky.feed.post/3liklmgr44c22https://bsky.app/profile/jennnextdoor.bsky.social/post/3lhejkqt3dc2dEach time an LDS Bishop is charged w/ sex crimes, LDS Church Leadership must think: "Should we protect LDS kids going forward?🤔 Nah... let's tell kids that Bishops are called-of-God & normalize sex questions from adult men & keep putting kids in danger. Too bad so sad for the victims though!"04 Feb 2025 16:55 +0000at://did:plc:o7adyuu4h7vsq6uxt65e6otw/app.bsky.feed.post/3lhejkqt3dc2dhttps://bsky.app/profile/jennnextdoor.bsky.social/post/3lfi57tgc5c2g“You’d never hear abt adult men marrying children in another church & think, “Hmmmm… maybe there’s a good reason for that!” It seems Mormon God wants LDS members to justify activity that looks exactly like abuse.11 Jan 2025 16:35 +0000at://did:plc:o7adyuu4h7vsq6uxt65e6otw/app.bsky.feed.post/3lfi57tgc5c2ghttps://bsky.app/profile/jennnextdoor.bsky.social/post/3lf3tz6lfqc23The LDS Church claims God knows each person & HE chooses LDS callings. Sorry... God would NOT choose predator Bishops & leaders who are capable of sexually abusing ward kids. The LDS Church uses God's name in vain claiming callings are by God. It gives predators undue trust & puts kids in danger.06 Jan 2025 19:18 +0000at://did:plc:o7adyuu4h7vsq6uxt65e6otw/app.bsky.feed.post/3lf3tz6lfqc23https://bsky.app/profile/jennnextdoor.bsky.social/post/3ld7qkfpljk2rHmmm. LDS Mission ldr, temple prep tchr, & works w/ 14-17 yo’s at church…charged w/ child sex crimes. That’s a whole lot of failed discernment. If the LDS church wants to claim discernment, then they shld be held accountable for giving pedos trust & asserting they’re “worthy”, which enables abuse.13 Dec 2024 21:36 +0000at://did:plc:o7adyuu4h7vsq6uxt65e6otw/app.bsky.feed.post/3ld7qkfpljk2rhttps://bsky.app/profile/jennnextdoor.bsky.social/post/3lcvnmrhoxk25It haunts me how many "good" ppl in my LDS ward covered up CSA by a serial pedophile. Why'd they do it? -Church leaders told them to keep quiet -Protect church rep & avoid scandal -Fear the stigma of "making waves" They probably feel good abt their actions, but they were actually complicit in CSA.09 Dec 2024 21:17 +0000at://did:plc:o7adyuu4h7vsq6uxt65e6otw/app.bsky.feed.post/3lcvnmrhoxk25https://bsky.app/profile/jennnextdoor.bsky.social/post/3lcj7ptajxk25LDS Church responds to a 6-part series on LDS sexual abuse mishandling... w/ condescension & inviting the journalist to: -go to church -ask mmbrs abt their joy -watch GenCon -read the BOM "Don't point out how we destroy abuse victims when indoctrination'll make you forget abt that!"04 Dec 2024 22:37 +0000at://did:plc:o7adyuu4h7vsq6uxt65e6otw/app.bsky.feed.post/3lcj7ptajxk25https://bsky.app/profile/jennnextdoor.bsky.social/post/3lcgprpbljc2cHeaven's Helpline Ep5 is 10/10, so well-done.
