1879 House of GOD? Only the beginning. Those who you are TAUGHT TO TRUST the most…. Expect MANY MANY MANY similar reports to surface from around the world. IT GOES A LOT DEEPER. Connected. The choice to know will be yours. Q Mormon Leaders Accused Of Concealing Widespread Sexual Abuse And Incest Within The Church
Accusations surfaced against the Mormon Church leaders of concealing a widespread sexual abuse crisis, according to a report published by Daily Mail Sunday.
These alleged claims were brought to light by victims and backed by a report from Daily Mail. Among the revelations are accounts of young girls, subjected to terrible abuse, being urged to forgive their assailants and dissuaded from seeking police intervention. Victims allege a systemic issue, citing ‘rampant’ abuse and ‘extremely high rates of in879 cest’ within Mormon households.
Detailed investigations into court documents and interviews with former and current church members allegedly reveal a longstanding pattern of ecclesiastical leaders reportedly concealing crimes to preserve the church’s image. A recent court ruling in Arizona highlighted the church’s alleged use of spiritual confession as a shield against reporting abuse to law enforcement.
A victim named Nicole Snow came forward and claims that as a teenager, she was abused by Dr. David Farley. Farley is a respected Mormon ecclesiastical leader and physician and allegedly committed the abuse under the guise of medical treatment, Daily Mail reported. Despite over 200 women coming forward with similar accusations against Farley, the church has not excommunicated him or initiated disciplinary proceedings.
“He’s still around children gaining trust in the community. He’s a very dangerous man. We just want action from the church,” Snow said in a statement, per Daily Mail.
The Jones family also alleges that their three-year-old daughter’s sexual abuse by a fellow church member was not reported to authorities as mandated by state law. Their lawsuit accuses the Mormon Church of a widespread pattern of concealing child sexual abuse.
This culture of secrecy and protection of the institution at the expense of victims is not new, according to Kathleen Wallace, per Daily Mail. She claims her own childhood abuse was ignored by the church. Many victims, like Lindsay Lyman, believe this institutional inaction enables perpetrators to reoffend and leave those harmed without support or justice.

I owe Mormons a lot after I lost a house to hurricane damage.
Their volunteer work was invaluable with the cleanup effort. They were some of the nicest people I've ever met.
If this is true, I hope they are as angry about their leadership's abuse as I am.
I've many goodnfriends whonare Mormon, most don't practice because they've seen what ive seen. They generally have good family values amd are decent neighbors.
But this stuff gets covered up Nd proliferates.
There are many mormons that are good people and mean well. They simply worship a different Jesus. Pray for them.
This
The Mormons vaunted veil of secrecy must be cracking. Usually they’re better at suppressing inconvenient and or damaging information coming out about the church.
Will the JWs be busted soon too.
I hope so.
Not up to me though. If it was well. You’d likely have an article on the Jehovahs Witness to post alongside this.
There were some charges a while back, but it has been memory holed.
c'mon Scientology...
Oddly I've never haD a case of JW
Mormon leadership has been forced to acknowledge a lot of their shady history- thank you internet! www.lds.org
Anyone who digs into the origins of this church knows it was always about sex. Smith and Bring 'em Young were monsters. Go to exmormon.org to read original documents. There are many good people, but there is also an ugly underbelly.
Mormon I knew told me they go to temple and act out the marriage of people who died unmarried in the mormon church… so those poor souls can finally go to heaven. Their pastor/priest/whatever apparently has an endless list of names of the dead who have repented and want to marry in the church. So my F friend had to act out the part.
When you think about they kinds of people B Young and J Smith were, I’m sure consummation of thees proxy marriages was part of the ritual… and may still be.
Well I was baptized for the dead, like 30 times. They dunked me, iwent to the side of the pool and confirmed me. The names were supposed to come from members who were instructed to do their family's geneology. Several years back the church decided to baptize all the Jews who died in the holocaust. They were sued by the families.
As regards the wedding ceremony, there's not a consummation. But there is an anointing for both the men and the women that could have the elders and sisters performing the ceremony arrested for a sexual attack.
The vows are repeating the masonic pledge to have their throats slit and their innards eaten by birds if they ever told what happened in the temple. And I never heard it discussed. Then came the internet. I was beyond shocked.
I believe the throat slit was taken out of the ceremony in 1990? You know, the everlasting word of God that NEVER changes?
I would be a bit surprised if the common mormons were part of the consumation rites. That’s something for advanced, inner circle types. You know, the ones specially chosen by God to serve the Church. As I said, J Smith and B Young no doubt created this theater to have their way with women… like telling them it is not divorce or sinful to leave your current husband if you are “marrying up” in the Church.
No. These rites are for all Mormons married in the temple and for unmarried young people called on a mission.
They have even performed such temple ceremonies for the likes of Adolf Hitler.
And got yelled at by Jewsih folks they were doing dead baptisms for
I forgot that! And then there's the mountain meadow Massacre. The scape goat for the atrocity was senator Lee's direct ancestor.
Ask yourself this: when the mormons were driven out of several states- why did Joseph Smith's wife and children stay behind and leave Brigham Young? Why did they start their own version of mormonism? The eife of the Prophet said, Nah- fuckit- we will stay here and do just fine
Just got to LDS.ORG, and you can see the list of nearly 40 wives!!! IT'S ON THE MORMON'S OWN WEBSITE!
Mormons have "another" gospel. Gal_1:8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
AND:
Rev 22:18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
Two of my favorite verses when I left mormonism.
Good for you. I remember that "white salamander" scandal back in the '80s. LDS is not guided by God and that fraud was so easily able to embarrass the LDS leadership. Just like the Kinderhook Plates were so easily able to trick Joseph Smith himself.
I remember all that also. I did a lot of research when I left. That was half a lifetime ago when I was in my 30's.
Yes. The Tanners have been invaluable in preserving the original .documentation. their lives and property were threatened many times.
I know it well, or at least I used to back in the mid 80's when I left mormonism. Another good resource at the time was Walter Martin's book, 'Kingdom of the Cults'. Also 'The God Makers', don't recall the author. For some interesting insight to early mormon culture I recommend the "Hoth Diary". http://www.utlm.org/onlinebooks/hothdiary_part1.htm At the time my parents and I were leaving mormonism (dad being an ex bishop and friend of George Romney at one time) our german neighbor was cleaning out their attic and found a copy of this diary in an old trunk. I sent it to the Tanners and it is now on their web sight.
I left the church for doctrinal problems and became a christian. As a side note my family history was steeped in polygamy and I am a product of Brigham and one of his wives, Harriet Barney (#17, isn't that interesting, lol). Best to you. http://www.utlm.org/onlinebooks/hothdiary_part1.htm
Tough questions. Just about every LDS doctrine deviates from biblical christianity. They do worship a different Jesus. Their Jesus is the spirit brother of Lucifer, a created being. The bible teaches that in the beginning was the 'Word', and the 'Word' became flesh and dwelt among us. Christ is the fullness of deity in human flesh. They also believe in many gods, in other words their doctrine says 'as man is god once was, as god is man may become'. An infinite number of gods. Their concept is eternal progression, based on works. The bible teaches salvation is by grace. They claim Elohim (the father god of our planet earth) lives on a planet named Kolob, with many wives. They possess bodies of flesh and bone, but produce spirit babies which come to this earth to gain physical bodies. Their entire doctrine surrounds this concept of polygamy. Off track here, but let's boil it down to the basic theme of Christianity being a Monotheistic religion, and Mormonism is polytheistic one (many gods). Therefore mormonism is excluded on that basis from Biblical Christianity. It is therefore considered by biblical scholars as a non-christian cult.
It is difficult to break the programming of those young missionaries that come to your door. They will use christian language, but in their mind it has a different meaning than it does to a true christian. Most of their studies are in the B of M, and Doctrine and Covenants. To them the bible has errors if it deviates from their theology. Perhaps just let them know you have a great concern for their eternal well being, and let them know you will pray for them that they will come to know the real Jesus Christ of the Bible. It is the Holy Spirit that will draw them to truth. Perhaps they will spend more time in the Bible, than in the B of M. God Bless.
I know that gross feeling. I am a product of polygamy- my GGGrandfather hooked up with Brigham's crew shortly after arriving from Scotland- he was talked into polygamy. My heart was broken and i was gut-sick to read an essay by one of my GGGrandfathers first wife's decendant. I cannot fathom my husband taking on 8 more wives!
As a child i knew it was gross and wrong, even told my mom if polygamy came back i would divorce my husband--- I was 7
You left and now you're verboten.
Isn't that the truth.
You left in your 30's and it was based on theology. Good for you. I left when I was 21 and when I finally concluded that the gibberish and ceremony and hypocrisy, which was actually lauded, could not constitute the only great truth. It was actually the Civil rights movement and the church's blatant racism that administered the chink in my "testimony" and I was off to the races. Nothing added up. Nothing made sense. My view of the BoM is similar to Mark Twain's. It's badly written and the more literate parts came straight from the Bible. Then there's the timelines and the 30,000 who died in the battle around Palmyra NY where the land is totally bare of any traces. It is beyond stupid from the submarine to that final battle.
I got out still believing in God, but one who was a lot smarter and less petty than the mormon god. There are so many who left the church as atheists and with deep bitterness at how they were used. It's very sad, and I believe Joe and Brigham have a lot of lost souls to answer for.
Getting over the bitterness is difficult- esp when close family members are still in. I feel for my neices and nephews.
Yep. I am the forgotten one. I have an aunt who also figured it out in college. We were it for decades. There are now many, many more. The internet is destroying the church.
Yep, what I quoted!
Oh boy, I saw this when in LE out west. The church will send ten lawyers to try and stop a prosecution. They do not want the light of day on this. It's rampant and it's covered up by other pedo offenders who run the church. Kve has incest cases, between moms and sons, dads and sons and brothers. Usually found out when one ot the two committed suicide.
Keep Sweet, Pray and Obey on Netflix goes deep into this. It's disgusting.
The irony is that thr documentary calls the flds an off shoot. Nope, they follow the doctrines of the original church.
This has been known for decades. So how is this suddenly news?
As long as the truth is forgotten or suppressed, it needs to be brought back into the light. The time of apocalypse is the unveiling. It's time.
A cult is a cult is a cult. Window dressing is a facade.
I think you will find that there is NO religion or religious persuasion that is free of the scourge of infidelity, sexual abuse and incest.
The 'cult' label is so easily thrown around. Did you realize that (most likely) the Deep State weaponized the concept of 'cult' in the 1970s in order to deter religious reform and control the establishment?
Is it a coincidence that the Great Awakening is slapped with the "Q Cult" label, or MAGA is referred to as a 'cult' by rabid neo-Marxists?
Labeling something as a cult is more often than not a convenient way to ignore deeper issues. I know this idea steps on some people's religious toes, but the research supports the view.
I am a Proud Member of the Qanon 'Cult' (repost)
True that people are the common denominator, but this is about the coverup.
Yes, indeed.
It doesn't take 'a cult' to effect a cover-up. It just takes corruption, in the various forms it assumes.
And I thought Alabama was the stereotypical incest hub,
and it turns out the Mormons were the real incest committers.
What's up with that?
Last week it was the Jehovas witnesses the week before Catholics
There are perverts everywhere and all organizations act about the same when it comes to this.
That doesnt make it right or acceptable
What in actual hell...
... Might be time to rethink my username.
MAGAGOGLO13 maybe
Why ain’t this guy arrested? 300 victims? Something isn’t adding up.
If you are a parent and your child is abused you go to the police not to the Bishop.
The 3 year old is not confessing to the Bishop
Any one of those parents could have called the police.
This is more of a smear job than actual journalism
The problem is, often times the police are mormons too-- happened in my neck of the woods. Mormons are a very tight bunch-- when growing up, our pediatrician, dentist, eye doctor-- ALL MORMON. Lot's of Mormon cops too...this is what leads to people suffering in silence
It isn’t pure garbage. This is well known behavior within their “church” and a huge part of the reason that the vast majority of my extended family members that were a part of the LDS have now left it.
Once the internet era came on, the church has had one hellofa time keeping their secrets secret...
The Mormon church is the most anti-sex organization on the face of the earth. Missionaries aren't allowed to have any kind of sexual release during the whole two years they're on their mission; baring nocturnal secretions while they're asleep. Try doing that when you're 19 years old. All the minor aged closed door Sunday school classes must have at least two adults present at all times; preferably three. Female missionaries are not aloud to enter a house where a male is present unless being accompanied by another male church member. It goes on and on and on the regulations the church has. That Daily Mail rag should be banned from GAW.
Thats why 8byr old kids are asked about masturbation in Bishop's interviews? Thats why females in Mormonism are told their virginity is more precious than their life? That females should cover their shoulders, so boys dont get turned on? The bishop asked my parents about ORAL FUCKING SEX!!!!! NO, mormons are NOT ANTI SEX- they just say that out loud. They are about controlling EVERY aspect of your life and then making you feel like unworthy shit when you do a human thing- One of my bishops (married 6 kids) fucked a congregation member (married 4 kids) for months- when discovered, two families destroyed- but thats ok!! He repented and was able to marry his new squeeze IN THE TEMPLE. was raised in that religion, escaped 8 yrs ago for good- still have diehard Mormon family members that I grieve for in silence
I never said the Mormon church is perfect. What I said is that they are not pedophiles and they are not performing ritualistic human sacrifices in the temple like that stupid dumbass Daily Mail in the UK is trying to make people believe.
Jesus's dad also created the Natural Man; which makes him find women sexually attractive. If it wasn't for the Natural Man, men would not be interested in having sex at all; which would mean no population increase other than Adam and Eve being placed on the Earth at the beginning. We're not supposed to be lustful, but we were created to be just that.
