To Patrick Kearon, I would like to speak directly to you. The church fails to protect children and chooses to inflict additional trauma on survivors. Have you read their stories? Members hope you are the leader they’ve been waiting for. I hope so too. Weeping isn’t enough.
tiff2.0 Patrick Kearon I didn't need weeping. I needed them to help get me, my mom, and siblings away from my abusive father. I needed therapy and resources. I needed to know that my physical and mental safety was more important than my dad's milquetoast "repentance process." Thank you for speaking up!
Imagine if all the members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints were saying we will love, support and sustain you to Jennie this weekend. And to the many members and former members like her 💔
tiff2.0 JLCool 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🇺🇦 Patrick Kearon I’m sorry this happened to both of you. Patrick, please look at over 600 instances of sex crimes allegedly perpetrated by active Latter-day Saints: FLOODLIT.org In most of these instances, there was a criminal conviction. Listen to victims, survivors. #LightTheWorld
One of the best things about leaving The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints: I don’t have to be careful about showing too much love and empathy. It’s too often the church that “has been unkind, in many instances crushingly cruel.” Sacrilege to use that pretty scene on an ugly musket fire quote.
Three years out and I’m still surprised how little The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints cares.
