Asking a rape victim about the color of their underwear is definitely all about the power of repentance... Definitely shouldn't stop untrained bishops from having the power to ask such healing questions. facepalm This is a video of Sam Young’s commentary on the questions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVCTrkxYAyw

Sam Young and ProtectLDSChildren

Brief video overview of the Protect LDS Children movement and Sam Young's drive to make substantive change to LDS Church policy.

Sam Young is on hunger strike just outside of temple square as part of the #HungerStrikeAndSpotlight campaign. The Spotlight part of the campaign involves Sam sending an invitation to an apostle each night of the campaign to come and have a temple side chat about the abuse that people have received as a result of bad church policy surrounding worthiness interviews. So far, no apostle has come to talk to Sam or to the abuse survivors who would like to talk to the apostles about the policies. Sam will end his hunger strike on one of three conditions: 1. Substantive change to church policy (i.e. the church specifically states in policy that bishops cannot ask sexually explicit questions) 2.Ten sitting Bishops announce public support 3. His wife tells him to stop I think the hunger strike is extreme because sadly, I think it's more likely that he will starve than that the Mormon church leadership will allow good policy suggestions to come from "the outside"... Good luck, Sam. I hope your wife tells you to stop soon. If the leaders won't change in the face of the pain of thousands of children and adults, why would they change because of your hunger pains?

Father Asks Mormon Missionaries About Interviews and Background Checks

How would Mormon Missionaries respond if a concerned father who was interested in the church but unsure of the Bishop interviews about sex asked them direct ...

Parents should be concerned about the interviews. This interaction between a father asking about the policies of Mormonism and the missionaries who don’t have good answers for him is disturbing. The main question he is concerned about is whether or not there is a background check done on bishops. There is not. Also, since when was menstruating the same thing as masturbating?? Oh, Mormonism...
