After reading Parated2k's blogs and coming to know San Chonino (we will by pass the translation. ), I have learned great respect for the Mormons, or the Church of Latter Day Saints. And those are not all the ones I know, and indeed I respect them all! Even the few that have knocked on my door (a pleasant people that do not harrangue me like the JWs!).
But I do not respect Jeffs! And somehow, maybe, I may not be disrespecting my Mormon friends. I welcome corrections. But this guy was just predatory. It had nothing to do with his religion, but just with control.
And in that they are deviant. And in that, no I do not respect them. I respect the holders of that religion who are making sure that the spirit of the founder is held like a torch for all to follow (and BTW, most of the ones I know first hand are converts, not born to it).
Deviants destroy what they hope to promote. Do you really want to be a Jeffs?
Or a real person?
Deviants want us to believe they are normal, and in the end they just pervert the message. Right now, the LDS (Mormons) are going through a lot of that. And I for one Hope they nip this in the bud.
I dont want to see it, or let it expand. But that is just me.
Jeffs is not a saviour. He is a pedophile. And I am sorry for those who thought differently.
