That’s crazy, that’s like a lot. How can you do that to kids?
There is no evidence in the article of any harm coming to kids. Yes there were process crimes, and defrauding government benefits. But the fact that people jump to harm to kids with no evidence is something I find sickening. Maybe it was reckless or negligent in that it could have potentially caused harm, but having caused harm to kids is such a serious accusation that it has to come with direct evidence. Considering through the whole article they couldn't find one example means that people are intentionally making accusations that will make him look more sinister when he argues against them.
It's such a serious accusation that you are almost seen as pure evil for arguing against the accusation once it is laid.
Comments I've seen about the recent LDS murders in Mexico are starting to make me think there is a campaign against Mormons. Likely because they are arguably the last remaining socially-viable and prosperous group of white folks in the US.
I'm leaning toward the fact that VOAT is overrun with QRV and GreataQwakenings protestants who have the anti-mormon hard on saying they don't believe in the true christ, yada yada while at the core they're have the same motivations and ethnicity. There used to be some Mormon apologists who would chime in every time this came up and truth be told all they ever do is go to work and build strong families. Confused protestant boom-booms hoping Trump is saving them whilst simultaneously estranged from their children are probably threatened by that at a deep level. Mormons still think there's nothing wrong with Jew banking and supporting israel so I'm not saying it's all sunshine and rainbows!
The anti-Mormon thing is not just on Voat. I've observed it all over the Internet and IRL when the topic of UT comes up. I've never felt informed enough about Mormon history to suggest folks expressing such opinions might want to be a bit less loose with their assertions.
One thing that does concern me is the connection with the MIC. I've heard it said that Mormons make great intelligence analysts because they do the work and rarely question what comes as a result. On the flip side of that one, I've worked in that space in the past and I stayed in that space for quite some time with the idea that it was strongly net-negative to society but I, as a good person, needed to be there to keep an eye on things in case they went really bad.
