The @Ch_JesusChrist Bishop who abused me was the same one that taught a Young Women’s lesson that equated sexually abused women to chewed up pieces of gum. #cojcolds #lds #mormon

#WhyIDidntReport the first time I talked to well-loved and trusted @LDSchurch church leader about being sexually harassed, I was told to “take it as a compliment.” I figured sexual abuse would be treated the same way.

#WhyIDidntReport because I thought it would keep me out of heaven.

(The quote may be from the 80s, but the GA sent this to me just last year.)
(The quote may be from the 80s, but the GA sent this to me just last year.)
Because the @Ch_JesusChrist told me that if I reported to the police, they would stop the church disciplinary process and I worried that would give the abuser more time and power to abuse church members.
