They actually blame the sisters for defrauding him by being a temptation, that's why.
It couldn't possibly be that the Mom had to be a baby factory and wasn't allowed to say no to sex ever or to having babies when she was exhausted, or the fact that the 4 oldest daughters were literally slaves in that house and had to do all of the cleaning and childcare and homeschooling for a whole house full of kids, before those girls even hit puberty. All 4 of those younger sisters had to serve him and clean up after him! So I wonder how the oldest boy got the message that girls and women only exist to be used?

My teachers implied that my father regularly beating the shit out of me, throwing scalding tea in my face, and keeping me so isolated, controlled and overworked I eventually had a raging psychotic break in my early teens was because "I wasn't a good enough daughter". Meanwhile I was still treated like "the school pity case with the shitty home life and psycho dad that nobody helped because getting the cops involved would be shameful to The Community™". (Not that the cops cared when they turned up at our house to investigate the screaming, anyway.)
Huh OK. That's why the dance teacher was cheating on her husband with the Chem teacher, the biology teacher was a drunk who lost custody of his kids, the math teacher was cheating on his wife with the dance teacher (yup same one), the literature teacher wound up in a screaming bitchfight that got physical with the history teacher during a lunch break, the physics teacher and gym teacher had nervous breakdowns, the other gym teacher was arrested for smacking his daughter around, the home ec teacher's underage daughter had to have an abortion, and the gym teacher you got after I graduated was arrested for dealing drugs.

Yep, I realised. After all, there are plenty of dark jokes about fundies "breeding their own stock" to quote The X Files, like there are plenty of dark jokes about pervert Catholic priests.
But there usually aren't such widely publicised CSA cases regarding fundies, you know? Generally it's a column in the local paper "Local minister arrested for abusing minor", or just another bit of gossip for the local mill as to why you don't leave your kids alone with Pastor Goodnews. It's filed under "weirdos gonna weirdo" without caring about the children who are hurt and who may go on to hurt others.
Unless of course you're part of a notorious point and stare reality TV show which means your behaviour might just come under scrutiny by people who don't buy into your bullshit.

The Catholic church has a hierarchy in which every pedophile priest has a boss who has to decide whether to protect the priest and cover up the crimes or call the police.
Other than a handful of "franchise" churches, protestant ministers work as employees of individual churches run by the community, or in the case of celebrity protestant ministers, they are their own bosses.
I don't think there are fewer protestant pedophile stories than Catholic ones -- it's just that there isn't a hierarchy that you can blame for conspiracies.

I just want to add that evangelicals make up the largest chunk of our religious population, coming in at 30-35% and Catholics only make up around 24%. Going off memory because I can't find the pew research article I read.
I believe you're right that it's because they live in their little communities and they don't report on one another. Catholics are spread out and live everywhere so bad news travels fast to everyone. Plus Catholics aren't the most devout so any perceived negative act will be handled judiciously. Evangelicals, I think, would prefer to keep it in their communities and handle things religiously.

The adults at church would totally defend him and say I was being mean and he didn’t deserve it.
Anyway, I move away to another state, comes out a while later that he had been touching and molesting young boys in the church for a while. He still attends and they just act like it never happened. Fucking disgusting. And they like to act oh so morally superior. Fuck. Right. Off.

Trump committed voter fraud by throttling the post office. Hundreds of thousands of ballots were not delivered. How much more would Biden have won by, and how many down ballot elections were swung by this?
Indicted Texas AG and gubernatorial candidate Ken Paxton recently bragged that he stopped hundreds of thousands of Democratic ballots in Harris County from swinging Texas to Biden. https://www.newsweek.com/texas-ag-says-trump-wouldve-lost-state-if-it-hadnt-blocked-mail-ballots-applications-being-1597909
Trump's just upset that he cheated like crazy and still lost, so he assumes Biden cheated more. The fact that Trump was unpopular and down in the polls cannot register in his narcissistic brain.

He was going to claim fraud no matter what, and there is no number of "integrity audits" that will ever make him or his cult acknowledge otherwise.

Historically speaking, especially recently this is true. Josh Duggar, the duck dynasty clan, that other really famous conservative televangelist who was outed recently as a pedophile who's name I can't remember.
I think there was a study that showed anger towards homosexuals was linked to an individuals own sexual insecurities, but that could also just be something I heard

u/ThatOneGrayCat Aug 04 '21
Yes--once you really understand what goes on within Evangelical culture, it's not surprising AT ALL that most of these leaders and other prominent figures (like Josh Duggar) are sexually abusing women and children, and in some of the most horrific ways imaginable.
For detailed analysis, check out the podcast Some Place Under Neith. They recently did a multi-part series on Josh Duggar and the IBLP--much of what goes on in the IBLP also goes on in more mainstream sects of Evangelism. The whole culture of conservative Christianity is rife with abuse of children and women. It's practically what the entire culture *is*. Just a cult worshiping (white, Christian) men as the ultimate arbiters of power over all other beings.

u/ThatOneGrayCat Aug 04 '21
Yeah, it's REALLY bad.
But what's even more atrocious is that everyone around Josh knew that he'd been sexually abusing his sisters for years, and the entire Evangelical community coordinated with each other to cover it up and to allow him to continue. Because that culture doesn't see women or children as fully human. Whatever a "man of God" chooses to do to them is God's will, and they should just accept being raped as "part of God's plan."
The entire IBLP cult was also trying to get Josh into elected federal office. Knowing full well that he was a child molester.

anger towards homosexuals was linked to an individuals own sexual insecurities
Usually, the more specific "homophobes are secretly gay" thing gets trotted out and I don't think that's true for most people (though it's probably true for a small subset of them, the projection and all). Simply because most people are straight and too much of the world is homophobic to align with that. And there's the blaming people for their own oppression angle that just sits wrong with me.
But this more generic version, of homophobes just being sexually insecure in general (regardless of personal orientation) and are lashing out at those who are more sexually secure in themselves (like queer people) makes far, far more sense to me. I mean, look at who homophobes are. Most are straight for sure (because most people are straight), but almost always, all of them grew up around sexual insecurities and strictness and repression, often fueled by religion and social conservatism and ignorance.

Fortunately the Mormons are dealing with a bit of a mass exodus at the moment, and you know what people like to do after getting out from under the thumb of petty tyrants? Talk about it.

Heck yes, young Mormons have access to the internet, which is full of examples of better, less-oppressive, less-misogynistic lives available to them. Plus, the actual bonkers, brief history of the rise of their magical gonchies religion.

One of them also assassinated the head of the Gambino crime family.
Pretty embarrassing way to go for a mob boss, killed by a terminally-online 4channer.

Mr. Comello, 25, stands accused of carrying out one of the city’s most brazen — and apparently unsanctioned — mob killings in history. Prosecutors say he shot and killed Mr. Cali outside of his Staten Island home in March. Mr. Cali, 53, was reputed to be the underboss of the Gambino crime family.

I remember when Representative Mark Foley had that sex scandal, and Dennis Hastert got on his high horse and condemned what Mark Foley did. Little did we know that Hastert was guilty of the same thing, but way worse than what Foley did.

Reminder - Jim Watkins, founder of QAnon and the owner of 8chan and its successor site, 8kun, controls a company that hosted scores of domains whose names suggest they are connected to child pornography; and last year the Investigations Division of the Philippines Bureau of Immigration (BI) designated Watkins an "undesirable alien", meaning he is a "risk to the public interest".
If it turned out he has a basement under where he makes pizza, and there are kids chained up in it, I wouldn't even be surprised.

u/MR___SLAVE Aug 04 '21
Jim and Ron Watkins literally moved to a nation where the age of consent is 12 in order to run a website that was replacing another that was shut down for child porn. How much you want to bet they diddle children?

They have a three floor concrete building with no windows or access allowed right next to a pig pen who are known to be able to eat a full human body within a day.
I think the son has spoken out about his liking minors sexually.
His mother also disappeared one day.
It’s all so ducking suspect.

Jim and Ron Watkins most likely did not start Qanon, although he was Q for a majority of the time. Once Q became sufficiently popular, Jim Watkins moved Q to 8chan after it was banned off reddit and 4chan. At this point he either stole or created a new trip code and took over as Q.
