            I'm working on my axe right now! I probably need to get some material from a Mormon Stories Podcast or ex-mo reddit first though. I think the podcast will probably be a minimum of 8 hours long, so it will be awhile before I can post.

            By the way, with the interest that I have in the Hildebrandt stuff, I finally, for the first time, attempted to listen to a Mormon Stories podcast with the interview of Jessi Hildebrandt. I obviously couldn't finish it. My takeaway from listening to part of it is that John Dehlin is horrifically bad at interviewing people and in desperate need of an editor. Good hell, how do people waste there time with that shit?

              I have several facebook friends (and a cousin) who are friends with his wife. Really, really sad.

              Abuse from 2004-2013. Seems plausible that it's one of his children. Sickening.

                More details about Kevin Franke's circumstances. Another interview with his attorney.

                  Also, with Jodi Hildebrandt and Ballard it hasn't been a great coupe of weeks for LDS adjacent grifters either.

                    It's sad that this thread keeps on growing with stuff like this. Do you think the numbers are pretty equal with the general population or does this happen more to church members because of the emphasis on eternal marriage and families and if it goes wrong here they don't see any hope.

                      That, and they are mentally ill. I would be willing to bet that it has more to do with the mentally ill part, than the membership in the church part. Although, church culture can wreak havoc on a mind that is already compromised. IMO

                        A thread like this growing on a small random chat board is evidence of absolutely nothing.

                          My guess is we would see a similar growing list of domestic abuse/murders for every arbitrary group you could think of involving adult men.

                            Without the numbers, it's impossible to say. I do think it's so antithetical to how I view Mormons that it leaves a definite impression that may not be there for a Catholic dad who murders his wife/kids.

                              I tend to agree. If the guy were Methodist, his wife would probably still be dead today.

                                The crazy that had always been present but largely ignorable in certain corners of just about every ward in the church was released like curses from Pandora's box with Covid and the 2020 election. I can't prove that Mormons lead the league in batshit apocalyptic schemes, but it sure feels that way.
