Paperdolls - Healing From Sexual Abuse in Mormon Neighborhoods Paperback – January 1, 1992

Graphic and shocking, this is the story every member of the church (and state of Utah) MUST read. Of huge consequence there has never been church involvement in any of these cases spoken of.Otherwise, we will never be the “Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas” as described by Ayn Rand.

Excellent, gripping very sad as well. Shows how those in power hide secrets, which will one day damn them for their own inactions.

It was very revealing about sexual abuse within the Mormon Church and Mormon Neighborhoods.I just feel it was very explicit, maybe too explicit.

Everything was great.

great

Very informative, in great detail, but exceedingly shocking, revolting and sickening.However, it is truth and the abuse needs to be stopped in any way possible!

I've lived in Utah for most of my life and you have to put together the pieces of evidence that "All is NOT Well in Zion" contrary to what Prophet (Profit) Hinckley told the members in General Conference in 1996. He said the infamous words of "All is well in Zion" which fulfills LDS scriptural warnings found in 2 Nephi 28 about the blindly obedient being led astray by one (a false prophet DC 64:38-40) who will say "all is well in Zion." Later edited out of his talk written up in the Ensign!The neighborhood sex rings mentioned in these two prominent neighborhoods along the Wasatch Front in Utah have also been confirmed in Cedar City, Lehi, and many, many other neighborhoods in Utah. A friend's young son was sodomized and traumatized in a neighborhood sex ring in Cedar City, UT eerily similar to what is described in this book. The publically disclosed official "Interoffice Memo" written by Presiding Bishop Glen L. Pace documents the FACTUAL existence of and confirmed satanic ritual abuse of over sixty individuals (mostly abused children) who all stated the same thing despite their widely dispersed locations -- that they were abused by church leaders and threatened if they told much as described in this truthful expose of sex abuse in Mormon neighborhoods.The leader of one of the sex rings in the Boutiful neighborhood (exact neighborhood location not mentioned in the book but I am a friend of one of the abused girls) was the "apostle's daughter" with her "husband involved in banking". This would have been Kathleen Hinckley and Alan Barnes of Barnes banking.Interestingly, it was Alan Barnes who confessed to the FBI regarding his writing out the bribery check for the Olympic Committe in the Salt Lake Olympic Committee corruption that made national news. An excellent news article on Barne's confession to the FBI was written in the Salt Lake Tribune entitled "The Silent Witness" since Alan Barnes conveniently died shortly after his confession to the FBI. It would have been horribly embarrassing for Hinckley's pubic image for Alan Barnes to have had to reiterate his confession during the famous Salt Lake City, Utah Olympic trial since his father-in-law was the Prophet, Gordon B. Hinckley, at that time.I am a mormon who knows the scriptures regardin the need for the Lord's House to be cleansed. I honor the Book of Mormon which gains support from artifacts carbon-dated that match the time line existence of ancient Americans found in the Book of Mormon from the "Hopewell Culture" and other archeological findings in Ohio, Illinois, Missouri, New York, etc. as also carbon-dated by the Smithsonian. The Book of Mormon is a great witness of the "other sheep" that Christ visited (John 10:16), BUT the LDS church needs to get cleaned up and this book, Paperdolls is an excellent expose that All is NOT well in Zion!Read: Tranceformation in America (MKUltra in the Mormon Church pg 118-119), research why LDS Judge Bybee endorses torture, The 19th Wife by Ann Eliza Young from 1876, Tubal Cain (and LDS secret Temple oaths)

This is reality where it needs most to be seen. Only a righteous Mormon can rape children and threaten to tell everyone they drank coffee, they had been made to drink, if they tell. Religon is the sheep's skin that hands pedophiles their prey. The ultimate hypocracy. The elephant under the rug. The Emperor's new cloths. It could never happen in a Mormon neighborhood because Jesus wouldn't allow it. It's the Lord's Church. The "good" ol' boy's club. This is an excruciatingly honest depiction of humanity at it's worst, and bravery and honisty at it's best. Good and evil can not be determined by appearances, or positions of trust. The process of facing and healing from childhood sexual abuse is as honest and real as it gets. Read it,and don't let it happen again.
