It seems coverage of settlement isn't as widespread as initial abuse story

  I remember when the Dateline special hit. I was a naiive ubm in waiting and the folks we were studying with made a special appointment with us to do damage control. Undoubtedly they were instructed to do so.

  Then at the next convention following the special, the speaker made this remarkeable comment, "Unlike the Catholic Church, we made it clear from the beginning that abuse of children is WRONG!!!" (THUNDEROUS APPLAUSE)

  My point is, that at this point, the coverage does not seem to rise to the level where the org feels they need to address it PUBLICLY within the org.

  I really hope that changes. They are hoping that they get by unnoticed on this one.

  BTW, do we at least have an unsubstantiated rumor as to the AMOUNT of the settlement?

  The moderaters may remove any comments on that line.

  The abuse case has not gone unnoticed. My stepson is now a Mormon and the abuse case has been a topic of discussion at his church for some time now. The Mormon's apparently haven't had anything good to say about the witnesses and this scandal is just more fuel for them to use in their ministry.
