6EQUJ5 Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 Dear Sister Kelly, You recently, and reluctantly, asked your thousands of sycophants to give you money to buy an 11" MacBook Air. A much more affordable Windows laptop, or even a Chromebook simply would not do! You are a high-flying human rights lawyer and you can only work with the best. http://www.kutv.com/news/features/local-news/stories/Kate-Kelly-creates-GoFundMe-for-personal-laptop-118959.shtml#.VT8Jza1VhHw I should also point out that you recently referred to LDS Church leaders as "counterfeit Christians." Anyway, I've got a few questions. 1. Do you have a credit card? 2. Who paid for your recent trip to Manhattan? http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/04/27/kate-kelly-excommunication-happier_n_7152174.html?ncid=txtlnkusaolp00000592 3. Will you provide full financial disclosure of your MacBook purchase? You have made yourself a public charity and so I think it is only fair to request a little transparecy I wonder if you are a counterfeit Feminist who uses her fame not only to boost your ego, but also your pocketbook. I'm very happy that you are now free to be your "authentic self." There is now no question as to what your true colors really are. Q
sunstoned Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 She said the money would be used to buy a computer. That is about the same level of transparency as the church practices. 3
Popular Post why me Posted April 28, 2015 Popular Post Posted April 28, 2015 She said the money would be used to buy a computer. That is about the same level of transparency as the church practices.Not quite. If this is true about kate asking for money to buy a computer and she is a human rights lawyer and most likely has a paycheck, I would probably be thinking that she is laughing all the way to the Mac store. It did take some hutspah to request money. But even worse, it takes ignorance for people to actually send her money for the high costing computer. Also, the church is a collective organization....kate is an individual who wishes money for a personal buy. There is a difference. 7
Calm Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 (edited) Correction...she is a human rights lawyer And over in Kenya not because of her work, but because her husband is pursuing grad work....correction...she has a job there as well....and one that looks like it may be a good salary.http://legalactionworldwide.org/legal-advisor/(source...my less than stellar memory)Iirc she claimed she had enough money to replace a laptop that was losing it but had to spend it on an emergency flight home (father's health issue iirc).Remove wrong speculationThe flight to New York looked like she was getting interviewed for a documentary, i would assume the documentary people paid for it. If Kate did because it was the only way they would put her in the docu, that would be major taking advantage of friends. She should have asked for enough to cover the laptop and done the interview long distance. Or ask some of her friends if they wereabout to upgrade and if she could have a handmedown. Then her friends could have contributed to getting some of Kate's neighbours clean food and water with that $1500 or so. Edited April 28, 2015 by calmoriah 1
Bernard Gui Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 The world is a very confusing place nowadays.
Scott Lloyd Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 In fairness to Miss Kelly, I don't see a great deal of qualitative difference between this and John Dehlin asking his dehlinions to fund his hobby. 3
Calm Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 (edited) If she uses it for her human right work and not activism against the church, her donations will be much more likely to ave positive impact on others who need help. Edited April 28, 2015 by calmoriah 1
Buckeye Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 Seriously, an open letter to Sister Kelly about her fundme campaign? I give a 0.01% chance that she responds. I would have said 0.0%, but now she has a laptop, so who knows. 2

I'm very happy that you are now free to be your "authentic self." There is now no question as to what your true colors really are. QWow. Hey, I don't agree with what Kate Kelly did here by asking for donations to buy a new computer, but at least she was honest about it. I have to give her that. She could have said it was for humanitarian aid, etc. I think her asking for money is embarrassing, but she had every right to ask for help and those who donated had every right to support her and send $. But it is odd. Odd that she asked and even more odd that people donated and bought her a new computer. 2

Tacenda Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 Maybe she was creating a thought experiment. Comparing it to the church asking us to tithe for such things as ad campaigns, malls, condo and apartment buildings, hunting trips, radio and newspaper stations...........

Comparing it to the church asking us to tithe for such things as ad campaigns, malls, condo and apartment buildings, hunting trips, radio and newspaper stations........... You'd have to first show that our tithes go to such things before your accusation is comparable. Then you'd have to show that being asked for money to buy a personal computer is similar to being asked for money to support the organization you personally are a part of and benefit from. 1

Skylla Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 Open letters should be posted on personal blogs. We have another thread here that discusses this subject. Skylla
