provoman Posted March 31, 2018 Posted March 31, 2018 (edited) S.O indicate someone shouted out just before or during sustainings. Reddit forum reports what the statement was. Edited March 31, 2018 by provoman
CMZ Posted March 31, 2018 Posted March 31, 2018 (edited) Couldn't totally make it out. Were they accusing someone who had just gotten a new calling of being a sexual predator? Or was it about the Joseph Bishop guy? Edited March 31, 2018 by CMZ
CMZ Posted March 31, 2018 Posted March 31, 2018 Not sure how people don't understand that there is a proper way to address these concerns. In fact they constantly repeat it in conference. 2
why me Posted March 31, 2018 Posted March 31, 2018 I wouldn't call it a protest. More like a shout out a sentence.

Reddit forum reports what the statement was. I think it was "Stop protecting sexual predators" (but others are saying that they heard Bishop's name, so I'm not sure). It was pretty audible and stated 3 times before they cut the mic, from what I could tell. Edited March 31, 2018 by ALarson 1

Was Joseph Bishop ever formally disciplined or held accountable? (I imagine he will be now, but that's up to his leaders of course.) I know many will also differentiate between protecting him vs. not disciplining him or holding a church court for him. Edited March 31, 2018 by ALarson
Danzo Posted March 31, 2018 Posted March 31, 2018 Hope whoever did it feels better now. They can go home in peace knowing they made the world a better place. 2
CA Steve Posted March 31, 2018 Posted March 31, 2018 By the way, if you think the disruption was wrong or even in bad form, the fact you are talking about it only furthers the goal of the person who disrupted. 4

But I wasn't there and have no way of knowing that for sure. Maybe someone who knows more can post (?)

I disagree, talking about it on the internet is going to make a great deal of difference. The more it is mentioned, the more people will be exposed to what was said. For example, if no one else responds to this thread, those that do not log into the forum today are unlikely to read the thread. By the way, I am fine with talking about it. I have even stated elsewhere I would like to think I would say "Nay" if I were able to attend conference and a sustaining vote came up. I think the shouting about Bishop is uncalled for. But really, in this age of snapchat, tweet, facebook and so on, talking about stuff makes a whole lot of difference.
Storm Rider Posted March 31, 2018 Posted March 31, 2018 (edited) Never something I would do under any condition. Maybe I am just shy; maybe my folks just raised me to never act in such a manner. Regardless, I am grateful it was not me nor anyone related to my family. Let's move on. Bad behavior should just be forgotten and ignored. Edited April 1, 2018 by Storm Rider 1

Unwelcome shouting out during a sacred convocation for any reason is always inappropriate, boorish and disrespectful. Edited March 31, 2018 by Scott Lloyd 10

That is sort of the point of descent. Hopefully I would be sitting near some local new reporter who felt offended enough to give my poor behavior the write up it deserved. 1
JLHPROF Posted March 31, 2018 Posted March 31, 2018 I'm just grateful it was during second session and not during the solemn assembly. A disruption during that would have been just plain wrong. 3
