A big giant WHOOSH right over his head.

Women are explaining how being alone in a room with a man who thinks it is appropriate to talk about her sexuality and a man thinks he can make it all better by getting alone with her and talking about it.

Exactly. It’s amazing she didn’t say f- off right then and there. She gave way more respect than the church deserved to get in that moment.

I think that, generally, casual listeners will be attuned to the ridiculousness of his response.

I will give the church this point...at least they are consistent. They will never under any circumstances admit to having made any mistakes even when obvious mistakes have been made. A$$ Holes

Rational Faiths is producing a response to this TAL episode and the subject of bishops' interviews. In fact they are inviting submissions of personal experiences:

It's not surprising the church never apologizes. Hawkins is just doing his job. Admitting mistakes lessens the fake authority it has over its dupes and it cannot risk that. More would realize the con after an admission and tithing revenues would drop. Sure, its leaders will reluctantly admit that mistakes might have been made in the past, but ask where "mistakes of men" are occurring today and the Mo's will go silent, doing the fallibilty/infallibility two step.
