Tonight’s communique to my Stake President.

Dear President______,

I have an acquaintance with inside scoop about Church headquarters. A couple of months ago, he informed me that a Church security person and a public relations person had been assigned to keep watch on me.

My inside source also told me that orders would eventually be sent down to my stake president to ignore me. At the time, he speculated that you likely had already been told to shun me months ago.

All this, after a member of the church stalked my private Facebook conversations for months and reported them to you. Kind of weird that both the Church and its members have a need to stalk, spy and tattle. Doesn’t sound much like Christ to me.

I have now been told that you have received instructions regarding my “Letter to the Apostles.” The directive is to disregard me and my concerns. I don’t KNOW if it’s true. However, the source has been dead on in the past.

If you are ignoring me, don’t worry about it. You are in a difficult position between me, a mere mortal member, and the powerful Seventies. The issue I’m bringing to the fore is a headquarters matter anyway. Of course, I’d love to address it directly with them. That’s one of the reasons I’ve been so transparent about everything. So far, not a peep out of any of the ranks of leadership. Sounds like shunning orders have been issued.

I find it ironic that the Apostles say, “Don’t send letters to church headquarters. If you do, they will be sent back to your stake.” Then, when I send my letter to the stake, the General Authorities tell the stake to ignore it. Oh well….like always….I’ll just keep moving forward.

Here’s what I’m hoping about my stake president…Deep down in his good heart, he’s secretly rooting for my success in protecting the children.

All My Best,

Sam
