Just wondering if anyone saw the program last night, about the Arias case. There was a speaker there for the Mormon Church, and he stated that he did not feel Jody was really into being a Mormon, and that she joined the church just to be closer to her b/f.
But, what got my attention was that he said that he and the Mormon Church are for the death penalty, and that they will see that she gets it.
He also mentioned that the judge overseeing the case before was tough on Jody, and that the one she is getting now is going to seek justice at all costs. It seems to me that the Mormon Church is the one trying this case.
The Mormon Church is obviously doing damage control. They don't want the media watching public to focus in on the fact that Travis was a Pedophile . Many pedophiles acquire access to children thru their church. Pedophiles digress from fantasizing to eventually acting out their compulsions.
I'm sure they don't want Jodi to get out of prison and write a book on what she knows about the Mormon Elders or even what she thinks about them.
Travis was seeking counseling from a Bishop. Apparently, that didn't help him much.

Jodi is the face of evil and as a parent it makes me sick of thinking how this guy's live ended and how his family has to sit and listen to how he is portrait by an evil person.
Travis came from a poor family with lots of issues and made a lot of the short life he lived and was well respected from what I hear. Even if he tried all of the sex things with Jodi that doesn't mean she has any excuse for her actions.
If this jury let her off the hook when it comes to the death sentence then I don't know what they have been listening too. I do understand that they can't listen to one more word out of her mouth.
When pedophiles get FINALLY get caught after RUINING the lives of multiple children, everyone, especially parents, scratch their head and ask "how could this happen, in OUR CHURCH of all places?!!", "where were the signs?", "why didn't anyone see the RED FLAGS?".....
There are several Red Flags here. Out of Travis's own words and Text messages(independent of Jodi's testimony/lies), he showed a predilection for pre-teens.
Pedophiles, IMHO, are considerably more evil than 2 consulting adults, who's sex and mind games got out of control.

The accusation of Travis being a pedo were disproven. There was nothing in his home or on his computer. On the day she says she walked in on him there is nothing in her journal about it. According to the text messages from that day and the following day, where she says they fought because of it and he broke her finger, the big deal of the day was her trying to exchange cars with him. Nothing is mentioned of either of those things in their messages....
You obviously have a problem with Mormons so that's on you.
I'm not a Mormon and I don't want Jodi out of jail. She purchased a bigger gun justs weeks after shooting and killing Travis. I guess she developed a taste for killing.
Excluding any testimony from Jodi, Travis's own voice was on that taped phone call expressing arousal on the fantasy of a 12 year old girl reaching climax...that is the markings of a Pedophile.
The texts entered into the trial as evidence clearly show sexual deviant characteristics, and fantasy perpetrating rape.. And, a picture shows Jodi wearing pigtails, a picture says a thousand words. Pedophilia and Rape, bad combo, although all too common.
I definitely have a problem with Pedophiles. And apparently, many religions are riddled with them.
In criminal psychology being diagnoses a sexual deviant isn't a judgement or stigma, it's a psycho-sexual disorder. And it's textbook.
Fact: All persons with psycho-sexual behaviors aren't Pedophiles, but all Pedophiles have psycho-sexual disorders.
Fact: If someone is a convicted felon, they cannot write a book to sell or release from prison. Perhaps this is added motivation to knock off Jodi or keep her in prison.
Fact: Instituted in 1843, the penalty for Mormon Elders for braking an oath was to agree to have " my throat be cut from ear to ear". It's called a "blood oath".

I don't personally know too many people (any) that don't have a problem with pedophiles. I'm guessing that the feeling you have for pedophiles is mirrored by the majority of people.
Are you aware that Jodi said she recorded that conversation at Travis' request but he never got a copy and could have freely recorded it himself had he wanted to? Are you aware that she testified that she liked every sexual encounter they had and that the things being discussed in the conversation were purely of a fantasy nature? Are you aware Travis was on tape saying he had never even pleasured himself until he met Jodi? Are you aware that fantasy and reality are two different things?
You say religions are riddled with pedophiles. I would counter that with many people that have behavioural problems try to cloak themselves in religion. I was married to someone that thought that as long as he told everyone he was a Seventh Day Adventist he would always be above reproach. Hiding under the wings of the church only speaks to the member, not the church. This is what Jodi was doing, IMO. Certainly not all pedophiles are linked to religion if that is what you are inferring.
Beyond all of that, are you insinuating that Jodi was justified in this heinous crime? Jodi is having her day in court. Travis is in the position of having to disprove a negative because he is no longer hear to speak. Jodi has had two years to concoct her third or fourth version of the events that transpired. Obviously, pedophilia would be about the worst thing someone could say about another person and that is why she's using it.
You notice in that conversation involving the 12 year old Jodi is using her typical childlike voice. He was actually accurate in his comment. He didn't say he wanted to have sex with a 12 year old, the context was of her playing dress up. I'm not sure that is an uncommon fantasy.

Oh for crying out loud... The Mormon Church is doing no such thing. This trial is of virtually no concern whatsoever to the Church. Do you honestly believe that the LDS Church is the slightest bit worried about what this woman could do to its reputation? Honestly, that is absolutely ridiculous.

If, in fact, Travis was a pedophile, it would have had absolutely nothing to do with the fact that he was also Mormon. There are pedophiles in every religion and there are pedophiles that have no religion at all.

What she knows about the Mormon elders? What on earth would that be anyway? Maybe I should write a book about what I know about the Mormon elders (which is considerably more than Jodi knows). I wonder if it would be a huge best seller. As if anybody is going to take anything this crazy woman says seriously.

Oh, what the arrogance of limited information doesn't do to some people's imaginations. Seriously, you know so incredibly little about this that it's not even funny. I wonder if you even have a clue as to how many Mormon Elders ever had their throats slit for breaking an oath. Do you? In the 182-year history of the LDS Church, that number was exactly ZERO. So why don't you just get off your anti-Mormon soapbox and get back to discussing the facts of the Jodi Arias case and not some obscure topic you know next to nothing about.
The ridiculous notion that Jodi would have any knowledge about the elders of the church or any other such nonsense could certainly be cleared up by the simple fact that she said she was told that having sex was OK as long as it was under water LOL!
Poking fun at religion seems to be a new trend for some. Gotta have some one to villify, I guess.
