THEY NEVER DESTROYED THE HELPLINE RECORDS! Did RFM just catch the LDS Church lying about its CSA Helpline records? In order to avoid turning over Helpline records, the Church has previously sworn all the records are destroyed at the end of each day. Now suddenly, in order to defend itself against the allegations of Beau Oyler, a former bishop, the LDS Church miraculously goes back to August of 2013 and . . . finds the Helpline records for one particular phone call! How is that possible if those records were destroyed at the end of the day? How indeed? Watch this eleven-minute clip from the February 6, 2026 Mormonism After Dark show for details!

You doubted me once. Never do it again.
This actually makes me wonder if they destroy all files related to cases where the advise taking no action, but maintain files where they do recommend reporting. It would be a lie to say they destroy all records, but it could be true that they destroy all records that could prove they advised keeping mouths shut about abuse. Would fit with the “carefully worded denials” the LDS have such a track record for.
