  The commentary by EB would appear to have been scripted by Joy. Whether or not it was is of no matter. From the 1st time I heard of the incident back in the 70's it was my opinion then and now that Joy was a victim of an orchestrated effort to control what would be an unthinkable action on the part of a young man on a mission for his church.
  As far as the self serving comment by NEW KID "LDS missionaries are wholesome young people" yes there are many wholesome young people (NOT JUST LDS) humans are sexual beings which to deny is to deny ones self.
  I wonder if in the event a "young LDS man" on a mission were to commit a carnal act would the more appropriate action be to admit to the act or know the act was contra to his commitment and lie that it ever occurred.

  Being a "mormon" myself I can tell you this Joyce is obviously psycho, and whoever eb is hs no idea what they are talking about.
  
  The "mormons" more politically CORRECTly known as The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints(LDS), are good folk who are hardworking and try to raise their kids to better society. Many high level business men and women, doctors, military personnel, and politicians are LDS.
  
  They also teach the church members that premarital sex is not appropriate, so if this young man went willingly to a house where he then repeatedly had sex with this woman... Well I'd be shocked and appalled. Just because he's bigger than her doesn't mean she couldn't have abducted him against his will. The reason she probably wasn't charged with rape is because in the 70's it wasn't thought that a woman COULD rape a man, but now we know better and our laws in America have been adjusted accordingly. I guarantee you if it happened today that this nutter would be seeing the inside of a big house soon enough!
  
  From the information I've been able to find on the case, the man kidnapped was nowhere near 300 pounds either. He was around 230.
  
  And lastly, LDS missionaries are wholesome young people who are just seeking to provide service to people (my brothers both served missions and did a lot of whitewashing and building, trash cleanup and helping people move) and possibly sharing a message about God to lost souls. They don't brainwash people. In fact these have been studies done of which Christian religions knew their own beliefs and that of others, and the LDS church placed at the top of the list. We're taught from a young age to question and compare our beliefs, because our parents would rather have us find comfort in another church than deny God entirely.
  
  so Anthony, have you been sued yet? ;)

  short version of eb/joyce's rant: consequences will never be the same
  
  curious how a blog post that says "allegedly" with a link to separate coverage could remotely be considered libel. eb/joyce, only a veeeeeeery naive small child or senior citizen on his or her very first day on the internet would take any of your post seriously as a real legal threat. too funny. but seriously i do hope you end up seeking some help in order to grasp the best way to handle being a media subject albeit in a disconnected third-hand way...trust me that trying to police the dissemination with a post like the one you just wrote will only backfire and add more novelty and gawking, acting as 'proof' that you really are unhinged. i advise just abstaining from following it at all, as it'll be good for your health!

  Your perverted comment is libelous and defamatory-- slandering Miss McKinney. SHE WAS NEER CHARGED WITH RAPE. Nor did she "Seduce" her fiance. She was an innocent naive virgin until she met the Paul Bunyan sized Anderson. Contrary to the libelous press releases the Mormon PR men gave out (which some people are STUPID enough to believe!) she never kidnapped or raped a 300 pound man and was never charged or convicted of it. She went to England to rescue her missing fiance, from a well known cult, the Mormons, who concocted this PRESS HOAX and orchestrated a BLACK PR campaign to discredit her because she spoke out against their false un- Christian doctrine and their human rights abuses. Since it was forbidden for a Mormon street recruiter to fall in love, they LIED and told the press he was "raped" to save their multi million dollar Image. (He was a 300 pound and 6'5" hulk who worked at The Taco Bell; MIss McKinney was a petite 112 pound beauty and model who was completing her Ph.D. and who ran for MISS USA. So who do you think is telling the truth--Miss McKinney OR the Mormons, Morris and the tabloids? The PR conscious Mormons and their PR teams were lying, that's WHO! Errol Morris is being sued for million of dollars for repeating the Mormon slander, which he KNEW PERSONALLY to be false. In libel law, this is reckless disregard for Truth. He obtained footage of Miss McKinney under false pretenses by pretending to be "from Showtime Network doing a TV series on people whose lives were destroyed by tabloids". His researcher LIPSON ransacked her luggage and stole pictures of her which they used to altered and slandered her with libelous narration which was no where near the truth. They also edited her interview to keep out the TRUE FACTS. Miss McKinney finds their sick film DISGUSTING, and unless YOU want to be sued, too, you had better remove this comment and article from your website. it is CRIMINAL LIBEL to accuse an innocent person of a sex crime. You should have contacted the subject of your piece and found out the facts, before you slandered her! If the libel is not removed within 5 days, it will be sent to her libels attorneys, your service provider traced, and turned over to an internet libel lawyer and you WILL be sued. Make no mistake about it.
