It recently occurred to me that there are a lot of posts here on the DearJohnDehlin blog about a lot of different topics, and it may not be as easy to find things as would be preferred, so here is an index to make things easier, together with links and brief descriptions. I will try and keep it updated as I go, and probably also improve the descriptions when there’s time.
Thanks for reading!

Another idea for a post is how he personally attacks those who dare disagree with him. For example, how he posted the name and picture of the PR employee of the church to publicly shame and mobilize his followers against him.
Another significant example is the treatment of Bryan King. In his original press release, John linked to Bryan King’s employment page and healthgrades account. My first thought was that he was trying to harm Bryan King’s employment. What’s interesting is (consistent with his selective editing of his press releases) he has removed the link after the damage has been done.
The comments of this blog post (http://www.millennialstar.org/there-is-nothing-brave-about-challenging-the-church/#comments) has a few archived page links showing the edits to his press release, as well as how Brian Kings healthgrades reviews have nearly doubled since John and his followers linked to it, and that his rating has lowered dramatically.
Another curious thing to me in his treatment of Bryan King was how John handled the date postponement. John simply announced that he received an email postponing the council two weeks. He made no statement as to the reason why. His followers immediately started calling Bryan King and the church cowards, that they were backing down, or that they were being abusive to John to drag it out. John just let those attacks on his facebook pages without any attempt to clarify things. A church spokesman later made a simple statement that it was because Bryan King’s father passed away. Even after this statement, there was no clarification by John or any expression of condolences. Instead, he let the rumors and speculation continue. I also find it curious that the postponement email was never released when all other correspondence (that we know about) has been made public.
Of course, John is the most kind, loving, Christlike, empathetic, person ever to walk this earth with only the purest of motives (if I am to believe what his followers and media write), so I guess I can assume this is just a misunderstanding on my part. It seems disingenuous to me though when I compare his treatment of these individuals to his quotes in the media about how he harbors no ill will toward King and the church, and that the whole ordeal has probably been as hard on them as it has been on him. “What empathy John!” They’ll say.

Thank you for the list and links. Why people continue to defend Dehlin is unfathomable. He plays very dirty.
@ Cam: Thank you for the informstion in your comment.
It would be nice if more people would take the time to research Dehlln and look at all information on him.
Especially how Dehlin attacks others. I feel badly for the Bishop and Stake President right now
who had to deal with Dehlin’s yellow journalism tactics.

After reviewing the transcript of his unauthorized recording of the August meeting, I find it even MORE despicable that John linked to president King’s work health grade page. In the transcript President King mentions to John that this had been hard on him too and that he had receive many emails and voice mail messages at work that were “unsupportive.” John apologized and stated he did not give out his information to people.
With that background, John still linked to King’s work page in the press release that he sent to local and national media. This, after knowing King had already been receiving harassment at his work.
