Betrifft: Doch Folterungen durch die LDS

Zwar nicht selbst ausgefÃ¼hrt, aber durch "Therapeuten", die sie beauftragte:

Rocky (Connell O’Donovan):

I was born into the Mormon church. I "came out" to my seminary teacher. I thought that he would be really fair and that he was a friend. I felt like he was a friend that I could go to with a problem and he would somehow help me. If I had known then what I know now, I wouldn’t have done that. I mean he tried really hard, but basically all he did was turn me over to the wolves. He contacted my bishop, my bishop contacted my stake president and that is how it all started...my journey into the belly of the beast--ten years of negotiating my way through the Mormon church’s torturous program for reorienting or curing homosexuals--trying to turn us into heterosexuals.
I think at about the time that I came out to my seminary teacher I had just read Spencer W.
Kimball’s book, The Miracle of Forgiveness. It had a chapter in it called I think, "Crime
Against Nature", and it described in very certain terms the evilness and sinfulness of my condition. He used awful words to describe me and my feelings. He stated that my desires were pugnant, evil, disgusting, vial, malicious, and pernicious. Well, I started doing counseling with my bishop and stake president. It was summer and school was out so they told me that I needed to go down to BYU for this program that would help me to become heterosexual. Of course, I jumped at the chance. They told me and had taught me that
heterosexual was the only way to be--I wasn’t, so I wanted to become such. I’m like 15 years
old, and I didn’t want my parents to know so they arranged it to look like I was going down for some genealogy research camp. I stayed at the dorms on campus and was supposed to go
immediately in and meet with the receptionist, fill out the papers, release forms, etc. I sat down and they kind of explained to me what was going to go on, and I was horrified by the whole prospect of what I found out was going to be vomiting-aversion therapy.
They explained to me that they would place a heparin lock in my wrist and hook an I.V. up to
that, and I would be put in a room alone with a phlethesmograph on my penis that would measure my physical arousal so that when I got an erection they would know. Then they
started showing me gay pornography. I don’t remember if there were films or not, but I do
remember stills. I was supposed to go through a stack of photos of nude men and come up with men that I thought were attractive.

Interviewer: Had you seen gay pornography before that?

Rocky:

No, I was 15! I was only 15 years old. I mean I’d seen like a Playboy before, but I’d never seen sex before at all. They were going to show me this gay pornography and using the I.V. they would inject a drug into me during the gay pornography to make me start vomiting.
Then they would switch the pornography over to heterosexual sex and inject a euphoric drug into me to get me to associate euphoria with heterosexuality. I look back on that and think that
I would have taken the electric-shock therapy had I known about it since I’m extremely phobic around vomiting.
I was supposed to come back the next day for treatment, but I just didn’t show up. I called in sick and put them off. They finally said that I had to come down and tell them what was going
on. I told them I couldn’t do it, and they gave me a "shame" letter which I had to hand carry back and give to my stake president telling him that I had refused to go through with the Lord’s program for my cure.
That was the same year that Boyd K. Packer gave his talk during priesthood meeting at
General Conference. His talk called, "To Young Men Only" which I don’t remember hearing, but it was made into a pamphlet that I was given to read. The talk goes in to the evils of masturbation and it goes into--well, he never calls it homosexuality, but he calls it "physical
mischief" between men.
The bishop found out that I returned home from BYU unsuccessfully or whatever, but he kept me in weekly counseling sessions where I would have to meet with him on a weekly basis and report what I was doing and how I was feeling sexually, what my fantasies were about, what I was daydreaming about, etc. I hadn’t had any sexual experiences, but at that point I was masturbating to homosexual fantasies. In Spencer W. Kimball’s book he states that
masturbating leads to homosexuality and so the bishop going on that information told me that I had to stop masturbating.
The way that we figured out for me to do that was for me to create a chart on a piece of paper with all the days of the month on it. If I was successful in not masturbating I would put a little smiley face or a gold star on that day or something, but if I wasn’t successful I had to color the day in red symbolizing the red flames of hell burning me. I was supposed to get as many days in a row of smiley faces as I possibly could. My record was 17 days in a row of not masturbating which wasn’t very good.
The mission rules are all about not touching, going out, socializing, hugging the opposite sex, etc. so anyone with any homosexual tendencies at all in that type of a situation who has to be with a member of the same sex for 24 hours a day, who is the same age, you both come from the same kind of background, same heritage, culture, etc. is bound to produce a sort of sexual tension. It has got to go somewhere. Quelle: http://www.lds-mormon.com/legacies.shtml

War das etwa keine Folter? oder zÃ¤hlt das nicht, weil es "nur" um HomosexualitÃ¤t geht?
In der Vergangenheit haben Mormonen sehr wohl gefoltert, was viele der Texte beweisen, die du Ã¼bersetzt hast auf deinen Seiten.
