Leadbeater revised   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #17428 of 53303 |
Anand Gholap claimed:

"(4) Boys asked him [Leadbeater] what to do about continuous sexual
thoughts in their minds. Leadbeater replied masturbation would relieve
from those thoughts for some time. Any doctor will tell you he is right.
From that statement many stories were created by others about CWL."

Interesting revision of history, but, alas, simply false.

Leadbeater, by his own admission:

(i) claimed to be able to know clairvoyantly when boys where experiencing
sexual desire and initiated discussions about masturbation with them;

(ii) "taught" (his word) masturbation to boys [whatever "taught" might
mean];

(iii) included "indicative action" in his "teaching" of masturbation;

(iv) may have used "physical touch" in his "teaching" of masturbation;

(v) did such things to pre-pubescent boys.

This is a long way - morally and legally - from providing counselling to
boys who sought his advice. Any doctor (or psychologist or clergyman or
counsellor) who did what Leadbeater admitted doing would be de-registered
and sent to jail.
