1970s Church Pamphlet on Homosexuality
http://connellodonovan.com/transgressors.html
A couple of high points from this pamphlet authored by SWK and Mark E. Peterson: 1. It refers to homosexuals as perverts, deviants, etc. 2. The 1970s church believed scripture study, prayer, and increasing interaction with the opposite sex could cure homosexuality; 3. Homosexuality was simply a problem in the person's mind; 4. A person seeking a bishop's help would be guaranteed confidentiality unless the person failed to make progress; 5. Homosexuality threatens the existence of the human race. This quote sums up the Church's 1970 position on homosexuality quite well: "Reason might also be employed to convince the individual that there is no future for a homosexual. He may appear to 'get by' while young and attractive but the day will come in his life when there is nothing left but chaff and dust and barrenness and desolation."
