<p>Ich wollte es eigentlich kürzen, aber dabei ginge doch zuviel verloren.
<a href="http://www.lds-mormon.com/only.shtml">To Young Men Only</a>, von <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boyd%20K.%20Packer">Boyd K.
Packer</a>, damals und
heute Mitglied der "zwölf Apostel":</p>
<blockquote><p>I wish to explain something that will help you understand your young
manhood and help you develop self-control. When this power begins to
form, it might be likened to having a little factory in your body, one
designed to produce the product that can generate life.</p>
<p>This little factory moves quietly into operation as a normal and
expected pattern of growth and begins to produce the lifegiving
substance. It will do so perhaps as long as you live. It works very
slowly. That is the way it should be. For the most part, unless you
tamper with it, you will hardly be aware that it is working at all.</p>
<p>As you move closer to manhood, this little factory will sometimes
produce an oversupply of this substance. The Lord has provided a way for
that to be released. It will happen without any help or without any
resistance from you. Perhaps, one night you will have a dream. In the
course of it the release valve that controls the factory will open and
release all that is excess.</p>
<p>The factory and automatic release work on their own schedule. The Lord
intended it to be that way. It is to regulate itself. This will not
happen very often. You may go a longer period of time, and there will be
no need for this to occur. When it does, you should not feel guilty. It
is the nature of young manhood and is part of becoming a man.</p>
<p>There is; however, something you should not do. Sometimes a young man
does not understand. Perhaps he is encouraged by unwise or unworthy
companions to tamper with that factory. He might fondle himself and open
that release valve. This you shouldn't do, for if you do that, the
little factory will speed up. You will then be tempted again and again
to release it. You can quickly be subjected to a habit, one that is not
worthy, one that will leave you feeling depressed and feeling guilty.

<p>Schönes Beispiel für zwei Dinge: selbsterfüllende Prophezeiungen und
Authorität durch das Einreden von Schuld.</p>
