Mormonism LIVE: 052: Elder Oaks’ Electroshock Hoax

On November 12, 2021, Dallin H. Oaks, a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints’ First Presidency addressed the community in a meeting. The meeting included Question and Answer on the University of Virginia Campus. In that Q&A Elder Oaks is asked about his treatment and his own development of views on LGBT folks over the course of his life. In his answer he denies that Electroshock therapy was used during his time as BYU President. In tonight’s episode we review the evidence that says otherwise and wrestle with Elder Oaks seeming to be directly lying about such an atrocious process under his administration.

  1. My friend was at BYU from 1969 to 1975, and Dallin Oaks WAS there then. My friend talked to a gay student in her ballet class. He was crying because his homosexual friend had committed suicide. And he spoke of having their genitals hooked up to electrodes and being given shocks if they reacted to a picture if a naked man. They also gave them stuff to make them vomit. These “conversion therapies” were done in the Joseph F. Smith Building. Thus Dallin Oaks is lying!!
