KEW GARDENS HILLS, N.Y., - A group of men
dissatisfied with an organization offering therapy that promised to rid
them of their homosexual attractions have filed a lawsuit in New Jersey
court alleging consumer fraud. The Community Guardians Group, a New-York
based organization that seeks to engage the spirit of Torah values in
dialogue with American society, released the following statement.
"The allegations stated in the complaint against JONAH, as reported by
the press are disturbing to any G-d fearing person," said Dovid Z.
Schwartz, Director of the CGG. "If these accusations are true, many
vulnerable young people may have been grossly mistreated by the very
people they sought to help them.
"Everyone has a unique set of challenges, but the Almighty Creator
endowed every human being with the ability to rule over his or her
desires. The impulse of sexual attraction may require a person to
struggle for control just as much as the impulse for violence to others.
These men and women who feel betrayed by therapy should never lose hope
of realizing the true strength of their souls."
According to the tradition of Judaism, the Torah that G-d Almighty gave
the Jewish people also contains a universal code of laws applicable to
all mankind. Called the "Seven Laws of Noah," this code contains the
foundations of human society, including a prohibition against acts of
homosexuality, alongside murder, theft and cruelty to animals. The
Community Guardians Group is a grassroots organization based in the New
York City area that seeks to engage the spirit of the eternal values of
the Torah in dialogue on matters that confront American society.
