Generally yes. Not that you haven't had the experience, but that you are embellishing and adding to the effect in order to implicate the Church in something sinister.
Huh? Either they were asked about masturbation or they weren't. If they had the experience of being asked, then they aren't lying, period.
A truthful statement doesn't become a lie just because you don't agree with the possible motives for why it was brought up in the first place.

Yet the motives promulgated constitute yellow journalism.
Is everything said about the Mormon Church except singing its praises and hallelujahs considered by you to be yellow journalism? Jesus H Christ! You are calling it yellow journalism that people are explaining that when they were young and Mormon their bishops, under color of the Mormon Church, were asking those young people about masturbation. It's a fact, and if you'd be honest with yourself, you'd tell a similar tale that you too were asked.

Yes, anything that doesn't fawningly toss the salad of the LDS church is yellow journalism to bcspace.

The term Yellow Journalism also indicates jealousy over the success of one’s competitors, because it entered the vernacular shortly after the Hearst press squashed its competition.
