Torture

I got a better answer.I'm Singaporean and learning History in school and currently learning about this.There are a lot of torture ways,I'll list them out for you,I don't know everything but I'll list what I know =)

1) Stuffed a hose into a person's mouth then filled the person's stomach with water till it's bloated then jump on the stomach and the stomach bursts then the intestines and internal organs rupture.

2) They placed some mice under a metal cover on the stomach then heat it and then when it's hot then the mice will start to scratch the person's stomach until it's full of wholes and won't stop till they find a way out or when the Japanese stops.

3) They hang the victim onto something then place a growing bamboo under you and wait for it to grow until it pierces through the whole body

4 ) They used a certain kind of nail clipper to pluck off the victim's nails. Then when it's pluck off it bleeds right? After that they sprinkled salt and vinegar on the wound then it will start to get infected and rot but the worst is that after every 3 or 4 days they came back and sprinkled some more till the fingers rot away

There's still a lot,like raping and if someone passed a Japanese soldier and didn't greet them then off they went to heaven. If you're not Singaporean I suggest you come to Singapore and learn about our history,its interesting and the place here is very nice =)

Starvation and beating mostly. I know of one: the Chinese water torture. They would tie a person's hands behind their back, and have them kneel before the torturer. The torturer would then proceed to place a single droplet of water upon the person's forehead. This would go on for several hours, maybe, and unsensed the tortured in a way of insanity.

----------

I'm not certain, but I believe they also at one point used tools such as fingernail extractors(let's not get into detail) and something else called water-boarding. I am not certain though.

----------

Water Treatment or "Cure" as used by the Japanese military during World War II was a form of water torture in which the victim is forced to drink large quantities of water in a short time, resulting in gastric distension, water intoxication, and sometime death. In this form of water torture, water is forced down the throat and into the stomach. This happens repeatedly until osmosis causes the cells to explode.

Water boarding as used today refers to a technique involving water poured over the face or head of the subject, in order to evoke the instinctive fear of drowning. Often, a wet cloth is placed in the subject's mouth, giving them the sensation that they are drowning.

==========

It is probably worthwhile to distinguish between torture - where the purpose is to inflict pain and distress as a punishment or as a method of coercion - from atrocities that were committed where the suffering was a byproduct of the purpose of the actions.

Although rape is sometimes a form of torture, nearly all of millions of the rapes committed by the Japanese during WW II were part of a plan by their leadership trying to improve the morale of the soldiers.* In those cases the rapes were technically atrocities rather than torture. The infamous Unit 731 would be another example of atrocities where great suffering was inflicted but for the purpose of (in)human experimentation rather that for the sheer sadistic pleasure of torture.

----------

* Personally I think it had to have the reverse effect on morale by degrading the soldiers participating and destroying their self-worth and honor.

According to this scripture taken from the bible, Satan and those that follow him, will be tormented in the lake of fire. With everyone that goes to hell there is not going to be anytime for a "ruler" to torment people. The burning flames and the pain is going to keep the people quite busy.

Hell was not created for man, hell was specifically created for the devil and the fallen angels. Matthew 25:41 ".....Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil an his angels:" So the whole design of hell was created to punish Satan and those that had fallen with him.

Something that was created to punish demons and the principalities and powers of the air, they are not going to have special privileges to punish people. They too will be punished.

The Inquisition was keen to maintain the dishonest and misleading pretence that, as good (!) Christians, they "did not shed blood". So they tried to use tortures that didn't not involve (much) bloodshed, for example:

• Simulated drowing ("waterboarding")
• the rack
• the strappado
• thumbscrews
• putting the legs in iron "boots" that were tightened
• poking and tweaking victims' flesh and genitals with red hot inplements

To cap it all, they said things like, "We destroy the body in order to save the soul".

Of all the Inquisitions (and there were a few from the 12th century until the 19th century), practically synonymous in the popular mind with the term is the Spanish Inquisition, mostly due to anti-Spanish Black Legend propaganda that has been produced from the Reformation until now. Thanks be to God, finally, truth is started to take hold due to people like Diane Moczar, an history professor at North Virginia Community College, Dr. William A. Donahue, the founder and president of the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights as well as Henry Kamen, a British Historian and Fellow of the Royal Historical Society. Please see the links below for a more detailed answer.

One of the myths that Diane Moczar speaks about in her book, Seven Lies About Catholic History, is the one spun by English Protestant writers detailed the sadistic tortures supposedly used by Spanish Inquisitors.:

It turns out that torture was in fact rarely used, and even when it was, it was very limited. In one group of seven thousand accused persons who came before the Inquisition in Valencia, for example, only two percent were tortured, and for no more than fifteen minutes.

from Wikipedia, article on Spanish Inquistion:

Although the Inquisition was technically forbidden from permanently harming or drawing blood,[61] this still allowed for methods of torture. The methods most used, and common in other secular and ecclesiastical tribunals, were garrucha, toca and the potro.[61] The application of the garrucha, also known as the strappado, consisted of suspending the victim from the ceiling by the wrists, which are tied behind the back. Sometimes weights were tied to the ankles, with a series of lifts and drops, during which the arms and legs suffered violent pulls and were sometimes dislocated.[65] The toca, also called interrogatorio mejorado del agua, consisted of introducing a cloth into the mouth of the victim, and forcing them to ingest water spilled from a jar so that they had the impression of drowning (see: waterboarding).[66] The potro, the rack, was the instrument of torture used most frequently.[67]
