Immoral thoughts, words, and deeds always are immoral, even in cyberspace… We are all accountable to God, and ultimately we will be judged of Him according to our deeds and the desires of our hearts. ~ David A. Bednar, Things as They Really Are, CES Fireside, May 3, 2009 BYU-Idaho.
Like thieves in the night, unwelcome thought can and do seek entrance to our minds. But we don’t have to throw open the door, serve them tea and crumpets, and tell them where the silverware is kept! Throw the rascals out! Replace lewd thoughts with hopeful messages an joyful memories; picture the faces of those who love you and would be shattered if you let them down. ~ Jeffery R. Holland, Place No More for the Enemy of My Soul, Conference April 2009
Pornography impairs one’s ability to enjoy a normal emotional, romantic, and spiritual relationship with a person of the opposite sex. It erodes the moral barriers that stand against inappropriate, abnormal, or illegal behavior. As conscience is desensitized, patrons of pornography are led to act out what they have witnessed, regardless of its effects on their life and the lives of others. ~ Dallin H. Oaks, Pornography. Ensign, May 2005
Stay completely away from pornography. Do not allow yourself to view it, ever. It has been proven to be an addiction which is more than difficult to overcome.~ Thomas S. Monson, Priesthood Power, Conference April 2011
Be Cautious. These same technologies can allow evil influences to cross the threshold of your homes. These dangerous traps are only a mouse click away. Pornography, violence, intolerance, and ungodliness destroy families, marriages, and individual lives. These dangers are distributed through many media, including magazines, books, television, movies, and music, as well as the internet. Dieter F. Utchdorf, A Matter of a Few Degrees, April 2008
We cannot afford husbands and fathers who fail to provide spiritual leadership in the home. We cannot afford to have those who exercise the Holy Priesthood, after the Order of the Son of God, waste their strength in pornography or spend their lives in cyberspace.
D. Todd Christofferson Conference October 2012
(Pornography) is utterly without redeeming social value. We urge our families to protect their children in every way possible. We live in a permissive world, but we must make certain we do not become a part of that permissive world, that degenerate world.
Spencer W. Kimball, God Will Not Be Mocked, Conference October 1974
Permissiveness, immorality, pornography, drugs, the power of peer pressure- all these and more- cause many to be tossed about on a sea of sin and crushed on the jagged reefs of lost opportunities, forfeited blessings, and shattered dreams.
~ Thoma S. Monson, Believe, Obey , and Endure, Conference October 2013
"Most people in trouble end up crying, 'What was I thinking?' Well, whatever they were thinking, they weren’t thinking of Christ. Yet, as members of His Church, we pledge every Sunday of our lives to take upon ourselves His name and promise to 'always remember him.' So let us work a little harder at remembering Him." Elder Jefferey R. Holland, Place No More For the Enemy of My Soul, April 2010 General Conference
Priesthood holders carry with them the antidote to remove the terrible images of pornography and to wash away guilt. The priesthood has the power to unlock the influence of our habits, even to unchain from addiction, however tight the grip. It can heal over the scars of past mistakes.
~ Boyd K. Packer, Cleansing The Inner Vessel, October 2010 Conference
We need to be alert of this kind of bad stuff that is around us we need to be strong avoid it at all cause because theres not need to stain our minds with something thats going to be there forever. in these latters days having this kind of inmorality is normal we need to show the world that we can be clean to come back to heavenly father. we need to protect our families and childrens because we know that satain is giving his last fight and he wants us to be miserable like him.
