2. “Pornographic or erotic stories and pictures are worse than filthy or polluted food. The body has defenses to rid itself of unwholesome food. With a few fatal exceptions, bad food will only make you sick but do no permanent harm. In contrast, a person who feasts upon filthy stories or pornographic or erotic pictures and literature records them in this marvelous retrieval system we call a brain. The brain won’t vomit back filth. Once recorded, it will always remain subject to recall, flashing its perverted images across your mind and drawing you away from the wholesome things in life.” Dallin H. Oaks –April 2005 General Conference “Pornography” link
3. “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.” Dallin H. Oaks –April 2005 General Conference “Pornography” link
4. “Satan has become a master at using the addictive power of pornography to limit individual capacity to be led by the Spirit. The onslaught of pornography in all of its vicious, corroding, destructive forms has caused great grief, suffering, heartache, and destroyed marriages.”- Richard G. Scott-October 2009 General Conference, “To Acquire Spiritual Guidance”
5. “Participation in pornography in any of its lurid forms is a manifestation of unbridled selfishness.” Richard G. Scott-October 2009 General Conference, “To Acquire Spiritual Guidance”
6. “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
7. “Stay completely away from pornography. Do not allow yourself to view it, ever. It has proven to be an addiction which is more than difficult to overcome.” Thomas S. Monson, Priesthood Power, Conference April 2011
8. “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
9. “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.”Deiter F. Utchdorf, A Matter of a Few Degrees, April 2008
10. (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
