Boyd K. Packer, Cleansing the
Inner Vessel, October 2010 General Conference
2. "Participation in pornography in any of its lurid forms is a manifestation of unbridled selfishness."
Richard G. Scott, To Acquire
Spiritual Guidance, October 2009 General Conference
3. "Pornography is like a raging storm, destroying individuals and families, utterly ruining what was once wholesome and beautiful."
Gordon B. Hinckley , A Tragic
Evil among Us, October 2004 General Conference
4. "Like thieves in the night, unwelcome thoughts can and do seek entrance to our minds. But we don’t have to throw open the door, serve them tea and crumpets, and then tell them where the silverware is kept! (You shouldn’t be serving tea anyway.) Throw the rascals out! Replace lewd thoughts with hopeful images and joyful memories; picture the faces of those who love you and would be shattered if you let them down."
Jeffrey R. Holland, Place No More
for the Enemy of My Soul, April 2010 General Conference
5. "Pornography, though billed by Satan as entertainment, is a deeply poisonous, deceptive snake that lies coiled up in magazines, the Internet, and the television."
David E. Sorensen, You Can't Pet a
Rattlesnake, April 2001 General Conference
6. "Avoid any semblance of pornography. It will desensitize the spirit and erode the conscience. We are told in the Doctrine and Covenants, “That which doth not edify is not of God, and is darkness.” Such is pornography."
Thomas S. Monson, True to the
Faith, April 2006 General Conference
7. "When I consider the demons who are twins—even immodesty and immorality—I should make them triplets and include pornography. They all three go together."
Thomas S.
Monson, Peace, Be Still, October 2002 General Conference
8. "Satan, with his angels, will try to capture your thoughts and control what you do. If he can, he will corrupt anything that is good. To him the Internet is just that—a net to ensnare you into wicked addiction with pornography. Unhappiness will follow."
Boyd
K. Packer, "The Standard of Truth Has Been Erected," October
2003 General Conference
9. "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. It is one of the most damning influences on earth. Whether it be through the printed page, movies, television, obscene lyrics, vulgarities on the telephone, or flickering personal computer screen, pornography is overpoweringly addictive and severely damaging."
Richard G.
Scott, To Acquire Spiritual Guidance, October 2009 General Conference
10. "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, April 2005 General Conference
11. "Pornography will always repel the Spirit of Christ and will interrupt the communications between Heavenly Father and His children and disrupt the tender relationship between husband and wife."
Boyd K. Packer, Cleansing the
Inner Vessel, October 2010 General Conference
12. "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 General Conference
13. "Strangely enough, it may be that the simplest and most powerful prevention and cure for pornography, or an unclean act, is to ignore and avoid it."
Boyd K. Packer, Cleansing the
Inner Vessel, October 2010 General Conference
