Pornography

(Boyd K. Packer, Power to Overcome Pornography, June 2012, http://www.lds.org )

9.) "One of the most damning influences on earth, one that has caused uncountable grief, suffering, heartache, and destroyed marriages, is the onslaught of pornography in all of its vicious, corroding, destructive forms. Whether it be through the printed page, movies, television, obscene lyrics, the telephone, or on a flickering personal computer screen, pornography is overpoweringly addictive and severely damaging" (Richard G. Scott, The Sanctity of Womanhood, November 2008, New Era)

"You have more temptation than I had; you face a world much less committed to religious values; you deal with drugs I didn't know existed; and pornography-well, in my day we didn't even know what the word meant or what is represented."
