“Like the bark beetle it too is the carrier
of a deadly disease. I shall name it ‘pernicious permissiveness.’”
President Thomas S. Monson, Pornography – The Deadly
Carrier, October 1979 General Conference
“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.”
Elder Dallin H. Oaks, Pornography, April 2005 General
Conference
“Satan has become a master at
using the addictive power of pornography to limit individual capacity to be led by
the Spirit.”
Elder Richard G. Scott, To Acquire Spiritual Guidance,
October 2009 General Conference
“Another false philosophy that
appeals to the Mr. Hyde side of our natures is that peeking into pornography is harmless. This is a terrible deception.
Pornography is as addictive as cocaine or any illegal drug.”
James E. Faust, The Enemy Within, October 2000 General
Conference
“The
body has means by which it can cleanse itself from harmful effects of
contaminated food or drink. But it cannot vomit back the poison of pornography.
Once recorded, it always remains subject to recall, flashing its perverted
images across your mind, with power to draw you away from the wholesome things
in life.”
Elder
Russell M. Nelson, Our Sacred Duty to Honor Women, April 1999 General
Conference
"Pornography
will always repel the Spirit of Christ and will interrupt the communications
between our Heavenly Father and His children and disrupt the tender
relationship between husband and wife.”
Elder Boyd K. Packer, Cleansing the Inner Vessel , April
2010 General Conference
