“How thankful we ought to be ... how thankful we are, for a prophet to counsel us in words of divine wisdom as we walk our paths in these complex and difficult times. The solid assurance we carry in our hearts, the conviction that God will make his will known to his children through his recognized servant is the real basis of our faith and activity. We either have a prophet or we have nothing: and having a prophet, we have everything” - Gordon B. Hinckley

Pornography


"Youth who have been exposed to immoral images at a very young age are terrified that they may have alredy disqualified themselves for missionaru servise and sacred  covenants. As a result, their faith can be severely impaired."
-Quentin L. Cook, Can Ye feel so Now, October 2012. LDS.org


"Pornography is everywhere with its seductive invitation. You must turn away from it. It can enslave you. It can destroy you. Recognize it for what it is—tawdry and sleazy stuff created and distributed by those who grow rich at the expense of those who see it."
-Gordon B. Hinckley, An Ensign To The Nations to the world, October 2004. Lds.org

"In this day of rampant immorality and addictive pornography, parents have a sacred responsibility to teach their children the importance of God in their lives. Those evils, so highly destructive of divine potential, are to be strictly shunned by children of God."
-Russell M. Nelson, Salvation and Exaltation, April 2008.Lds.org

"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."
-Boyd K. Packer,Cleansing the Inner Vessel October 2010.Lds.org

"Pornography is especially dangerous and addictive. Curious exploration of pornography can become a controlling habit, leading to coarser material and to sexual transgression. Avoid pornography at all costs."
-Thomas S. Monson, Preparation Brings Blessings, May 2010. Lds.org 

"Pornography is like a raging storm, destroying individuals and families, utterly ruining what was once wholesome and beautiful. … The time has come for any one of us who is so involved to pull himself out of the mire. If you are tempted to violate the law of chastity in any form, follow Joseph of Egypt’s example, who fled, and got him out."
-Anthony D. Perkins Beware Concerning Yourself, October 2012. Lds.org

“In our day the dreadful influence of pornography is like unto a plague sweeping across the world, infecting one here and one there, relentlessly trying to invade every home, most frequently through the husband and father,” 
-Boyd K. Packer, Cleansing the Inner Vessel, October 2010.Lds.org

"The young man I mentioned earnestly asked if the Apostles knew how early in life teaching and protecting against pornography and impure thoughts should start. With emphasis, he stated that in some areas even before youth graduate from Primary is not too early."
-Quentin L. Cook, Can Ye feel so Now, October 2012. LDS.org

"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 (ironically being of the world while not being in the world)."
-D. Todd Christofferson, Brethren, We have work to do, October 2012. LDS.org

"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. Avoid alcohol and tobacco or any other drugs, also addictions which you would be hard pressed to conquer."
-Thomas S. Monson,  Priesthood Power, April 2011. LDS.org
