"Let us all improve our personal behavior and redouble our efforts to protect our loved ones and our environment from the onslaught of pornography."
Elder Dallin H. Oaks, 2005 General Conference, "Pornography"
“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.”
Elder Dallin H. Oaks, 2005 General Conference, "Pornography"
"Patrons of pornography also lose the companionship of the Spirit. Pornography produces fantasies that destroy spirituality. “To be carnally minded is death”—spiritual death"
Elder Dallin H. Oaks, 2005 General Conference, "Pornography"
"[Pornography] is like a raging storm, destroying individuals and families, utterly ruining what was once wholesome and beautiful.
President Gordon B. Hinckley, October 2004 General Conference, "A Tragic Evil Among Us"
"Pornography is not some titillating feast for the eyes that gives a momentary rush of excitement. [Rather] it has the effect of damaging hearts and souls to their very depths, strangling the life out of relationships that should be sacred, hurting to the very core those you should love the most.”
President Gordon B. Hinckley, October 2004 General Conference, "A Tragic Evil Among Us"
"all who are involved become victims. Children are exploited, and their lives are severely damaged. The minds of youth become warped with false concepts. Continued exposure leads to addiction that is almost impossible to break."
President Gordon B. Hinckley, October 2004 General Conference, "A Tragic Evil Among Us"
Pornography, though billed by Satan as entertainment, is a deeply poisonous, deceptive snake that lies coiled up in magazines, the Internet, and the television.
Elder David E. Sorensen, April 2001 General Conference,"You Can't Pet a Rattlesnake"
"Pornography is much like quicksand. You can become so easily trapped and overcome as soon as you step into it that you do not realize the severe danger. Most likely you will need assistance to get out of the quicksand of pornography."
Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin, October 2004 General Conference, "Press On"
"Pornography is as addictive as cocaine or any illegal drug."
President James E Faust, October 2000 General Conference, "The Enemy Within"
"Pornography brings a vicious wake of immorality, broken homes, and broken lives."
Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin, October 2004 General Conference, "Press On"

Pornography is a poison that is plaguing our society. It is more readily accessible then ever before.Pornography is a tool that is being used by Satan to destroy so many families. I need to make every effort possible to keep pornography out of my home. I read somewhere that it takes just one accidental viewing of pornography to become addicted. That is terrifying to me, because the internet is swarming with pornography threatening to pop up at any instance.Satan is using the wonderful tool of technology that we have for evil. After studying about pornography and the harmful effects, I know that I need to make sure all of our computers and my children's electronic devices have protection on them from those things.
