Pornography

Pornography

1. “Pornography, in particular, is a weapon of mass moral destruction. Its impact is at the forefront in eroding moral values.” 
Elder Quentin L. Cook "Let There Be Light!" October 2010 General Conference

2. "...the seeds of alienation and transgression had begun with an attraction to pornography."
Elder Jeffrey R. Holland "Place No More for the Enemy of My Soul" April 2010 General Conference

3. "Those who seek out and use pornography forfeit the power of their priesthood."
Elder Dallin H. Oaks "Pornography" April 2005 General Conference 

4. "Patrons of pornography also lose the companionship of the Spirit. Pornography produces fantasies that destroy spirituality."
Elder Dallin H. Oaks "Pornography" April 2005 General Conference

5. "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."
Elder Dallin H. Oaks "Pornography" April 2005 General Conference

6. "Pornography, the carrier, is big business. It is Mafia-spawned. It is contagious. It is addicting. In a study last year, the FBI estimated that Americans spent 2.4 billion dollars on hard-core pornography. Other estimates reach as high as 4 billion—a fortune siphoned away from noble use and diverted to a devilish purpose!"
Thomas S. Monson "Pornography--the Deadly Carrier" October 1979 General Conference

7. "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."
Elder Richard G. Scott "To Acquire Spiritual Guidance" October 2009 General Conference

8. "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."
Elder Richard G. Scott "To Acquire Spiritual Guidance" October 2009 General Conference

9. "Participation in pornography in any of its lurid forms is a manifestation of unbridled selfishness. How can a man, particularly a priesthood bearer, not think of the emotional and spiritual damage caused to women, especially his wife, by such abhorrent activity?"
Elder Richard G. Scott "To Acquire Spiritual Guidance" October 2009 General Conference

10. "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."
Elder Boyd K. Packer "Cleansing the Inner Vessel" October 2010 General Conference
