Jeffery Holland

YW greeting him at airport. Recently divorced because of unfaithful husbands because of porn.

Global cesspool, crater in your brains forever. Infidelity begins with pornography. It's not just a problem with men (wow... admitting female sexuality. I am impressed). Cell phones, video games, ipods can have porn.

Root is lust. Most deadly of the seven deadly sins... spirit destroying. It's a sin because it defiles the holiest relationship of marriage. Separate yourself from that which can harm you. Flee from it, get as far away as possible.

Seek help, talk to bishop. Pray without ceasing. Filters on computers, self control is the only real control. Turn of indecent shows. It dulls spirituality.

More than one man has been saved from sin by remembering the faith of his mother, wife, or child. Make sure you have welcome thoughts by invitiation. Let will be your reason. Cultivate spirit of the lord. Keep clean art, music and literature. Go to temple as often as circumstances allow... temple arms you.

(Editor's note: I am so bored of these pornography talks that I had a hard time paying attention. In my opinion, pornography only becomes such a huge issue when sexuality is so repressed and there is no allowable way to be a sexual person. When you deny a part of yourself to the extent that you can't masturbate, you can't touch yourself at all, you aren't ALLOWED to wear what you want, what's comfortable... when sexuality is dictated by asexual geriatrics... when female sexuality is demonized... then of COURSE you are going to have people who go nuts with something that is so easy to hide initially. If the church allowed a healthy comfortable view of sexuality, the "pornography problem" would be virtually eliminated.)
