Best inspired move!!. Last year I saw how social media was disrupting mainly the Sunday services in our Ward. Good that when I talked to our Bishop he immediately responded by switching off the internet during the three hours block of Sunday meetings. However, even other days have become a challenge as even non members come to use the service for personal activities or gains. Thanks to the Leaders.

Wonderful news! Finally, fewer distractions in church from those who choose to use electronics during meetings and classes. Hopefully, this will also help seminary students focus on studying the scriptures. Maybe they could also block sports sites from meeting houses on Sundays.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

I also agree. YouTube especially as it takes a lot of bandwidth. I was asked to teach the Family History class and we never got it off the ground because there was. Not enough bandwidth. At least part of the problem was people surfing the net. It is good to have internet access and I appreciate it. It is better to have controlled access, too.

Excellent decision when you look at these sites objectively. Hope they all are included especially Facebook and YouTube.
