I realize that we need to be aware and warned of the reality of the deadly influence of pornography. BUT--did we really need so many details??? It makes me sick to my stomach and is not necessary to make your point.

This is a great article, but it's terrifying and I fear a similar article could be written about drugs & alcohol, greed, seeking popularity (or "likes"), even poverty or anything else that Satan can use to fill a physical or emotional void or need, create a dependency, and cause us to lose focus and control, mis-use our agency and lose sight of our Eternal goal and potential. Maybe Alma has the answer (Alma 31:5).

This is a brilliant take on the Beast. I will never read Revelation the same.

The hard truth! This excellent article reveals what has been hidden to most people. I feel disgusted and educated and now want to do more to protect our young people and others. Thank you for printing this difficult truth to those of us who are not usually exposed to these hard facts.

As troubling as this story is, it makes perfect sense. We, as Latter-Day Saints need to get our heads out of the sand and see what is really going on in this world and do something about it!

A connection that makes so much sense. Took my breath away and I am not ignorant. To understand the human cost is gut wrenching. No longer a brown bag industry. I’ve been told that close to 100% of young people will be exposed to some form of pornography by Jr High.

This is not an easy topic to write about and you have covered it well. Everyone is affected. I had a model friend disappear after being invited to an Italian villa. So many men are not treating women with patient loving gentleness anymore. Women wonder if they want to have children or bring them into the world as it is today Married men have become aggressive towards not just their spouse but towards other women outside of their marriages. There is so much deception. The body of Christ must strengthen. The body of Christ must be vigilant. The body of Christ must stand firm in the wisdom of the scriptures, in the Word of God. A battle is raging for our souls.
