Most days we all find ourselves assaulted by immoral messages of some
kind flooding in on us from every angle. The darker sides of the movie,
television, and music industry step further and further into offensive
language and sexual misconduct. Tragically, the same computer and
Internet service that allows me to do my family
history and prepare those names for temple work could, without filters
and controls, allow my children or grandchildren access to a global
cesspool of perceptions that could blast a crater in their brains
forever.
. . . Remember that those young wives said their husbands’ infidelity began
with an attraction to pornography, but immoral activity is not just a
man’s problem, and husbands aren’t the only ones offending. The
compromise available at the click of a mouse—including what can happen
in a chat room’s virtual encounter—is no respecter of persons, male or
female, young or old, married or single.
