1. We Believe in Being Chaste
Elder David A. Bednar, April 2013, General Conference:
Saturday Afternoon Session,
“The power of procreation is spiritually
significant. Misuse of this power subverts the purposes of the Father’s plan
and of our mortal existence.”
2. We
Believe in Being Chaste
Elder David A. Bednar, April 2013, General
Conference: Saturday Afternoon Session,
“That is the test. Every appetite, desire, propensity, and impulse of the natural man
may be overcome by and through the Atonement of Jesus Christ.”
3. The
Atonement, Repentance, and Dirty Linen
Elder Lynn A. Mickelsen, October 2003 General Conference: Saturday Morning Session, https://www.lds.org/general-conference/2003/10/the-atonement-repentance-and-dirty-linen?lang=eng&query=repentance
“Another side of exposing dirty linen is the carnal, insatiable appetite that some have to expose the faults of others.”
4. Pornography
Elder Dallin H. Oaks, April 2005 General Conference: Priesthood Session, https://www.lds.org/general-conference/2005/04/pornography?lang=eng&query=pornography+quotes
“Some involved in pornography apparently minimize its seriousness and continue to exercise the priesthood of God because they think no one will know of their involvement. But the user knows, brethren, and so does the Lord.”
5. Pornography
Elder Dallin H. Oaks, April 2005 General Conference: Priesthood Session, https://www.lds.org/general-conference/2005/04/pornography?lang=eng&query=pornography+quotes
“Pornography produces fantasies that destroy spirituality.”
6. Protect from Pornography – A Christ – Focused Home
Sister Linda L. Reeves, April 2014 General Conference: Saturday Morning Session, https://www.lds.org/general-conference/2014/04/protection-from-pornography-a-christ-focused-home?lang=eng&query=Pornography
“We as parents and leaders need to counsel with our children and youth on an ongoing basis, listening with love and understanding. They need to know the dangers of pornography and how it overtakes lives, causing loss of the Spirit, distorted feelings, deceit, damaged relationships, loss of self-control, and nearly total consumption of time, thought, and energy.”

“President Spencer W. Kimball taught that in marriage, “the spouse … becomes preeminent in the life of the husband or wife, and … [no] other interest [or] person [or] thing shall ever take precedence over the companion spouse. …”
8. To Acquire Spiritual Guidance
Elder Richard G. Scott, October 2009 General Conference: Saturday Morning Session, https://www.lds.org/general-conference/2009/10/to-acquire-spiritual-guidance?lang=eng&query=Pornography
“The onslaught of pornography in all of its vicious, corroding, destructive forms has caused great grief, suffering, heartache, and destroyed marriages. It is one of the most damning influences on earth. 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.”
9. To Acquire Spiritual Guidance
Elder Richard G. Scott, October 2009 General Conference: Saturday Morning Session, https://www.lds.org/general-conference/2009/10/to-acquire-spiritual-guidance?lang=eng&query=Pornography
“Sin is addictive; self-degenerating; conducive to other strains of corruption; deadening to spirituality, conscience, and reason; blinding to reality; contagious; destructive to mind, body, and spirit. Sin is spiritually corrosive. Unrestrained it becomes all-consuming. It is overcome by repentance and righteousness.”
10. Cleansing the Inner Vessel
Elder Boyd K. Packer, October 2010 General Conference: Sunday Morning Session, https://www.lds.org/general-conference/2010/10/cleansing-the-inner-vessel?lang=eng&query=Pornography
“Strangely enough, it may be that the simplest and most powerful prevention and cure for pornography, or any unclean act, is to ignore and avoid it. Delete from the mind any unworthy thought that tries to take root. Once you have decided to remain clean, you are asserting your God-given agency. And then, as President Smith counseled, “Don’t look back.”
