About the evil Internet...
On the other hand, however - and extremely alarming - are the numbers of individuals who are utilizing the internet for evil and degrading purposes . . . . My brothers and sisters, involvement in such will literally destroy the spirit. Be strong. Be clean. Avoid such degrading and destructive types of content at all costs - wherever they may be! I sound this warning to everyone, everywhere.”
(Thomas S. Monson “179th Annual General Conference Sunday afternoon,” in “Church News: Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints,” published 5 April 2009)
Wow. That Monson quote is a keeper. “The internet is evil”.
Well, OK there is a lot of evil on the internet, but there is also a lot of good. Some of that good is showing others the truth about Mormon history and doctrine. The fact that LDS growth rate has dropped to zero in the last 15 years (since the growth of the internet) says that there are those who are listening. Praise God for that!
