I didn't read all the responses, so someone may have already provided you with this link: Click Here I receently listened to a presentation given by a man who is trying to get resources into people's hands to combat this sort of thing. I hope that this link may give you some of the tools you need to get this situation fixed: www.fightthenewdrug.org A couple of things that have come to light about pornography that most people are not aware of: Pornography changes the chemistry in your brain. The average age of pornography exposure today is 9 years old. You are actually better off using cocaine or methamphetmine than viewing pornography. He covered so much information that it was difficult to absorb it all. Please utilize the website and the tools that are available there. Pornography is an incredibly destructive thing. It is far too easy to access and it is destroying lives and families around the world. People truly do not understand just how addictive it is. If it becomes an addiction, it will take 2 years to over come it (the same as any other addiction). I hope that you will be able to get through this trying time. P.S. One thing I forgot to add. The speaker covered the concept of bishops telling people to pray and read their scriptures to overcome a pornography addiction. IT DOES NOT WORK. The largest group within the church that has problems with pornography is return missionaries. They were told to read and pray and their addiction was never addressed properly before their mission. Professional help will be needed to ovecome this if it has indeed become an addiction.

The government will never give up revenue or bad laws. They are too addicted to power. The people just need to start making it harder for them to eaves drop. For instance, if everyone started using Protonmail, the government would be up in arms. It takes two passwords to get into your account and if you forget the second password, the account can never be unlocked. The blatant disregard that our government shows for the Constitution sickens me.

Tomorrowland. It was disappointing. I realize it was PG, but Disney is a huge letdown these days since they insist on putting swearing into their movies (even though the words were mild). Have screenwriters all lost the ability to write entertaining scripts without swearing in them??

Ooops - wrong forum. Why can't we delete posts??

I had to dump a nice chunk of change into my hot rod recently, due to a torque converter company cutting corners and an engine builder also cutting corners. It sucks to have to shell out money because of other people's dishonesty. Just wanted to vent. Have a good night, all.

Brother Bean was walking home from church one Sunday. As he was passing his neighbor’s house, the neighbor sprayed him with the hose & said, “I hear you Mormons believe in baptism by immersion!” Brother Bean sprinted towards the neighbor while replying, “Yes, and we believe in the laying on of hands too!!”

What do you get when you cross an insomniac, with an atheist & a dyslexic?? A guy who lays awake all night wondering if there really is a dog!!

Ooops!!!!

They are opening a new exhibit at the Church History Museum about high priests. It's going to be called "Living Fossils".

A primary teacher was teaching her CTR class about some of the commandments. She had just told them to honor their father & mother, then she asked, "Is there a commandment that tells us how to deal with our brothers & sisters?" One little boy raised his hand & said, "Thou shalt not kill?"

I met a girl online & we are eager to meet each other. She is going through a major health trial right now (very serious), but it is not stopping me from wanting to date her. We have become very close & I hope to become closer to her. Don't worry about it too much - just live your life the best you can & something good will come of it. If we dwell too much on the negative, others sometimes pick up on that. I used to do that, but I have made some changes in my life & the way I feel now is amazing. Just concentrate on the good things in your life & you will be amazed at how different things will be.

This song is very powerful by itself, but when coupled with the video, it brings tears to my eyes. So to all those who give of themselves freely to serve & protect our country, thank you, very much.

I usually don't like hymns that aren't performed the way they are written, but I find this one to be very powerful. I hope you enjoy it.

It truly is amazing. I am so lucky to have her in my life thus far. She says it is fate, but I still feel very lucky. She has such a calming effect on me & it has brought about positive changes. Life is such an amazing thing........

I just got a call from her about 30 minutes ago. She was admitted to the hospital & they were running all kinds of tests. They are not sure if she has some sort of infection or if her cancer may have returned. She said I did nothing wrong, which makes me happy. I am so glad that I decided to pray for her & her family - it strengthened me & helped me to move forward. She is looking forward to the day when we can finally meet & so am I. I am truly blessed to have gotten to know her thus far - she is a good person & has much to offer to those around her. Good things do continue to happen in life.

where all the singles (27 to 36) hang out. I'm not into dancing, so that is out. But, are there any other activities in the Mesa, Arizona area on a regular basis?? Surely someone must know......

Amazing!! I don't log in for a while & now there are girls posting here! Maybe I have B.O....Sniff....Sniff.....Nope, I don't. I wonder why they came out of the woodwork all of a sudden.......Hmmmmmm............

I don't know about everyone else, but I just like the way it looks. I also like the Biohazard symbol.

It sure would be nice to find some single girls from Arizona on here.....

Well, I guess that is a start.

I can't believe that there is a singles board available & the are no single girls here! Amazing!!!

I gave you several scriptures that were in the New Testament that are very clear in condemning homosexuality. It is not a natural attraction. It is a perverse & twisted use of nature. The Book of Mormon does mention the sins of Sodom, the most blatant of which was homosexuality. Satan has warped the minds of the gay community into believing that they were "made that way". Sorry, but that doesn't fly. There has been absolutely no scientific PROOF that it is genetic - there are only THEORIES. Most of science is theories, not fact. The scientific community is very arrogant to start asserting that they have found genetic links to just about everything, when DNA science is barely in its infancy. They have not even begun to discover the human genome. They have just barely cracked the surface on this science. Justify it all you want - God did not make anyone "that way". God is not "that way". Jesus Christ is not "that way". The prophets of old are not "that way". To use an old cliché, "God made Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve". If homosexuality were normal, the human race would cease to exist. We have been warned by modern prophets that sexual immorality would run rampant in the last days & the gay movement is total proof of that. The attraction to the same sex is not natural. The feelings that lead people toward that lifestyle are of the devil. Satan wants us to fail & sexual immorality is the quickest way to do that. Not even the leaders of the church are immune to it, as we are told that some of the very elect will fall. Remember that even Satan can appear as an angel of light - especially when he wants to mislead God's children. Society today has accepted homosexuality, but the church will not & can not. It is contrary to the laws of God, one of the most important of which is to multiply & replenish the earth. Kind of hard to do that when practicing a homosexual lifestyle. As for stating that it is me that defines homosexuality as wrong & not God, you obviously did not understand the scriptures that I listed. What part of "leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust towards one another" don't you understand? What part of "men with men, working that which is unseemly" don't you understand? It is very clear that homosexuality is a sin & is abominable before God. Our prophet today, Gordon B. Hinckley, has told us that homosexuality is wrong & is an abomination before God. Sodom & Gomorrah were destroyed because of rampant homosexuality. If homosexuality is acceptable before God, then why didn't he create 2 gay couples when he created Adam & Eve? Because he did not create anyone gay. You are trying your hardest to justify sin, when you know deep down inside that it is wrong. So many homosexuals have told psychiatrists that they feel dirty & ashamed when they participate in gay sex. Why do you think that is? Because our body is a temple for our spirit & when you do things as vile as that, your spirit is crying - begging - for you to stop. Keep on justifying it to yourself, but don't try to convince others that it is right. In the end, you will know that you were wrong. If you mislead anyone into believing as you do, you will be held accountable. I have enough to worry about in my own life, without having to wonder if I will be held accountable for misleading or corrupting someone else. Look in the topical guide of the Bible under homosexuality & read all the scriptures listed there - it just might make you understand that God does NOT condone that behavior. If you are living that lifestyle, then you have CHOSEN to live that lifestyle. Science has been wrong so many times & yet people continue to believe every word that scientists say - very sad. If you are ready for the truth, then if you pray about this, Heavenly Father will let you know that homosexuality is wrong - period. There is no gray area. You are either on the Lord's side or Satan's side - no straddling the fence. Two studies to not make scientific fact. There is so much trash being thrown at the youth today, that it is a wonder that there aren't more of them turning to sexually deviant lifestyles. I truly wish that we could hold Hollywood & all of the television studios accountable for all the damage the are causing to today's youth. Live your life how you choose, but don't try to justify sin as being right. I don't want to be anywhere near the homosexual community when the second coming occurs. That is going to be one hot place.

It always amazes me when people try to twist the scriptures to fit their needs. There are some very plainly worded scriptures which deal with homosexuality. None of them were "born that way". While they may have a predisposition to this kind of behavior, whether it be environmental or whatever, God did not create them that way. We are created in His image - does the homosexual believe God to be "that way"? Here are the scriptures that you need to read: Leviticus 20:13, Romans 1:26-27, 1 Corinthians 11:11, Leviticus 18:22, 1 Corinthians 6:9, 1 Timothy 1:10, Jude 1:7. There are some very clear verses in there that homosexuality is an abomination before the Lord. The prophets of the church have said "Love the sinner, loathe the sin" (or something to that effect). It is also very interesting to me that up until the last 10 years or so, homosexuality was listed as a mental illness in all of the medical journals. Kind of funny that once the gays infiltrated the medical profession & started making waves elsewhere, that this has changed. You can try to justify things all you want to & even justify them enough so that you begin to believe them yourself, but that does not change the fact that homosexuality is wrong & is a sin. It is a behavior that can be overcome & many have done it (look at Ann Heche, for example). Please don't try to mislead people that it is natural (there is absolutely nothing natural about the sexual relations between homosexuals) & do not try to make it look like the scriptures do not condemn this behavior. It is a chosen lifestyle. I need to address one more thing. You state that homosexuality doesn't hurt anyone. Well, when kids are bombarded by this stuff day in & day out, it is hurting them. Then there is the fact that disease rates among homosexuals are much higher than the population at large. That results in higher rates of communicable diseases & medical costs skyrocket - and those costs are borne by society through higher taxes, which hurts everyone. Please do a little more research on this subject with an open mind (be sure to pray about it as well) & I think you will see that it is not a "harmless" or "victimless" lifestyle. Thank you.
