Lets say a young man is working with a bishop, has an addiction to pornography and is trying to work his way back. In the process the bishop counsels the young man to putt off dating, giving the same advice that he gives to others in that same kind of situation. What do you do?

I would tell him to clean up his life, date nice girls and say away from my daughters. -
What was the rationale for putting off dating? Was it help him overcome his addiction or was it to protect the girls he might potentially date?Originally posted by BYUTexan View Post"The mind is not a boomerang. If you throw it too far it will not come back." ~ Tom McGuaneComment

Could be, or lets say the bishop advises him to get a recommend and get in better shape financially and physically before dating and offers this advice to others.Originally posted by Non Sequitur View PostComment

If that's what he says, then what evidence do we have that this advice is connected to the porn problem?Originally posted by BYUTexan View PostAin't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.
