It looks like it may take building a cabin out in the middle of the woods without electricity or mail service to truly protect your kids.

In My Humble Opinion the extremists when it comes to this are only asking for trouble later on. Catalogs are a gateway to pornography, really?

Well then I guess if some 5 year old stumbles into his Mom's room while she is there in her bra, she can be blamed if later a pornography problem arises.

I can imagine even a baby could fall in love with boobs and that stick in the back of the child's mind until it blossoms into full fledge pornography as you find that child thumbing through National Geographic.

One probalem I have with a fundamentalist type view of religion is there comes a point in time when a person looks back and comes to the conclusion those people preaching it were full of crap. It can shake the persons faith.

They can take away my internet, they can take away my access to HBO. But when they threaten my Sears and JC Penney catalogs, that is where I draw the line!

3. Shopping Catalogs


Believe it or not, direct mailers landing in your physical mail box can be a common (if less obvious) way for family members to get access to pornography. Although the content in a shopping catalog may not be deemed "explicit," it can be a gateway to more hardcore pornography.

Wow, I didn't know that Sears and JC Penney catalogs were considered "gateway" porn.

Wow. The link at the bottom of that article. An illustrated book called The Trap: A Story to Help Teach Children Modesty and Protect Them from Pornography

I liked #6.

Again, there are a couple of options. First, you could simply not watch television. But a more realistic approach would be to turn the TV off or change the channel during commercial breaks, or avoid watching shows on live TV in the first place. Using a service like TiVo() to pre-record shows and skip commercials lets you control what you watch.

So when my wife gets mad me for changing the channel too much, I can assure her that I'm just keeping porn out of our home.

The lighting is a little tricky to be sure, but seems like a pretty small nozzle for a black man.

Great catch. There is a reason they know so much about Gateway's to pornography. How subtle is that one and yet I will bet it festers in the minds of those who read the ad.

It is everywhere, it is everywhere. Sound the alarm.

My BiL's dad is a bishop. When youth come to him about masturbation he says, "Congratulations, you're normal." Apparently, the burden lifted off these young men after talking to him due to the shame felt from the tizzy the women in the church are in about "porn addiction" and "scourge" and "plague" make these boys feel very guilty over something that's natural at their age, the kind of guilty that's spiritually more harmful than godly sorrow over something that matters to your eternal soul.

I wish that were part of the CHOI.

I'd also like the church to ease up on the whole modesty and YW "virtue" and associated dress code. I'm currently dealing with a crisis from 300 miles away because an EFY counselor determined my daughter's dress was too short. We shopped for a new dress all weekend because we thought she out-grew her other dressess by an inch or so. So the joy of finally finding a dress we thought was "church acceptable" after hitting several dozen stores in the Dallas area over two days was wiped out by the EFY fashion police. Not a good thing for a YW who is stuggling with her relationship with the church and her mother who really encouraged her to attend EFY thinking that she really needed a positive church experience to "turn the tide".

Jeez, how common is this? Same thing happened to my daughter. Although in fairness to the EFY zealout crowd, my daughter knew the shorts were 'too short'; i.e. one inch above her knees.

It's summer in Dallas. There are no dresses anywhere in DFW that are "church acceptable" this time of year.

I'm not sure what to make of all these LDS living articles. They are clearly crazy. On the other hand, the magazine is a wholly owned subsidiary of the church. I wonder if there is any editorial input or control at all from HQ.

Your BIL's dad is one of my favorite people on earth. Such a great guy, and one of the YM leaders I looked up to the most in my youth. I'm not surprised at all that he has such a pragmatic outlook.
