Addicted to the Internet????

OK so mike just emailed me this article he found. Very Interesting. Especially in light of President Monson's General Conference closing remarks. For those of you that don't remember, President Monson Stated

"Now, a word of caution to all—both young and old, both male and female. We live at a time when the adversary is using every means possible to ensnare us in his web of deceit, trying desperately to take us down with him. There are many pathways along which he entices us to go—pathways that can lead to our destruction. Advances in many areas that can be used for good can also be used to speed us along those heinous pathways.
I feel to mention one in particular, and that is the Internet. On one hand, it provides nearly limitless opportunities for acquiring useful and important information. Through it we can communicate with others around the world. The Church itself has a wonderful Web site, filled with valuable and uplifting information and priceless resources.
On the other hand, however—and extremely alarming—are the reports of the number of individuals who are utilizing the Internet for evil and degrading purposes, the viewing of pornography being the most prevalent of these purposes."

I Just assumed that the only degrading thing that the Internet was used for was pornography....until this article brought some new light upon what our Prophet counseled us.

I hope this article helps us see another way in which the Internet can be a tool in the hands of adversity to distroy our relationships with those we dearly love.
