Abstain from all appearance of evil. 1 Thess. 5:22

"Satan does not want you to be happy," said President Ezra Taft Benson at the April 1989 general conference.

"He does not want you to dare to do right. He wants you to be miserable as he is. He has captured the hearts of wicked men and women who would have you participate in things such as pornography, drugs, profanity, and immorality. Stay away from these evils. Avoid books, magazines, videos, movies and television shows that are not good."
