Things to know

Regularly read by 50,000+ readers in over 140 countries around the world, "Dear Bro Jo" is published several times a month.

This is column is just one guy's opinion, and while he does his best to keep what he thinks, says and writes in-line with the Gospel of Jesus Christ, "Dear Bro Jo" is not an LDS Church website. (And Sister Jo thinks you should know that he's sometimes wrong, and often way too opinionated for his own good.)

Is Pornography Ever OK?

Dear Bro Jo,

I overheard some adults in my ward talking (they didn't know I could hear them). They were talking about it being OK for married people to watch porn together, that it's OK because they're married. Is that true?

Dear CT,

Yikes! No! It certainly is NOT OK for people to watch porn just because they're married. The addictive nature of pornography and the way it taints a person's perception of love and sex wrecks marriages, current and future.

The justification of sin is a dangerous thing - steer clear! You're not confused - you're smarter than some of the adults you know because you question behavior that you know is wrong. Stay strong!

And, if you want to help these Confused Adults, it's time for a talk with your Bishop. Be prepared to name names; you're not squealing, you're being your Brother's Keeper, and trying to help those that really need to be helped.

- Bro Jo
