Avoiding Degrading Media Influences
 

People all over the world recognize the skull and cross bones as a graphic warning of what can happen if they take the poisonous substance into their bodies.  Latter-day prophets have warned us of another kind of contamination that can be deadly, not to our bodies, but to our spirits and minds.  The mass media; television, radio, movies, magazines, and newspapers, communicates with many people at the same time.
 

The media can help further the work of the Lord on the earth, to educate, and to entertain.  But it can also be used to destroy.  The media is a chief tool of the adversary, who seeks to break down moral behavior in all of us.  We need to rate the things we read, watch and listen to ourselves.  In our minds, some need to be marked with a skull and cross bones to remind us of how they are poisoning our minds and spirits.  Don't poison yourself with contaminated material.  Use uplifting media!
