The Good & The Bad of The Internet


"Words recorded on the internet do not disappear."
~M. Russel Ballard~

"You have the great opportunity to be a powerful force for good in the church and in the world."
~M. Russel Ballard~

"Now, may I ask that you join the conversation by participating on the Internet to share the gospel and to explain in simple and clear terms...  Most of you already know that if you have access to the Internet, you can start a blog in minutes and begin sharing what you know to be true."
~M. Russel Ballard~


It is important that we know that what we type on the Internet never goes away.  To be specific, we need to be kind to others and not lie, and put good things about ourselves online.  Imagine reading something about yourself or even a good friend of yours that wasn't true.  This will never go away, and many may read this and believe that is was true.  We need to be careful and put uplifiting and positive things online that will be there forever.

The Internet is a great opportunity to share your testimony about what you know is true.   You should feel comfortable with the Savior reading what you posted.  Inspiring or brightening others days is the best way to use the internet.  People should not be offended by what they read, and be able to instead take this positively.
