Are astronomy gathering safe for children?

Wow, the wife thing is a little over the top!

But seriously, there has not been any discussion or mention of porn here
for quite some time. If you are new here, you can believe me or not, or
go search the archives.

The best thing to do with this or whatever else you deem objectionable
on the internet is to ignore it.

I have been involved in amateur astronomy gatherings for over 20 years.
Never have I suspected that anyone involved with our club was a
child molester. We invite children to our meetings, both indoors and
outdoors, and we've never had any problems.

find examples of sexual activity of all types.

I take my responsibility given to me by Christ and my Church to be serious
and very important, astronomy is a hobby and it's the story of the gifts
our celestial father has given us. I am sealed with my wife in this life
and in the celestial kingdom.

Porn sneaks in when you aren't watching. You must be ever vigilant. Will
you join me in this?

To ignore is to invite more of the same!

I thought it might be something I could interest the other members of my
ward in but now I'm not so sure???

Surely the bit about his ward is a dead giveaway.

We are being trolled by an expert.

Your beef is obviously with pornography, not astronomy.

If you want to take up a crusade against internet porn, I suggest you forget
about astronomy. You are going to be _way_ too busy.
