Re: Sexy TV shows tied to teen pregnacies
The following is a post I made on a "content based or technology based filters" thread on another forum.
I believe it may apply here.

The biggest challenge right now is integrated technology, the only real filter is the Holy Ghost.
The technology does not exist to filter cellphones. Therefore no fool proof way to keep it off your child's phone.
It is predicted that porn by phone will go from virtually zero to multi-billion in a couple years.
Furthermore things which most Apostolics would consider harmless. Hand held games.
Some have the ability to go into wifi hotspots so the kids have the ability to challenge each other online.
So what? Well, they also have built in I-Explorer which means once again unfiltered, unsupervised internet access.
The only hope: quit preaching against technology and start preaching Christ, holiness, and inner braces.
I have to agree with the premise it is now impossible to externally filter our kids, families and saints the way it was a few years ago. Then it was simply don't own a TV or go to the movies. Sorry won't work now.
My youngest daughter is part of a pilot program all 1,500 students at her high school are REQUIRED to use school issued laptops.
The parents were assured all filters were in place, the kids could not even get on MySpace. Took the kids about a week to figure out ways around them.
I have spent A LOT of time with my daughters over the past few years in very frank and and candid discussions about what is out there, how to avoid it and why.
Those who know me know I almost never post is this tone. But for this one to me there is no middle ground.
Some will insist on staying Apostolic Amish.
But the ONLY way to win this battle is to focus on inner braces more than external stimulus.
