Just in case anyone has an iphone and wants to get rid of the ability to view p***, it is easy to lock yourself out of the browser app. Just PM me if you want to know how.

Tizkeh l'Mitzvos!

No Internet on my cell phone - I'd be toast if I had that Nisayon!
Just as an alcoholic needs to avoid that first sip, a lust addict needs to avoid that first slip.Slip today? No way! ;)Fall today? No way, Jose'!

Tizke L'mitzvos, I don't have an Iphone, or a bomb which can explode randomly.
Well, technically I do, my computer. But I don't carry it around with me, so it's not as dangerous.

And BTW, What do you mean lock yourself out? Can't you just unlock it?

Go back to the "Restrictions" settings (under the "General" settings) and first DISABLE restrictions. Then, re-enable them. It will ask you to type in a new passcode. Then promptly forget it.

Sure, I can write up everything I know about blocking access on the iPhone and email it to Guard. Does that make sense? Maybe someone can do Blackberrys also. I can't because I've never used one...

Please do!

And send it to the filter Gabai as well, at filter.gye@gmail.com

YAY I cause Harbatzas hatorah,,, or saving yidden from sinning. yay me!



hey guard, how about we try to lure people onto this site by making flyers on Ipod filters, and blackberry (when we know how). and put GYE adress somewhere on the page???

It's clean enough to be easily mailed to every single beismedrash/ Mesifta and (BY ??)

Thank you for posting this. I have an iphone and ever since I placed the K-9 filter on my laptop, the YH switched gears on me and now I'm using my phone as a tool for lust. Yesterday and today I used it for that very purpose. I just can't seem to stop lusting. Ironically, that same phone has my GUE chizuk emails, Torah vorts and holy music and seifers on it (Torah, Sidddur, Tehilim, Tanya etc). I was thinking of blocking the safari browser all together, but I use it on a daily basis more for good than for bad. To block the internet, I find it a temporary fix, because eventually I will find some other means to lust, bypass it, and avoid actually trying to guard my eyes. The same thing happened with the k9 filter, where I figured out how to go around it. With my internet unprotected on my phone, I feel that its a huge test for me to keep my eyes clean and regain trust in myself and trust in Hashem. The only time I get attacked by the YH is when I'm alone with my phone and I get a foreign thought to surf some bad sites. You know, I feel very hypocritical to call myself frum (okay, I'm a BT) - but it feels weird to consider myself a religious Jew and yet watch these incident images and videos in my private time. I feel that I have lost the guilt feelings I used to have. I've damaged my connection to Hashem and tshuva seems like a temporary goal because I anyways fall. Huh! Even if I do conceptually have some really low degree of understanding of the spiritual damage I cause to myself, children, family, Hashem's divine plan etc., because of my lusting and flaw of the covenant, I am just a measly addict who is mastered by a
simple short lasting human passion.

The good thing is that its good to finally post something on the forum, as I was away from it for a long while. I wanted to add that I bought the book the "Light of Ephraim", and I really recommend it to everyone here on GUE it helps alot.

Im sorry I didn't stick to the topic. I just had so much to write and it just flowed out.

Thanks for reading.
