It's all about control. What other organization, especially a church, would presume to talk that way to people who are supposedly there by their own free choice?

In my family "checking the internet history" would involve monitoring 5 different computers, 2 tablets and 6 smart phones.
I remember some years back spending money on a program that limited access to the internet except to sites I had approved through the program. I spent hours setting it all up, going through sites my boys wanted to use to allow them access. The next day after I got home from work I found the boys bouncing away to any site they pleased. It had taken them all of a few minutes to figure a way around the program by installing a different browser.

sounds like you have a high density NOM ward. Poor Bish! Might be the push that sends many of them to the "less active" state

Do folks not know about incognito mode in Chrome and FireFox? No history to delete as it never is written. Now if anyone needs tips on ssh tunneling past a web nany filter just ask.

It seems the bishop noticed your rare appearance and your usual drooling and made the announcement your pew neighbors had hoped he would make.

WTF!
I don't want my wife checking out my internet history. She can find her own porn sites by herself

He then went on to say that it was a shame that some of the fathers were more interested in looking at their electronic devices and computer screens than taking an interest in the lives of their wives and children, the mood suddenly changed and that happy feeling soon left me, he went on to say," I urge you wives to regularly check your computer's internet history and question your husbands and children if it is ever erased without your permission!"

This is the problem of having untrained people to lead a congregation. It reminds me of a couple of bishops that were good men, but not trained or well thought out about what to say, when or how to say things on their minds. If a bishop had brought up that they were going to do this in leadership meetings, even as a believer, I would have told him it would be inappropriate to do it in sacrament meeting, especially a primary presentation.
