Internet For Religious Research?

RELIGIOUS AMERICANS LOOK ON THE INTERNET FOR ANSWERS
See https://www.chicagotribune.com technology section

Nearly two-thirds of Americans who attend religious services weekly use
the Internet for personal religious or spiritual purposes, a recent survey
indicates. One of the most visited religious Internet sites is the
Church's LDS.org.

Research Religious Internet

I find that it is much easier to look up scriptures on lds.org than it is by using my Standard Works. With 30 years worth of Ensign, Era, Friend and ALL of the Curriculum at my fingertips via lds.org, of course I am going to use the internet.

Once I find the article I want, and IF it is from an issue that is less than 10 years old, then I may go to the Branch Library and get the magazine. Especially if it is from the Friend. Pictures are worth their weight in gold in Primary!

I'm not sure I understood the question correctly. "What percentage of the internet ..." That's different than "my usage percentage" of the internet, yes? The internet probably has less than 10% of gospel content

But my usage of internet resources FOR gospel study is probably 75%.

The churches official site is fantastic for reference material. But I find that the internet in general isn't so good. When you do a search for LDS related information most of what you find is just anti-mormon material.

I have found that to be very true and not wanting to add to it we hope to make here a positive influence. The Church's web site is doing well, at first it was rather straight forward, but now that they are adding more and more things it is becoming a real online powerhouse indeed.

That is for sure, JB! So many things we now have access to, and with stake and ward websites now available, there will be much more activity there. It's a great resource, for members and nonmembers alike.

Internet Religious Research

I agree about the lds.org site. As AGene has found, it is the best place to go if you are searching for something gospel related. I, too, find it a great site when searching for a particular scripture. There is a woman at work who is born again christian. Whenever she is searching for a particular scripture and can't find it or can't remember exactly where it is or what it says, she asks me. She thinks I have this vast knowledge of the scriptures when, in fact, I just do a scripture search at lds.org.

TECHNOLOGY IS SPREADING THE PROPHETIC VOICE
See https://www.lds.org/library/display/0,4945,...-3109-2,00.html

Since 2000, more and more Church members are hearing the words of the First Presidency and the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles each weekend. Yet it isn't the Brethrens' travel schedules that have changed; it's technology. In recent years, broadcast and interpretation technologies have created more opportunities for Church members to see and hear from General Authorities.
