Salt Lake City, UT—ClearPlay has announced its latest
service: ClearPlayScriptures. As with its famous service for movies,
ClearPlayScriptures removes the vulgarity, sensuality, nudity, violence,
substance abuse, and other offensive elements from holy writ.
According to their website, “whether it’s personal scripture
study, family home evening with the kids, or a talk or lesson, ClearPlayScriptures
has you protected.”
The alterations that ClearPlayScriptures makes are obvious
from the first chapters of Genesis, including “modest outfits” for Adam and Eve
as well as Cain “finding some alone time” and “getting a tan” instead of killing
his brother, fleeing, and being cursed.
“I’m just thrilled with this service,” said Jenna from
Provo. “When it was family scripture study time, and there we were with 4 year-old Khyileë
and 2 year-old Pyler, I was so glad when we got to the story of Nephi getting the plates
to see that ClearPlayScriptures had filtered it so that Nephi finds Laban,
takes him home, offers powerful testimony of the Word of Wisdom, and then Laban
and his whole family are converted.” Jenna added, “when Laban wept as he tearfully gave Nephi the plates and
said goodbye to his trusted friend Zoram, well I knew that heaven had blessed my
family with scriptures free of anything troubling or contentious.”
ClearPlay’s website has numerous testimonials of people ecstatic
about this new service. As Troy from Logan puts it, “it is so refreshing to be
able to read the scriptures without your finger on the page ready to turn
immediately when you find something inappropriate.” Troy could be responding positively to
filters where Joseph’s brothers throw him a surprise birthday party, Jezebel
encourages devotion and modesty as her and Ahab serve as mission presidents, and
Jonah not only converts all of the sailors but even the fish were “moved upon
by the Spirit.”
Jacob from Springville also loves the service, saying that he
would like to “thank all of the folks that make the filters and the
engineers/current Seminaries and Institutes employees who make this
possible!” Jacob said that the change in Lehi’s speech, specifically when he
says “for it must needs be that there is an opposition against all bad things”
helped him to see that “removing all traces of struggle and whatever makes us
uncomfortable” is clearly what good people should constantly do.
