I have a friend who was arrested for having pornographic images on his computer. He was a professional man who has lost everything, but gained his soul back, as he came back to the Church before entering prison. Praise the Lord. We need as many men as possible to encourage other men to turn off their computers.
I had an addiction to porn. I asked St. Benedict for assistance. I said just ONE chaplet of St. Benedict and asked him to drive out the demons that were causing my addiction. I was cured. I still pray to him, Mary & St. Mary Magdelene for continued success! It works! But you got to WANT to break free.
I am a 4th degree Knight, and I am behind ridding this type of trash from society. I am also a journalist, and believe strongly in the first amendment. The Roth standard states that if prurient (obscene) interest is involved, the first amemndment does not protect. Right now the State Attorney General of my state (south carolina) is sueing Craig's list for not taking off the pornographic prostition pages from the website as it realtes to south Carolina. As a former subsitiute teacher, I am aware that these sites is where many predators find there prey, and use them to make money off of these girls.
As a former Peace Corps Volunteer to president of feed the children-philippines, one of the programs I worked with, involved getting young children (make and female) trafficed for the pornographic websites to have a way to turst others, aas well as legitimate job training program. The Physcological dmage that is done to these boys and girls involved in this pornogrpahy industry, is horrendous!!!
It really angers me that the the first amendment and almighty dollar, and creating jobs is used to justify putting this trash out.
I am 43 years old, and I remember when sneaking a look at the naked little pigmies on my parents's national geographic was shameful. what has the world come to when exploiting for sex is no longer considered shameful
