THE PROBLEM OF PORNO

image from http://www.cleancutmedia.com
AT PUBLIC LIBRARIES,

...so I'm sitting here @ B Library working on a project and the table I'm at happens to be right behind a public computer and a guy looking at pic after pic of naked or near-naked women and also various sexual images.....its clear as day from where I'm sitting...

now I'm a heterosexual man  myself and like woman, but I'm also a Christian and don't like to see  women exploited for their bodies only, and am also concerned about the  effect that non-stop porno viewing has on people such as this  fellow...and what about kids in the library ? this is a serious issue..  not to say the body is bad,,,in fact the body is GOOD, God made Adam  & Eve and said it was "good"...

The problem isn't the body, nor the  naked body, nor is the problem sexuality or sex in general (and since  he's not looking at homosexual images I don't need to discuss that  here)...the problem is just the "raw" gazing upon anonymous images,

...one  after another, looking them up & down and all around without any  shame..and also if it takes young men away from reality..from the  healthy desire for the REAL THING Rather than pics of it.

Of course in  liberal society today if women, as well, are afraid of the REAL THING  its a "vicious spiral"...and when I speak of the real thing I mean in a  committed relationship...

that's what is pleasing to God..."go and  cleave" to another ( i.e. a person of the opposite sex)

"...a man shall  leave his
father and mother ...

...and shall cleave to his wife, and they shall  become one flesh...

Of course, I don't like libraries that have internet so  obsessively triggered to block any & all websites that MIGHT contain  "adult images" (but might not; at one library they block youtube and  also a site named scribd which is mostly written documents, not a video  site, and definitely not aimed towards adult content) ..so the body is  good & sex is good, but lusting and adulterey in the heart is  bad..but what about when u r still single and searching ? is it ok then  ? I'm still not so sure its healthy. I don't even think a quality  relationship should begin based solely on physical qualities. Maybe  that's why we have a divorce problem in the USA . ..anyways, I also  posted a video of me at a library facetiously being "tempted" by adult  material on the website ("I confess..." ..with the point being to raise  this matter as an issue of concern and to talk about it, online, and to  give my theological viewpoint(s) as I also continue to grow and  learn...and still, occassionally, yearn for a committed relationship  with the right person of the opposite sex. God bless you all. Pray for  those who are afflicted with demons of addiction...

...to porn or other material(s) (drugs, etc)...that  keeps them constanly "pumped up" but not in touch with reality ...and  not participating as citizens in trying to make this world a better  place for everybody..ultimately, the incessant viewing or pornography  (and especially those who "get off" on it, I.e. masturbate)...

STOP JERKING OFF
is simply a  problem of being SELFISH...

STOP USING THE VIBRATOR

...and it causes other social problems..if you  are trapped in a cycle of addiction, there are ways to BREAK FREE...AND BE REAL !

...and  of course I always talk about Jesus Christ as the Way...

http://mudpreacher.files.wordpress.com/2009/03/jesus-the-way-the-truth-the-life.jpeg

..and ultimately  the only way, but if that's not your cup of tea (coming to Christ  involves commitment and work) there are other forms of treatment for  addiction..

MAUNDY THURSDAY

search the web, you'll find it..be brave enough to ask for  help...let us all keep growing either in faith or in citizenship or both  and keep making this world a better place for all...both men &  women..set aside your selfish habits that you may say is your "legal  right" but nonetheless is harmful in some ways to the betterment of  society..I invite you to take a new step today..for Christians...as we  approach Easter three days from now..we are at the end Of Lent... and I  hope u gave up something for a while..and if it was a selfish addiction  don't go back to it...leave it behind forever..have courage, God will  not let you down...!

NOTES FROM FINAL DAY, 

SESSION 2, 

168 FILM FEST,

 
          ALEX Theatre, GLENDALE, CA

thanks to http://www.collidemagazine.com for the above pic

(by the way, last year they specifically said in one of ther pubs "please take lots of pics"..now he just said for first time, "please no cams" (inside theatre) (later, he said take pics during their award ceremony and said pics during the movies don't come out anyways...well, in fact, they do turn out just fine... but i'm not taking any chances of uptight film people sending me angry messages, despite professing to be Christians (like last year when I tried to promote a few 168 films by showing clips of their vids; fortunately, most of the Christian film people did not object and seem to be sincere Christians.. but the guy who produced "In the Hands of Sinners" really came on very angry and overbearing re my posting of a clip of his film...which, ironically, in retrospect, I realize now was actually a criticism of Christianity, not pro-Christianity...thus he was an imposter in the 168 film fest...; ironically, there may be too many film makers who are overly eager to criticize the church & Christianity itself in their own re-make of what they think Christianity should be..to such film makers if you say you are Christian, then .just promote the Gospel, don't spend all your time being armchair quarterbacks re the church)  ...(surprise appearance by actor erik estrada in "Inspector Sanchez"... to the founder and employees of 168 keep up the good work ..to nellie from the netherlands..nice chatting with you... remember me ? you recognized my name as Dutch.

4/2/11 NOTES FROM FINAL SESSION 2, 168 FILM FEST, ALEX THEATRE, GLENDALE, CA 120-3pm; .good 2nd session of films...here's some of the verbatim.. [this is unedited, incuding typos..last year I posted little clips of each vid, trying to promote the faith, & advance the kingdom..but I'm noticing more "copyright" claims at the end of these films...(I never understand "Christians" who claim copyrights on "Christian" material)...so I might not be posting vid clips..even tho I want to promote the faith..some of these "industry" people can be seriously uptight about this stuff (I remember a few messages from last year)...(which is a shame b/c the true Christians who want their stuff promoted for Kingdom purposes, may get left out..its too much of a danger for me..on YouTube..getting one more strike could lead to my entire 15,000 plus video website being shutdown) (the entire verbatim won't fit here so for all of it go to http://hwblog.posterous.com/4211-notes-from-2nd-session-final-day-168-chr. ;Here's my notes & some verbatim from the 2nd session: "Rapper..quick reminder..doesn't matter..u and your career..nobody buy a gospel ..contract..ur not coming back..stupid..id kill for your life..wrong house..dj trizz..xompilation..handed kets..blamin god..scr..y hgo yhis route..didn't want just what I wanted..now how I feel..let me spin a verse..this ain't just entertainment..this is ministry..gotta know god..take some time..looks like eminem..credit card declined..sleeping on couce.demise of o child..nack at nightclub..women..ochild..slot in beat feast ..be huge..o-child new rap..won't go back..like nothin I've ever done..freedom.. ------------------ Digging w.
