Good story. As a man, you fight it every day. Even on FR.
That doesn’t erase all of his sins of course. Sounds like he has a big pile of them too.
Amen Brother, Amen.
Not for us to decide if he does or not.
Remember the saying: ‘But for the grace of God there I go’.
Was watching a documentary about porn recently. Had no idea the affects on the male brain and exactly how addictive it is. More than addictive, is how destructive it is. Men who view porn, over time can not gain an erection naturally, thus have to use more porn to do so.
What is strange is these same men would rather look at porn than be with their wife/gf. Or have to look at porn to be with their wife/gf.
This just goes to prove that being sexually stimulated is in the brain and not the sex organs.
This documentary said that the makers of Viagra and other drugs like it know this concept well and cash in on the men who are addicted to porn. Last I heard Viagra was $10. a pill so you go figure what that can cost to a man in his 20’s the rest of his life.
Now I don’t know if this story is true but I am gonna pass it on anyway. Who in America has the best sex? Would you believe the one group we poke fun of the most often in here? The Amish. Think about it. Porn free and conservatively dressed. Yea maybe they do have something to teach us.
“That doesn’t erase all of his sins of course. Sounds like he has a big pile of them too.”
He had his “Road to Damascus” moment in life. Pray for him. Pray for all others like him.
You are right. Those who are happily married their whole life are probably doing something right.
Like I said, I’m not the final judge. I can have my own opinions though.
Nothing erases your sins. The truly repentant can give them to Jesus, though. Then, by the Grace of God, they are forgiven.
I'm curious about this statement:
After leaving the industry, Pauling enrolled in school to become a pastor
Was that an online course or something offered at his community college?
Sorry but my gut feeling is that Donny Pauling is still a self serving fraud, hungry for money...........
You want to convince me of your sincerety Donnie, do some missionary work.
his sins cannot be erased by doing good, but they can be washed clean by the blood of the Lamb.
Seems to me he’s done a complete turn around, which is what repentance means. America needs to do the same, a complete turn around. 180*
When King Manasseh who sacrificed his firstborn by burning him alive to Molech repented, God forgave him. Lots of similar facts in the Bible.
couldn't tell ya, i don't watch it...
And the early Christians didn’t trust Paul’s conversion, either.
That doesn’t erase all of his sins of course. Sounds like he has a big pile of them too.
I disagree. When this man repented and accepted Christ as his Savior, all of his sins were washed away and Christ and will remember them no more. He is forgiven. Forever. Will he ever sin again? Every day of his life. But that what prayer is for. To ask forgiveness everyday. Paul tells us to pray continuously. It is hard to sin when you are praying. Prayer brings you closer and closer to Christ.
If you ask him to describe where he came from and how he feels now. One word will describe it! Especially after the business he was in and that word is: CLEAN
He apparently has a deep and abiding faith - that he shouldn’t actually have to work for a living.
“So who is Donny Pauling replacing, Swaggert?”
Actually no. Swaggert just got caught with a Playboy. Jimmy later cried crocodile tears before the tv camera. He did not help publish it.
I can’t say if Pauling’s heart is in the right place or not only time will tell. I do know that a lot have left the porn industry and become christians. Would be nice if more would.

A true story about pornography. And it doesn't even go into any of the really destructive evil details. Just how one can indeed become free from porn. It ruins lives and there is not a pinch of doubt about it. And if anyone says "but I/people I know use it and we're not ruined". "Ruin" doesn't necessarily mean you lost your family, house and job. Although it can.
Pinging both lists since homosexual pornography ruins lives as well.
You didn’t read the next sentence in which it stated that he has no plans to become a pastor, he went to school to help himself.
As usual, you post crap.
