Hats off to Matthew Fradd!!

What a story and what a minisitry he has undertaken! God bless him!

[Salvation]

I have no idea about this at all, but it has been shared with me that this is one of the things that repeated might get mentioned in Confession.

Definitely and addiction.

Any thoughts out there?

I’m wondering if the use of pornography is more addictive and widespread that we ever imagined.

Good for Matthew Fradd!

You didn't list this as a Caucus, but as it's a plauge to all mankind, may I as a Mormon, say I completely agree.

If I may add, Elder Jeffery R. Holland, LDS apostle, in an address earlier this year on the subject.

“Place No More for the Enemy of My Soul”

I’m fairly certain that you can function perfectly normal with the occasional viewing of such matters. The addiction issues aside considering if you become addicted could be an issue. Other issues of course are unrealistic expectations during intercourse and of course the cast of jersey shore...

but i did hear that the most porn is bought in the bible belt...don’t know how accurate that is

Internet pornography sells at $3,000 per second. That is over $4,000,000,000 per year. That is more than what the NFL, NBA, MLB and the NHL earn combined in a year.

Good for him.

Porn is extremely addicting and extremely hard to break because you are exposed to it everywhere and are only a click away online.

I don’t want to sound stupid here but what did men do before porn? Is the point that they should be using their imagination rather than actual images of women?

As a person who has struggled with substance abuse issues and all the things that come with it, and as a person while not addicted, cannot deny I have never looked at porn on the internet because all it takes is the click of a mouse to do it. I would only pray that people look towards Bible based recovery groups and Bible based centers rather than 12 steppism for their addiction problems.

12 steppism, thats a whole nuther thread.

Very true, but it is one of the red lines most churches will not wander into.

Way to go Matthew Fradd! If you have time, I heard of another woman doing some serious work in battling this epidemic on Steve Brown Etc. I have not read her book but I would like to: Steve Brown Etc.
