The porn industry was featured last night on CNBC, which took its viewers inside the $13 billion business of pleasure.
Well, there is no doubt that millions of Americans derive pleasure from porn, which may be found at the magazine stand, in the video store, on regular and pay-per-view cable and, of course, all over the Internet.
But it is the passing pleasure of sin, as the Scripture warns us. It has a corrosive effect on our souls.
That is borne out by the powerful testimonies of men and women alike who have experienced, first-hand, the deleterious effects of porn on their lives; whose woeful stories were not presented on CNBC.
Like the Virginiapsychologist whos husbands porn addiction led him to abandon her and their five children.
Writing in the National Review, she recounted that her man hooked up with an unemployed alcoholic with all the physical qualities of a porn star bleached blonde hair, heavy makeup, provocative clothing, and big breasts.
She was convinced that her former husband succumbed to the allure of the secret fantasy life he had been indulging since adolescence. And she cited several studies backing up her conclusion that porn alters behavior.
What I find most compelling about her testimony was her conclusion that porn gives the impression that aberrant sexual practices are more common than they really are, and that promiscuous behavior is normal.
Michael Leahy, author of Porn Nation, offered the perspective of a wayward husband, whose youthful porn habit led an adult sex addiction.
It took losing my 15-year-marriage, he lamented, my boys, my job, my affair partner, any hopes of reconciliation with and re-marrying (my former wife), and a whole lot of money to hit rock bottom. Thats what it took to finally get my attention.
Leahy now devotes himself to travelling around the country, evangelizing against the evil of pornography.
Then there is Sophia Lynn, who starred in porn films to make money to support herself and her child after a divorce, she told ABC News.
She was delivered from the supposed business of pleasure with the intercession of Heather Veitch, an ex-stripper turned Christian evangelist. Lynn gave her life to Christ and took a job as a church secretary in Sioux Falls,S.D.
This is like a dream, said the former porn star. I feel like my life has been saved.
The testimonies of the Virginia psychologist, of Leahy and of Lynndispel the myth that porn is an innocent, victimless vice.
It is a blight upon America. It is a tool of the ruler of this fallen world, whom, the Scripture warns, is like a roaring lion, seeking whom he can devour.
Correction:
“Public virtue is not an option.”
Should have been:
“Public virtue is not optional.”
Quite a difference, eh? My apologies for the error.
In your opinion, the axioms you think of are universal. In the opinion of the Islamists, the different axioms of Sharia law are universal. In the opinion of Communist regimes, the Marxist axioms are universal.
You are a postmodern then? No such thing as universal truth? You really don’t believe the prohibition to murder is a universal axiom of civilized society? Really?
What caused the rampage of crime is attributable less to a loosening of taboos against porn, and more to the welfare state and its effect on men on the low end of the bell curve.
Before the welfare state, lower-class men had a purpose. They worked. They supported a wife and family, even if very modestly. A prison term would preclude a respectable life, so that was a disincentive against crime.
Now, there's welfare. Women lost interest in poor-but-honest men who could not provide better than what Uncle Sugar could give. Having part-time affairs with thugs was more exciting. A thug with cash could take her places, while grandma stayed home with the kids, supported by welfare.
If being an honest man does not get you the love and respect of a good woman, and the joy of living with your kids, then there is far less incentive to be an honest man.
The following article is worth posting in full-It shows the demonic possessed Rockefellers and their foundation involvement funding Kinsey .
The Kinsey Report: How a Rockefeller Funded Study Laid the Groundwork For Todays Moral and Cultural Collapse

Henry Makow | August 10 2004
What kind of man is this?
He is fastidious about his appearance, his home and his possessions. He wants as much sex as possible and chooses sexual partners mostly on the basis of appearance. He is self-absorbed and doesnt want emotional involvement or commitment. He thinks a woman would stifle him and children would be a burden.
Does this sound like many gays? It is also the masculine ideal purveyed by Playboy magazine to men since the 1950s.
The essence of manhood is to lead and support a family. But in 1972, 3 out of 4 male college students got their ideas about masculinity from Playboy, at an incalculable price to themselves, women, children and society.
The similarity between the Playboy and homosexual ideal is no coincidence. The Kinsey Report (1948) shaped current mainstream attitudes to sex. It championed unfettered sexual expression and became the manifesto of the counterculture. It inspired Hugh Hefner to start Playboy in 1953.
Essentially The Kinsey Report said that aberrant sexual behavior was so common as to be normal. Thanks to psychologist Dr. Judith Reisman, we now know that Alfred Kinsey was a homosexual and the Kinsley Report was a fraud.
Kinsey, a University of Indiana zoologist, pretended to be a Conservative family man. In fact, he seduced his male students and forced his wife and associates to perform in homemade pornographic films. To prove that children have legitimate sexual needs. Kinsey and his fellow pedophiles either abused 2,000 infants and children and/or relied on data obtained in Nazi concentration camps. (Judith Reisman, Kinsey: Crimes and Consequences, 1998, p.312)
Reisman concludes: Americas growing libidinous pathologies...taught in schools...and reflected in our fine and popular arts, the press, law and public policy largely mirror the documented sexual psychopathologies of the Kinsey team itself.
Sponsored by the Rockefeller Foundation, Kinseys goal was to supplant what he saw as a narrow procreational Judeo Christian era with a promiscuous anything goes bi/gay pedophile paradise. Reisman, Crafting Gay Children: An Inquiry, p.4 He cruised Times Square looking for subjects. More than 25% of his sample were prostitutes and prison inmates including many sex offenders. Kinsey, who died prematurely of disease associated with impotence and self-mutilation (orchitis, Reisman p. 278), said 10 per cent of American men were gay when in fact only two per cent were.
Hugh Hefner said the Kinsey Report produced a tremendous sexual awakening, largely because of media attention... This shows how the elite orchestrates social change using media hype. (See Reisman, Kinsey, p.307)
With messianic fervor, Playboy took its gospel of sexual freedom to the American male who in the 1950s-1960s still consecrated sex for marriage. Playboys aim, the aim of all pornographers, was to hook men on the glossy fantasy. To do this, they had to prevent them from finding true satisfaction in marriage.
In Reismans words, Playboy was the first national magazine to exploit college mens fears of women and family commitment. Playboy offered itself as a reliable, comforting substitute for monogamous heterosexual love. (Judith Reisman, Soft Porn Plays Hardball, p 47)
Thus sworn enemies, Playboy and radical feminists, found common ground in hatred of the nuclear family. As a result, society now suffers from epidemics of family breakdown, pornography, impotence, child sexual abuse, sadosexual violence, teen pregnancy, a cocktail of STDs and, of course, AIDS. The birthrate has plummeted by 50% since 1960 and is barely at replacement level.
Homosexuality is a developmental disorder defined by the failure to establish a permanent bond with a member of the opposite sex. Psychologist Richard Cohen, in Coming Out Straight: Understanding and Healing Homosexuality (2000) argues it is caused when a male child fails to bond with his father. By having sex with men, the adult gay is trying to compensate for father-love denied in adolescence.
Cohen was gay and is now married with three children. He attributes lesbianism to a womans reaction to being rebuffed or abused by her father. He has assisted hundreds of homosexuals, but is under constant attack for undermining the gay political agenda, (i.e. to redefine societal norms.)
Psychiatrist Jeffrey Satinover has pointed to another cause of homosexuality. A 1990 survey of 1000 gays shows that an older or more powerful partner physically assaulted 37% of them before the age of 19. (Homosexuality and American Public Life, 1999, p.24). In addition, according to Anne Moir in Why Men Dont Iron, some men may be born gay due to foetal hormone imbalances. They seem to be a minority.
For many decades, gays were told that they were sick and cruelly and wrongly persecuted. The gay activist solution: convince the world that, in fact, it is heterosexuals who are sick. In 1973, they bullied the American Psychological Association into proclaiming homosexuality normal. Together with feminist activists (who believe heterosexuality is inherently oppressive) gay activists began to dismantle all heterosexual institutions: masculinity, femininity, marriage, the nuclear family, the boy scouts, sports, and the military.
Backed by the financial elite, gay activists and their supporters now largely dictate our cultural sensibility. They are responsible for the puerile pornographic obsession that pervades television, music videos and the Internet. This state of arrested human development is characteristic of many homosexuals. But straights have been homosexualized too. With women acting like men, and vice versa, we cant establish a permanent bond with a member of the opposite sex either. The elites purpose is to promote social dysfunction and depopulation. See Feminism and the Elite Depopulation Agenda.
Gay liberation manuals talk about normalizing their sexuality and de-sensitizing straights by flaunting it. I was livid when I took my 10-year-old son to see Adam Sandlers movie Billy Madison and heard one teenage male youth in the film casually ask another: Would you rather bone Pamela Anderson or a young Jack Nicholson?
Last week, on TVs Will and Grace, Jack who is gay dons an apron that says Kiss the cook pretending he thought the second o was a c. Just as Communists once conned do-gooders to think radicalism was chic, gay activists define trendy for gullible liberals today.
Gay and feminist activists think traditional morality was invented to perpetuate an unjust status quo. In fact, morality is the accumulated wisdom of mankind regarding what is healthy and ultimately fulfilling. Perversion is deviation from what is healthy.
Heterosexual morality places sex in the context of love and/or marriage because it is healthy and human. It ensures that the most profound and intimate physical act between two people expresses a commensurate emotional-spiritual bond. Promiscuous sex is a desperate plea for love. Love and marriage answer that call and provide for the natural and necessary outcome of sex, children.
With Hugh Hefners help, Alfred Kinsey detached sex from love and procreation. He reduced it to another physical function like urinating. Homosexual activists champion anonymous sex: a majority of gays have 10s-100s of partners each year. In less extreme form, heterosexuals have adopted this model. Recently a social columnist enviously described straight friends whose relationships have ended: theyre out partying, having the time and the sex, it seems of their lives.
In conclusion, the sexual revolution was really a triumph of an elite program of arrested development. See also The CIA, Homosexuality and Underdevelopment. The elite agenda is to redefine healthy as deviant and vice-versa and they have succeeded. In 40 short years, almost all sexual constraints have dissolved and heterosexual society is reeling. The cultural and social breakdown will only get worse unless there is a counterrevolution.
Of course, the Rockefeller Foundation moved on to population control as well
Just one example...
The Rockefeller Foundation, the Population Council,
http://www.rockarch.org/publications/resrep/williams.pdf
I believe the Rockefeller foundation has killed more people than Hitler and others and is one of the most deplorable and evil organizations in human history
If you look at the murders by blacks, most of them appear to be criminal-on-criminal. Being in a gang is an inherently dangerous activity, and involves killing to protect your turf, and to enforce sanctions against betrayal in situations where suing the other guy is not an option.
For somebody who cannot get laid unless he has more cash than McDonalds will provide, crime becomes increasingly attractive.
good post (even though it is disgusting)
Yes and yes.
What caused the rampage of crime is attributable less to a loosening of taboos against porn, and more to the welfare state and its effect on men on the low end of the bell curve.
It would be very different if the cost of supporting each new welfare recipient was imposed as a special assessment on each of her neighbors in a one block radius. You would see some serious sanctions being imposed on her and her lifestyle at that point.
Excellent points. :)
