A lot of people think that porn is victimless.
But somebody appears in it. And I have to believe
they do not walk away unscathed.
Good point. We do indeed agree on that. I would welcome Protestants' (or "anybody's) participation 95% of the time. It's the 5% who hijack the thread that really aggravate me.
So that's a done deal. You may as well jump in at this point with your "You worship Mary" cut-and-pastes.
Just as the B-52s were being recalled you have to post this.
Back to the Fail-Safe points I guess.
I agree, Brother Buck.
And I would add that even if there's no actual human "porn star" (say it's a CGI or a sexbot or an anime) it does not leave the viewer unscathed, either. It is internally defiling.
This is because it impresses a stimulus-response pattern on sexuality in such a way that it can render the viewer unmarriageable. Why? Because he can't relate fully to a real flesh-and-blood-and-heart-and-soul beloved woman.
There's always a third party in the bed: the hyper-stimulating obscene image. The porn he's partnered with.
Tagline.
Sorry, Mrs. D, but it sure looks like the sentence was deliberately omitted so as to avoid making it an OPEN Religion Forum thread. The OP article goes on with subsequent paragraphs pasted in and the only difference was this sentence that would disqualify the Caucus label. I'll take your word for it that you did so inadvertently, but the suspicion is deserved.
AKA - poisoning the well
The last sentence of a paragraph just ups and disappears on its own?
Ive posted enough articles myself and I have never seen a whole sentence delete itself when I copy and paste the article.
Even when I copy just paragraphs out of an article, it takes deliberate action to leave out an entire sentence.
Are you not aware that when posting a thread, if the article mentions other faiths, it disqualifies it from the caucus label?
I find it very coincidental that the sentence that deleted itself just happened to be the one that mentions Protestanism.
My Dad used to leave Playboy magazines around and both my brothers went on to have “issues” with pornography. Both have been married more than twice, have cheated on their wives, have molested family members, etc. It was a terrible example that perpetuated immorality.
Get a grip.
ONE comment by a person is not beating a dead horse.
From Personal MessagesI am such a technotard, this is embarrassing.FR was up this morning when I started online.
I omitted the sentence *deliberately* to avoid exactly this kind of aggravation. Then realized it was pointless since, either way, I *still* couldnt use the Caucus designation. I opened up in another tab and hence the two versions. Then my screen went white.
I was bummed out because at that point I thought I had sent them both. FR went down briefly- but how long I do not know, maybe just a flicker. I growled, and hit Reset thinking it might be something wrong with my computer --- which it might have been - and went and got my coffee. And when I came back, FR was up again.
So I thought "What the heck, leave good enough alone." That was my mistake.
As I said before, I do not mind anyone contacting the mod to remove the Caucus label. That in itself would have been helpful. I should have jumped in and done it myself. However, if somebody else jumps in, I don't mind it one bit.
What I don't like is hostile accusation and baiting. You haven't generally reacted that way,. I very much appreciate your good will.
I've seen this stuff happen, and it makes my heart hurt.
Do NOT continue to ping me to every comment you make.

A myth perpetuated in every other movie depicting that era.
Me: I used to think like that.
Liberal: What happened?
Me: I turned 14.
LOL. You were so precocious!
This is actually a beautiful post. Thanks. And if he makes any mistakes before marriage, he knows how to seek forgiveness and he will be forgiven. I understand the power of the Catholic Church. In Europe in college I would get up early on SUNDAY as a Jew and go down to the 11th century cathedral just to hear the music and the Latin and the smells etc. I may not have converted but I see the power of Gd in that religion. We earthly people need to use our senses to get holier. We are not angels. We are of the earth. Hes on the right path.
From Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis:
Enemy-occupied territory that is what this world is. Christianity is the story of how the rightful king has landed, you might say landed in disguise, and is calling us all to take part in a great campaign of sabotage. When you go to church you are really listening in to the secret wireless from our friends: that is why the enemy is so anxious to prevent us from going. He does it by playing on our conceit and laziness and intellectual snobbery.
