This group misrepresents themselves as porn junkies to try to lure real porn junkies to their site. Their purpose is actually not to hang out with the porn stars, but to MINISTER to them.
Jan 9-13 Mike and Craig will be at the Adult-Expo in Las Vegas. This is the annual porn show that shows all the new stuff going on in the adult entertainment industry. All kinds of porn sites will be there as well as everything else under the sun. And we mean everything else under the sun. There will be tens of thousands of people attending the show and media from all over the country will be there covering it. Xxxchurch will have a booth giving away balloons that read “the #1 christian porn site" and have "Rex the Rabbit" handing out xxxchurch promotional materials. We will have the opportunity to talk to thousands of people in the industry and to show the love of Christ.I think you fell for their deception, but that's what they want. They want regular, straightlaced Christians to be mad at them, so young people will think they have credibility.We want to stress that we are not going to the show to protest or to judge the folks attending the expo. We will not be waving signs or picketing. That’s not our gig. We will simply be representing our ministry in a professional and respectable manner and be a part of the show. We feel that it is incredibly important to handle this ministry with integrity and not to go down the easy road of protest and finger pointing. We are about solutions, not problems.
By the way, accompanying us will be our wives and pastors to make sure that we are not checking out the other booths. (you know what we mean) We covet your prayers as we attend this show.

I hadn't read this part. While I still think their intentions are good, they are doing some harm to themselves and their families by going this far.
Any man that would take his wife to a place like this shows no respect for her. Yes, I understand it is for accountability purposes, but you cannot walk in there blind. You will inadvertently see some pretty sick stuff, which you are now exposing your family to. This shows me that they have their priorities somewhat out of whack. While they are noble to try to minister to porn addicts this way, they are telling their wives that the junkies are more important than they (the wives) are. What is more important, saving lost souls who you don't know or making sure your family gets into heaven?
Tough call, but a man's first ministry is his own family. You cannot sacrifice your family to save others (you can choose to sacrifice yourself, but not others).
Since reading that these men are bringing their wives to a porn convention (good intentions or no), I have lost mucho respect for them.
Run the website, yes. Go and mingle at the convention with your family, heck no!
In other words, they're liars. What did the Romans say about that? Falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus, wasn't it?
