accompanying us will be our wives and pastors to make sure that we are not checking out the other booths.
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!
Is taking his wife with him to a porn convention necessarily harmful to her? Maybe she's already seen all of that stuff before, and repented. In that case, she's probably as strong as he is, and I'm sure it's her choice do go, I doubt a man professing to be an anti-porn Christian would drag his wife to a porn convention.
