Just as Facebook is a social farce, pornography falsely satisfies and only aids in loneliness and discontent. From there, an insatiable appetite for empty calories.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5870293485909575225.post-9300732907887149952012-02-23T18:29:07.081-05:002012-02-23T18:29:07.081-05:00I just ran across this post.

I fought that battle and lost it; he simply refused to believe it was harmful and, incredibly, declared it helpful - even though a secular counselor, setting aside the question of right and wrong, tried to point out the damage.

Thank you so much for you comment. Not only do I consider Russian Orthodox belief to be a very beautiful one, but I have found it has so many similarities with my religion. It feels like we are fighting an uphill battle with pornography. I am so grateful that my religion clearly defines it as a sin and an addiction that can tear families apart. Thanks for your beautiful and humble thoughts.janeytophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13905879670438517095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5870293485909575225.post-84331773065793948272010-01-29T08:26:13.731-05:002010-01-29T08:26:13.731-05:00Luke,

My niece is doing well, even though the chemotherapy makes her ill; at least she did not have the pain in her legs this last go round. The dr.'s say the tumor is getting softer already, a very good sign. They will add radiation to her treatment beginning Monday.<br /><br />My niece is an inspiration to many, as she radiates heaven on her joyful face!amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07418701204573873745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5870293485909575225.post-58020239581298860162010-01-19T15:43:24.026-05:002010-01-19T15:43:24.026-05:00What a critical topic, and a difficult topic. Yes,...What a critical topic, and a difficult topic. Yes, women and men suffer the consequences. Unfortunately, we as Christians don’t want to look behind the obvious. There is a great emotional and spiritual craving, which the sexual lust exploits. Turning off the pornography is only part of the answer... as you mention, the images last much longer, especially for men. Even that has challenges because of the easy access to pornography. <br /><br />Second, unless the underlying emotional and spiritual cracks in the foundations are not addressed, it will be a haphazard attempt. Scriptural intake, advice of Christian friends who understand that black hole of pornography addiction, and prayer are all essential. <br /><br />It is a tough row to hoe. Thanks for bringing it to light.Richhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10547887795289485297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5870293485909575225.post-60821553273821442092010-01-18T16:04:20.648-05:002010-01-18T16:04:20.648-05:00I like the illustration.
