THE PROBLEM OF PORNO

AT PUBLIC LIBRARIES,
...so I'm sitting here @ B Library working on a project and the table I'm at happens to be right behind a public computer and a guy looking at pic after pic of naked or near-naked women and also various sexual images.....its clear as day from where I'm sitting...
now I'm a heterosexual man myself and like woman, but I'm also a Christian and don't like to see women exploited for their bodies only, and am also concerned about the effect that non-stop porno viewing has on people such as this fellow...and what about kids in the library ? this is a serious issue.. not to say the body is bad,,,in fact the body is GOOD, God made Adam & Eve and said it was "good"...

The problem isn't the body, nor the naked body, nor is the problem sexuality or sex in general (and since he's not looking at homosexual images I don't need to discuss that here)...the problem is just the "raw" gazing upon anonymous images,

...one after another, looking them up & down and all around without any shame..and also if it takes young men away from reality..from the healthy desire for the REAL THING Rather than pics of it.

Of course in liberal society today if women, as well, are afraid of the REAL THING its a "vicious spiral"...and when I speak of the real thing I mean in a committed relationship...
http://romanticpoems4all.com/romanticpoems22 .jpg
that's what is pleasing to God..."go and cleave" to another ( i.e. a person of the opposite sex)
"...a man shall leave his
father and mother ...
father and mother ...

Of course, I don't like libraries that have internet so obsessively triggered to block any & all websites that MIGHT contain "adult images" (but might not; at one library they block youtube and also a site named scribd which is mostly written documents, not a video site, and definitely not aimed towards adult content) ..so the body is good & sex is good, but lusting and adulterey in the heart is bad..but what about when u r still single and searching ? is it ok then ? I'm still not so sure its healthy. I don't even think a quality relationship should begin based solely on physical qualities. Maybe that's why we have a divorce problem in the USA . ..anyways, I also posted a video of me at a library facetiously being "tempted" by adult material on the website ("I confess..." ..with the point being to raise this matter as an issue of concern and to talk about it, online, and to give my theological viewpoint(s) as I also continue to grow and learn...and still, occassionally, yearn for a committed relationship with the right person of the opposite sex. God bless you all. Pray for those who are afflicted with demons of addiction...

...to porn or other material(s) (drugs, etc)...that keeps them constanly "pumped up" but not in touch with reality ...and not participating as citizens in trying to make this world a better place for everybody..ultimately, the incessant viewing or pornography (and especially those who "get off" on it, I.e. masturbate)...

..and ultimately the only way, but if that's not your cup of tea (coming to Christ involves commitment and work) there are other forms of treatment for addiction..

MAUNDY THURSDAY
search the web, you'll find it..be brave enough to ask for help...let us all keep growing either in faith or in citizenship or both and keep making this world a better place for all...both men & women..set aside your selfish habits that you may say is your "legal right" but nonetheless is harmful in some ways to the betterment of society..I invite you to take a new step today..for Christians...as we approach Easter three days from now..we are at the end Of Lent... and I hope u gave up something for a while..and if it was a selfish addiction don't go back to it...leave it behind forever..have courage, God will not let you down...!

4/2/11 NOTES FROM FINAL DAY, SESSION 2, 168 FILM FEST,
4/2/11
NOTES FROM FINAL DAY,
SESSION 2,
168 FILM FEST,
ALEX Theatre, GLENDALE, CA
thanks to http://www.collidemagazine.com for the above pic
(by the way, last year they specifically said in one of ther pubs "please take lots of pics"..now he just said for first time, "please no cams" (inside theatre) (later, he said take pics during their award ceremony and said pics during the movies don't come out anyways...well, in fact, they do turn out just fine... but i'm not taking any chances of uptight film people sending me angry messages, despite professing to be Christians (like last year when I tried to promote a few 168 films by showing clips of their vids; fortunately, most of the Christian film people did not object and seem to be sincere Christians.. but the guy who produced "In the Hands of Sinners" really came on very angry and overbearing re my posting of a clip of his film...which, ironically, in retrospect, I realize now was actually a criticism of Christianity, not pro-Christianity...thus he was an imposter in the 168 film fest...; ironically, there may be too many film makers who are overly eager to criticize the church & Christianity itself in their own re-make of what they think Christianity should be..to such film makers if you say you are Christian, then .just promote the Gospel, don't spend all your time being armchair quarterbacks re the church) ...(surprise appearance by actor erik estrada in "Inspector Sanchez"... to the founder and employees of 168 keep up the good work ..to nellie from the netherlands..nice chatting with you... remember me ? you recognized my name as Dutch.
4/2/11 NOTES FROM FINAL SESSION 2, 168 FILM FEST, ALEX THEATRE, GLENDALE, CA 120-3pm; .good 2nd session of films...here's some of the verbatim.. [this is unedited, incuding typos..last year I posted little clips of each vid, trying to promote the faith, & advance the kingdom..but I'm noticing more "copyright" claims at the end of these films...(I never understand "Christians" who claim copyrights on "Christian" material)...so I might not be posting vid clips..even tho I want to promote the faith..some of these "industry" people can be seriously uptight about this stuff (I remember a few messages from last year)...(which is a shame b/c the true Christians who want their stuff promoted for Kingdom purposes, may get left out..its too much of a danger for me..on YouTube..getting one more strike could lead to my entire 15,000 plus video website being shutdown) (the entire verbatim won't fit here so for all of it go to http://hwblog.posterous.com/4211-notes-from-2nd-session-final-day-168-chr. ;Here's my notes & some verbatim from the 2nd session: "Rapper..quick reminder..doesn't matter..u and your career..nobody buy a gospel ..contract..ur not coming back..stupid..id kill for your life..wrong house..dj trizz..xompilation..handed kets..blamin god..scr..y hgo yhis route..didn't want just what I wanted..now how I feel..let me spin a verse..this ain't just entertainment..this is ministry..gotta know god..take some time..looks like eminem..credit card declined..sleeping on couce.demise of o child..nack at nightclub..women..ochild..slot in beat feast ..be huge..o-child new rap..won't go back..like nothin I've ever done..freedom.. ------------------ Digging w.
