Comments on: Porn: like scooping fire into your lap! http://thelakes.net.au/2009/06/22/porn-like-scooping-fire-into-your-lap/ A Bible Teaching Christian Church on the NSW Central Coast Australia Tue, 22 May 2012 09:27:14 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: StewartK http://thelakes.net.au/2009/06/22/porn-like-scooping-fire-into-your-lap/comment-page-1/#comment-517 StewartK Tue, 09 Mar 2010 00:43:50 +0000 http://thelakes.net.au/?p=2593#comment-517 You may or may not have noticed the latest Outreach Poster. It's targeting the despair involved for those caught up in Internet Pornography. Why is Outreach Media focusing on Internet Pornography in March? Because Internet pornography is dramatically changing community behaviour and standards. What's different about Internet pornography is the triple 'A' threat. More and more people are slipping into watching pornography and struggling because online pornography lacks accountability, it's anonymous and it's so accessible. The sex industry is now a $100 + billion industry. But what about internet pornography? Well, there are all sorts of statistics on its scope and scale. But who really knows? Certainly its income is in the billions. However, the telling statistic comes from Google. Currently one quarter of all Google searches are now for pornography. These days Google doesn't readily reveal total search figures. But last year a research group called comScore estimated that Google handled 235 million searches a day in July. The latest statistics on gender usage may surprise. Internet Pornography is not an exclusively male thing. In fact, usage splits 70% male and 30% female. And the effects of Internet pornography are being felt in churches. (from Outreach Media) You may or may not have noticed the latest Outreach Poster.

Sounds like a great book. I will have to check it out. A book that I found to be very helpful is a book titled, "Love and Pornography" written by <a href="http://gethelpwithporn.com/about/" rel="nofollow"> Victoria Prater and Garry Prater. </a> I really enjoyed this book because it is written by two people (a couple) who have personally gone through this challenge and have lived to overcome it to help others through these same struggles. I for one am grateful that there are people out there writing books to help others overcome this addiction. It is a difficult addiction to overcome. Thanks for the tip Jeremy.

It deals with practical situations and can be read in under an hour. - a must for guys! (and girls who want to understand guys). I highly recommend the ‘Porn again Christian’ Book.
