This is the figure to chew on… Pornography has become a $57 billion industry worldwide. It produces more revenue in the United States than the combined revenues of all pro-football, baseball and basketball franchises or the combined revenue of ABC, CBS, & NBC.
It robs the workplace of the time and talents of employees. 20% of men admit accessing porn at work, 13% of women.
One in five children ages 10-17 has received a sexual solicitation over the internet.
Three million of the visitors to adult websites in Sept. 2000 were age 17 and younger.
It is a huge problem that is taking men and women of all ages captive, including those who call themselves followers of Christ. Yet nobody wants to talk about it until its too late when a marriage ruined, a career ended, a life damaged and a mind corrupted.
Is there help, is there a way out of the bondage?
As I recommend this WEBSIGHT I realize that most of the trouble is on the Internet (because of its secrecy and accessibility) but there is help there if you GO TO THIS SIGHT AND NO OTHERS.

But don’t stop there! Get with another man, a godly friend you can talk with and open up exposing light to the darkness.
‘Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed. For the effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much.“
James 5:16
