I've been leading a double twisted life pretending to be a true Christian, but I've kept a secret cache of porn. I nuked it. this is my confession to you Gentleman, in the hope that the Lord of Life will not pass me by.

What's porn got to do with Jesus? He can have my library when he pry's it from my cold, dead hands [;D]
|
|
Damn Wolfpack, if your hands are that cold you can't be having too much fun with it anyway!
|
|
Jesus was a man....I'm sure he would have been proud of your vast collection of porn. What normal guy wouldn't?
It's the whole kookie "son of god" thing that I find so disturbing. |
|
grimshaw, me and Steyr would have been glad to take it off your hands! Me and him are good sinners [;D]
|
|
Well at least you could have let one of us hold it for you (I case you change your mind !)
|
|
Porn shall set you free. BTW check out my posts in the Lodge forum over on the ak.ar15.com site

I'm sure it was an accident. And you know, nothing is ever really "deleted" on a computer anyways. So if you REALLY want to, you can have it all back. Unless of course, "nuking" means you took youe C drive out, drilled holes in it, doused it with lighter fluid, then set it ablaze! Then your screwed.

Congratulations grimshaw. Thanks to you, somewhere, Lordtrader is dressed in black, rocking on the floor, and wailing in grief!

Good job, now your not contributing to the perverting of young women.

Damn, I got web porn saved on my computer from as far back as 1994 when I first got on the web. Some of the sites no longer exist, others have gone to charging (ah, the days when porn was almost always free).
Dude, get a copy of Ontrack EasyRecovery and install it on another computer, hook the 2 computers together with a hub, switch, or crossover cable. Now, go to run and type \\~Computer's Name~\C$\Program Files\Ontrack\~rest of address~ Have it scan your hard drive, then send the recovered files to the share on the other system \\~Computer Name~\C$\recovered_porn. Now, burn to a CD and mail to me. E-mail me for an address. Or, if you have a Broadband connection, install IIS and set up the home directory of you Default Web Site to your recovered porn directory. Then, click to allow anonymous access, then select your IP Addy from the list and email me you IP addy. If your ISP doesn't allow servers change the port number to 8080. |

There is porn on the net? I thought it was just guns and politics[;)]
|

I admit I nuked my porn too, but that was after I burned it all to CD to save for posterity.
There should be a law against throwing away perfectly good porn. |

Grimshaw, you are taking a large step of faith, from a man controlled by the desires of the flesh to reining in the flesh to being controlled by yourself with GOD's help.
You have my admiration, and prayers. Dave |

There is an online course that helps with this. Here's the link [url]http://www.settingcaptivesfree.com/home/[/url]

Grim -
I applaud your decision. After all, everyone one of them was "somebody's little girl." But keep in mind - Scripturally, the "Lord of life" will NOT "pass you by" in the salvation sense, because of indulgence in porn. Salvation is effected by Jesus Christ thru faith. Once saved, indulgence in porn only serves to displease the one who "loved us and gave Himself for us." If we love Him, we will keep His commandments (thru His power, to the best of our ability.) |

Please do not be offended if I do not shake your hand. On second thought, I guess it would be safe now.

Hey, I got rid of my porn too...after I got bored with it. Then I got some fresh porn. God bless file sharing!

Are you actually so week willed that everytime YOU see a picture of a booby YOU feel compelled to "pervert young women." . View Quote Auggie - I agree with you in principle, but I do beleive there is a bit stronger visual connection between porn and sexuality, than there is between guns and murder. its NEVER an excuse, and people SHOULD be in control of themselves, always. But EVERY man that sees porn SHOULD be stimulated sexually (if yer not, there's suttin wrong wit' you [;)] ), as God (I beleive) created the female physical form in such a fashion that it would stimulate male sexual urges, FOR THE PROPAGATION OF THE HUMAN RACE, in accordance with God's plan. That sexual desire was to be satisfied WITHIN the marriage union. I DO NOT think you can say that EVERY man who sees a gun should desire to murder, in accordance with God's plan. Seeing naked women creates a demand for sexuality - that's the way God intended it. But porn creates a demand that frequently CANNOT be "supplied" in a legitimate way. So, I'm hesitant to say "Porn causes rape" cuz I beleive in individual responsibility. Yet, the above remains true - porn creates a demand that frequently CANNOT satisfied in a legitimate way. Thoughts??? |

I deleted two posts I had authored in another part of this board, but haven't gone through all my responses there yet. Maybe a mod can do that? I know there are some more. I had a bunch on floppies and on the harddrive. It's all gone. |

However I did name my rifle "KIM".
What if it was shaped like a woman? Would you rape your rifle? lol Doubt it. |

I applaud your decision to nuke the crap off your computer. It has been my sad experience to witness several times the destructive results of this addiction.
Not going to say much more about it other than garandman is right. Jesus will not pass you by over this, all it takes is personally resting in the facts of who He is and what He did for you. I accidently found a box of my dad's porn cached in a closet when I was 11 years old looking for old toys. It changed my life, stole my innocence, corrupted my whole view of women, sex, and caused me years of pain. But God forgave, and restored, and is still restoring, and now I am blessed with a beautiful wife who is loving, understanding, patient, and a little 5 year old boy. And I am going to protect his innocence and prepare him for the snares out there the best I can. And if anyone ever shows my boy porn you don't want to know what I will do. This stupid justification of porn enrages me. It is the epitomy of all the selfish, self centered, self indulgent behavior that is taking our country down the sewer. And I was part of it for a long time. But that is the cost of living in a free society, I wouldn't want to change that but that doesn't mean I, a free American can't call it what it is. It's CRAP!!! Alan Keys said it best on this subject. We are free to choose our behavior, but we are not free to choose the conequences of our behavior. Don't be decieved and foolish, there are consequences for this behavior. Check out this thread and just try to guess what starts this crap. http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?id=105523 patsue |

G'man, try this...
If you cannot see a naked woman without being urged to commit a crime then YOU are the problem, not the naked woman. If anyone is that incredibly weak they should not be walking around loose. |
|
What patsue said.
ALtho, I can WHOLEHEARTEDLY admit to the deceptive and insidious nature of pornography, and how it entraps men. It takes a BEAUTIFUL thing, the female form, and sexual enjoyment of it in the beneficial constraints of marriage, and turns it into a cheap $5.00 a magazine hobby. While having kept my porn exposure to absolute human minimum (and asking God for help after I've reached the end of myself) I can freely admit to having STRONG desire for it. But God is greater... |

If anyone is that incredibly weak they should not be walking around loose. View Quote It's not so much the outright crimes against womenz that occur (rape, sexual assault, etc.) surrounding porn, though they do occur to some extent. Rather it's the debasing and over-sexualization of normal male/female relationships in our society that is the corroding aspect of porn. To say that feeding yourself pornographic images every day doesn't corrupt and over-sexualize your view of all attractive women is like saying watching Jerry Springer and soap operas every day has no effect on your cognitive or imaginative abilities. I'd like anyone to admit that they "use" porn regularly yet never try to imagine a young hottie they see at the park or store naked or imagine them "workin' hard" on you like the chick you just saw in the pornoflick the night before. Also, unless you shoot guns at pictures of people so often that you can't walk through the malls or streets without constantly visualizing bulls-eyes on everyone you see, then the analogy to guns is phoney. Porn changes (profanes) the way we view women - more towards sexualizing them - causes too many men to be hyperaware of the female body to the point of crudeness - and debases how women view themselves too. THAT is the insidious damage done in our society through the acceptance/celebration of porn. The denial I see here is equal only to what's heard at the inpatient wards of a methadone clinic. |

View Quote I can't disagree more...... so looking at porn makes you "undress" the hottie on the other side of the street with your eyes? Give me a break! Any male with a pulse has sexual thoughts of good looking women whether we look at porn or not. Secondly the presence of porn in todays society doesn't make men more sexual or "horny"....hell I think looking at porn and doing you know what reduces the urge. As for the daddy's little girl thing....these aren't innocent school girls....they know what they are doing and if there is a "problem" with porn then they deserve blame also. |

Quoted: G'man, try this... If you cannot see a naked woman without being urged to commit a crime then YOU are the problem, not the naked woman. View Quote Thanks for the tip - I'll try it. [:D] But that's kinda the point, crime don't happen cuz someone sees a naked woman. They happen becasue someone DELIBERATELY CHOOSES to indulge themselves in porn, kindling the fires of passion to a red hot glow. Given that most of the civilized world acknowledges that the sex drive is one of the strongest desires in mankind, it is playing with fire to inflame it with porn, with no legitimate means of satisfying the desire. It would be like chambering a round in a rifle, with the safety off, in a crowded room. Nothing beneficial is going to happen - only bad things. If anyone is that incredibly weak they should not be walking around loose. View Quote |
