My Response to Porn Sunday

This is the email I sent to my pastor and the other leaders in my church as a response to him asking for our thoughts on participating in Porn Sunday. (See posts below for more info on that.)
My reply email had a picture posted at the top. It is of Wally the Weiner which you can see by clicking HERE. (I didn't feel it appropriate to post the pic on my blog, but I did include it in my email to the pastor.)

My intent with my reply was to be as "in your face" as the guys of XXXchurch.

To Quote Wally the Weiner..."Do you have the balls to" do this?

I understand that pornography is a very serious issue, and that it is a tool Satan uses to attack the Church. I'm just not sure that the person struggling with the issue needs to have images as the one above thrown up in their faces. To help recovering alcoholics do we tour local bars?

I looked around the site and viewed some videos/trailers and read some of the material. I admire the mission, but I'm not sold on the method. I think the upcoming talks on pornography will most likely cover a lot of the same statistical information that the xxxchurch.com shares about the dangers and traps of pornography, and hopefully will offer constructive methods to meet this problem head on...without Wally the Weiner's help, or by using
Missionary Positions.

If I say "don't think about purple elephants dancing in yellow polka-dotted tutus" what do you naturally think of?

Let's pray more, and focus on loving God and loving others.

I let you know my thoughts.
