You’re welcome. Kind of a late response but better late then never : )
We just finished our treatment system for LDS members. It is completely focused on members of the church: http://pornstinks.com or http://helpldspornaddicts.com/
I just wanted to let people know because it is changing many lives. Wish everyone the best that is struggling with any kind of addiction because we understand that they are not wanted.

Addiction is a very real and powerful thing. I have seen it control some of my closest friends and family. I’ve seen it wreck marriages and create walls between people. Thus the reason why my brother and I have also created a website to hopefully help people become aware of how horrable addiction can be, as well as help people understand when they are addicted and how to overcome their addiction. We have information about pornography addiction as well as other substance abuse. We will continue to try and add new information from time to time. Thanks for your information and the fight against addiction. If you would like to visit our site and/or add our site in your Recommended Resources area or anywhere else on your site we would really appreciate it. Thanks for your site and information.

Hello, my name is Jason and I volunteer for SA Lifeline Foundation, a not for profit company located in Lehi, UT. You can find us online at salifeline.org. We work everyday to spread the word about Pornography / Sexual Addiction. We have found great success and joy in helping others overcome their addiction. In the process of setting up the foundation we became acquainted with Donald L. Hilton Jr., MD. Don is a top neurosurgeon from San Antonio, Texas. He has written a book entitled “He Restoreth my Soul”. It is an amazing book that details the problem, and provides hope for recovery. The angle Don takes is unique because of his medical background. To date we have sold 17,000 books most of which have gone to Bishops, Stake Presidents, and ARP Missionaries. The book is available at all LDS retailers.

The reason I am explaining all of this to you, is because we need your help. We are currently reaching out to blogs and website like yours asking that you provide some kind of information to your readers about the book, and or our foundation. If it would help I can put you in touch with our founders Steven and Rhyll Croshaw. They can explain more about their efforts, and the efforts of the foundation. Steven and Rhyll recently featured were in the Out in the light documentary that was shown immediately following the last conference session. Please let me know if you have any interest in helping us continue to reach out to those that struggle with this unfortunate addiction.

This is really cool. I am so glad to see the society beginning to have a raised awareness of this horrible problem.

We need something similar to “The Unconvenient Truth” but in terms of porn addiction, in order to raise awareness.

I really hope this movie will do just that.

Thanks for this page and all the good stuff on your blog. May God bless you for your efforts to make a joyful noise that can be heard around the world. I specialize in helping people with pornography problems, but the problem is so huge, we need a million other voices like yours to rally behind this cause. So thanks again for what you are doing. If you or any of your readers want to see the program I use you can check out my blog at: http://wholesomelives.wordpress.com. I have about a 90% success rate in helping addicts be free of all desire for porn – usually in just 2 or 3 months – so I am excited to help anyone I can who has been struggling endlessly with this problem.

God bless you!
Dr. Arden Compton

cwtpmom – Wow. That’s quite a deep and interesting subject to ponder. Websters dictionary states three main definitions for Pornography:

1. the depiction of erotic behavior (as in pictures or writing) intended to cause sexual excitement

2 : material (as books or a photograph) that depicts erotic behavior and is intended to cause sexual excitement

3 : the depiction of acts in a sensational manner so as to arouse a quick intense emotional reaction

Someone with a “religious pornography” addiction could definitely fall into #3.

This was a very good presentation, one that every person should read. It made me wonder, is there such a thing as religious pornography? Outside of the church people chase after a false belief in God, not that God has moved, but without correct understanding of who He is, you can chase hard after him, and no matter what you find, it is never quite satisfying. You experience let down after let down, yet you keep the chase going. I have found through my participation on other Christian websites, an almost insatiable lust, an over focus, where people become so God centered, that they lose focus on things around them that really matter. This quote from, e4unity "Not whether all things are centered in, related to, dependent on, destined for and exist to glorify God, but whether some expressions of Christianity can become so God-focused that the significance of what is not God- including all things in human experience- are devalued and even distorted to the point of confusion in the minds of God loving/God believing people." This comes from trying to separate the secular from the sacred, rather than blend them. Hence, my coining of the tag, "religious pornography", though it may be a little harsh.

Thank you for posting an uplifting, informational message about pornography. It is so easy to get discouraged when it seems to poison so many relationships and homes--thank you for the reminder that there is always hope in the Savior. Information on Pornography Addiction
