Let
me tell you how I got involved with this subject. I have
been married for thirty five years, have my own business,
and my kids are grown. I have been a Christian for 24 years,
been a missionary, home school parent-the whole nine yards.I
would have thought that I was porn proof!
I got onto the Internet about 10 years ago the same as most
of us. I needed the net for my business and plus it was
simply fascinating. Along the way I was being bombarded
with emails and advertisements for Internet sex. We have
all seen them-hot teens! Girls girls girls!. I finally got
curious and clicked on one of the links and I was blown
away by the raw sexual material provided absolutely free.
Well I can tell you that I got off that site as quickly
as I could! What if anybody saw that stuff on my computer
not to mention what my wife would think!
The next day I was back on the net and I was drawn to have
another look, so I did . Again I was shocked and angry.
The next day I was back again and again and again. You get
the picture....I suddenly was confronted with my own self.
What would happen to my reputation-my Christian influence?
What would happen to my marriage, what would this say to
my kids-my prayer life? The answer was obvious. So what
could I do- get off the Internet? Amazingly the same day
that the Lord was speaking to me on the subject, my web
master for my business site walked in and asked if I had
ever heard of internet filtering?(he didn't even know what
I was struggling with). He explained that filtering could
keep one out of porn sites. Unfortunately at the time there
were no filtered providers accessible from my city. Since
I couldn't get it, I decided to provide it. The result was
Wisechoice.net ."
Does
this mean that I am now "cured" of the desire
to access porn? Absolutely not-however having a filter on
my computer has removed the constant onslaught of porn sites
and removed the easy temptation just to click and......Let's
get real, when people say they are struggling with something,
in this case internet porn, it means that they are doing
it. Wake up to what is happening.
Psychiatrists
say that internet porn stimulates the same areas of the
brain as crack cocaine. They also say that the three "A's"
of internet porn make it even easier to get into trouble.
The first A is accessibility (anyone with a computer and
internet connection has access). The second A is Affordability
(as we all know you can surf to millions of pornographic
images for absolutely no cost.) The third is Anonymity (
No one can see us. We lock ourselves in the office or the
back room, stay up late after our spouses are in bed and
spend hours gorging on porn). Does it sound like I have
been there?
So
let's get real, are we willing to lose our marriages or
jobs over this junk? Internet porn is now the leading cause
of divorce in America surpassing financial strain. Take

and see what others are going through
Please don't ignore or minimize the danger of internet porn.

Other
stories from our customers
One of our customers told me that she discovered that her
husband was into Internet porn when he wouldn’t visit
her while she was in labor in the hospital with her fourth
child- it turned out that he was back at the home gorging
on Internet pornography-their marriage was shattered.
Another customer told me that he spent 1000 hours on Internet
porn last year. That works out to forty 24 hour days- over
a month of Internet porn out of a year. It cost him his
marriage, his job and his position in the community.
A
local pastor and friend of mine, a good man and powerful
leader in the Christian community-had his ministry destroyed
after it was discovered that he had been accessing internet
pornography.
People don't plan to get involved with internet pornography,
suddenly it is front of you and you are involved-that fast.
The only way to stay out of harm's way is to either stay
off the internet or to install filtering. I think Wisechoice
is the best available and I urge you to try our no risk
trial.
What will Internet Porn cost you?
