The truth about Porn
Check out the post I got this from HERE
In Tim Chester’s forthcoming book, Captured By a Better Vision: Living Pom-Free, he describes the spread of pornography as an epidemic. Here are some statistics that back up his claim …
- Every second, 28,258 Internet users are viewing pomography and $3,075.64 is being spent on pornography
- The pornography industry is larger than the revenues of the top technology companies combined: Microsoft, Google, Amazon, eBay, Yahoo!, Apple, Netflix and EarthLink
- There are 4.2 million pornographic websites, which is 12% of all the websites on the internet
- Every day there are 68 million (25% of the total) search engine requests for pornographic terms
- 42.7% of internet users view pom
- The average age of first exposure to pornography is 11 years old and 80% of 15-17 year olds have had multiple hard-core exposure
- The 35-49 age group is the largest consumer of internet pornography
- 47% of Christians say that pornography is a major problem in the home
- 17% of women struggle with pornography addiction and 70% of women keep their cyber activities secret
- The USA produces 89% of all pornographic web pages (Germany are the next biggest producer, producing 4% of all pomographic web pages)
A lady in my church and myself taught on porn and lust this past Sunday in our church services. We shared about our own stories and struggles, the dangers and consequences of porn, common lies addicts believe about porn, and steps for gaining victory.
We also took anonymous questions from church attenders via text message and did a follow-up video answering the questions on our church’s website.
