THE TIMES PORN DISCOVERY LED TO DIVINITY SCHOOL DEAN’S FALL RESIGNATION

Slide4: 

“My first responsibility will be to meet Dr. Thiemann and to discuss the whole matter with him to try to ascertain some of the details, “Isaken said. Church action could range from admonition to censure to possibly dismissal. “We have no history on this sort of matter”, he said.

Slide5: 

Hotel reports that, bar none, an evangelical youth pastor’s conference rented more adult videos during its stay than any convention they have ever hosted Most paid in cash so they would not be found out.

The Global Market: 

The Global Market Today’s legal porn business is a 56 Billion dollar global industry Today there are several groups that sell their stocks on the Nasdaq and Dow Jones

McPorn: 

McPorn There are more outlets for hard-core pornography in this country ( an estimated 15,000-20,000) than McDonalds restaurants (approximately 9,000)

THE MOVIES: 

THE MOVIES Nationally, adult videos bring in 212 Billion a year, according to Adult Video News, and account for more than a quarter of all sales and rentals at the typical video store. This is more than Hollywood’s domestic receipts and larger than all the revenues generated by rock and country music recordings.

Slide9: 

The United States is now by far the world’s leading producer of porn, churning out hard-core videos at the astonishing rate of about 150 New titles a week (most being made in the San Fernando Valley near Universal City and the Warner Bros. back lot.)

The Hotel Industry: 

The Hotel Industry Last year guests spent 175 million to view porn in their rooms at major hotel chains such as Sheraton, Hilton, Hyatt and Holiday Inn. The Omni Hotel Chain has decided not to carry pornography, even though they will lose 40% of their revenue from having such movies available.

The “Help” Lines: 

The “Help” Lines Last year Americans spent between 750 million and $1 Billion on Telephone Sex. AT&T is one of the biggest carriers of phone sex. The average call lasts between four to eight minutes costing from 89 cents to $4 a minute

Slide12: 

“According to the owner of one of America’s largest “audiotext providers” three quarters of the callers are lonely hearts seeking conversation with a woman--the sexual content of the call is often of secondary importance.”

Television and Cable: 

Television and Cable More than 80 percent of all customers signing up for Cable TV opt for erotic films. The availability-the near-ubiquity of so much sexual enticement, the constant barrage of innuendoes, and the nonstop polemic for indulgence inevitably attracts.

Take A Cruise: 

Take A Cruise There are now packages on cruise ships for those who want to be around “porn” stars as well as participate in the action.

Lookout Wal-Mart: 

Lookout Wal-Mart There are now a group of Wal-Mart like stores on the West coast called “Castle Stores” where you can sit in a Barnes and Noble/Starbucks setting with your better half and look at and select movies together. The stores clientele is about 50% couples.

“This is a hidden public health hazard exploding, in part, because very few are recognizing it as such or taking it seriously”, the researchers said.

Spinning Off the Cutting Edge: 

Spinning Off the Cutting Edge Porn Site Webmasters are on the cutting edge of Internet Technology and proudly remind anyone who will listen that they have been the pioneers in every new media technology, from dial-in bulletin boards to videos to full-streaming video They developed “masking” so that when one tries to exit a site another site will immediately pop up as quickly as one clicks to exit.

Slide28: 

“Every American classroom will be connected to the Internet by the Year 2000”

Frederick Buechner: 

Frederick Buechner “Lust is the ape that gibbers in our loins. Tame him as we will by day, he rages all the wilder in our dreams by night. Just when we think we’re safe from him, he raises up his ugly head and smirks, and there’s no river in the world flows cold and strong enough to strike him down. Almighty God, why dost thou deck men out with such a loathsome toy?”

LUST….: 

LUST…. IS THE CRAVING FOR SALT BY A MAN WHO IS DYING OF THIRST

Slide40: 

“THE THIEF COMES NOT BUT TO STEAL, KILL AND DESTROY”….. (JOHN 10:10)

THE STRATEGIES OF THE THIEF: 

THE STRATEGIES OF THE THIEF We are his favorite subject He never takes a day off He knows exactly what he is after

THE THREE POSSESSIONS THE THIEF WANTS MOST FROM CHRISTIAN LEADERS: 

THE THREE POSSESSIONS THE THIEF WANTS MOST FROM CHRISTIAN LEADERS TO STEAL OUR PERSPECTIVE

HOW DOES HE STEAL OUR PERSPECTIVE?: 

HOW DOES HE STEAL OUR PERSPECTIVE? THROUGH THE MALE MYSTIQUE SYNDROME THROUGH A CULTURE OF FANTASY WHICH LEADS TO DISSATISFACTION

THE MAGAZINE READ MOST BY MEN...: 

THE MAGAZINE READ MOST BY MEN... Playboy and those similar to it

THE FANTASY: 

THE FANTASY WOMEN WILL BE AT HIS BECK AND CALL TO SATISFY HIS EVERY NEED ONCE A MAN MARRIES AND TAKES HIMSELF OUT OF THE DATING GAME--THIS ONE WOMAN BECOMES THE FRANCHISE AND OVER TIME CANNOT COMPETE

He then begins to hear...: 

He then begins to hear... OTHER VOICES (VS.3-6)

RATIONALIZATIONS: 

RATIONALIZATIONS To be an effective Christian leader--I need to understand the struggles of others Didn’t Jesus hang around with prostitutes and sinners? Voyeurism is better than adultery I need moderation--not total deprivation Nudity is art Some stimulation will help my sex life Other people do far worse

LUST..: 

LUST.. Points in only one direction. Always you want more

Through the False Promise of Intimacy: 

Through the False Promise of Intimacy “I was searching for intimacy, or love, or acceptance, or reinforcement of an insecure male ego or maybe even a thirst for transcendence. I was searching for something that could never be satisfied by two-dimensional photos printed on slick magazine paper. And not until I recognized that could I begin to turn toward a more appropriate sexual identity.”

Through beginning to Doubt...: 

Through beginning to Doubt... THE SUFFICIENCY OF GOD

The Tale of Two Cities: 

The Tale of Two Cities “ The lure of the city of man often drowns out the call of the City of God. Man’s city is visible, substantial, real; as such it is far more alluring. God’s city is ephemeral, invisible, cloaked in doubt, far away. It may not even exist--no one knows for sure.”

IF THE THIEF CAN STEAL OUR PERSPECTIVE....: 

IF THE THIEF CAN STEAL OUR PERSPECTIVE.... THEN HE CAN KILL OUR PURPOSE Can develop a survival mentality Can numb out Can become obsessive about the moment

Slide53: 

“I learned quickly that lust, like physical sex, points in only one direction. You cannot go back to a lower level and stay satisfied. Always you want more. A magazine excites, a movie thrills, a live show really makes the blood run.”

Slide54: 

“ALTHOUGH SUCH ACTS ARE INCOMPREHENSIBLE TO ME, I REMEMBER WELL THAT WHERE I ENDED UP WAS ALSO INCOMPREHENSIBLE TO ME WHEN I STARTED.”

IF THE THIEF CAN KILL OUR PURPOSE.....: 

IF THE THIEF CAN KILL OUR PURPOSE..... THEN HE CAN DESTROY OUR PASSION Can become reactive rather than Proactive

Slide56: 

“In my search I “de-mystified” sexuality. I made the female body as common as a daily newspaper, rather than as rare as the one I had chosen to spend my life with. I destroyed the fences around sexuality chasing away any remnants of ‘holiness’.

“BUT I HAVE COME THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE LIFE”: 

“BUT I HAVE COME THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE LIFE”
