NASHVILLE, Jan. 12, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Larry Flynt, the publisher of Hustler magazine, and Joe Francis, the producer of "Girls Gone Wild" videos, recently said they were asking Congress for $5 billion in federal assistance, asserting the adult entertainment industry was among those hit "like a cold shower" by the recession.
However, Steve Siler, director of Music for the Soul (MFS), a Nashville-based Christian ministry, said that while Flynt’s and Francis’ remarks may seem like simply a twisted joke to most Americans, the pornography industry in the United States and its devastating effect on individuals, marriages, families and workplaces is no laughing matter.
"Pornographers continue to disregard the heartbreak and devastation they wreak on a daily basis," said Siler. "Then they take advantage of the economic misfortune of millions of Americans in order to generate free publicity. I would call this act thoughtless, if it wasn't so calculated. Some have called it a joke. But to laugh and joke about this epidemic is hurtful and offensive."
Siler and MFS recently released "Somebody's Daughter: A Journey to Freedom from Pornography", featuring a television documentary detailing the lives of three men and one couple active in Christian ministry who struggled with and overcame addiction to pornography.
The "Somebody's Daughter" TV documentary has appeared on the ION Network and is set to air on the INSP, Daystar and NRB networks and on an American Family Association webcast.
According to recent surveys, nearly 60 percent of Christian men and 37 percent of pastors admit to struggling with pornography. No longer just a problem for men, 35 percent of women also admit to the addiction. "Somebody's Daughter" was produced to shine the light on how the $13.3 billion pornography industry is plaguing those who profess Christianity, and to promote healing and deliverance from the growing epidemic.
