Several months ago some good friends of ours invited us to volunteer at the UCAP conference. I was excited to just go and see what it was about. I really had no idea what I was getting into other than I wanted to be there. When we showed up we just helped escort and made sure the recordings were going ok as well as being able to attend some of the classes. (I will say quickly that Dr. Hilton was my favorite due to his knowledge about addiction and how the Atonement can help). Seeing that everyone was there for the purpose of fighting against pornography was appealing. I felt like I was doing something against the industry that had my soul for so many years. After the conference I felt great knowing that I was not the only one in this fight AGAINST this plague. Once I got over on this side of the fence I could see the small army forming to fight.
There are so many different avenues to go to in order to fight. I am working on setting up the link in order for guys to go fight against the Carls Jr ads. I was sorely disappointed that during Shark Week (a safe program for me to watch) there were a ton of ads for Carls Jr. The pornographic hamburger commercials were enough for me to bail on watching the programs. It was supposed to be a safe show that I could partake in and enjoy. It was supposed to be a fun show that my family could enjoy. My 14 year old boy and I spent more time looking away from the TV than we did seeing sharks fly out of the water. My poor girls had to see women objectify themselves just to sell a hamburger at a crappy fast food restaurant. What a shame that my family could not enjoy something that we have for years due to the obscene ads. If you want to help out please go to the site: http://www.beautyredefined.net/cut-the-carls/ There are other website to also visit in order to fight against the pornography plague. I would encourage all to go visit http://moralityinmedia.org to see what is new so you can get involved.
I never really felt like the addiction was going to take me to a place where I wanted so badly to fight against this crap but it has and I am so grateful for Jake who has helped me out in getting involved against the industry. For me getting involved against pornography has helped me stay out of it. How can I fight against something that I indulge in? I can't. That is the point. The more I fight against it the further the thoughts of going back to it are. I love being on this side of the fence with the small army ready to attack. I love being able to say that I am actively fighting against the monster that took so much from me. I love being able to say that I am on the side that will ultimately win the fight. I love being able to feel the power behind the movement to educate and thwart the evil that is entering homes on a daily basis.
For those who are reading this and thinking to yourself that there is nothing you can do to fight against pornography well you are wrong. There are meetings to attend, petitions to sign, shirts to buy to get off the shelves, people to educate and children to protect and adults to warn! Please join me in my fight against the adversary. Join Cherae in our fight against pornography. Please join all of us who are in this for themselves or their loved ones or who just want to stand up for what is right.
I fight for my family. I fight for the love of my Father in Heaven. I fight so that someday when the pornography industry is in ashes I can say that I took the torch and lit the monster.
