Porn Infiltration
I recently got an email from one of our site visitors saying they had visited our old blog on BLOGSPOT only to find our message had been infiltrated by porn. Why doesn’t this surprise me?
Has our world gone totally nuts? I can not believe how this filth is infecting every single aspect of every sngle thing we do. I can’t begin to tell you how frustrating it gets.
Just4Ladies has been online for almost 9-years now. Until recently, when we launched our anti-porn campaign, and the Porn Proof Your Marriage courses, we hadn’t had a problem with pornagraphic messages appearing anywhere on our message boards or blogs; That has changed!!
Over the past 3 months we’ve had to discontinue three blog services and an equal number of message board services becuase of inappropriate advertising. We can’t afford to buy premium services for these features and have to rely on good quality (if such a thing exists) free services to provide blogs and message boards. I am so greatful to the members and even new visitors who have been gracious enough to make us aware when there is something inappropriate on one of our free hosted features. Your help in this area is so greatly appreciated as it is virtually impossible to monitor every page of these freebies daily. You’re our eyes out there and our gatekeepers. Without you, we couldn’t do it!
But then we have another group (albeit very small) who feel it necessary to inaccuratly judge us when something like this happens. The truth of the matter is, it hurts me when someone emails me and chews me out for something I had no control over KNOWING that the other 99.9% of our ministry is pure and maybe, JUST MAYBE the devil is trying to destroy a good thing. Of course, they piously represent themselves as good, wholesome Christians who would NEVER view such a thing!! Probably very true but the compassionate, understanding, forgiving part of their Christian makeup is lacking.
Sorry guys, it’s how I feel and it hurts me. DEEPLY.
I work 12, 16 sometimes 18 hours a day to keep these ministry sites up and running, I coach people at all hours of the day and night, I support the bulk of this ministry out of my own pocket and when someone emails me without thinking and says stuff like “this should be shut down”, or “I can’t belive you call yourself a Christian!” it hurts my feelings. If you’re one of these people and your reading this, forgive me (if you know how) but you are wrong and I will die before I let the devil and the people he uses (you) shut down a ministry that has been here for 9 years saving families… on the other hand, if you want to look beyond whatever it is in your heart that would cause you to act before you think, I forgive you and could use your help!
Sorry if I sound harsh guys; but I am hurt. My life revolves around this ministry and when someone attacks it, I take it personal. Maybe I need prayer to not be so sensitive, or to be more forgiving myself, I’m not sure.
I do love and care about each and every one of you. I love serving the Lord in this ministry and I want to be here to help anyone who needs me; but how about a little bit of sensitivy and a lot a bit of common sense when addressing these issues.
