Video – Nefarious: Merchant of Souls (Trailer)

It is my personal opinion that if you are or were involved in prostitution then you were linked to human trafficking and the problems associated with it.  I pray that none of you who read this post and watch this trailer are continuing to visit prostitutes in the United States, or abroad….

The full video can be ordered through the Nefarious website: http://nefariousdocumentary.com/

“Modern slavery.” It sounds like a paradox. Hasn’t humanity progressed? Didn’t we leave slavery dead on the battlefields of the American Civil War? Didn’t social reformers like Lincoln and Wilberforce legislate against such cruelty over a hundred years ago? So we had thought. But, with over 27 million enslaved people in the world, human trafficking is once again the battlefront of the century.

Regardless of nationality, victims are systematically stripped of their identity, battered into gruesome submission, and made to perform humiliating sexual acts on up to 40 strangers every night. Most are held in dingy apartments and brothels, forced to take heavy doses of illegal drugs, and monitored very closely. Victims are often thrown into such ghastly oppression at 13 years old. Some are abducted outright, while others are lured out of poverty, romantically seduced, or sold by their families.

Nefarious, Merchant of Souls, is a hard-hitting documentary that exposes the disturbing trends in modern sex slavery. From the very first scene, Nefarious ushers you into the nightmare of sex slavery that hundreds of thousands experience daily. You’ll see where slaves are sold (often in developed, affluent countries), where they work, and where they are confined. You’ll hear first-hand interviews with real victims and traffickers, along with expert analysis from international humanitarian leaders.

From initial recruitment to victim liberation—and everything in between—the previously veiled underworld of sex slavery is uncovered in the groundbreaking, tell-all Nefarious, Merchant of Souls.

Remembering September 11, 2001

I still remember what I was doing on the morning of September 11, 2001; sitting in my office, ignoring what I thought was just a freak accident in New York City.  About an hour later, when I finally got up to watch the TV, I realized what was going on.

I received this video this morning via an e-mail subscription to God Tube and found it powerful 11 years after the September 11th attacks.  Please take a momen to watch this video and pray for the families of the people that were lost on that day, and pray for our nation.

Amazing Grace – Beautiful September 11 Tribute
It still feels as though the tragedies of September 11 transpired just yesterday–our wounds are still healing, buildings are still under construction and questions are still unanswered. But one thing we can know for certain is the amazing grace we receive from our Lord and Savior–it is in Him that we find our true hope, healing, joy and restoration.

Convergence Summit Highlight Video

Reposted from http://www.covenanteyes.com/2012/07/09/how-does-porn-effect-the-body-and-brain/

Dr. Struthers’ recent talk at the Convergence Summit is filled with interesting comments like this. In 30 minutes, he brings the audience through a crash course on how pornography impacts the brain. “As a neuroscientist,” Struthers comments, “what I know is that the brain is perhaps the most sexual organ in the body.”

  • Dr. Struthers shows how pornography “supercharges” the area of the brain called the hypothalamus, the part of the brain responsible for primary drives: eating, drinking and sex.
  • Dr. Struthers talks about how pornography taps into the area of the brain—called the amygdala—that is responsible for negative emotions such as stress or anxiety or sexual tension.
  • Dr. Struthers also talks about how viewing pornography and masturbating weakens the region of our brain known as the singular cortex, the region that is responsible for moral and ethical decision making.

Not many people realize that there have been many studies done on the effect of pornography on the brain. Dr. Struthers distills this information in a way that is accessible to a general audience.

You can now watch all of Dr. Struthers’ talk, as well as talks given by several other scientific minds from the Convergence Summit.

Video – Somebody’s Daughter

I first saw this video during my 3-day intensive.  It was emotionally moving.  However, it wasn’t until I played this video to my Castimonia Saturday morning meeting group in February that I was completely overwrought with emotions concerning the theme that these women, in pornography, prostitution, strip clubs, etc… are somebody’s daughter.  As a father of two beautiful young girls, I can relate 100%, and use that to my advantage and my sobriety.  Don’t let the enemy lie to you and tell you that the woman in the pornographic scene you are watching or the woman dancing in a strip club, or even waitressing in a skimpy sports bar outfit is not real or wants to do this for a living.  Always remember that she is somebody’s daughter, maybe even your own!
