The accelerated growth of the internet within the last decade has made it easier now more than ever for children and adults to access free pornographic images and videos, and to get addicted to viewing such materials. Mary Anne Layden, director of Sexual Trauma and Psychopathic Program Center for Cognitive Therapy, told a room full of congressional staffers gathered by the National Center on Sexual Exploitation that internet pornography is becoming America’s newest addiction crisis.
In a society where parents are uncomfortable teaching their children about sex and where school systems don’t educate their students on all aspects of sex, Layden said that children are seemingly turning to internet porn to get the answers to their sexual curiosity. But in viewing porn sites, Layden claims that children are being taught that sex is all about lust and violence against women, not intimacy.
Ernie Allen, former president and CEO of the International Center for Missing & Exploited Children, gave staffers perspective on how many children view pornographic materials. He stated that research consensus has found that the average age of first porn exposure is 12 years old. Allen also stated that “fully” a third of 10-year-olds and 53 percent of 12 to 15-year-olds access pornographic content.
“What information is it feeding them?” Layden asked. “It is telling them this: There is no such thing as too much sex and there is no sexual behavior that is harmful, toxic or traumatizing, and that sex is not about intimacy, caring, love or respect.“
Layden added that internet porn is teaching children that it is alright to have sex with complete strangers, an attitude which she says is manifested by the rise of sexual immorality seen on college campuses.
“[It is teaching them that] sex is not about marriage or having children. Sex is casual, recreational, adversarial and it is non-intimate,” Layden argued. “In fact, you don’t even need to know your partner because sex with strangers is the best and most intense time for sex, and you can see the consequences of that in hookup culture on our college campuses.”
“Of course, all these things are not true. That’s because internet pornography is actually giving them sexual junk food,” Layden continued. “No wonder that the psychologists are calling pornography the new crack cocaine.“
As society’s acceptance of pornographic media continues to grow, Layden argues that children who watch porn are taught that the things they see in porn videos — like rape, bondage, abuse of women, adultery, and other heinous acts — are socially acceptable actions and normal sexual standards.

Beware The Veil Of Darkness That Has Come From Hell!
March 26, 1998
Children are being force fed blood and gore on television through the movies and games they play. Children are being force fed violence, death, destruction, homosexuality, porn, hatred and rebellion just to name a few. They are being taught holiness is not needed for today. You say to ME why did I allow this? It would not have happened if only the children had been taught to cry out in MY Name.

Beware Of Horror Of New Boiling Black Blood Plague To Come!
May 25, 1998
You yoked yourselves to satan and when your children go astray and they deny ME when they were raised up the way they should go, I said, “When they were older they would not depart from it” and yet you see your children you raised godly and you wonder what is happening? It is because you allowed your children to be yoked to the ungodly through the TV they watch, the music they listen too, the games they play, the friends they call peers and the schools they attend.
…
The ones that have sex with animals were to be put to DEATH. Oh, but now this evil land flaunts all that is unholy in MY face. Do what you can do as long as it feels good is their motto. Pornography, homosexuality, adultery is a trap of satan for it has an unquenchable appetite for more debauchery and whoredom and tries to out do the last act. Satan seeks to defile a human more each time through these spirits. Satan loves NO one, not even those that worship him. He entices them through these sins and yes even rewards them sinful pleasure, but in the end it will cost you your souls if it goes unrepented and if you do not turn away from these sins, it will end in damnation for eternity and you have been warned.
