Not everyone who sees porn will become addicted. Some will just come away with toxic ideas about women, sex, marriage, and children. However, some will have some kind of emotional opening that allows the addiction to really grab hold. The porn companies don’t mind at all if you become completely addicted to their product. It’s great for business. Dr. Victor Cline has divided the progress of addiction into several stages; addiction, escalation, desensitization, and acting out. For porn addicts, I’ve found that there is another stage that comes first — early exposure. Let’s look at these stages:
EARLY EXPOSURE
Most guys who get addicted to porn start early. They see porn when they are very young and it gets its foot in the door.
PORN ADDICTION
You keep coming back to porn. It becomes a regular part of your life. You’re hooked and can’t quit.
ESCALATION
You start to look for more graphic pornography. You start using porn that disgusted you earlier. Now, it excites you.
DESENSITIZATION
You start to become numb to the images you see. Even the most graphic porn doesn’t excite you any more. You become desperate to feel the same thrill again, but you can’t find it.
ACTING OUT SEXUALLY
This is the point where men make a crucial jump and start acting out the images they have seen. Some move from the paper and plastic images of porn into the real world, with real people, in destructive ways.

Here is a list of software I found (I haven’t actually tried any of them, although I have heard and seen a couple of them in action before):
Logos Software is currently developing an online-based church presentation service called Proclaim ($???).
Audiovisual Presenter (freeware) though not quite like any of the programs in the above list but a little similar helps with organizing multiple PowerPoint’s and videos that will be used in a service. This program might be useful for those that use PowerPoint to project content during service.

Girls. Who needs them?
What are the chances of a girl being crazy after any particular guy in this world? The chances are astronomical! Combining brute stubbornistic capabilities, and a man can logically conclude that a girl being crazy after them is purely emotional and illogical on their part, and thus giving in to the girl’s emotions would be manipulative. First, the girl will soon realize what a big mistake they’ve made to marry this guy. Then, secondly, the guy will have violated his own logic by giving into emotions by either (1) feeling sorry for her, or (2) following the programming of his hormones.
From a guys perspective, it’s quite the contrary when it comes to being crazy after a girl. Chances of that happening can be very frequent and occur daily. Fortunately, for those with brute stubbornistic capabilities, they should immediately seize the opportunity to conclude the following: (1) the girl will never be crazy for him, unless she’s crazy too (in which you would have to refer to the last sentence of the previous paragraph), (2) he is being emotional, which is not logical, and therefore would be illogical to follow through with the direction his emotions are taking him, (3) his emotions are directly influenced by the programming of his hormones, which would also be illogical in that “women are not to be used as mere sexual objects,” which is precisely what the programming of male sexual hormones will achieve if acted upon alone.
Therefore, to conclude today’s article on Anti-Companionship, we live in a very dangerous world.
