I’m glad another person agrees with me and is doing something about it [see previous post for my blurb].
Please make every effort to attend this event – we all need to be aware.
Porn Nation
Wednesday, February 8th, 8pm – UW HUB Ballroom
A little about Michael Leahy:
Pornography. It’s a $57 billion a year global industry, and the U.S. is the
largest producer, consumer and exporter of porn in the world. And now that
porn’s become the norm in our mainstream media, music and movies, you have to
wonder: are we becoming a “porn nation”? Or have we already become one? And if
so, how is this affecting us as individuals, both in the way we see ourselves
and in how we see and act towards others in relationships?
Porn Nation is a fast-paced,
multimedia-based lecture featuring the compelling personal story of Michael
Leahy, a recovering sex addict and the voice for over 20 million sexually
addicted men and women in America.
Featured on ABC’s “20/20″ and “The View” and the subject of countless local
news stories and newspaper articles as he tours the nation’s universities,
Michael and “Porn Nation” are breaking the silence in what Oprah Winfrey refers
to as America’s #1 addiction. His personal story captivates audiences with its
brutal honesty and public discussion of private matters regarding sex, love,
relationships, and a growing obsession with porn. Yet in the end, his is a
message of hope and a symbol of courage in overcoming what is fast becoming a
silent killer of lives and relationships.

ohhh yeah i went when he came to our school too. it was pretty much his testimony, really interesting and worth your time =)
sup grace money…i know you like oprah…she had on the MAN, Kirk Franklin really recently, where he openly talked about his previous addiction to pornography, and later on in the interview, kirk’s wife came on as well…really powerful. I made my bro DVR it for me
i second the “Please make every effort to attend this event” part. come if you can everybody, or share the event with someone else at least… it should be good!
thanks for posting, grace!
for some reason i find it nice that it is a male that is doing this speaking!
if it were from a woman, it seems as though (socially) it would be something a lot of people would just roll their eyes at.
do you know what i mean? maybe not…i dont know. hahaha wow i am so articulate! =P
Another twin thing – Treasuring & preserving relationships to the max. Thank you for the post; passing it on!
