DOJ Inaction Gives Pornographers Green Light Dear ZAROVE,

View this Important Message

(Please view this important message before you read the following e-mail message.)

Adelphia Communications Corp. the nation’s fifth largest cable company, is showing hardcore pornography on their cable systems. All other cable companies are expected to follow Adelphia’s lead. Adelphia felt safe in offering the illegal obscenity because they know that the Department of Justice (DOJ) will not prosecute them. By their inaction, DOJ has indicated that they will not prosecute any cable system or Internet provider showing hardcore pornography.

During the past 12 years the distributors and retailers of obscenity have had an open door to distribute their product while DOJ looked the other way. The first 8 years were under the Clinton administration. We can understand why there were few prosecutions, and those only of child pornography. The last 4 years were under the George W. Bush administration which simply followed Clinton’s lead.

Back in 2000, former Attorney General John Ashcroft, whom I consider a friend, promised he would begin prosecution of obscenity. He did not. He even appointed Drew Oosterbaan, a holdover from the Clinton administration, to head the Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section. The CEOS section of DOJ has the responsibility to prosecute obscenity.

DOJ has given a green light to every pornographer in America to trade their wares without worry. The laws to protect our children from obscenity are in place, but Oosterbaan and DOJ refuse to enforce them.

It is time for parents to take a stand for their children and demand that DOJ enforce the law. Because of the addictive nature of pornography, the pornographers know that if they capture the children they will have customers for many, many years.

TAKE ACTION

Send a letter to Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and to President Bush asking that the DOJ enforce the obscenity laws.

Thanks for caring enough to get involved on behalf of our children and families.

Sincerely,

Don

Donald E. Wildmon, Founder and Chairman American Family Association

P.S. Please forward this email to family and friends.

Jeremiah chapter 5.

26. For among my people are found wicked men: they lay wait, as he that setteth snares; they set a trap, they catch men.

27. As a cage is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit: therefore they are become great, and waxen rich.

28. They are waxen fat, they shine: yea, they overpass the deeds of the wicked: they judge not the cause, the cause of the fatherless, yet they prosper; and the right of the needy do they not judge.

29. Shall I not visit for these things? saith the Lord: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?

Adelphia at one time got rid of porn. I had complained to them when I had service with them. I told them the reason was porn.

Th eorigional Counder, jhn Regas, forbad immorlaity on his Cable channels, and rfused ot carry any. He was in turn conspired agaisnt by board members who souht the lucritive money form Pay-Per -Veiw shows he (regis) refused ot air, so they trumped up fraud and conspiracy charges, andhad him removed form hs own companyh. After they asusmed power and consilidated their power base, they then procceeded to place Porn on the airs. ( Origionally it was soft Core, btut o show their rejection of heir foudner, they allowed Hard-Core Porn this time.)

This is one instance whereoen can feel the hand of satan, in a sence.

That's true, Zarove.

Unfortunately, John Rigas decided to make money using Adelphia as collateral.

No, it exploits people. It enslaves them to a life of no value. It negates the real meaning of love and sex. It brings people to disease, suicide, and worthlessness of self-worth. It is an endeavor in destruction of the mind and body. It corrupts the moral values of the innocent. It deviates from the truth and the will of God.

Obviously, you don't understand our faith.

Well, how stupid are we?

Judging? No, I think that porn stars and porn addicts do convict themselves without my help.

Adelphia has backtracked, it seems from offering XXX porn, according to article from the LA Times.

Excerpt: Adelphia dumps XXX porn plans Large cable firm stops offering hard-core pay-to-view

Posted: February 25, 2005 1:00 a.m. Eastern

© 2005 WorldNetDaily.com

Adelphia, the large cable company that began this month to offer hard- core pornographic movies on its system, has stopped the practice and backed off its plans.

"Some concern has been expressed over this type of adult programming. Adelphia will remove it from all of its systems," the Denver Post quotes Adelphia spokesman Paul Jacobson as saying.

Earlier this month, Adelphia, the fifth-largest cable provider, began offering the porn to its Southern California markets. In response, several pro-family organizations, including the American Family Association and Concerned Women for America, began campaigns to target the company. Those groups now are declaring victory.

For me, anything dealing with semen,...and else even though is legal in California, is paid prostitution.

i love the hipocrisy of your faith.

As ed said, you don understand our Faith. why is this Hypocracy? because you isunderstand the oen line fromt he Bibel you love to use, "Judge not lest ye be Judged", whihc we shall deal with momentarily...

you're all either very stupid, or full of shame for judging these people.

You do relaisrthat condemning an action is nto the same as consignign someone to Hell, right?

Christasn not nly can speak agaisnt evil and corruption, btu are ocmmanded to do so, often.

God said NOT to sin, and to reprove sin. He did nto say " Dont judyge sin, tis OK...". He himself as Jesus ran out Moneychangers form the teple, ow muhc worse is Pornography which corrupts the Mind?

we are ordered to take a stand for what is right, not to sink into the mires of apathy and permissiveness...

Pity you cant grasp this, and instead all us stupid ont he basis of a remarkeabely overused byt little udnerstood verse...
