Next MMJ Meeting - January 18th - Pornography: The Silent Drug -- Fight Back

Gents –  Our next MMJ is Friday, January 18th and it is on the startling impact Internet pornography is having on men.  The problem is so pervasive and severe that the priests in diocese of Maryland complained to their bishop that they are ill-prepared for the onslaught of confessions that have been growing over the past several years and have now reach epidemic proportions.   The number of men coming into the confessionals confessing addiction to Internet pornography has overwhelmed the ability of the clergy to deal with the issue.  Because of this problem, the Bishop of the Maryland diocese asked for help from the Alpha and Omega Institute.  This organization is a unique clinic that takes the best of modern psychology and combines it with the tenants of the Catholic faith in order to provide very effective faith based psychotherapy.  Dr. Art Bennett is the director of the institute and has developed a program that gets at the root of the problem – so there is hope!

I don’t know about you, but it makes me angry to see how effective Satan has been in using the Internet to erode the fighting spirit of men when it comes to this issue.  Not just secular men that are not convicted that pornography is wrong, but committed Christian men who know better, but are enslaved to this very powerful temptation.  I felt something must be done… 

Well, this upcoming MMJ is the battle cry you have been waiting for!  Chances are very good that you have either struggled with this issue or know someone who has – past, present, and future.  If so, please come and bring a friend to the next MMJ as we cover the following areas:

The plight of Internet pornography – how widespread is it?

The Internet and the video camera – technology’s potent combination to ensnare even the strongest of men.

The devastating impact pornography has on marriages and relationships.

The toll pornography has on your children innocence.

Are you addicted?  A litmus test to answer that question.

What can be done?  Powerful, faith based, weapons to attack the problem at it’s very roots…

Effective techniques to take the fight to the enemy and win!

I pray that you will join me and Father Todd Belardi as we take this subject head-on in a night that is sure to be open, honest, and very powerful.  There is no need to sit back any longer and wonder if anything is being done to help men win this battle – MMJ is leading the way.  Are you with us??? 

Let's break the previous MMJ record of 17 and get at least 20 men to this night.  Please feel free to forward this information to others and invite them to come with you.
