Evil days

We all have a story about someone who has suffered because of carelessness on the internet. Sharing too much information on social networking sites can lead to some very serious and unforeseen consequences for you and your family. Young people are particularly vulnerable. Rather than share the horrors of some of the tales of personal embarrassment and public disgrace, which most of us are familiar with by now, I would like to share some quick tips that you can easily remember to protect yourself; and yes, you DO need protection.
The number one cardinal rule: never give out passwords.
Madonna isn’t the only one who’s talked about – never forget you’re on candid camera.
Friends can become enemies. No real person has 700 friends. If even those who are closest to you can become upset with you or even jealous over some petty matter – and then go on to post hurtful or even dangerous statements about you – think how much ammunition you really want these pseudo-friends to possess.
Posers. Not everyone is what they seem. The typical teenage girl might be on Social Security and have two days beard growth and a receding hairline.
A person of value has a right to some privacy. This is at the basic core of the entire issue. You are reading this because you care about your family and you want to protect their self-esteem. Let them know how seemingly minor incidents can walk with a person for the rest of their life.
We all have a good side and a bad side to our lives and our personality. We do not go outside without being properly dressed; we don’t leave our cash in our front shirt pocket, tempting everyone within view with a peek at out loot. Teach your family, there are two ways to learn a few facts of the 21st century – the easy way or the hard way. And the hard way can be permanently hard if care is not taken how we use this amazing, and powerful, technology.

Protecting your family online

There is a substantial amount of obscenity available nowadays. Amazingly, 4.2 million plus pornographic websites can be found on the Internet today. And according to USA Today an extraordinary number of new pages of filth are created daily. What is the likelihood that you or your family could unintentionally stumble across some appearance of improper matter when surfing the net? The correct answer is 100% guaranteed. The pornographer’s efforts will discover you that are how they continue to increase. There are numerous ways to stumble upon porn when surfing on line.

Family members innocently typing in erroneous URL’s and accessing x-rated sites by error.
Cookies being placed in browsers by adult sites thereby permitting them to follow you and send you x-rated emails.
Inquisitive young searching for licentious sites (and they do). Mark Twain said it best, “Adam was human he didn’t want the apple for the apple’s sake; he wanted it because it was forbidden.”

Families need a trustworthy Internet filter service which includes accountability software built in.

It is important to note that, the typical household uses the computer alot more than the TV. Lamentably, most parents perceive that their children are not susceptible to harm while on line and do not need any monitoring. No one statement could be farther from the reality of life. While no one is capable of viewing their families surfing habits during all intervals of use, it is possible to prevent porn from being displayed. It is so important to defend the ones you love when they surf on line. Indecent material can be discovered on almost any popular website in the appearance of advertisement. The slew of filth seems not at all to be retarded from spreading trash all over the Internet. More than 60 million men and women claimed to have visited pornography sites intentionally and 70% of those admit to hiding that fact from others. The erotica effort grosses much more a fiscal year than the big three automakers totaled. That is astonishing information when you consider that the largest age bracket to view filth is the 12 to 17 year olds.

Do you ever considered how significant an Internet filter that stops filth from displaying in your house would be?

Studies maintain that shown that it isn’t just the obscenity but the danger of predators that create the call for to protection of our loved ones. One in five adolescence tolerate being approached inappropriately by a chat room visitor, yet less than 1/3 told any authority about it.

Accountability software is satisfactory, but preventing your loved ones from any time viewing the filthiness in the first place is superior.

Marriages and families are being disintegrated due to husbands and wives by an addiction to on line filth. There seems to be no end to the evil discovered on line. A strong Internet filter that combines accountability software is the solitary way to secure a defense for everyone in the house. Internet filtering will improve security for your household, providing safer participation on line. Pornography, gambling and Internet scandals are not benign activities, they are harmful and they will find you even if you are not looking for them! Clean Internet helps you safeguard the ones you love.

Accountability software united with a reliable Internet filter is the easiest most effectual way to shield families on line.

Clean Internet provides a remarkable bulwark for your families. There is a myriad of Christian homes nowadays that are vulnerable, or possess fallible security arrangements. Clean Internet was formed to battle these issues, to supply the essential tools for families and ministries to protect themselves wherever worldwide.

Banning the Bible: Distributing Drugs Instead

Posted on by

“I have always said, and will always say, that studious perusal of the sacred volume will make us better citizens.”        (Thomas Jefferson)

There may be millions of dollars spent to do a study on why there is so much drugs and violence in our public school system and I am still sure that they will not come to the same conclusion that I have.  What do you expect from those who have not been taught what is right and what is wrong?  Removing the Bible from our schools’ curriculum have made a dramatic change in student.  Forty years ago a survey was done asking teachers what their main problems were among students.  Top answers were tardiness, talking out, and gum chewing. That is a far cry from the problems teachers and administrators report today.  Among current complaints are drugs, gangs, weapons used for assault, robbery, theft, vandalism, and rape.  Kids today have no respect for their elders, do not know how to work hard, are not thankful, and can not keep a promise.
I am not saying that we should impose religion upon those that do not want it-that is definitely unconstitutional.  I do believe if children were taught what the Word of God actually says about moral issues that it would have an affect on many.  I don’t know about you, but I believe that the Bible can change lives.  It opens the eyes of the sinner to the error of their way.  I am not taking the responsibility off of the parents, but would like to share some ways that the Bible would help better students.

I will be writing about the effects of taking the Bible out of the schools.  This week I would like to share with you about drugs in the schools. 32% of 12- and 13-year-old middle school children said drugs were used, kept, or sold on school grounds — a 39% increase in just one year. More than 60 percent of teens said that drugs were sold, used, or kept at their school. 20 percent of 8th graders report that they have tried marijuana.  An estimated 1.8 million (0.8 percent) of youth age twelve and older are current users of cocaine or ecstasy. Aproximately 15 percent of 10th and 12th graders have used amphetamines. If you think this is bad, these numbers are down because kids have found other ways and means to get high; painkillers and other prescription drugs are being abused at record levels. This up coming generation of teens has been given the name “Generation Rx.”

Recently I have read about teens being arrested for selling drugs at school.  I am sure there are many more that are not getting caught.

“Wellton police have arrested two 14-year-old boys who are suspected of selling drugs at their school.”

“A Midland High School student remained in jail Tuesday after being arrested by school police for allegedly selling drugs, according to police records.”

“A 16-year-old Mount Spokane High School student is being investigated for selling marijuana to other students at school, the Spokane County Sheriff’s Office said today.”

These teens have nothing to live for.  The meaning of life has escaped them and they have fallen to the hardships of life with nothing to turn to. They have ruined their lives before they really have begun.  I believe that they would find something other than drugs to turn to if the Bible introduced back in to its rightful place in the school.

Democratic Governments Starting to Censor the Internet

Posted on by

Under the disguise of ending child pornography and other illegal activities, several democratic governments have introduced new internet censoring plans.  This is common place in countries like Iran and China where the government doesn’t allows the people to have free speech, but surprisingly, censorship is recently moving to more and more democracies, including Australia, Turkey, and Tunisia. Other countries are starting to move in the same direction as seen by Google Transparency Report data. Germany, U.K., and Brazil make thousands of take-down requests to Google every year.  India and Italy even made specific requests to remove videos criticizing Senior government members.

In response to the government ending child pornography, I believe that all pornography is wrong, especially child pornography, but is this the way to solve the problem? Governments shutting down child pornography sites does not mean that the content will no longer exist. It will just make it less accessible online and harder for investigators to track the criminals.  Those who distribute this material will not be stopped by a filter; I am sure they will find a way to get around the governments ban.  This censorship does not address the production of material and abuse of children. This is just another way for the government to tighten their control.

Secondly, if a government sets a president of filtering the internet for illegal activities, it seems like it would make it a whole lot easier for the scope of the filter to widen.  I am not saying that people should not be held responsible for what they do, online or not.  I do think that you should be able to express your opinions online without fear of the government censoring them.  Who makes the government the judge as to what is being filtered on our computer.  I believe that as a Christian or a parent, I should make the decision as to what is blocked from view.  I do believe that there is content on the internet that is wrong and I do not want in my home, and that is why I believe in a Christian internet filter.  I chose to block what I know is bad and without the government  censored it.

Children Becoming Targets Online

With disgust I read a newspaper article this morning entitled, “Police arrest two on charges of trying to victimize children on Internet.”  If you do not think this is becoming more and more of a problem, you must not read the paper or get the news online.  Concerned for the safety of real children of people here in the United States, Police are forming task forces who’s focus is solely on finding these creeps before they find our children. I read of it almost every day, and these are just the perverts who are getting caught.  Both of the online predators I read about this morning targeted children “using tools such as social networking sites, email and chat rooms.”

The investigator on this case sites that ” the explosion of social media sites such as Facebook and the proliferation of young teenagers with their own email addresses and cellphones has provided predators with myriad ways to reach their victims.”   We must keep our children safe and by placing an internet filter to guard them from chat rooms and social media sites.  Children do not see the danger of online predators and find it harmless to share personal information with anyone who might call themselves friends.  What do you think? Would you let your child use the internet to participate in social media sites and chat rooms? If you are not blocking their access they might just be giving away too much personal information!  Feel free to let  me know what you think about this subject.

Testimony of an Pornography Addiction

Posted on by
2

The following is a testimonial of an anonymous young person who was addicted to pornography.  I hope his story will help you see the importance of protecting our family from the filth on the internet.  God is the only one who can break the addiction of pornography, but these once these images enter our minds they will never leave, therefore we should never allow them to have any place in our lives.

“I’m a 19 year old male who has been trapped in the clutches of pornography for a little over 2 years now. Little did I know on that day when I literally begged my parents to get the Internet that I would be taking my first steps towards sin and debauchery.

I am sharing my story in hope that I may purge out pornography once and for all. Pornography is so prolific that it manages to seep into your everyday life with ease if you wanted it to. For me, it started with the little things such as “soft-porn”, and before I knew it I was spending many evenings and early mornings locked in my bedroom entertaining this seedy indulgence. Pornography is such a integral part of my life that only very recently did i realise that this demon had imbedded itself into my Heart of Darkness.

Two years down the track, I cannot tell you how much all the facets of my life have suffered due to my addiction. Physically, pornography is extremely draining. Hour upon hour is spent on the computer searching for that perfect picture or website, which in our hearts of hearts knows doesn’t really exist. My studies have suffered to a great extent too, as has my social life which is currently non-existent. Pornography, I have found, is most detrimental to the mind. It conjures up feelings of guilt, shame and worthlessness that can hardly be good for anybody’s confidence.

Pornography is like a parasite, draining the goodness and life out of me, slowly but surely turning me into some instrument of decadence that I myself cannot recognize. I only pray that God has mercy on my soul and gives me the strength to break free.”

Anthony Weiner is Living Above His “KIDS” Legislation

Anthony Weiner is plastered all over the news today.  I know that everything that someone in the government does is made public because those on the other side of the fence are waiting to pen some fault on their opponent.  I do want to point out that there is some irony in the fact that this is the same man that sponsored the KIDS legislation (Keeping the Internet Devoid of Sexual Predators.)  Seems like he knew that he would be above the law when he was caught sending this picture to someone who was young enough to be his daughter.  He was correct when he was quoted as saying, “Sadly, the Internet is the Predator’s Venue of Choice Today.”

Who knows what is floating around the internet today?  Anthony Weiner definitely is not the only one who has been busted for sharing way less than professional pictures online.  All I can say here is “Be sure your sin will find you out.”  Everything that you put online should not be thought of as private.  You should think while online, “Everything you do or send can be used against you at anytime.”

Is Your Library Really a Safe Place?

Posted on by
Reply

Imagine that you needed to look some information up on the local library computer, the librarian assigns you a computer, and on your way to sit down you pass some pervert who is surfing the web for porn. Of course you turn yourself around and march right back to the librarian and explain your complaint. You don’t want to see that junk! More then that, there are kids all around who might pass by at any time and be exposed to this filth. The librarian shares your disgust but explains that there is nothing she can do about it. The library’s policy is to allow everyone “free speech” according to the First Amendment. Some libraries do give screen protectors to those who are disturbing those by what they are viewing that only allows them to see their screen.
If this makes you mad, you are not alone. I also read an article about a man waiting for a computer terminal. The man at the computer which he was waiting for was viewing pornography. After exchanging words about the situation, the man waiting became mad and punched the pervert. I am not saying this is the way to solve the problem, but it is a maddening situation. Check out the policies at your library and see how liberal your area really is.

Researchers suggest link between Internet pornography and sex offences by Darren Allan

May 9, 2011 techwatch.com

Recent research has pointed to a “causal link” between the rise of deviant pornographic images on the net and sexual offences committed in the real world.

So claims an article in the Telegraph which cites Dr Tim Jones, a Senior Lecturer in Cognitive Psychology at Worcester University and “other psychologists” (including Britain’s leading criminologist Professor David Wilson).

They’re saying that the continued rise in the volume of extreme explicit material on the net has allowed like-minded individuals to share their thoughts online and make them seem more normalised.

Dr Jones reaches the conclusion that: “The internet is fuelling more extreme fantasies and the danger is that they could be played out in real life”.
