Question:

Dear Brother Ignatius,

many thanks for your account of your activity in the 70s against porn. I wanted to ask if you have heard of Shelley Lubben, an ex-porn star turned Christian and evangelist to other girls caught in this vile industry. She has a video on you tube called "Dead Porn Stars Memorial" listing alomost 200 porn actors who died in the last two decades, mostly from drug abuse, suicide, self-inflicted gunshots, or murder.

It's a moving video and makes one realize that the porn industry is a form of slavery.

God bless,
Thomas



Question Answered by Bro. Ignatius Mary, OLSM

Dear Thomas:

I have heard of Shelley but have not seen her website nor the video you mentioned. I am aware, however, of the tragedy and toll taken on those who are in the porno industry. It is a very sad thing. Many, or perhaps most, of the female  "performers" have been molested as children, there is an addiction to sex, addiction to drugs, psychological problems, and the great probability of disease.

The toll on the spirit is monumental. In many cases there is a demonic element as well. There is certainly a demonic bondage in the industry as a whole. And, even if an individual performer is not demonized, there will be demons hanging around for sure.  Demons are always around sexual sins.

We need to pray for these people, for their deliverance spiritually and physically, and for their souls.

God Bless,
Bro. Ignatius Mary
