THIS FRIDAY ON ABC

The Porn Debate is on for this Friday on ABC. Grab your popcorn, a loved one and hold on. Watch the porn debate Friday, Feb. 29 on ABCNEWS.com, plus watch the full story on "Nightline" that night at 11:35 p.m. ET. Last week the debate was bumped by some late breaking presidential campaign news.

What are your predictions? Ron Jeremy says he is going slam dunk the porn pastor Craig (see video). Eh, we think not. The Debate is guaranteed to surprise you.

Ron and Craig are much more different in their views than Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. I mean PRO PORN and NO PORN. I doubt that Hillary and Barack will be that close of friends after everything is over. Ron and Craig are friends and are likely to be if they continue to disagree on the issue of porn.

Does a job in porn separate people? Should we let it? Do Christians have too many Christian friends? Is love and friendship stronger than judgment and disagreement? Some people do not agree in us debating Ron? Do you?

When it comes to porn there is one thing Ron and Craig, and X3 and some, yes some of the porn industry agree on: We need to do more to keep it out of the hands of children. You must be 18 to buy it at a store but you can view it all you want on the internet.

There are massive political campaigns happening right now and we have one of our own - PORN IS BIPARTISAN. Our goal: To bring the issue of internet safety to the forefront of government leaders and bring protection to every family in the United States of America.

Check out the new website and download the PDF. And get involved. We can all agree that this junk needs to be out of kids hands and off their computer screens.

What time is the online episode airing? 11:35PM is for the TV episode but there's no mention on XXXChurch or ABCNews as to when the show will be available to watch online.

God bless you guys! :-D

I hope to watch, listen, and learn. Most of all I hope to change my wicked ways that I despise but are incorporated into who I am. It's a battle, to know what is right and to love what is "bad".

@scar:
You are not alone dear one. Do not fret or worry, the Lord desires to give you a new heart and to set your feet upon a Rock in which you can stand. His word says if you seek Him with all of your heart you WILL find Him! :)

Man, I wanted to go to this. I was passing thru the area that Friday night but the debate was way too late to stop in since I had another 6 hours to go. Now that I see it's on Nightline, I am glad I will get to see it, then again upset I can't say that I was there.

You guys did well. You certainly have your work cut out for you. May God bless you and protect you as you continue on your mission.

I only saw what got on TV. I really like that
guy on Nightline-he has a knack for getting really interesting Christian news stories on there..but I always wonder what he feels personally behind that professional front.
I love that he was there hanging out with your debate. I love that you hang out on the debates with Ron, who else has the cajones to be in his life like this? Keep loving people.I know God loves Ron a bunch-I hope Ron is getting that.

Hey Guys, watched the TV version (via youtube) then much of the unedited version on ABC.com. I have to say, they really gave you guys a bum edit. I finished watching the TV version with a list of things you could've said differently or responded better, but when I saw the full version it was clear that you did say most of those things.

A great example is how Ron Jeremy got a cut saying how he respects you guys and isn't attacking what you do, but your statements that you're not looking to take down the industry supply nor legislate against them were left on the cutting room floor. One side is left looking open minded and inclusive, and it's not you, even though you both had equally respectful assumptions guiding your debating.

I've been doing some early research into Oxytocin in existing medical journal articles and the hormone's intended affects (partner to partner bonding, and mother to infant bonding), it would be wise to commission some medical research studies to track correlations between oxytocin in masturbation, oxytocin in masturbation with porn, arousal templates, and similar arenas, then how they affect sexual expectations, arousal pattern disappointment, and even outright depression in marriage. I think that sort of data would be a gold mine for debates like these, and put quantitative research along with much of your solid anecdotal arguments.

Peace,
John
