Testimonials from Former Adult Industry Workers

I am so grateful for Pink Cross Foundation for reaching out to me and helping me better myself. I'm now strong enough to stand up and say, "I'm done with this horrible industry!" Thank you Shelley and the Pink Cross Foundation for loving me and seeing me as the great woman I am. -Amanda, former porn star Erin Moore

Thank you for restoring my faith Shelley and showing me the Way. You have helped me more than you know. I love you and look up to you. I hope that one day I can help people too! – Julie, former porn star Sierra Sinn

Shelley Lubben is one of the most compassionate people I have ever met. Her love, support, and guidance in my life has been of countless value. – Karly, former porn star Becca Bratt

A MILLION thanks to Shelley for helping me through this along with the everyone who supports The Pink Cross Foundation. With their help, I was recently able to gain strength after quitting my job at the tanning salon because I needed to step outside of myself to see the bigger picture and self medicating yourself with marijuana does nothing but kill you spirit (yes, porn does effect your life after you leave no matter what you are doing outside of the industry). I'm sober now and feel amazing! The truth really does set you free and I'm thankful to God everyday for my new life. – Tammie, former porn star Tamra Toryn

testimony

Where to start. I have been an addict to pornography for a very long part of my life now. I have accepted Jesus Christ into my life in 2005. I still have many struggles with what entertains me the most and that is pornography. It is very hard to admit this weird behavior but I have had a huge fetish for pantyhose for years and years. I don't know why but for some reason the draw of this leads me to temptations uncontrollalbe for me to feed the need to search for fulfillment in the imagination world I can create of being with women that claim to "love wearing them" or more. I still fantasize about former friends and aquaintances that I was extremely attracted to. I have gone so far as to participate in wearing them for comfort/pleasure and have kicked-fell back-kicked that sinful habbit. I have deleted any and all materials from my computer. My biggest problem is my mind. When I sit at the computer, the enemies voice begins to speak and lead me to where I know it it definitely wrong to go. Pornography for me does not have to be the magazines or the main adult films for me but the free pics on search engines that are hotlinked and paysite previews of women that I find very attractive. I pray that God will still cleanse my mind and my heart to stop this recurring evil that I still carry inside. I read the testimonies of former stars that are now free and am ashamed that I too have lusted after the young lady Erica Campbell and her former works in this area. Please forgive me. I am involved in church ministries and have admitted my pornography problem to a couple of prayer partners though not going into detail like this. I don't want to stand in front of Jesus Christ and have to explain why I did this and have no secure feeling that I am truly forgiven for what I have done. I am married with two twin boys and a young daughter. I find it difficult to relate to my wife sexually as I always desire her to be what I see in my mind. I realize that Jesus spoke of lusting in the heart but I for some reason can not stop this sin as my mind is so entertained by what I see in my own so called "happy place". Please keep me in prayer for the release of my mind to overcome my sinful pleasures.

Pornography Addictions and where to find help

I just want to encourage you that porn and all of it's tentacles can be VERY EASILY beaten. Just add God. The fact of the matter rests with Jesus words about 2 masters. I loved my porn and my behavior displayed that I couldn't care less about God. Porn was my master, I sowed money, and a great deal of time to my addiction. I cared very little about God. I spent 31 years of my life in Porn.

One night 4 years ago I was looking on the internet for statistics on porn. One site gave me all I needed to know about porn. I came across www.shelleylubben.com I checked out her resources and came across www.settingcaptivesfree.com. I did their first lesson on Feb 27, 2006. Well that night after my first lesson I decided that I didn't want to tell my mentor that I had looked at porn or had been involved in any behavior associated with it. That is almost 4 years ago. I never went back. I finished the course, all 60 lessons and then became a mentor for a while. God wants you to be happy. I lost my marriage due to porn, and my job too. It's a privilege from God to go to sleep at night, and not have any regrets. I wish you well. Paul Moore
