The AFA Has Been Selling A 12-Disc DVD Set To Cure Porn Addiction With Military Footage

The American Family Association advertised a 12-disc video series this morning that hopes to convince Christian men to abandon pornography by showing them high-production cinema battlefield reenactment scenes chock full of metaphors conveyed by artillery guns, fighter jets, and an overarching “battle plan for purity.”

The film series, produced five years ago by KingdomWorks Studios, advertises Marine fighter pilot and pastor Dr. Ted Roberts recounting his experience in combat and delivering a “prophetic voice” to men in a way that encourages them “to walk in sexual integrity with a strong passion for their divine destiny, by the grace of God and the power of the Holy Spirit.” The series promises “action packed battle reenactments” with “mind-blowing interviews with brain experts and empowering testimonies by famous male Christian role models.”

The two-part box set includes five DVD films about overcoming sexual temptation, and each box includes a bonus DVD with lessons that aim to teach men how to convince their other male friends to follow their path. The item description on the KingdomWorks web store promises that upon watching the first box set, viewers will discover “Strongholds that keep men in bondage.”

“It will put a weapon in your hand that you can conquer and begin to help other men,” Roberts says in the series trailer.

“The Conquer Series is designed for men’s small groups, but is also ideal for self-study,” the site advertises.

The American Family Association was designated an anti-gay hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center in 2010, thanks largely to the views espoused by former spokesman Bryan Fischer. The AFA remains one of the most powerful Religious Right organizations operating today.

Christian men are supposed to masturbate to war flims instead of proper porn.

And that whole "strongholds that keep men in bondage" thing sounds pretty S&M-ish to me.
