SEX ABUSE OF CHILDREN BY CLERGY=CURSED ENDINGS-MATTHEW 18:6.
Sex addiction strongholds weighed in * Pastor Robert Morris' past having confirmed as a young man he acted out and lived in rebellion. Morris went on to became a born again Christian, and eventually founding Pastor of Gateway mega church in Dallas, Texas. He beams a confident smile often when he speaks. The mask of which is a sin cursed illusion, as lust filled longings remained entrench and embedded within his soul. While it has been said, sex is every mans battle. Sin's lust becomes a life and death struggle for many trauma victims of sexual molestation, rape, incest and abuse.
Cindy Clemishire, at the age of 12 (starting in 1982), became Robert Morris' (age 21 at the time) sexual fixation, inviting her to visit him in the guest bedroom of her family's home. Morris and his wife and family, were trusted friends, and he was a preacher in good standing. Innocent Cindy, was being groomed by Morris (who instructed her to keep it secret) which she couldn't understand at such a young age. The sex abuse - molestation of Cindy by Morris, is said to have gone on until she turned 17 years of age. Robert Morris has been married to wife Debbie, since 1980, and they have three children. Estimated wealth for Morris is $117 million (Wikipedia-retrieved 7/28/2024).
Cindy, and her family tried to speak out, alerting those in church leadership of the abuse crimes posed against her by Morris. Sadly, no one elder in leadership cared enough to change the course of sin's debased strongholds, allowing Satan and his demonic hordes marching to rule and reign. Sin thrives in secret, and harms and destroys ( John 10:10; romans 6:23).
CBS NEWS REPORTED -UPDATE ON JULY 10, 2024, BY S.E. JENKINS AND ERIN JONES:
Clemishire, according to USA TODAY, came forward and shared her sad plight and sex abuse story "with the Wartburge Watch, a blog about sexual abuse within the church." The rest is history, Thanks be to God. As Cindy Clemishire, gave her name in full blog reveal, having felt no shame. Clemishire never gave up on God, HIs word, prayer, trusting in His healing power to see her through.
"On June 18, Morris resigned from his position as senior pastor at Gateway Church. Chemishire said she has mixed thoughts and feelings regarding Morris' resignation and believes she is not the only victim. 'Though I am grateful that he is no longer a pastor at Gateway. I am disappointed that the Board of Elders allowed him to resign,' Clemishire wrote in a statement. 'He should have been terminated.' She rebuked church elders for knowing and acknowledging her claims of sexual abuse, but intentionally embracing 'the false narrative Robert Morris wanted them to believe." Best selling Christian author, Max Lucado is said to be serving as interim Pastor of Gateway Church.
TRAUMA OF SEX ABUSE - MOLESTATION
Due to the trauma of sex abuse, Cindy, underwent therapy, costing her personal financial hardship. She had filed a civil lawsuit in 2005, against Morris, whose legal counsel required her to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement, which she refused. The case was then dropped. Cindy, finding her God given voice for justice, has done all sex abuse victims a great favor in bringing her story forward. I relate to her story on a personal level, as I too became a victim of "attempted" sex abuse by way of a male middle school teacher, at the same young age as Cindy. I told school officials and the sex abuse teacher resigned. Like Cindy, I too think he should have been "terminated!" Instead, he went on to teach at a near by community college, with most students being above the age of 17.
* It is reported via many major news sources, that Robert Morris is an Ex-Donald Trump spiritual advisor. One can reference Donald Trumps' page on www.xxxhisway.com, as he too has been plagued by sex addiction-lust strongholds in the past.

"Paulk's daughter, Beth Bonner, appeared on Atlanta station WAGA-TV on December 11, 2007, and apologized on behalf of her family for her father's misdeeds. She claimed to have confronted Paulk as far back as the 1980s about his immorality. According to her, Paulk had confessed and promised to reform, but reneged on his promise. She was not surprised when D.E. Paulk revealed he was her half-brother rather than her cousin.[1] Interviewed on WAGA-TV the next day, Bonner's daughter, Penny White (née Penielle Brooke Bonner) went public with allegations, previously made only in court papers, that Paulk, her grandfather, had sexually abused her as a child. Paulk issued a statement through his lawyer denying the charge. [2]" - (Source: Wikipedia, retrieved July 28, 2024).
Many other sex scandals and legal suits had been filed relating Pastor Earl Paulk's sexual abuse at Chapel Hill church. Jessica Battle, a college student, and Mona Manning Brewer, Sunday school teacher and church vocalist, are two noted Earl Paulk victims.

THE ROLLER COASTER RIDE FROM HELL ON EARTH - A SEX ADDICTS JEZEBEL SPIRITUAL JOURNEY OF CONCUR, POWER & CONTROL...
By Synthia Esther
It didn't take long for me to realize the relationship I was in provided me with a one of a kind experience of turbulent up and down emotions. I have since nicknamed the psychological, mind-draining relationship; " The Roller Coaster Ride From Hell On Earth." I have ridden the roller coaster, gotten off and said good-bye to the amusement park. I admit, the ride looked like fun (it always does), with all the multi-colored bright lights and lively music. But when the lights go out and your left high in the sky sitting strapped, buckled and secured with a metal bar across your body, you feel captive sitting in the red, white, and blue metal painted seat with no padding. The night sky with all its hovering darkness looks frightening, vast and gloomy. The lively music is long gone with crickets, toads and night owls providing the background music to my lost in space, twilight zone disorientation.
I looked down suddenly realizing that I was all alone with no one manning the control panel to help bring me back down to the starting position. With my legs and feet cramped, I sat high, perched in mid-air wondering how and why this had happened to me? Horrified and in shock, I yelled and screamed in desperation for someone to help me, but no one was there to listen. As the long night played on... the looming silence prevailed.
With a weary voice, I said a prayer to God in the silence of the night while looking up into the midnight black and starry sky He created. It was at this moment I realized I had once again placed my loving Holy Father second in life. My tears were dried up and long gone, as I suddenly realized it was me who chose to ride the tall, huge and scary roller coaster. I had no one to blame but myself. It was me who paid the price of admission and bought the ticket. All because I thought it would be fun. For a brief time it was fun, now I know that was just a lure to get me involved in the circus ride.
Praying to God for forgiveness and help, the daylight broke and the sunlight began to shine as the man who managed the roller coaster control panel arrived for work. I yelled as loudly as I could, "Help, please... help, I need your help to get me down from here!" He finally looked up with squinted eyes and a grimacing smile shouting back, "Oh, I am so sorry, I didn't realize I left you up there all night. I'll make it up to you. You can ride for free the next time around!" Shaking my head and shouting "no", he turned the roller coaster on, and I finished the ride returning to the starting position.
With my feet planted firmly on solid ground I positively affirmed, "I don't like roller coasters very much after all. In fact, I never want to see or get on one again for the rest of my life!" He then smiled and in a whisper replied, "I learned a long time ago that I don't like them either, that's why I work the control panels that power them! But Missy you better be sure your making the right decision not to ride again, because there are a lot of women out there who would!" I shook my head in positive affirmation and boldly declared, "Oh, I'm sure!"
Reflecting on the learning experience, I realized God gave me back something I thought I lost during my roller coaster ride from hell. Hope in his providential grace, mercy and love to see me through. With renewed joy in my heart and a smile across my face, I asked directions to the nearest ladies room, never looking back, all the while hearing the power control managers rant of appeals for his next willing patron; " Come one, come all, to one of the greatest thrills on earth! Captivating, in-chanting pleasure, with the surprise of a lifetime! A ride you'll not soon forget, filled with allure, attraction and appeasement. Sure to titillate and tantalize your senses, we offer all the excitement and chaos you've ever dreamed of. Guaranteed, if not completely satisfied, you get to ride a second time for free!"
MORAL OF THE STORY:
An addict is always striving to control his life's roller coaster ride from hell. While his double life may come as a surprise, the outcome of pain and hardship never is. A co-dependent person may choose to ride the chaotic roller coaster a second, third, or forth time. A true lady never gets even, she says a prayer to God for his soul and simply walks away. Proverbs 20:22, Do not say, "I'll pay you back for this wrong!" Wait for the Lord, and He will deliver you. 1st Samuel 24:13, "As the old saying goes, 'From evil doers come evil deeds', so my hand will not touch you."
Save me oh God - Ps. 69. Jesus Christ is the bondage breaker, setting lost captives free-Luke 4:18.

Addiction is an escalating, often uncontrollable need and desire,
By Synthia Esther
Addiction is an escalating, often uncontrollable need and desire, which when acted upon, causes a nero-biological long lasting chemical change within the brain. You make excuses for your destructive and irrational mood swings and behavior, because you don't want to give up your addictions, nor the coping mechanisms they provide. You remain in denial concerning your addictions and the problems they create. You like what the sexual lust demons do for you, so you desire to keep them.
You will continue to do so until your behavior causes you to bottom out, and come to your wits end. To continue in your destructive habits is to ensure your untimely demise spiritually, emotionally, and physically. You most likely feel unworthy of love, which is central to the addictive cycle of pain, shame, and remorse.
Many people may ask, "How can sex become an addiction without drug involvement?" Sex is like a drug, in that it releases naturally occurring peptides such as endorphins, which correspond with the electrochemical interactions in the brain (see article at: www.sexhisway.com - "Erectile Dysfunction - and the Dopamine Connection" - by Synthia Esther).
Dr. Patrick Carnes writes in his book, Don't Call It Love - Recovery From Sexual Addiction, "These peptides parallel the molecular construction of opiates like morphine, but they are many times more powerful. We know that when experimental rats are habituated to morphine or heroin, they will go through much pain in order to obtain more. However, when the pleasure centers of the brain are stimulated, releasing endorphins, rats will go through even more suffering than they will for morphine or heroin."
Sex addict's have grandiosity at their heart's core. Listen to what the word of God declares about such self-seeking, self-serving, bias behavior..."And you felt secure in your wickedness and said, 'No one sees me,' Your wisdom and your knowledge, they have deluded you; For you have said in your heart, 'I am, and there is no one besides me.' But evil will come on you Which you will not know how to charm away; And disaster will fall on you For which you cannot atone, And destruction about which you do not know Will come on you suddenly." - Isaiah 47:10-11.
"He who conceals his sins does not prosper, but whoever confesses and renounces them finds mercy." - Proverbs 28:13.
"But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God's holy people. Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving. For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person - such a man is an idolater-has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God." - Ephesians 5:3-5,

SATAN, AND HIS LURE
Scripture reveals Lucifer (Satan, the Devil), and his nature, and mission of deception. He transforms himself into an "angel of light" (2 Corinthians 11:14). So true with the mock up of porn stars, models who are air brushed to perfection with computer enhanced images. Perfect hair. Perfect body. Perfect smile and teeth. Perfect legs, breasts, and feet with just the right fetish arch! Angels of fantasy and delight. If you were to meet these "fake" beauty's and/or he-men in real life, most often they could not, and would not, live up to your expectations.
Yet in the world of fantasy, and sexual orgasmic dreams come true, you fill fulfilled, content, beyond your wildest imagination. Why is that? You have traded the truth for a lie, in one of Satan's master, deception plans. Sex is good, when sex is deviant! Sex is good, when sex is as wild as fifty shades of grey. Sex is good when it is illicit! Yet after your grand climax, you are left limp, dull, and void! That is until the next time you seek to indulge in the fantasy trap of sexual intoxication. Such is the trap of the greatest fantasy sex on earth!
I met a fellow, single Christian male, who just happened to have viewed my photos online. A certain flaw caught his attention in one of my photos (since removed), something simple, like a broken finger nail, and chipped polish, and he told me so. It seemed to bother him. Strange behavior for a Christian, I thought. The more I got to know this man, the more I realized (it did not take long), that his actions were not that of a sincere believer.
He indeed was a fantasy sex addict who viewed women as objects. While talking with him by phone, he began to speak in broken sentences, every strange in tone and inflection, and his breathing patterns changed. I suddenly thought intuitively, "He is masturbating while talking to me on the phone".
I confronted him, and he admitted that he was indeed masturbating, and viewing my online photos, while we were talking. His phone sex was a sin betrayal, and I told him so! I distanced myself completely from this man. He is what I call, "A Spiritual Poser!" Of which there are many. Be aware, as this can and does happen.
Christian Home School advocate and founder of the institute in basic life principals, Bill Gothard, was thought by one such female victim, to have done this very thing (www.xxxhisway.com - sex addicts making the news, "Bill Gothard - Emotional Rape of the Innocent" By Synthia Esther - as reported by recoveryingrace.org.) When we betray loved ones, and those who are friends, or even acquaintances, we betray ourselves. As we will always reap what we sow (Galatians 6:7).
ADDICTED TO FANTASY? WHAT YOUR SEXUAL LUST ADDICTIONS AND TEMPTATIONS REVEAL ABOUT YOU?
WHAT YOUR SECRET SINS REVEAL
By Synthia Esther
Your fantasy sex, romance, and love addictions often reveal a lot about you. Living behind the mask of your addiction becomes a way to cope with pain, shame, rejection, abandonment, lack of love, abuse, crisis, stress, and/or anxiety. According to psychiatrist Scott Peck, author of the book, "The Road Less Traveled", a compulsive pursuit of sex and fantasy, is in reality a search for spirituality. To heal sexually and emotionally, is to heal spiritually. I have the answer to your sexual bondage and obsessive compulsive obsessions. In fact, I have the answer to all your problems in life.
The answer is a simple one formulated through out the Bible, "Fear of God." Yes, you read it right. If you "feared God" you would know that you and your family are put in spiritual blight when you break God's ordained, and good, Holy plan for your life. Your sexual lusts, temptations, acting out, are not God's will for your life. "Oh, that they had such a heart in them that they would fear Me and always keep My commandments, that it might go well with them and with their children forever!" - Deuteronomy 5:29.
"The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, to turn one away from the snares of death." - Proverbs 14:27.
These are not isolated scripture references. Moses proclaimed that fearing God within the heart provides strength to walk free from sin (Exod. 20:20). Solomon proclaimed, "By the fear of the Lord one departs from evil." - Proverbs 16:6.
So likewise in Luke 12:4-5 we read, "And I say to you, My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear Him who, after he has killed, has power to cast into hell; yes, I say to you, Fear Him!" When one fears God's spiritual authority they know, "...there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, nor hidden that will not be known." - Luke 12:2.
Sins course of evil will always bring truth to light, one always reaps what one sows. What does God have to say about this self serving, lust, sin betrayal and behavior?
"Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to God and He will come near to you." - (James 4:7-8)
"In this same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus. Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey evil desires. Do not offer the parts of your body to sin, as instruments of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God, as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer the parts of your body to Him as instruments of righteousness. For sin shall not be your master, because you are not under the law, but under grace." - (Romans 6:11-14).
"Then He said to them all; 'If anyone would come after Me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.'" - (Luke 9:23)

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
HOW DOES WANTING TO HAVE SEX BECOME AN ADDICTION?
Sex addiction is not about having sex. The underlying psychological issues concerning sex addiction are much more complex. Power, control, abandonment, abuse, neglect, narcissism, among other personality dynamics and disorders, can all play a part in the psyche of an addict. ,P. "Sex addiction is an external response to an internal need." - Synthia Esther
SYNTHIA ESTHER, YOU MENTION SEX ADDICTS OFTEN HAVE OBSESSIVE-COMPULSIVE TENDENCIES, PLEASE EXPLAIN?
A sex addict lives a life consumed with having sex. The addict's wife/husband, significant other, children, family, job, security, love, relationships, morals, convictions, character, integrity, and even health is secondary to thinking about sex, getting sex and having sex.
Sex is idealized and idolized. The sex addicts active addiction and rituals most often become obsessive-compulsive (OCD) in nature. What was once considered sexually repulsive becomes lustfully desired in the escalation process. Since the advent and anonymity of the World Wide Web, pedophilia (child and adolescent sex), bestiality (sex with animals), Dominance and submission, torture sex, as well as other deviant sexual behavior has increased.
DOESN'T THE ADDICT KNOW THEIR ACTING OUT, OBSESSIVE-COMPULSIVE BEHAVIOR IS HURTFUL AND HARMFUL TO THEMSELVES AND OTHERS?
An active addict remains in denial, having seared his/her conscious. The sex addict acts out in order to feel better and eliminate shame, upon completion of the deed, they feel the dreadful pain of remorse, shame and self hatred, which triggers their desire to act out. This simplistic yet insane double mindset sexual cycling process is the addict's attempt towards self regulation and preservation of his/her addiction.
Synthia Esther explains the sexual addiction process...
"Sex Addiction becomes an ideological, illogical, fantasy of illusion and denial in the self preservation of ego. An inflated feeling of pride and superiority is pervasive within the mind of an addict, as lust and desire becomes all encompassing, consuming and self-destructive. *Pride comes before an addicts fall." - Synthia Esther .
* "When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom." - Proverbs 11:2.
"Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall. Better to be lowly in spirit and among the oppressed than to share plunder with the proud." - Proverbs 16:18-19.
HOW DOES A SEX ADDICT STOP THE CYCLE OF ACTING OUT?
The first step towards recovery is to admit you have an addiction. You can't change what you don't acknowledge. Sex addiction begins and ends within the mind. To change your mind you have to change your thought process. When the thought to act out sexually occurs you have a matter of seconds to redirect your thoughts.
Self introspection is helped through journaling, therapy, and an acknowledged program of self introspection to gain insight, knowledge and understanding, making healing probable and remission possible.

Past Legal Legislation in helping to Eliminate Prostitution:
SWEDEN'S GROUND -BREAKING 1999 LEGISLATION
SWEDEN'S SUCCESS IN ELIMINATING PROSTITUTION - A WORLD EXAMPLE OF PROGRESS IN THE PATH OF HUMAN DIGNITY...
In 1999 Sweden's government passed law that regarded prostitution as an aspect of male violence against women and children. Prostitution in Sweden is officially acknowledged as a form of exploitation and constitutes a significant social problem. In a matter of a few years Sweden "significantly" reduced prostitution, further protecting children, women and the population as a whole, from a major source of crime. The police force went through in depth training and recourse evaluation with the sole message that the exploiter and buyers needed to be punished, with the prostitutes addressed as victims who needed to be helped.
In 2002 Sweden passed the "Act Prohibiting Human Trafficking" for additional law in the fight against sexual exploitation.
TO CHANGE OUR RESOLVE IS A MATTER OF WORLD GROUPMIND -
"As we change our world's group mind to acknowledge that prostitutes are victims of coercion, violence and crime, we change the course of our world's consensus to one of victor instead of victim in the struggle to eliminate crime, human suffering and abuse. Until such resolve is manifested, humanity will remain in the dark as evil intentions thrive. We change what we see, and ignor what we refuse to acknowledge." - Synthia Esther
PROSTITUTION LAWS IN AMERICA
* "Today, prostitution is considered a misdemeanor, punishable by a fine or a short jail sentence. In practice, most law enforcement is uneven and aims at confining illegal activities to particular areas in the city. Prostitution is illegal in all states except Nevada(in the counties in which Las Vegas and Reno are located), where it is a highly regulated business enterprise." - page 458
* "There has also been an effort to reduce prostitution and protect children forced into the life by punishing sex tourism. The Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 included a provision, referred to as the Child Sexual Abuse Prevention Act, which made it a criminal offense to travel abroad for the purpose of engaging in sexual activity with a minor. Some loopholes were closed when President George W. Bush signed the Protect Act into law in 2003." page 458.
* "...the Uniform Crime Report (UCR) indicates that about 80,000 prostitution arrests are made annually, with the gender ratio about 2 to 1 female to male. More alarming is the fact that about 1000 arrests involved minors under the age of 18, including almost 150 kids aged 15 and under." - page 454,459.
