ADA: Sharia, pornography, TV monitoring, broadcasting, standing up in 2012

By: American Decency Staff

 

The relentless battle goes on day by day in our embattled America. The challenges are real to us on so many fronts.

For those of you who have stood with us during this past year, you are a great help and encouragement to us as we continue ministering in Christ’s Name.

If you appreciate our work, particularly those who have never given, your year-end gift would be a great encouragement to us as a demonstration that our support-base is increasing despite the despairing times.

One thing is clear. Each of us is called to be faithful. By the grace of God, we will be!

An important aspect of the work of the American Decency Association is to educate, inform, exhort, convict and encourage.

Here is a short list of ADA accomplishments for 2012 followed by a link for a full review of 2012.

First the short list:

* Continued our aggressive television monitoring against targeted shows and influenced the cancellation of All American Muslim, Are You There, Chelsea?, and GCB after numerous corporations dropped their ads.

* Began a one minute radio program “A Decency Minute” that currently airs nationally, Monday – Friday, on Sirius XM’s “Family Talk” satellite radio and also airs in West Michigan on American Family Radio (91.7 FM). This broadcast gives a tremendous opportunity to speak into the hearts and minds of listeners on a variety of spiritual and salt and light topics.

 *  Spoke with and gave counsel to numerous individuals who sought our help regarding a personal struggle with pornography or have a spouse or family member who are struggling with this concern.  These calls came as a direct result of our radio broadcast, church bulletin insert, or daily email alerts. Keeping a list of recommended Christian counselors who specialize in this area, we also refer individuals to a professional counselor.

 *  At the request of a local concerned citizen, testified at a city council hearing in Mt. Pleasant, MI regarding a gay rights ordinance.  Out of hundreds in attendance, Bill Johnson, representing ADA, was  the only one who spoke in opposition. 

Our monitoring list in 2012 has included: All American Muslim; the debauched Are You There, Chelsea?; GCB – (“Good Christian B—ches”) – blatant Christian bigotry; Sister Wives which promotes polygamy; Glee – targeting our youth; The New Normal – pushing the gay agenda; the perverse Fox shows – Fam- ily Guy, American Dad, and The Cleveland Show; Don’t Trust the B—- in Apt. 23; and numerous others. Staff members monitor the programs for content, make record of the advertisers, research corporate contact information and email addresses, and update our advertiser database. We warn parents and viewers of concerning content and urge corporations not to support destructive, immoral messages with their advertising.

* Informed and educated on the threat of radical Islam, stealth Jihad, and the insidious efforts to slowly implement Sharia Law within our judicial system.

* Worked diligently within the boundaries of our C(3) non-profit status to encourage Christians to register to vote and to vote for biblical values during the 2012 election season and distributed over 4,000 voter guides locally.

* Made concerted efforts to rally pastors (sadly, with little success) encouraging them to speak into the issues of the day in keeping with God’s Word and urge their congregation to be salt and light in the culture and political arenas.

* Held our annual summer event featuring Curtis Bowers, producer of the powerful documentary Agenda: Grinding America Down, and Rev. Don Wildmon, Founder of American Family Association. Both stirring presentations were enthusiastically received.

* Hosted a conference of grave importance on the topic of “Political Islam, Sharia Law, and the American Constitution,” featuring premier experts Frank Gaffney and William Wagner. This was a rare opportunity to learn about this vital concern and the large audience in attendance most definitely had their eyes opened to this stealthy, yet very real, threat America is facing today. The overwhelming response was very affirming.

* Targeted JC Penney for their embrace of the homosexual agenda with their Mother’s Day and Father’s Day ads promoting lesbian and gay parents. Shed light on other corporations also pushing the homosexual agenda such as Starbucks, General Mills, Walt Disney World, Google, Fifth Third Bank, and UPS through their corporate policies.

* Opposed Macy’s policy which allows transgender men to change in women’s dressing rooms.

*  The Friday following the presidential election we showed our DVD recording of Frank Gaffney from our event “Political Islam, Sharia Law, and the American Constitution” with a matinee and evening showing. This was quickly planned and timed to allow kindred spirits to come together after the election. Several people asked for many copies of the Gaffney DVD to distribute it. During the discussion time following the Gaffney DVD showing, a 76 year old former Marine whom we’d never met shared his love and concern for children, family and nation. He was a patriot who clearly loved the Lord, weeping for our nation’s lack of discernment – he needed to get it off of his chest. With him was his granddaughter, a young high school student, also burdened over what is happening in our country. This teen shared her heartache that a teacher mocked her subject choice when she said she wanted to write a research paper on terrorism. Fellow students in the critique time after the oral presentation of her paper thought it funny that she would write on terrorism. This teen asked to get involved in community service with ADA.
