Craigslist strikes adult services under pressure

Back about four years ago, Craigslist started blocking, taking down and otherwise refusing to run ads in the General category for such things a Bible studies or Bible study materials. One such ad that we ran was:
Did God really say You must be Born Again?
Send any size donation and a long self addressed stamped envelope to:
and then our address
For a full and accurate Bible study on what God says, in His book, regarding Born Again.
Craiglist claimed this violated their user agreement or one thing or another. So, I and other online Christian organizations sent e-mails to our entire list asking them to look at Craigslist in their area and anything that looked as if it violated local, county or state vice laws, should be forwarded to the appropriate AG with a note telling him or her to get to the bottom of this now or his or her replacement would after the next election.
At first Craigslist fought, now they have surrendered, so while they tried to hinder the Bible, they instead cleaned up their own site and freed it from most of the porn.
And for that I am grateful to all who took part in our campaign to rid craigslsit of porn and to at the same time flex our Christian muscle a little.

It's good to see that you Thumpers believe in individual freedoms,and like so many of you claim,I was wrong when I said you would try to demand everybody live according to your cult beliefs.

If there's a market for it, it will be there, and you can't stop it.
Worry about your own congregation.

As long as I am touting the ChristianPatriot.com horn, go to www.ChristianPatriot.com/search. htm and put Psalm 109 in the search box and see where the idea came from.

#13. To: Lord Vader (#7) I'm afraid you miss the point, the point is that had the prono people left us alone, had the smut people left us alone, then we would not have gone after them. Go back and read the ad I had submitted for ACP, had they, the forces of hate, not gone after it, not pushed CL to ban it, we would never have gone after them. How can I say that? Well no one but no one uses the ACP mailing list without my approval.

#17. To: Sven Golly (#8) (Edited) Where will all the phony born again christians get their hot gay sex hookups? The same place they get forgiveness for it,at church. See how that works? Nothing they do is their fault because "de debbil made me do it!"
Think "Celestial Affirmative Action for Thumpers". The Big Ranger in the Sky is going to forgive them for anything they do because they kiss his ass.

There's a market for humping farm animals. When shall the deprived expect, LordVadersList?

Of course the pro-porn people miss that point. They're too busy whining about the 4 millionth outlet for freaky hook-ups. And everyone knows Jerry Falwell and the "Christian Taliban" run the internets.

#24. To: BobCeleste (#0) I'm totally baffled by anyone who uses these sites in any way to give out names, photos, personal information. Do you really get much of a response from Craig's List? I would never give you personal information on that site, even if the product or service offered is interesting. JMOH <^..^> Grania posted on 2010-09-05 11:19:58 ET Reply Trace

Btw, you may refer to God as, "King of King and Lord of Lords," thank you.
