Dr. Phil,

I thank you for the contribution of information that you provide through the topics that you bring to your program.

This program brought a real concern to my heart.  Yes, I am a Christian.  Yes, I believe this is not moral behavior but, I am more concerned with the acceptance that I sensed and some of the comments from your guests than the actual acts discussed. 

This man is obviously addicted to pornography and clearly his wife is reaching out for help.  He was not shy in voicing the control these thoughts had on him.  The other couple were clearly proud of their life style and had no problem telling the thousands of listeners that they felt their "religious family members were jaded by the church".

I have three children all young adults and I am concerned for the future children.  I also watched your previous program where a young man was called some horrible names and the parents were not taking responsibility for their actions.  I watched as the majority of your audience were in tears and were obviously distraught.  When the cameras panned the audience during this program there was no tears.  They clapped when asked if they felt she should leave her husband but during the couples interview there was more laughter than concern. 

This show needs to bring tears to our eyes as pornography is why many of our children are molested.  Pornography is why many families are ending in divorce.  Pornography is why many women are raped.  Permissive sex is why so many of our young adults cannot keep relationships and our children end up with single parents and why young teens end up parents. 

This was a show that in my opinion should have had a deeper emotional response but due to our "conditioning" through the different entertainment avenues we are numb.  It concerned me that the couple blatantly announced that there were regular gatherings at their club that equaled or out numbered your audience.   This conditioning is why that young man on your previous show was being abused by his parents and they weren't getting it. 

I continue to pray for families and this nation.  I have never responded to your program before but I just couldn't keep this to myself.

God bless you as you attempt to penetrate the numbness of this nation.
