Why "Tawana" Endorses CovenantEyes.com...
You may be wondering what's the deal with the articles about www.CovenantEyes.com? And why would "Tawana" want to have this information on her site?
Well, to start with, there are scores of people from all walks of life that have been affected by Internet Pornography (Refer to the Online Danger Article for statistics). There's been those who are the ones who are addicted or have been tempted "to look" while surfing the internet & his/her family members who are affected & hurt by his/her addiction. Internet Pornography is a very serious thing, affecting young and old, alike. It starts out small (it grows in the dark as a secret) and grows to the point of addiction and sometimes worse. It affects the way you view the opposite gender. It's been the downfall of many families, resulting in Adultery and Divorce as well as other things. There's people who are "good citizens", church leaders, and family members who you'd never suspect who has this addiction. Children can even slip (& have) into viewing pornography on the internet. It can really affect them as they grow into adulthood. And it affects their relationships as well as every aspect of their life. So, as you can see, it affects people from all walks of life-no matter what age, race, gender, or nationality.
Personally, I've never had the addiction myself. But I have known people in my life through friendships and working relationships, who have/had internet addictions or had a spouse who was addicted to Internet Pornography. And it ended their marriage. 100% of the time, it was people who I'd have never suspected. So, it's been a personal thing to me. I'm tired of the devil using this sin (or any to be exact) to break up marriages and tear down families. And I'm very passionate about doing what I can for the Lord to fight Internet Pornography as well as the Pornography Industry as a whole (I'm even donating a $1.00 from every CD that I sell during my 2nd run of CDs). That is why I partnered with www.CovenantEyes.com. It's more than a business trying to sell you Accountability & or a Filtering Software system to put on your computer. They're also a ministry that wants to help people who struggle by offering their services at an affordable price & providing resources on a more personal level as well. Their system has been developed to be "extremely difficult" to get around. And it's been out on the market the longest. As far as recommendations (besides mine), "Focus On The Family" (James Dobson) endorses www.CovenantEyes.com.
So, take a look at the articles about CovenantEyes.com. This accountability & or filtering system can also be utilized by Parents who want their kids protected while they're on the net, and businesses/churches/organizations who want internet responsibility/integrity in their workplace. If you want to try this service, the first month is free. And for individual users, it's $7.99/month (special rates for businesses/churches/organizations). Which, is a very inexpensive way to get "free" & "stay free". Make sure to input my promo code: tjalbert if you decide to go directly into their site. If you click on the banner on www.Tawana.org, you won't have to remember my promo code (It's automatically locked in there). Make sure to check out the articles on my site as well as going to www.CovenantEyes.com for testimonies of people who have been delivered from this type of addiction. Also, if you know someone who's struggling, please make sure to tell them about www.CovenantEyes.com.
Covenant Eyes Accountability
Fight Back. Get Free, Stay Free...
Surveys show at least 70 percent of men and 21 percent of women struggle with online pornography. Escape the temptation by removing the secrecy of the Internet with Covenant Eyes Accountability software.
Once Covenant Eyes software is installed on a Windows or a Mac computer, it monitors and records all web activity and scores all sites according to maturity of content. This information is presented in a customizable Accountability Report that is emailed to the Accountability Partner(s) of your choice. Partners may choose how often they receive the report by email. Both Partners and Members (those who use Covenant Eyes software) may also review reports from our online Member Center. Because our reports provide scoring, Partners and Members can easily identify mature web addresses, searches, links, and more. The Accountability Report also shows trends for websites viewed and bar charts that show the times of day and night when the Internet was accessed. While other accountability programs are easily circumvented, Covenant Eyes is simply the strongest, most frequently updated accountability service available.
Multiple username discounts are available for families and organizations. Each username will generate its own report even though the computer is shared with other Covenant Eyes users. Once you sign up for a username, download our software to as many as five computers at no extra charge.
Covenant Eyes Filtering
Guard Your family...
Protect your family with the Covenant Eyes Filter service, which is only compatible with Windows PCs. The Accountability software is available for Macs, but the filter is not yet compatible with the Mac operating system.
Different Filter settings may be created for each username, even if several usernames are used on the same computer. For instance, choose more restrictive settings for your child's username and less strict settings for your own username. Covenant Eyes is flexible and grows with the preferences you request. Or simply use the Covenant Eyes Filter at its standard settings for outstanding family protection.
The CE Filter may be used with the Accountability service or by itself. If you want multiple usernames on the same computer, choose which services are used by each person - Accountability, Filtering or both.
The CE Filter also provides numerous other options. Decide the times of day the Internet may be used, and decide how much time per day or per week the Internet may be surfed under each username. Choose whether to block or to allow specific websites, and this option can be applied differently to each username. This software can be used to help block instant messaging, file sharing, and other protocols. Finally, you can decide which Members may or may not override the Filter.

What Covenant Eyes Members Are Saying:
This is the best system I've seen by a long shot. When you know your accountability partner is going to see where you've been surfing, it has a way of sucking the life out of temptation. It's amazing how this service has positively affected other areas of my life, too-R.Andrescik, editor, New Man Magazine.
Just wanted to send a thank you to the team who makes Covenant Eyes possible. This program is a blessing from God. The temptation to view impure websites has been eliminated to a great degree and I have remained pure of pornography since installing this program. Thank you.-Rob

Freedom with Integrity
Internet Danger You Should Know About...
*By the end of 2004, there were 420 million pages of pornography (LaRue, Jan. "Obscenity and the First Amendment." Summit on Pornography. Rayburn House Office Building. Room 2322. May 19, 2005).
*The largest group of viewers of Internet porn is children between ages 12 and 17 (Family Safe Media, December 15, 2005)
*5 stages to addiction: Early exposure, addiction, escalation, desensitization, and acting out sexually. This addiction is a sin committed with the mind and then, with the body, by acting out. It can destroy individuals, children, families, marriages, and our testimony for Jesus Christ.
*The Internet pornography industry generates $12 billion dollars in annual revenue – larger than the combined annual revenues of ABC, NBC, and CBS (Family Safe Media, January 10, 2006)
*Pornographers ‘disguise' their sites with common brand names and misspellings designed to "entrap" people. (Ex: ESPN and Disney.)
*Pornography in many forms is invading people's homes and is available 24 hrs a day. In a short period of time the Internet has become the most exploited instrument of perversion known to man.
*51% of Pastors say Internet pornography is a possible temptation. 37% say it is a current struggle. (Christianity Today, Leadership survey, Dec 2001.) 4 in 10 pastors have visited a porn website.
*Pornography is physically more addicting that cocaine and ‘imprints' the mind with images. Overcoming pornography addiction takes years, and may affect you and everyone around you, the rest of your life.
*A recent study by focus on the Family, (March 2000) shows 1 in 5 adults, 20%, which is nearly 40 million people, have visited a sexually oriented web site.
*Today's Christian Woman in 2003 found that one in six women (17%) including Christians, struggles with pornography addiction.
*Previously, if you wanted pornographic material you could buy a magazine, video, or visit some establishment. All of these put you at ‘risk' of being found out. Now, with computers being used in private, unaccountable settings, people can find and view hardcore pornography right in their homes and offices. This can quickly escalate into an addiction with great harm brought to individuals, children, wives and families.
*Prevention: Pornography addiction, and the destruction it causes, can be prevented by recognizing the danger, and taking immediate action. You never know when temptation will strike. Protect yourself, your family and your marriage. Sign up to Covenant Eyes today! Visit: http://www.covenanteye.com/?pomocode=tjalbertand be accountable in all of your Internet activity.
*Commercial pornography sites:
*74 percent display free teaser porn images on the homepage, often porn banner ads.
*66 percent did not include a warning of adult content.
*11 percent included such a warning, but did not have sexually explicit content on the homepage.
*25 percent prevented users from exiting the site (mousetrapping).
*Only 3 percent required adult verification.
(Child-Proofing on the World Wide Web: A Survey of Adult Webservers, 2001, Jurimetrics. National Research Council Report, 2002).
* According to the Florida Family Association, PornCrawler, their specialized software program, identified 20 U.S. companies that accounted for more than 70 percent of 297 million porn links on the Internet.
* According to comScore Media Metrix, 71.9 million people visited adult sites in August 2005, reaching 42.7 percent of the Internet audience.
