EDIT: I have not read Clouds "expose" on Pearl, as far as I can recall. I have read a lot of cloud's stuff, but I don't recall reading anything about pearl, and if I did, I didn't quote it, because I have read pearl's tract where he says it anyway.
God bless

I'm sorry you've had to struggle in this area, but I am glad to hear of the victory you are experiencing in Christ. I did a lot of wicked things before I got saved and they didn't all disappear over night after I got saved, but I thank God for His forgiveness, mercy, patience, and abounding grace and the many truths He has revealed to me. I've always thought Pearl's booklet on pornography was harsh, but then I don't face rapists, murderers, and molesters every week at a prison like he does. I still highly recommend his commentary on Romans 1-8 and the book "Eight Kingdoms".
