I would assume that if a person doesn't want someone interfering with their addiction while at the same time knowing what the church teaches regarding porn, they would do all in their power to keep things a secret. Correct???
In that case, my feeling would be that if someone is asking for help, the cruelest (and least wise) thing a person could do would be to bring more attention to the problem by sitting someone down or disciplining in any way. Why discipline? If the person is asking for help, then God has already done the disciplining. At least that would be my view of how this works.
But then I'm VERY glad that I am not a pastor and don't have to deal with things like this. God bless and guide those of you who are in that position is my prayer!

I think this is very wise. That is exactly the conclusion I would come to! If someone is asking, they want free!
