She blew a considerable sum from the church coffers getting those videos destroyed.

This New York mom has gone from porn star to the pulpit. Crystal Bassette, 33, ditched her lucrative career in the porn industry and her lavish Los Angeles lifestyle to become a church pastor in the small town of Fulton, New York.
“It is definitely the ultimate change. It’s going from one extreme to the next. I had to get away from this whole life,” Bassette told Barcoft Media, referring to her 10-year stint doing porn.
She said, “The day I was saved, I felt like the preacher was just speaking to me directly. It was like he was preaching to only me and you know that day I felt God was talking to me through his preaching and everything he said felt right.”
When Bassette left the porn industry she went to college to become a paralegal and trained as a pastor.
Soon after marrying David, the two founded their own church together called New Beginnings Christian Life where they hope to inspire others.

Are there really people who eat desert first?
Why?
When I am stuffed to the gills it always seems you can add a couple of spoons of something sweet
FR has strayed so far from its roots.

“In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.” Jesus Luke 5:10
If the angels in heaven are rejoicing, we should too. It is interesting that the next thing Jesus does is tell the story of the Prodigal Son, which includes the story of the brother who does not rejoice when his wayward brother returns home to his father.
He told me it was because he was afraid he might not have room for dessert if he ate the meal first. So he ate dessert first.
There. Fixed it.
More at source, all of which are SFW. Some are obviously Before and some are After, but none will shock the wife.
Ten years in porn and she has to be getting a bit long in the tooth. Still, if she has found the Lord then all blessings are upon her.
I struggle with the notion of women pastors. While the Bible suggests women should be silent, the first person the Lord encountered after His resurrection was Mary Magdaline whom He instructed to go and tell evryone. I’m thinking that means its OK.
$300,000 per year gets you a house in Malibu and 7 cars including a Ferrari? Something doesn’t quite add up.
THAT, is an over simplification and not entirely true. If it were, Paul wouldn’t have made such a big deal about sexual sin in particular.
Bassette – who has been featured in more than 100 adult films, making over $300,000 a year – turned to the life of porn as a means to support her son Justin after she became pregnant with him at 16.
Shades of Traci Lords! She started porn at 16? Thats a bit illegal, innit?
for someone so guilty she is certainly NOT GUILTY
That is not an oversimplification. Forgiveness of sin is just that forgiveness.
Praise God.
Let’s just say that if Carly Fiorina ever has a movie made about her, this lady could play a younger version of Carly.
They both have long faces and lean athletic builds.
Make up, lighting and attitude can change the entire impression.
Sam Kinison washed out as a preacher, too.
Christians know that there is a test for who is a true Christian and who is not....
If you look elsewhere in scripture it says the greatest sin is unbelief. So sins do not carry equal weight.
“Whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; they are guilty of an eternal sin” (Mark 3:28).
Good story on Jane ......

No. She’s not perfect. But I am happy for her. Thankfully, we have a forgiving and merciful God.
And why is it that any female who does porn films is automatically labeled a "porn star"?
