Help Women and Men Recover from Porn
by Shelley Lubben
Below are some of the precious women and men we have helped to rebuild their lives after porn. We are not able to share all of their stories due to some preferring to stay anonymous but they are definitely recovering and receiving help from Pink Cross.
To continue helping precious women and men we need Target cards to help them with new clothes, baby needs and household supplies, books, Bibles and resources to recover and also need bath and beauty supplies for outreaches. We also accept vehicles and property!
We currently reach out to THOUSANDS of women and men in porn throughout the year and because of your generosity, hundreds of women and men have walked away from a life of porn.
PLEASE SUPPORT OUR UNIQUE AND IMPORTANT MISSION AND HELP US CONTINUE TO REACH OUT TO PRECIOUS WOMEN AND MEN BY DONATING HERE. We can not do it without you so please have a heart and invest in these beautiful lives below. Thank you!
Madelyne, formerly known as porn star Michelle Avanti, came to Pink Cross for help in January, 2009, when she cried out to God because she couldn’t live the porn lifestyle anymore. God heard her cry and she is now living a new life thanks to many of you who donated! She also gave birth to a beautiful baby girl in August, 2009, so please send in baby clothes in good condition for size 1 year and above. Madelyne also wants to attend beauty school and move closer to Shelley in Bakersfield where team members can help care for her and the baby.

Ryan writes in his testimony, "Last Christmas I got a call from Shelley asking me for my address. She wanted to help me because I was having a difficult time and I was low on money for food. About 3 days later I got a package in the mail from a foundation named The Pink Cross Foundation. I opened it up wondering what the Pink Cross was and who this was from. It was from Shelley and her husband Garret and the people at Pink Cross. I got a BIBLE and some other books as well as a DVD named Traffic Control. There was also a gift card for the grocery store and Home Depot. I was floored!"

Where is Jersey Jaxin (Tanya W)? Is she okay?
‘Help Women and Men Recover from Porn.’
HAHAHAHAHA
Recover?
HAHAHAHAHA
Why the hell somebody wants to *recover* from something as good as porn? Unless he/she is a fucking failure and can’t get hired and can’t make it in porn; that’s of course when god comes in. Case in point, drug junkie Sierra Sinn who hit the rock buttom and resorted to stealing from other girls’ purses on porn sets before she found god; or scumbag Desi Foxxx who resorted to pimping her own daughter just to fail at that, too.
Shelly, I challenge you to name one successful performer who had ever quit porn to join you and find god. You can’t name even one person, because such person does not exist; all you can do is recruiting drop outs and losers and rejects just so you can turn them into your poster children and use them as a tool to milk those nut jubs who donate to you and pay your goddamn bills. You know it, and I know it, so you better cut the crap and go bark at someone else’s tree.
P.S: Stop writing entire sentences in capital letters, you fool. Capital letters won’t make your bullshit any more significant.
I always look forward to comments from the Colonel. One of these days maybe you’ll stop hiding behind your computer and actually come up to me and tell me these lovely things to my face?
And yes, I can name successful performers who quit porn and joined me and found God. Just read above or check out my web site. I am pretty sure that women who made hundreds of movies were considered “successful” in the biz. I know their fans sure thought so.
Anyways, I love you but I encourage you to stop hiding behind the computer and instead have the courage to say these things to my face.
Instead, I CHALLENGE YOU to be bold enough to do it. But I know you won’t.
But I do love you Colonel. You help me more than you know. You keep me on my toes sweetie!
Love and prayers,
Shelley
I want to meet God. He must have lots of money by now with all the tax- free donations.
Are you serious, Shelly? Tell me what are you gonna do if I call you what you are in your face? Are you gonna give me a blow job then, or are you gonna pray for the salvation of my mortal soul?
See, you can’t bullshit here. Any whore who starts in the adult industry will eventually feature in tens of titles released by various companies. The average whore lasts somewhere between 6 months to 2 years in this industry. After that, those who have a shred of dignity, seek careers elsewhere and start their lives all over; while the desperate buttom feeders and the lowest of the low join you and become your tools to milk crazy right wingers, religious nut jobs and radical white supremacists. In other words, a whore who has featured in a bunch of movies and lasted 6 months to 2 years in this industry, is not considered a successful whore, she’s considered an average whore. Successful whores are the likes of Nina Hartley, Rayveness and Jenna Haze; those who stand the test of time and gain a reputation in the adult industry. Convert any of them if you can, then come back and ask for my pocket change.
In the meantime, go fuck yourself.
Sky Lopez was successful and hot as hell and became born again
Perhaps it would have been wiser to donate a large box of condoms and other ‘family planning’ devices, so these former porn girls could have a little less on their plate as they go forth into their new lives…
Or am I missing something? As it looks to me that women who leave Porn Valley get via Pink Cross get a Bible, care-package, and a fatherless child to raise on the taxpayer’s increasingly thin dime.
sierra sinn julie looks worst now, she is a “rave dj” so i have no doubt that she is on ecstasy, acid and more shit.. she looks like shit now..
Funny how these girls never got knocked up in a porn shoot but have babies. Rayveness seems to have a strong faith in Jesus but doesnt preach, she also has her life in decent order. If you look at this roster, its not exactly first rate. Maybe Shelley should work on helping someone like Janine or Chasey.
Shelley, what is your view on a woman’s right to safe, legal abortion?
Have you gotten any gay pornstars out of the lifestyle? Can they be gay and still be Christian(not xxx lol)?
Or Larry, what about all of the Jewish porn girls. Doesn’t Shelley have enough love for them, or do they not fit into her Christian theology?
Or what if, forbid there was a Mormon porn girl. Don’t Christians look down on Brigham Young and his ‘religion’.
Just don’t forget the Scientologist porn girls Shelley! They also need help getting out from under a suitcase pimp’s thumb…
Sierra Sinn, last we’ve heard from her, is still smoking pot, DJing and working as a grocery store clerk. Not exactly the Barnard degree that was implied with a new life, but whatever.
Don’t expect any answers to these perfectly reasonable critiques, folks. Shelley won’t be honest about those who didn’t take to the “saving” process or fit the lock-step Christian-only correct path.
This is funny because I banged more than half of those whores. The black bitch did check fraud on my company bank account if you guys remember by steeling one of my checks from another porn whore Kenzi Marine that she was staying with. This post just shows how many porn whores ran out of work and should have signed up on new sites
I wonder how these girls feel about you exploiting pictures of their children on a site about porn for your cause. I may have appeared pregnant but NEVER would any of my childrens’ pictures be aloud on any website that has anything to do with porn! Exploiting these girls children is even more reprehensible that exploiting the girls themselves! You truly make my skin crawl and maybe you’d actually hear God’s voice if you’d stop trying speak for Him, he’s perfectly capable of that Himself.
Nobody answered my question!? Why isn’t the ex-porn star Jersey Jaxin listed in this update? She probably had the most traumatic story of all the Pink Cross girls….
I mean, sexual abuse is a hard thing to overcome. If you need us to keep her in our thoughts and prayers, we can do that, Shelly. We aren’t heartless…
who the fuck are these women? i’ve never heard of one of them. looks like a rogues gallery of dead beats who couldn’t manage money and now rely on charity to survive.
Jersey Jaxin, Sophia Lynn and many others has the same childhood.
And yes, that is fucked up, and they will be most likely fucked up for life. They are the ones that really need help.
I can name at least two other well known still very active PWs who have similar issues. But I wont.
They do not like to talk about that and one denied that when asked in public despite the fact she acknowledges it in private.
The might need lots of counseling and pshychatric care, and if religion is their cup of tea, a caring LIBERAL church or synagogue. In my experience evangelicals, especially the fundamentalist ones, have a terrible record of dealing with mentally ill people. They are too judgmental and have to much faith in magic (you are saved now, everything must be OK, mental illnes comes from Satan) to deal with mentally ill women.
Jed “looks like a rogues gallery of dead beats who couldn’t manage money and now rely on charity to survive.”
Or occasional moonlighting as you-know-what…
Donny Long “This post just shows how many porn whores ran out of work and should have signed up on new sites”
Signed up where? CL basically shut down their ‘red-light cyberdistrict’.
craigslist is a scam forum run by Nigerian scam artist posting on there to get pictures for tagged.com and other bs websites. They also had Lexi Belle on there the other day with a Bang Bros pic….Now I wonder why nobody is “legit” on there anymore! Craigslist is full of shit!

Good question. Did you forget to put Jersey on the list, Shelley? Is she turning tricks now and off your list?
I always thought she needed help: Her name was “Jersey” but she had a tattoo of Texas on her. At least that’s not as bad as calling yourself “Texas” and having a tattoo of New Jersey.
Most,if not All of these people are as poor as a church mouse. Clearly they didn’t have much success in porn or anything else. I admire those who do a good job and make a go of it.
“Most,if not All of these people are as poor as a church mouse. Clearly they didn’t have much success in porn or anything else.”
They may not be the most financially prosperous girls in the biz but these women got bigger balls than you to be preaching at Adult conventions and choosing to live a different life. I am amazed by their strength and character. Most of them have changed completely and some of them have defeated drug addictions and mental illness.
Look at the ex-porn star Ashley Brooke. The pictures of her then compared to now are as different as night and day.
More power to them. Seriously.
Falling into the arms of a store front preacher after trashing their career, is not my idea of someone who is “completely changed” “More Power too them”…sure, but they don’t need an ole worn out pimp like Shelly to improve their lives…Wake Up.
erin moore aka “ruth blackwell” an ir site where she fucked and sucked black cock, talking to the camera while pregnant saying she can’t wait to have a black baby. this one in the pic is white. i wonder if she does have a mixed kid?
origien, Jerzey is hooking again. Try craigslist in the Dallas area…
“origien, Jerzey is hooking again. Try craigslist in the Dallas area…”
Fuck, man–that’s bad news. And I live in Dallas… 🙁
How come Shelley didn’t say anything about her?! What about that parable about coming back for the single lost sheep?
In Jersey’s case, it’s “From Porn to God to Escorting”, I guess.
origen01 – “How come Shelley didn’t say anything about her?! What about that parable about coming back for the single lost sheep?”
Perhaps, because Shelley Lubben is a miserable failure as a religious crusader against Porn Valley and a morally reprehensible shyster (speaking hypothetically of course).
Besides Origen01, are you really that shocked/surprised that a former porn girl with severely limited job skills (meaning, it’s not like the majority of these porn girls went to college, got a BA/Masters/PhD/MBA, did a few years on Wall Street or Main Street, decided they were ‘done’ with the corporate world/private sector, wanted something more ‘fun’ in their daily lives, did porn as a lark, when the porn jobs got scarce dusted off their resume and sent it along to a job counselor/corporate head hunter, only to run into Shelley Lubben and swallow her BS hook line and sinker) wound up doing basically the same job, except it’s now in a shitty motel room and for half of what she used to get?
