Pastor: Porn sold at Batas

 By GABRIEL FITO

A PASTOR has warned people to stay away from the pornographic materials and drugs to improve sexual performance sold at the PNG Indonesian Trade Center at Batas.

Assemblies of God church northern regional Supt Pastor Ivan Lesley said nude pictures and sexual explicit pictures loaded on flash drives and memory cards were sold at stalls in Batas.

“They are also selling medicines and injections for males and females to improve their sexual performances which directly contradict our Christian belief,” he said.

“I call on all citizens of our country to be wary of this danger which is set to cause disunity among families and put our children’s future at stake.”

He said these materials had already been brought across the border and sold in Vanimo, Aitape, Wewak and Maprik.

He urged people to be careful about choosing electronic devices and equipment such as flash drives, memory cards, cameras, computers and mobile phones sold on the street and in some shops. 

Pr Lesley said he had also counseled some couples who had marital problems. 

He found out that the wives were refusing to sleep with their husbands after realising that they had been injected with drugs.

“It’s very dangerous also for our children because most of them have mobile phones and can easily access these pictures from memory cards,” he said.
