I was wondering where that came from and it probably had something to do with hearing this woman preach along with the fact that the finale of the whole series had just aired. So there was probably a lot of talk about it. There was a lot of justifying watching Thrones in the comments to Jenn from her post and she actually got some serious backlash. I mean some real twisting to justify it.
The same thing happened with Harry Potter which is straight out demonic witchcraft and many believers didn't have a issue with letting their kids read the books and watch the movies. From memory some believers were trying to find the biblical viewpoint and we're discussing it in their small groups.
Many years ago I got rebuked by a mature man who was a elder at a church of a Pastor friend because I said Harry Potter was demonic.
Many believers go to the lowest denominator when it comes to entertainment
I don't think the speaker believes that she's going to solve human trafficking just because Christians and others quit watching Game of Thrones and porn. I think she made that statement more to make a point to Christians about what they watch, and hit them pretty hard with it.
I think that is probably accurate that she was wanting to make a point but I think she needs to be careful to not make blanket statements as it can be used against her argument.
There was a time when I thought it was exciting or powerful to make big blanket statements but over the years I have seen where it can have a negative affect.
When it comes to proclaiming Gods greatness and goodness then go for it and preach big but other issues not so much
