Criticism of Watchtower magazine's anti-pornographic bigotry

I strongly disagree with the Watchtower magazine's as published by the fundamentalist Christian denomination of the JW's view of pornography inspiring emotional and sexual cheating.  That isn't true.  I am a former JW and an atheist and am familiar with studies on porn and the JW's view is one of bias and ignorance based on the fallible writings of ancient Jewish and Christian religious leaders. The magazine's quotes from medical professionals that wrongly compare porn consumption to cocaine addiction do not share the names of the said doctors.  Nor is the boy named " Brian" who claimed porn consumed his mind telling a very convincing story.  Porn does not consume your mind, it can be quite healthy and actually prevent cheating when the other spouse or lover isn't around. Also, I don't believe that porn makes married couples' unfaithful to each other and why must this be limited to married couples and not unmarried couples as well?  I know why of course but married couples are not better than unmarried couples who also watch porn and do not cheat on their lovers.  Addiction to porn is not the same as smoking crack cocaine.  Watching porn on a computer might cause viruses but watching porn is not harmful when compared to crack addiction which can cause death. Addiction to porn just causing sperm-stained beds whereas addiction to cocaine can cause white lungs which can prove to be fatal.
