Adult Site Becomes Christian ‘Ministry’ Site

NEWPORT, Tenn. — Webmistress Michele Washam claims she made $24,000 a month from her website Just4Ladies.com back when it was a female-oriented adult entertainment site, but these days, rather than pushing porn, the site sells salvation.

According to a Christian newspaper, Washam was burdened by the painful realization that her site was “destroying family values,” but she continued collecting monthly payments from its 7,500 members because the money was hard to give up.

Then Washam got dumped by her fiancé and, in the throws of heartache, called out to God.

“I knew instantly he was going to help me,” she said. But, as the newspaper noted, “She knew that is she was going to ask God for something, she needed to do something in return.”

Since God apparently answers prayers on a quid pro quo basis, Washam said she “immediately took down my porn site and refunded thousands of dollars.”

Needing a way to make back some of those dollars, Washam started using her site to save souls, for a fee. Today, members can pay for books, courses, prayers and coaching on asking for God’s help, usually in finding a mate.

Washam claims Just4Ladies.com now gets about 3 million hits each month and boasts a roster of 57,000 members, meaning webmasters weary of 2257 might want to consider getting into the religion racket.
