Happy Sunday - The Trinity Project
Saw this on Luke Is Back:
Quote:
Trinity James (seven months pregnant with her second child, the other kid is six, she was conceived the first time Trinity had sex) calls me back Monday night, October 9, 2006.
I want to hear from her and husband Josh about the demise of the Trinity Project. I read the *********'s report here.
Trinity, 22, and Josh take up the last 20 pages of Pastor Craig Gross's book, The Dirty Little Secret: Uncovering the Truth Behind Porn. It makes them sound like they are trapped in porn and dying to get out.
Trinity received $14,400 in help from the *********. "They're more out for themselves than anyone else," says Trinity. "If they can use someone else to get there, so be it. We had a falling out because they wanted me to divorce my husband."
Pastor Craig Gross of the ********* denies this. It would be unusual for a conservative Christian such as himself to push anyone to divorce.
Trinity: "Them trying to get me to divorce my husband wasn't the only reason we had a falling out. It was over many different things but ever since I decided I was going to work on my marriage, they didn't want to help anymore. Kind of a coincidence huh?
"They need stupid girls who aren't smart enough to figure things out. They put it out that I want their money, but I don't want their money. That's the problem. I kept telling them that I was done with them but they just kept going. Now they've dropped anything about me from their website and any time I post, they delete it. They don't want people to know the truth. From what they had on there, everything was perfect. "I was doing great." We haven't been doing great since I got out of the industry.
"I went out and got a good job [after leaving porn]. I'm a certified nurse's assistant. He's got a decent job. It's not about the money. It is about the way I went about leaving the industry. I up and went and got screwed."
Luke: "Screwed from what?"
Trinity: "From not saving... It's hard to explain. They are just out for the publicity. They made more money off my name than they were supposed to [in donations]. They wouldn't give me the money when I needed it. "We're not helping you no more unless you divorce him."
"Josh doesn't care if I work in the sex industry. It's my choice. He didn't care when I left. He doesn't care if I go back.
"It all started... He's got his problem with porn like any guy has. They should be helping guys like that, but they don't want to help him. They just told him to grow up. It was very disrespectful. Some of the things coming out of their mouths, I didn't expect to hear from a pastor. "He's an asshole. He just needs to grow up and get a job."
"We've saved all the emails.
"If it wasn't for my husband's mom, we wouldn't have made it.
"They never really gave us cash. They paid for the things we needed. They paid for my schooling. They paid off our obligations. I appreciate every dime. I could've done it myself if I had saved my own money.
"It's all weird."
Luke: "Did you want out of the porn industry?"
Trinity: "Yeah. At the time, I wanted out. I wanted to knuckle down and raise my family. I'm not going to say it [leaving porn] was the best choice in the world."
"I don't regret getting in. It might've been a mistake. Who knows?"
"I regret the way I got out. I left myself in a position to have nothing. I'd worked my ass off, literally, for three years and had nothing to show for it."
Luke: "Why didn't you have anything to show for it?"
Trinity: "When my ex and I split up, it was a big battle and he took everything. He emptied the bank accounts and took everything from the house. I started from scratch again."
Luke: "You made a lot of money. You must've blown the money."
Trinity: "I wasted a lot of money just like every girl out there."
Luke: "How many Christian talk shows did you do?"
Trinity: "Just that one. It was weird. It was my first time being around that crowd of people with my clothes on. They were all trying to get more out of me than what they did. Even on that show, I never dogged the industry. I said it wasn't meant for some people. I've never done like this girl [Chrissy Moran] is doing now. I've never put anybody down. It was my choice to get in and my choice to get out. Nobody forced me to do it.
"I had that Shelley Lubben chick email me months ago that it was illegal what they did to me and that I should press charges. How do you press charges when you sign a model release? I did it by my own choice. I never did drugs or porn parties. I did my job and I went home to my kid."
Luke: "So where are you and God?"
Trinity: "I believe in God but I am not a religious person. My husband's Christian. He met these guys before I did. He went to them to try to get away from the industry. He was bringing them girls. When I met him, he said, 'You should talk to them.' I have no problem talking to anybody.
"They were using him.
"It irks me that they are finding more people naive enough to fall for it. They emailed me that I should keep my mouth shut because they're working with other girls and that I shouldn't make it look bad for them. That's why I never responded to Mike South. But now I see this girl [Crissy Moran] and she's going to go through the same crap I did."
Luke: "How do you feel about Pastor Craig Gross?"
Trinity: "That he needs a new line of work."
"What they want to do can be done, but they are going about it the wrong way. They shouldn't expect [porners] to change their life in one day and drop everything. They expect you to leave your whole life behind. They paid for me to move to Indiana. They never once came out to visit me and try to help us find jobs. We only heard from them when we emailed them. They had the publicity so it didn't matter."
Luke: "Have you ever had anyone invest so much in you as the ********* did?"
Trinity: "It's not them. It's the people who donated the money."
Luke: "You accepted the help of the *********. What did you owe them in return?"
Trinity: "The deal was that I would stay out of porn, which I did. I was supposed to stay in contact with that Shelley Lubben chick but I just don't get along with her. All the stuff she was trying to do, I just didn't believe in. She thinks girls in porn have these issues. Girls at McDonalds have the same issues."
"I got my CNA [Certified Nurse's Assistant license]. I'm working on a medical/dental/office assistant [license] now. I'm not a stupid person. I can do a normal job."
Luke: "Did your porn past follow you to Indiana?"
Trinity: "We visited a few adult stores and quite a few of my videos were on the shelves."
Luke: "Did it affect your life in Indiana?"
Trinity: "No."
"At one point I thought about coming back to porn to just put a boot in their program, but it is not worth it."
Luke: "Do you regret getting involved with the *********?"
Trinity: "Yes, it is the thing in the industry I regret. The people who were supposed to make my life better made it worse. I was a lot happier when I was in the industry. It was a lifestyle. My freedom. I was in control. I could be home with my children. I watched my daughter grow up. Now I watch her go to daycare. I had a lot more time with my husband. Now we hardly see each other. I miss the attention."
"After the baby is born, we're moving back to Vegas."
