Half of males who apply to serve as a missionary for the Southern Baptist Convention's international mission agency are turned down, according to a Baptist pastor. The primary reason is the use of internet porn.

WTF is this "Private Prayer Language" or "Charismatic Prayer" that is as bad as porn according to the SBC?  Is this a euphemism for "speaking is tongues", and why is it so bad?  I was under the impression that this was considered a form of devotion by a lot of Baptists.

According to the AP ("Seminary passes resolution against speaking in tongues", 10/19/2006), the trustees at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary recently voted 36-1 that "Southwestern will not knowingly endorse in any way, advertise, or commend the conclusions of the contemporary charismatic movement including 'private prayer language.'"

They're all wierd by my reckoning, but pornographic? I don't get it, but then, IANAB.
