There is such a thing as withdrawal syndrome AKA "cold turkey" when you stop a certain addiction. Remember the explanation that a fever is good because you're body is actually fighting the infection? You depression can be a sign of casting out the evil spirit of hentai off you. A pastor told me this:

"The Devil doesn't know exactly what is on you mind because he's not omniscient. The only thing he can do is guess what's on your mind based on your actions, or, whisper negative/perverse words on your mind."

When your head tells you "be depressed" on you begin to think so lowly of yourself, remember that the enemy is making his move on you. You are God's child, designed beautifully in his image, and through his Grace, you are saved. You are special and he loves you so much. It's an enemy's tactic to say to you "you're such a sick person," but remember that "all has sinned and fall short of the glory of God." Even the saint-est people sin. All who do sin are sinners. Feeling bad about yourself is normal, but keep in mind that it's because of sin, not because you're an awful being.

When your feeling down, don't say that "I'm a poor Christian, I'm so terrible," but rather, remember that "his strength is made perfect when I am weak." When your weak, it's the best time to lean on God. :angel:

I have an uncle who is addicted to porn. How I know is that the ps3, as most of you would know, has internet. It keeps track of all the websites you go to. All I saw was a list of porn sites when ever I try to go online. Please please pray for him.

I seem to be somewhat late to this thread, but that's alright.

I am generally a man of little words, or at least I find it difficult to respond appropriately when people are asking for help, and this post will likely be no exception.

I offer no advice at this juncture, to do so would be an injustice to all the sound advice given so far, and certainly I am no saint.

All I can say at this point is to all of you dealing with addictions and issues of this sort, I understand how difficult things are for you, after dealing with similar issues myself, and I will be praying.

Sarah, I'm really sorry to hear about your predicament. It's those kinds of photos that can really haunt people for a long time, and those kinds of vengeful people that ruin lives over it.

Postby **Reon** » Tue Oct 13, 2009 5:15 pm

Whatever goals you feel God has placed in your heart Sarah I encourage you to do them no matter what in the past has happened. David slept with Bathsheba and killed her husband - yet God separates sin when He forgives us as from as the east is from the west (Psalm 103:12). God will honor and bless whatever decision you make if your doing your best to obey Him. What truly matters is what God thinks about you - considering there's no condemnation in Christ, pursue those things and don't let the past haunt you. It sounds like you've learned from your mistakes, that you have a bright head on your shoulder, and if you've fully submitted your life to the Lord than your no longer the same person.

What can wash away my sins?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
What can make me whole again?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

You've got God as your stronghold if you believe and follow Jesus. Have no fear in what this guy might do =) I've done a lot of stupid things in my past, especially wanting to go into ministry. I'm able and willing to talk about my past that God might use it for His glory and save people from making the same mistakes. I know (and had fear at one time) that as a direct result people would hurt my ministry because of it. Yet who is stronger and greater than my God and will withhold me through any kind of persecution (even blackmailing me to try to "destroy" me)? No one.

Jesus said in Luke 12:5 "But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear him who, after the killing of the body, has power to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him."

Its all about eternity. Press on and take what God has for you Sarah.

Grace and peace be yours in Christ,
Sincerely -
Ryan

Sarah I think you should tell your father. One of the best things I did was tell my mom about me and porn. Sure, it felt like I was telling her I was a mass murderer, but I was SO relieved when I did.

I will be praying for all of you. God bless

Postby **Warrior 4 Jesus** » Wed Oct 14, 2009 12:43 am

Sarah, yes, it's important to be careful about what you post on the Internet. Unfortunately there are creepy people who'll take advantage of anything. I'm sorry to hear you learnt that the hard way. I'm not going to judge you. I hope nothing negative comes of this and that you can mature and grow as a result. God Bless mate, I'll be praying for you and your situation.

Sarah~~ (post: 1350455) wrote:Ontop of all of this, the boy who claimed he loved me, contacted me a couple weeks ago and told me that since I had ruined his life, he was going to ruin mine. He has threatened to post the pictures he recived on terrible websites. I am so ashamed of what I did and worst of all was getting the courage to tell my father what I had done, before he recieved an email from the boy telling him his plans, photos attached as well.

You may want to see what I wrote in your other thread regarding this. I'll re-affirm it here - if pictures of you before you turn 18 (of this nature) appear on the internet, that individual is likely guilty of trafficking in child porn. The FBI will very likely find out about it. You may need to contact them in advance - *especially* if he's threatening you by saying he'll post them. It does not matter in the slightest if you took the pictures yourself and were "consenting" to them.

I've been having lots of lust issues lately...and grown callous of the sin. Pray for me, I'm basically drenched in sin. I always repent but do the same things over again, apparently lots of things have changed over the last years concerning my spiritual wellfare, kthanx.

Postby **Tsukuyomi** » Thu Oct 22, 2009 3:55 pm

@Ryupower: Hang in there

Whatever it is you're doing, try to reduce the numbers of time you do it (assuming it is "that*) ^^

I'll be praying for you in the meantime

Best of luck to you ^^

ok, so I'm not an open person about this but...me and my boyfriend have not be remaining pure. I know I will marry him so I kind of use that as an excuse like "well, why can't I just do it now and not wait..I'm not doing anything wrong because we're going to get married anyways". I do feel guilty though and I'm always afraid I'm getting pregnant so it's this fear within me that just haunts me all the time. Also, I do things in privacy on my own (if you get what I'm saying) that's also something I'm really ashamed about. I need to stop and I know I do..I just can't seem to.

Please pray that God gives me strength to stop this. Thanks everyone.

And whoever else is struggling with remaining pure, whether by looking at things on the internet or being too involved with your boyfriend or girlfriend..know that I'm saying a special prayer for you as well. =]

God bless.

Hey fairyprincess. I know what you mean. While I'm still a virgin regarding actual sexual intercourse I have basically done everything else in the last couple of years in the relationships I've been in. That's why I've decided to rather stay away from ANY relationship, because every time things got physical in the relationship it all went downhill from there. Also I suffer, as a lot of people on here it seems, from lust myself. Know you are not alone and we're praying for the 2 of you :-)

I'll be praying as well

Things such as those are never easy. Just hang in there and keep strong

Sarah~~ (post: 1350557) wrote:Yes, unfortunatly I had to learn that the hard way. I had hoped to become an actress, but it seems that that wouldn't be the best idea now. If I ever became a little famous, it would certainly come back to haunt me :/. There is no way I would want to disgrace my family anymore.

I'm very sorry to hear what happened too you. But despite the fact, you may consider not letting it stand in the way of your dream. Now, you do have an advantage that if you were to become famous and the pictures ever got out, well...

As Mith said, it's basically child porn and nobody could legally pass around the pictures without getting into some serious consequences.

Also, open any tabloid or magazine such as People, Star, ect. and you are sure to find that anybody who's anybody famous gets smeared to the max anyways. There is always dirt to dig up, and if there is no dirt to find, there are speculations, rumors, and lies.

Your life will get turned into a fishbowl anyways and people will be watching your every move. So it's really best to not be phased by what could possibly happen, true or not, and keep fighting for your dream.

Postby **Mr. SmartyPants** » Sun Nov 08, 2009 2:39 am

Eek. I agree with Mith and Azier. Despite the repercussions, do follow through with this legally.

While many of our past mistakes haunt us, Christ's love for us purifies us. =)

hey guys :3 please pray for me for the next week or so. I just found out my best friend likes me and is planning on asking me out. I don't really know how to deal with it, since I'm straight. I want to keep her as a friend but its really awkward now. Please pray for me.

Edit: and that this wont happen again, this seems to happen a lot to me with friends.

Postby **Riggidig** » Mon Nov 23, 2009 11:00 am

Maka, I just gotta ask: Are you THAT hot for this to be happening a lot? ;3

Seriously, that IS one difficult situation :-/ You're going to unfortunately tell your friend you're not interested in her that way. Obviously she will be hurt, but the truth, but it's better than lying. I pray that the Lord will lead the two of you through this difficult time, and give you the strength and wisdom to deal with it.

[quote="Riggidig (post: 1357442)"]Maka, I just gotta ask: Are you THAT hot for this to be happening a lot? ]

Well I'm thinking I'm going to ask her if she does like me (I already know she does but just to bring it up) and say that I want her as a friend but idk yet what to do.
thanks for praying.

Well, you can't FORCE yourself to like someone, and her being gay (I assume) and you being straight is obviously another huge stumbling block. I really hope and pray for the best *hug*

Postby **Tsukuyomi** » Mon Nov 23, 2009 4:12 pm

I'll be praying as well, Maka ^__^

I agree, tell her that you just don't like her "that' way ^^ Don't string her along ^^ She may be hurt at first, but that will go away ^^ She'll realize that she can't hate you for such a thing ^__^ I doubt she could if she's developed these feelings towards you :-?

Please keep us updated and you know where to reach me if you need to talk ^^

yea I think that's what I'll do, I doubt that she will hate me, maybe be depressed. I've been blunt with her before about things and she never stops talking to me though.

Wow. That's an awkward situation Makachop. I'll be praying for you and your friend.

I'd appreciate prayers too please. I continue to struggle with lust, except it's more that I give into it now. Not good. I just want the strength to say 'no' to Satan and his demons. I need to have more self control. I need to give it to God, but it's so difficult.
