i feel the same way about lustful fantasies. i feel it is very degrading to the person, and also to myself. one way i have dealt with it in the past, is to not fantasize about boys i am in a relationship with. rather, i think about boys i merely found physically attractive. this is (IMHO, at least) equally invalid, like stealing $5 or $5,000. it is still stealing... >Well, like I said when I started babbling, I don't have any answers for >your dilemma. All I can offer you is this analysis based on my own >experience, and my prayers. you have been able to say things more clearly than i have managed in the last few stumbling posts. truly, by hearing others thoughts and opinions, i can get new ideas and views on how to tackle my humanity. >Do you have a real-life support network? unfortunately, i do not. i have been checking out churces in the area, usually a different one every other week or so, but have not really felt at home in any of them. i intend to find one with a decent pastor, and sit down with him and talk this whole thing over, kind of out of the blue. i feel that this is the right thing for me, and something i need to do. the Lord has just not yet led me to the right place at the right time. He will tell me when and where... thanks for the thoughts, i believe the Lord has led me here for such open and diverse views to see and think about... He is carrying me now, for i have not the strength to follow Him on my own... Scott |
