"Personally, I am much more curious as opposed to being offended. I am curious to see what Holyghostgirl's response will be to the many thoughtful responses she's received. That alone can reveal much about the intentions of one's post... "
"Thank you for being brave enough to ask such a question. We are a family, and as with many other things we struggle with as Christians living in this world, we should not be afraid to voice concerns or ask for advice on matters of sexual purity from our brothers and sisters. After all, we ARE all adults here.
This does not make us bad people, or bad Christians, to have temptations. It just means we are human and none of us is perfect or immune to such things. We all struggle from time to time with sexual sins and bondages...it's simply that some of us are brave enough to admit it to others."
AMEN SISTER. I'M GLAD YOU LISTED THE RESOURCES, I'M SURE IT WILL BE HELPFUL TO MANY. BLESS YOU. BLESS YOU!

I'll be honest, I don't think anyone was judging you, I think everyone was really kind to you.
(You do understand I was joking and poking fun at myself with what I said to Twosparrows, don't you?)
You're basically saying if someone doesn't like what you post they had better look the other way.
People here were actually being protective of other people's feelings and emotions on the subject at hand, I don't think you realize it's not about it being too taboo a subject to talk about, it's sparing someone having to talk about it, think about it, stumbling on it.
I think you don't understand some people who posted here had really good intentions, and perhaps you had a good intention too, I'm unsure. But surely you can see why everyone was upset, and not act like we're prudish, that's all.
MsMarvel, I'm sure you were joking, but some ppl may view it as inappropriate. I was just showing you how someone can take something innocent and blow it up.
Apologies are nice...lol...but sweetie, you don't owe me one. You were voicing your opinion, and that's cool. I don't feel like I'm debating ppl or anything when I'm going back and forth, just responding.
Now, to the ppl who did attack my character/Christianity, yes, that was wrong and I was a littled irritiated with that. I never attacked anyone's relationship with the Lord. But even those ppl have been forgiven. They don't even have to apologize...lol
Like I told some of the others, I will stand up for myself. Just like y'all can respond the way you'd like, I will do the same. I've personally had ppl thank me for posting some of my topics, because it has helped them in one area or another. I'm excited about that, and I will keep posting for that reason alone. You might not want to click on HOLY GHOST GIRL posts...lol
So to you my friend, I hope you feel better. The Lord is a Healer. I'll be sure to pray for you.
First let me say, By all means go with what God is showing you.
However,
I do not think you have argued childishly,.... why is it HolyGhostgirl can speak her mind boldly yet you can not? It is HolyGhost girl who needs to apologize for declaring it is okay for her to speak openly and boldly yet denying you the same freedom because your opinion is different. If you crossed the line anywhere it was declaring you knew her true motives for posting such a question.
just saying....
Btw I appreciated all the different views on this subject from everyone, and that INCLUDES those who thought the topic was inappropriate to be discussed here.
