Although last week was even worse because two days in a row I hardly slept.

This question is tough. It depends on how much you are able to resist the challenges of this addiction. Maybe it takes years.. maybe a lot of years... Maybe a year of two..

That He died for you, and can take the demons away. He prepared a way for you that you might be spotless and blameless before God. He took our punishment, and we are redeemed through Him. And because of that, we no longer have to live enslaved to sin and enslaved to the devils that bind us.

Last night for the first time, i just had my first ever experience whr demons came out of me. my body was shaking and flailing uncontrollably. And then again this morning i told the masturbation lust and porn demons to leave me in Jesus name. For 2 hours i was tossing and turning and shaking as they didn’t want to leave. The only way to cast out these demons is through the name of Jesus. He is the only one they fear

That's your interpretation of things but not my experience. Jesus has never help me with porn addiction. What helped me was the work of neuroscience. And oh I think penal substitution is problematic idea and has a negative effect on society. The Romans crucified people and Jesus of Nazareth was among many who died by it.

Ok. Enjoy.

You think I'm cool?! I think you're cool dude!

Jesus is fine with us coming here for the reboot. But, yea, the fundamentalists are pretty annoying with their super long posts, links to some other articles and dreary dudes sermons, and other unwanted and unhelpful input.

But what can you do?

I don't think anyone in this forum has been to the bottom of the ocean. I've listened to interviews with people who have been to the bottom of the ocean and none of them have said there were demons there.

It's fun to read that guys replies in the forum though lol

It can be but it can be annoying as well. That's why I blocked him. Sometimes I'm curious as to what block members are saying so I press the button that allows me to see what they say.

Don't give up.

It doesn’t make me sandwiches either...

I actually prefer to make my own sandwiches. But yes, doesn't help you out on the day to day chores.

It's also the most ethical social media company.

There is a risk of being triggered by some content but only if you seek it out. Not like Instagram where they shove triggering posts in your face.

You were dethroned!

I remember you! Thanks for the heads up!

You can remove the king from the Royalty. But you cant remove the royalty from a king.

Such is the paradox of existence.

It's from a Robbie Williams song but I sometimes feel that way.

Must be a quite tormenting experience :(

The most important thing is that, instead of (sadly) vanishing like others, you are back here as a man of your word. Hope we'll see a more energetic, focused version of you! Kick ass!

But Facebook was worse because apps (like Spotify and Goodreads) kept logging me back in. So had to keep going and deactivate it. Even a work project kept logging me in. Really goes to show how much power Facebook has.

I feel you. Never had Facebook (or any other social media presence besides good'ole forums), thus no safety net needed. I enjoy rolling like a Neanderthal!

I'm doing ok. I'll update my journal today or tomorrow.
