I recently had a conversation with my roommate about things that are natural and not man-made. God created us with many “unnatural” things. God gave us imigination and wonder and so the show is an extension of this. The show gives us the ability to explore and imagine, which I think God indented . Whatching the show doesnt mean you agree with its values and idea, you just engaging in it. Not commiting to it. It’s a great show because it makes you question the “natural” order of things. Idk if any of that made sense, but boom that’s what I got lol

This is a difficult one to answer, because modern television is generally going to have content that isn’t necessarily “honoring God”. I think you just have to watch these things keeping in mind that while some of the content doesn’t align with your faith, it’s just a show. It’s not like you’re doing the things the characters are doing. It’s just a story and everyone loves stories. If there’s something particularly upsetting, you can always fast forward through it. We are human and humans are curious. It’s only natural to want to watch things that catch our curiosity.

Well I think God answered my prayers because tonight was absolutely terrible. The show is always gruesome and a lot of violence, but tonight was terrible. A man killed the lady by stomping up and down with one foot on her chest. Then died after 3 times he jumped up and down and her sternum. 😭I had to fight back the tears when I saw it. I feel like it's scarred my brain with that image.... I feel like I was playing with fire to keep watching such darkness 😔😔😔

Yeah that sounds pretty terrible. I think with every new show they try to push the envelope more and more and with some things that’s fine, but with violence it’s just unnecessary and harmful to universal mental health.

@Anon4 Yes it was absolutely terrible! Films, games, music try to numb us down to murder all the time. It's almost put in a heroic and romantic sense now a days. It's terrible. I genuinely felt nauseous after seeing that scene and I tried to hold back the tears.

(Pocd) Please help me!!! I'm a Christian and as i've mentioned before Ive had mind chatters where i tell God to confirm if im a pedo or not by me hearing about a pedo getting delivered (and it actually happened because a user on here who's a good friend of mine shared a story about that!!!) And ive also mind chattered to Him to lemme know thru a dream and it just happened too!!!. I literally feel hot right now and I feel so much doom because I just woke up and dreamt something about a paper like a test having the word pedophilia in it I think it asked "do you have pedophilia?" with a fill in the blanks answer and the word "truth" was written as the answer ? these are just too much coincidences for it to not be God actually telling me. As we Christians know, there are no coincidences in God and that scares me even more!!. I always tell Him " don't listen to my mind chatters you know they don't come from the heart!! The reason I mind chatter about things is because I'm scared of them actually happening!" But now I'm starting to think my mind chatters are so much more meaningful than i thought. Maybe it wasn't even a dream and I just pictured it while being asleep and awake at the same time since my ocd thoughts wake me up night sometimes? Or am I just in denial to try to calm myself down? Omg how can I forget about all this I really don't wanna relapse ...

TW POCD Does anyone else have intrusive thoughts about watching CP? There was a Black Mirror episode about it, and ever since I watched a year ago it’s been non stop. I’m currently doing ERP with a specialist and I’m hoping it will help in the long run. Tonight, I got the feeling that my mind was telling me “go, do it!!” It felt so real. Anyone else hear a tiny voice like that? Provides for some serious doubts about who I am. Anyway, hope everyone is doing well, this stuff is a struggle to say the least

Where to draw the line with ERP
Okay, so for the most part, if you have harm ocd/intrusive thoughts, you’ll understand (hopefully). If you haven’t seen, everyone is talking about the Netflix documentary “Dahmer”. Most harm ocd sufferers (myself included) that I’ve gotten to know all struggle with fears of being evil in any way (like a sociopath/narcissistic, etc). Do we need to make ourselves watch it? Even some of my friends without OCD say they couldn’t do it. The reason I don’t want to watch it is because I’m afraid it’ll trigger me. I’ll look for any common traits (this is what I do) and it’ll send me into a panic attack. But aren’t we SUPPOSED to on purpose watch things that bring us distress? The series has everyone talking about mental health and it SUCKS because OCD is considered “mental health” and I feel like it lumps us all into a giant category. Everything true crime triggers my harm ocd. I don’t even want to know humans are capable of such things because then it reminds me “it’s all possible”. I don’t know if I explained it well, but does ANYONE understand where I’m coming from 🥺🥺🥺🥺
