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.
Do any of you have lots of trouble “accepting uncertainty” as part of your ERP because as a Christian sometimes you wonder if it’s really OCD or true conviction? I’m struggling with this right now.
Hello all I'm a little bit of a wreck right now. Idk if any of y'all go through this but I would love to know I'm not the only one. My mind keeps trying to attribute all the bad things because of the holy Spirit. I would never say those things but I'm scared and confused. I'm scared I am pushing God away. Sometimes I get really scared because sometimes I don't care and it scares me. I'm nervous these thoughts are coming from me. And because of these thoughts I can't even thank the holy Spirit or feel safe. And because of these thoughts they make me doubt who I am as a person and it scares me. What if I'm asking for forgiveness and I don't mean it. What if I am doomed. Any responses would be nice I can't even cry properly anymore.
Hi everyone, so it’s been forever since I have asked for reassurance, but idk what to do rn. So I have been messing with a bit of astrology like tarot cards and stuff. Well I have never really been scared of it but I have a bit of religion ocd at times, and my husband was joking a bit last night saying “don’t be doing that voodoo shit in my house” and now my ocd is taking it literal and I’m terrified that I’m accidentally doing witchcraft, but I’m not casting any kind of spells and now I’m scared, like what if I get possessed and do something I dont want to do. And now I’m over thinking every little situation I do..
