Chronic Adulterer...seeking Christian help!

[Solemateleft]

I trust people for maturity levels, not age. I just check age when immaturity hits.

On this site, I've met quite a few teens with maturity levels like they really should be much older than they are, and some of us should be much younger than we are, but what is it about some of the 20-something year olds boys, that think the world should be soaking in every word they say, and the older the person the more they should listen?

And it does always seem to be the 20-somethings, (although not all 20-somethings), boys. (Act like you're an adult in your 20s, and I won't call you a boy.) What did their 50-somethings parents teach these children that causes them to think so highly of themselves and so little of anyone else?

I have noticed a similar trend... I suspect that it is a generation issues just as much as it is a product of parenting...
That being said, I do not necessarily see it limited to boys - after all it would be the same generation of parents that have raised both boys and girls that are now in their 20s... Our societal contributing factors for the 20's something generation that has provided increased challenges for this generation's parents are the constant push for media, social media and technology to provide immediate access to information... This has resulted, unfortunately, in the development of a false sense of knowledge and at the same time impatience... While in reality access to information does not necessarily equate to knowledge, and impatience is an unintended bi-product of their access to immediate information...
There are lots of good kids (boys & girls) in their 20s, and lots of good parents and of course there are always those exceptions... I fear that these same issues and impacts upon the younger generations (teens, and youth) will only be manifested with increased access to technology, media and social media...
We need to pray that our older generations have the foresight, capability and capacity to identify these issues ahead of time and implement and advice future parents to be better equipped with methods/tehcniques to help mitigate these issues from expanding further... Head it off at the pass...

I wish I knew you had a sense of humor, because at least I could laugh at that and you'd get why.

I'm cynical and I do not trust much of what is posted here in the forums. I know duh right?

I see many of the women and some of the men coming here and seeking answers but they sound more like they are looking for willing accomplices in their activities. I admit I will probably never understand women and I'm married to one for forty three years. Perhaps it's loneliness or low self esteem but many sound like they are advertising availability for sin over any desire to obtain resolution to the issue.

I get it that they are hurting. I would prefer to see them as people rather than the way they describe themselves. Some of the men do the same thing but I'm more sensitive to the women.

Well I'm old fashioned and I grew up on the principal that you do not air your sins before the whole world. Take them to the Lord in secret in your prayer closet. Ask others to pray for you but don't go into all the gritty details.

Apologies for the rant. Too many carrion feeders in society to make yourself their next meal.

I don't get out much anymore, but my experience seems to go with the boys theory. The 20-something women are all busy trying to fit in and grow up enough to have kids before "they're too old."

Hubby was telling me that the younger generations have been indoctrinated by public schools. I was the first generation that went through that. (They got better at indoctrination after my generation, of course. I know that because I was also taught how to indoctrinate future generations.) But I disagreed that indoctrination worked, specifically because my parents spent the time between 3:30-9/9:30 teaching us what they believed over what schools taught us.

But he says that many parents leave all the teaching to schools.

The one thing my parents drilled into our heads was "think it out for yourself. Use that God-given noggin for something other than a hat rack."

Somewhere in all that, I learned the difference between "right answer for the test" and "right answer."

Yeah, well, you should have tried what P4T did -- search her out on the Net. She did find a friendlier Christian forum, and got quite a few answers. She is on her way to getting the problem she owned openly dealt with.

I agree on not trusting what people say, but that also means it's up to us to find out if what they say is truth. After that is when we decide if what is said was truth or not. Otherwise, it's just playing around.

I'm not about to stalk people on the internet. You cannot find counseling for these matters on the internet.

Believe what you want you will anyhow.

And there we have it saints and sinners a perfect troll with perfect bait. And the fishes keep nibbling.

Hi, I'm a horndog which ruined my first marriage, is infecting my second marriage, hubby thinks I'm a diamond in the rough, I believe in God so I call myself a Christian although my convictions are not deep enough to curb this appetite.
Perhaps when I bring a std back to my hubby that will teach me a lesson. Or maybe if we are blessed with deformed children or mentally disfuctional kids that will cure me.
Jesus keeps on forgiving me over and over again which brings Paul's scriptures about adulters and fornacators null and void.
Interesting about the demon theory as now I have someone to blame other than myself.
Excuse me why I don't respond as I'm watching a new episode of Jerry Springer..........p.s. I think he's hot.
