CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Amen, that
It is gonna be hard to change your thought life. I suggest also that you email the woman one more time just to say, " I won't be available for awhile. I need to work on some stuff at home right now." Then, connect with the Lord over your thought life. Focus on Bible verses that God shows you and memorize them. Do not further connect with the woman, because what you do NOT need is any further food for thought.
Remember that a man who thinks with lust about another woman has already committed adultery in his heart. Don't let it get that far!

There is somewhere in the scriptures talk of strongholds of the mind and also the renewing of the mind.
I believe this is extremely dangerous not only for the physical but your mental stability is at stake here.
I am almost to the point of thinking of a prayer group to pray over you and get your mind on the right track.
I find if my mind don't work right then everything is out of sinc.
This can happen to any one of us it does not matter how young or how old.
You are flirting with danger and that is a fact.
The reason I am so concerned I had this happen and it hurts.
Stop it while you can.

If you can flush a toilet, you can flush thoughts out of your mind.
2 Cor. 10:5b bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,
Sometimes the serpent wants to put thoughts in our mind, and then we just use the power in the Precious Blood of Jesus.
James 1:13-15
Let no one say when he is tempted, "I am tempted by God"; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone. [14] But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed. [15] Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death.
