In a college aged church service some years ago, the pastor specifically called out people “struggling “ with porn and masturbation and said they should go to the back to get prayer. My friend immediately went. I myself felt shock and shame. It took several more years before I realized that guilt is a tool the church uses to hook people. It’s insidious.
Being 11 years old thinking I’m going to burn in hell for all eternity because I masturbated was rough
Damn that’s so real… fuck that. I have a hard time remembering sometimes how bad it was.

Those thoughts definitely enhanced the experience for me.
Please tell the class about your opinions on arbitrary authority 🤣
Pushing those attitudes on children is sexual abuse
