Not sending/getting emails

jandlhoskin — Wed, 16 May 2012 11:41:49 -0400

I opened a "help" ticket maybe 2+weeks ago and have heard nothing.
We have not been getting the weekly email from x3 and the email address(s) are correct. Not overly thrilled with the time it is taking.
Would really appreciate some help with this. Even after "resending" the email... and it does not go to junk, either.

TOPIC for Open Discussion: Can You have sexual arousal without lust?

eastcoast — Sun, 06 May 2012 13:58:28 -0400

I've borrowed this topic/question from another discussion board. My hope is that the many people here who are members of this forum but have never commented will take the opportunity to post their thoughts on the following question:

"Hi there, for a while now I have had questions rolling around in my mind about sexual arousal and lust. I know that some Christians relate sexual release or self pleasure with lust. But after many years of experience and searching, I have come to the conclusion that if in the right mind, lust can be separate. I also have not read in the Bible that reading moral (where blatant sin is not included) erotic literature is wrong either.

I would like your opinions on this as I feel that a lot of Christians have these questions and are in conflict with one another on this subject including me.

Thanks"

Does this guy have a point or is he fooling himself?

Thanks

Prayer

paraiders7 — Fri, 11 May 2012 17:57:49 -0400

Hello,

If you get a chance please pray for me. I have been struggling off and on with Porn for the last seven years. I seem to do well for a month or so and then fall into the trap again. And once I fall, it is a lot harder to break free the next time for an extended period of time. I have an accountability partner and we pray together. I want to break free of this addiction! I don't know why I do what I do? I want the Lord to give me a mind like His and to heal me of my off and on addiction.

Thank You
May the Lord Bless You, for praying with me!

I'll admit, this is a bit selfish on my part, for I like a good bumper sticker, so I hope you contribute to this forum by submitting a description of an eye-catching design and/or phrase you happened to have seen while on the road or wherever....

I'll start....I just saw this today:

What Music Do You Got On??

becominwhole10 — Thu, 07 Apr 2011 15:34:54 -0400

Maybe it's a silly discussion thread, but since almost everybody loves music and music has been of the most important tools in my healing from porn addiction, I thought it'd be fun to mention what you're listening to at any given moment...for inspiration and encouragement...or to compare notes and make suggestions.

Just wanted to remind all of here to still enjoy life, the "holidays", grab a Guinness (or if you don't drink O+2, then some green tea?), and still mix it up and live life, too....Sex and Purity ain't everything there is to life!?!

My Testimony

joshuafoxxy — Fri, 04 May 2012 20:44:47 -0400

hi my name is joshua fox. And im gonna share with you what god did for me. Well when i was 13 yearsld i was molested, i am currently 15 years old. Well over these two years i started having anger, rage, hate, depression, hurt, and most of all questions about my sexuality. I went through all of that for two years, March 21st of this year, God delivered me from every thing! He made me a knew creation. I finally relized what the devil was doing to me, he was lying to me getting me to believe every little thing he could. And i was letting him. but after that night no more, since then i have declaired everyday that I am........ a child of God, i am redeemed from the hand of the enemy, i am justified and sanctified. I would just like everyone to pray for me that God keeps helping me win these battles i am having to go through. I serve a mighty awesome God! thank you jesus!

As I was looking through the discussions posted I noticed the 40 Days of Purity. It looked to me like a big help. I also noticed that it had kind of stopped. I am going to start my own one of those. I think it will definitely help. Feel free to join anytime or give encouragement. Thanks. Porn - todayMasterbation - todayPrayer - todayBible - today

x3Watch Pro vs VMware Fusion - Admin

ranzworth — Sun, 06 May 2012 00:20:13 -0400

Question:

This question has been answered to the slightest degree other places online and even on this prayer wall, but as an administrator for a small business I need a definite answer in order to know whether or not to make a purchase. My network is running on Macs equipped with Intel OS X 10.7 and x3Watch Pro. However, each computer is equipped with VMware Fusion also running Windows 7 (not sharing any folders with the host machine). Will x3Watch Pro cover those virtual Windows 7 machines running via VMware Fusion, or do I need to purchase/purchase it on the Windows 7 machines separately (I would really like to avoid this if at all possible)?

Thank you for your time in addressing this question.

Can't Add Partners

acrunyan — Wed, 15 Feb 2012 08:59:41 -0500

I just installed X3 Watch and cannot add my partners. After I type in the email address and hit enter, I get an error message that reads "Error checking for upgrade . . . make sure you have an active internet connection." Can anyone help me? Obviously, I have an internet connection because I had just downloaded the software.

I'm running a MacBook Air with Mac OSX 10.6.8

Thanks!

please pray that God is more real to me than this self slavery. I can't do it on my own anymore.

Please pray for me

cmoney22 — Tue, 01 May 2012 21:40:52 -0400

I have dealt with an addiction to pornography for 4 years now. I have tried to quit many times with success for about a month or so, then I would slip. I am currently going on 3 and a half months of being free from this and I would just love some prayers to help back me up and keep me going strong to not fall to this addiction again. I want this to be the last time i try to quit!!

Question about God's forgiveness

superanonymouse — Fri, 20 Apr 2012 17:56:35 -0400

I've always been confused on if God forgives future sins...

I was really confused when I became a Christian because I figured "If God forgave me of my sins, then why should I ask for forgiveness?"

This led me to believe overtime (I think subconsciously) that God only forgives past sins and present sins if you ask for forgiveness. And of course I would have to ask for forgiveness for future sins when I commit them.

It just never made sense to believe that future sins were forgiven. . But when I believed past, present, future sins were forgiven I felt free and comfortable in Christ. LIke my salvation really WAS secure. Instead of me just saying it and not really believing it. I mean I believed it but logically it didn't make sense so I couldn't believe it all the way.

Ever since Easter I started to believe that God forgave me of even future sins, so basically ALL sins. Everything clean forever. I started to trust in God in this, and felt safe.

I started to feel the grip of the power of sin loosen. Because I figured sin was pointless. Why would I want it if all it did was enslave me and make me feel guilty all the time?

So is this the right theology? Does God forgive all sins beforehand?

Youtube app on phone

susan1 — Tue, 01 May 2012 16:08:02 -0400

My boyfriend is 7 months sober from a long-time sex addiction. He's put barriers in place to keep him in check. There's just one more area we need help with. On his Samsung Transformer phone, there is a pre-loaded youtube app. which isn't covered by 3xwatch. I know youtube isn't so bad, but it's bad enough to cause some issues. No one anywhere can seem to help us get youtube off his phone. Has anyone else dealt with this?

Confusion about sexuality

adamsmith1432 — Sun, 26 Feb 2012 23:56:01 -0500

Growing up, I had a fair balance between the amount of friends I had from both sexes. In the sixth grade however, I began having more friends that were female rather than male (for no real reason). One student from my grade noticed, and called me out online and asked whether or not I was gay because everyone at school thought I was. I automatically told myself I wasn't and told the guy who questioned me that I wasn't. Finishing sixth grade was tough because I had the assumption everyone in my school thought I was gay. Throughout middle school, I was still questioned about my sexuality and I believe that's when the rumors really began to take a toll on my life. I started looking at guys in a different way, and even experimented by looking at gay porn, which did turn me on. To this day, as a high school senior, I still feel physically attracted to males. The thing is, I don't think I'm gay because I still think about holding loving/physical relationships with females, (even getting married to a girl I love one day and having kids) and even had a long-term (1+ year) girlfriend in high school. I still look at gay porn occasionally and feel physically attracted to males. Sometimes I think I might be bi-sexual, but I also think my attraction to males I have is due to the fact that I was labeled as gay and began to tell myself I was. I've never talked about my confusion with my friends or family in fear I'll be made fun of or rejected. Am I really gay/bi-sexual, or is it just because the rumors have gotten to me and have made me believe I am? This has been a question that's always on the back of my mind since I was first questioned, and I hope to have it answered. Thanks!!

Bypassing X3

BML05001 — Fri, 30 Mar 2012 11:05:16 -0400

I'm having a problem holding myself accountable for pornography. I have X3 installed on my computer, but I know that I can open the task manager and shut down the process and it won't send a message to my accountability partner. Is there something I can do to keep this from happening?

X3 turns off with no report sent

jsam4g — Mon, 23 Apr 2012 19:11:46 -0400

This needs to be fixed, the free version of x3 doesn't send reports when the program is turned off. (on Vista and Windows 7 OS)

1000 WAYS TO DIE #746 "PORNICATED"

1000 WAYS TO DIE is starting right now and one of the deaths involves a porn addict; it could be a premonition of Dan's death.
Spike now.

IT'S THE THOUGHT THAT COUNTS...

Is that the old dude who was like "This is what it's all about!" after his wife leaves him and he's left with his treasured house o'smut.

Yeah the guy dies of dehydration

Though you are not addicted. Just bored. With the Captain and generic cola......no dehydration!!!

I got a bad reputation in college from porn. GEE, A HORNY COLLEGE GUY...CREEEEEEEPY. Yet if I would have booked Shane's World Campus Invasion at Southwest State University...guess who'd be the most popular asshole in Minnesota.

The most difficult thing to conquer...

AugustineEgo — Wed, 14 Mar 2012 21:29:28 -0400

I fully realize that temptation is a part of my life. Jesus was also tempted, of course the big difference in Him and all of us is that He never gave in to it.

I simply admit temptations are too tough for me and I ask God's help in resisting them. I confess my weakness and admit my enormous need for Him and His strength.

I am still in the same place: I give in to pornography too easily too often.

I found myself right were Paul writes in Romans 7:15, 18B, 21B, 24:
What I do, I do not understand. For I do not do what I want, but I do what I hate. … The willing is ready at hand, but doing the good is not. For I do not do the good I want, but I do the evil I do not want. … I discover the principle that when I want to do right, evil is at hand. … Miserable one that I am! Who will deliver me from this mortal body?

I truly hate when I give in to pornography, yet it is too easy and too often that I give in…

Where do I go from here?

need help

whitmajj — Sun, 04 Mar 2007 22:40:31 -0500

Getting over pornography, havn't watched it in nearly a month or longer. Need strength for my family. Also in the navy and coming up for advancement exam, it would really help with the financial problems. Josh

HELP!

jazacob — Fri, 20 Apr 2012 07:36:05 -0400

Hi guys, I need help, I am 14 years old and I have been watching porn for 2 years now. I used to have the urge to wanna quit, but after I have risen up and failed hundred of times, it is like I am numbed to the after affects of porn. If I read stories of some one whose life was messed up by porn, I don't even care anymore, those stories don't even bother me anymore, they don't make me second guess my actions anymore. I don't feel sad after viewing porn anymore, I don't even wanna quit viewing porn anymore. I have lost the urge to wanna do anything about porn anymore. Also, if I watch Christian videos about people's testimony in Christ, I feel like Christianity is lame and dorky, like I don't wanna hear about it. I don't like these feelings, I wanna return back to Jesus, but I feel far now, I read my Bible and pray, very often, but I don't know how to get back. Everything is like out of my control now, except porn, it is in my control, I know this because, I deep down inside do enjoy it, so if I pray to God now, I know He can't do anything because when it comes down to when I make the decision to fall to the craving, I most likely will because I have something inside of me that enjoys porn. How do I get heart that wants to quit porn? How do I remove this gap of hatred, bitterness and numbness between me and God? How do I get out of this mess. oh and btw, I have had my youth pastor and dad as accountability partners, I would report mostly to my youth pastor because he is easy to approach, but now I have moved to Asia, so it is hard for me to even be accountable with him, i never report to him anymore. I approach my dad, but I only admit vaguely, because I'm not strong enough to go into details. I also have x3 watch on my computer, but i can just go on my siblings itouch. I'm screwed man, I'm screwed....

Dual booting and X3Watch

christismylyf — Mon, 16 Apr 2012 20:07:36 -0400

I am running OS X Lion on my MacBook Pro which also dual boots Windows 8 Consumer Preview. I have X3 Watch installed on the Lion OS but I need to know if it covers the Windows OS. As a tech guy (not advanced in Mac dual boot OS file interaction and how networking works for mac) I would assume that it will not cover. I would love some assurance so I know if I need to install on Windows also.

Thank you

I've got a deadly thorn in my flesh!!!

helpmeimlost — Thu, 18 Nov 2010 09:29:19 -0500

I don't understand it... I keep fighting... Some battles I do win, but then I loose one... This one battle might only be a second glance at a halfnaked lady on the TV!! But the hole it creates is enough to rip away the whole barrier - ultimately landing me back in the sewer I've struggled to climb out of for years now...
I'm sick and I'm tired... I can't believe I'm once again back at point zero... I can't close my eyes at night without these images leaping in my face... I try to run away from it but to no avail... I am fallen...
Whoever is reading this know that I desperately need your prayer... I am weak, help me!
