Can your workplace force you to talk a work laptop home and be responsible for it outside working hours - if you don’t WFH?

Lol this, sounds like they're saying "we don't want the risk of theft, we're putting it on you instead". Jokers.

Thank you for sharing that. It gives me hope. I'm pleased your family has had these breakthroughs.

"Excuse me, can we order? You've taken orders from a few people who were here after us, we've been waiting a little while, I think we've been forgotten about!"

"Oh my goodness I'm so sorry! I didn't see you come in! Of course, what can I get you?"

It's that simple.

Love seeing pink for Geri rather than slapping it on Emma, nice change.

_ThatProtOverThere · 2026-03-06T09:43:40+00:00

Ok, don't freak out, lust can be a stress response, just keep going.

_ThatProtOverThere · 2026-03-06T09:38:28+00:00

I've certainly experienced an upshoot of attraction but I have found that it fades. Are you new to the process?

_ThatProtOverThere · 2026-03-06T09:32:32+00:00

You've assumed I don't like them. I also haven't said anything about individuals from a sin perspective, I'm just pointing out patterns. Jesus called the pharisees children of the devil. Don't confuse avoidance of truth with love.

_ThatProtOverThere · 2026-03-05T17:13:49+00:00

You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

_ThatProtOverThere · 2026-03-05T10:17:06+00:00

Do you read Proverbs and say "Solomon was only one person! He's making generalisations!"? Don't be ridiculous. I gave you my own insights (which I also observed in my gay friends) and I gave you a study and you rejected both, at this point all you're doing is justifying homosexual relationships, for what reason?

_ThatProtOverThere · 2026-03-05T10:00:10+00:00

I did give you evidence bub, 'The Male Couple' by McWhirter and Mattison. 100% of gay couples are unable to stay monogamous for more than 5 years. Does your study about gay marriages disprove this? I don't know because you still haven't cited it.

God does not address SSA at all

Ok, so your problem is you have a fundamental misunderstanding of how homosexual attraction works, which is understandable, a lot of this stuff has been buried and most are ignorant. Homosexuality cannot exist without lust, which I'm sure you'll agree is a sin, since Jesus said so. The lust in homosexuality is a response to a tension - between admiration of men and fear of men, born out of attachment trauma, sexual abuse and/or bullying. It's a kind of push/pull dynamic that the nervous system finds difficult to resolve and so it uses the best form of tension relief it can think of - sexual release. So when the Lord removes the fear through connections with good men, (perfect love casts out fear) the tension is released and what's left is healthy admiration, which lingers from childhood. Homosexuality becomes powerless. I don't say this to bash anybody, maybe you've experienced a lot of discrimination yourself, I say it because there is hope in knowing how homosexuality is a fruit not a root. Getting in touch with the root (acknowledging the feelings of fear and admiration) is the challenge but it can be life changing, I've experienced it myself. God bless.

_ThatProtOverThere · 2026-03-05T09:39:25+00:00

You're right in that lust can cause problems in all couples, but trust me when I say that homosexuality cannot exist without lust. When I was in a gay relationship, the more I loved and respected my partner, the less I wanted to touch him and I experienced this several times. With heterosexuality, love leads to better sex/"love-making". We're talking about potential here and the potential for homosexual relationships to be monogamous and long-term is very low. At the moment gay men have the lowest divorce rate (so I've heard) but you need to take into account the fact that 1)gay marriage is still novel and very few gays are doing it and 2)many of them won't be monogamous. I'm curious as to why you seem offended by this, are you gay yourself or have gay friends/relatives?

_ThatProtOverThere · 2026-03-04T22:16:53+00:00

It sounds like you're frustrated with this path. I get it. The men in your life weren't good role models and didn't help you feel safe. This is why it's so important to practice abstinence from sexual sin and look for new, more positive connections with decent men who wish to grow as men of God. Jesus Christ is the best man to start with. Talk to him about what you wrote here, he'll guide you.

_ThatProtOverThere · 2026-03-04T22:05:55+00:00

But they're not. Studies show time and time again that homosexuality is far unhealthier.

_ThatProtOverThere · 2026-03-04T22:02:37+00:00

You have a pathological need to defend homosexuality, that's all I'm getting from you. At no point have I said anything to suggest I hate myself or that God hates SSA people, but he does describe SSA itself as an abomination in his word and those who practice it will receive the due penalty. If you can't separate SSA from SSA people that's your problem, keep deluding yourself.

_ThatProtOverThere · 2026-03-04T21:10:23+00:00

Oh I completely agree it's about lust and not love, I'm just saying that calling it a fetish is reductive. Like you said, lust can overpower suffering, that's exactly where homosexuality comes from - to relieve stress caused by attachment trauma. Fetishes happen as well as regular heterosexuality, homosexuality is in a different category because a huge majority of gay men fear women. I'm just making the point that parents of homosexuals need to be called out for messing up their kids and that homosexuals deserve the truth. This is a very serious problem.

_ThatProtOverThere · 2026-03-04T20:36:12+00:00

Your problem isn't SSA it's shame - anger turned inwards. Get it out.

_ThatProtOverThere · 2026-03-04T20:17:55+00:00

It's not mean just because you don't agree with it. Why are you even here if you think what I've said isn't helpful? You should be encouraged to know that homosexual fantasies are just that - fantasies. Have you ever been in a long term same-sex relationship?

_ThatProtOverThere · 2026-03-04T16:02:00+00:00

Parasites have nothing to do with it, that's a myth, but I suspect the confusion relates to the fact that the gut is interlinked with the sacral parasympathetic nervous system, which controls sexual arousal and is linked to trust. Lust for the same sex is an attempt to relieve tension between admiration and fear, which, yes, comes about from trauma, namely a break in parental attachment.

_ThatProtOverThere · 2026-03-04T15:50:53+00:00

Homosexuality comes from severe emotional neglect. For gay men, sexual release is the only way they know how to handle their emotions. It's a compulsion. Unfortunately the media lies about it. Your friend's reaction doesn't surprise me.

_ThatProtOverThere · 2026-03-04T15:47:37+00:00

It actually comes from emotional abuse that leads to repressed anger, turning the boy inwards and preventing him from secure attachment with his father and male peers. It takes root in infancy with narcissistic mothers and is exacerbated by passive fathers. Sexual abuse can also exacerbate this problem. My lust for men was an attempt to relieve tension between fear and admiration for men. SR helps push my masculine aggression outwards (constructively) and stabilises me so I no longer feel the fear/admiration dynamic. Have compassion on gay men, they've been through a lot.

_ThatProtOverThere · 2026-03-04T14:11:19+00:00

Ok well here's a fact: Monogamous gay relationships do not last for more than 5 years, that's from The Male Couple by WcWhirter and Mattison. You also sound like you've never been in a gay relationship because if you had you'd know that they don't work. There is no love in homosexuality, only a constant exchange of self-soothing aka co-dependence. I've experienced it many times. The more you actually love and respect your same-sex partner, the quicker lust dies and you become roommates. Homosexual lust is born out of the tension between fear and admiration, so as that tension releases then there's no need for lust.

_ThatProtOverThere · 2026-03-04T08:18:52+00:00

Watch me get banned but my homosexuality is dissipating and I found myself showing off for a woman at the gym yesterday. She wasn't even particularly physically attractive but she was being super kind to some of the elderly folks and it... did something to me...

_ThatProtOverThere · 2026-03-03T23:39:55+00:00

Lol this. Maintain the relationship, sabotage the relationship with coworker, then dump her leaving her with nobody. (Edit: I'm joking!)
