<2021-03-16T20:35:19.000Z> M3TH: Yo so I really like this girl. I started lifting because of her and I haven't fapped in a week. We've known each other since I was 12. We also work together. Going to ask her to workout with me. But my question is, is me being so in love with her dangerous or sinful? Should I not expect happiness? What should I do. I just joined the navy and shes the type of girl I would quit the navy for and do trade school. Ps I'm 18
<2021-03-16T21:43:57.000Z> Godcast: I wouldn't say it's sinful to be infatuated with a woman, just be sure to keep your wits about you and don't get too attached before you're even dating. I would also not recommend being in the military at all, and would definitely not recommend being in a relationship while you're in the military. Pray for wisdom about your actions moving forward. If you decide to take the military route, I would not even bother with any sort of romantic relationship.
<2021-03-16T22:14:22.000Z> M3TH: If I dont get with her by my ship out day aug 4th I will continue in the navy. If I do I will drop out. Also isnt infatuation a Jewish theory?
<2021-03-16T22:27:30.000Z> Godcast: You should continue to pray on it regardless. No, infatuation just means you're really into someone.
<2021-03-16T23:45:10.000Z> M3TH: Will do. Thank you is it Myles on this account or Lutheran?
<2021-03-17T00:05:09.000Z> Godcast: Myles. Super is much more dignified lol
<2021-03-17T01:18:02.000Z> M3TH: Based, ok so just pray on the issue and let God sort it out? I was thinking about it and isnt all marriages involving a Christian ordained by God? I say it singular because she isnt a Christian. 
<2021-03-17T02:19:19.000Z> Godcast: You're called to not be unequally yoked, so don't marry a non-Christian woman. If she's willing to convert early on as you're dating, it may still be worth pursuing, but if she's not willing to convert, then don't date her. Missionary dating is a losing strategy.
<2021-03-17T03:28:28.000Z> M3TH: Yea that's true, I would definitely make sure that she would convert. She knows I'm a Christian teased me about it a couple times (we shit talk each other a lot playfully) I'm trying to convert to Orthodoxy. 
<2021-03-17T03:29:18.000Z> M3TH: Hell I like her so much that I haven't fapped in more than a week. Really changed myself. That's why I think this is either a blessing from God or a humiliation ritual from Satan.
<2021-03-17T04:50:48.000Z> Godcast: God gives us all challenges and opportunities. Like I said, just keep your head. She's not the only woman on the planet.
<2021-03-17T05:01:30.000Z> M3TH: Thanks bro I'll remember that
<2021-05-08T05:23:12.000Z> M3TH: So I have moved on from the infatuation we discussed above long ago, I told her how I felt before and that I didn’t like her anymore, we were already close so she wasn’t a bitch. But after this I have felt a confidence I’ve never felt before, and given I joined the navy I feel as I will have pre marital sex. I am worried because I know I won’t be able to hold it back. In fact I made plans to hook up with a girl I know after vacation. I want to know if I get baptized after these things I will be saved, I am not baptized as of yet and I don’t want to take Gods grace for granted. However I am honest in that I will not lie to myself that I will not have pre marital should the situation occur. As I said I have never felt better and more confident, could this be a positive development or the work of Satan
<2021-05-08T05:25:35.000Z> Godcast: Well, you should try your best to resist temptation, but if you honestly repent, God's grace is sufficient for the forgiveness of your sins
<2021-05-08T05:31:35.000Z> M3TH: Thanks man, I just turned 18 and I think a lot of it has to do with me being an online sperg for 3 years and not having interactions outside the internet, but I need to realize what is the most important thing or being which is God. I guess a lot of it has to do as well with a need to lose my virginity idk why perhaps social pressure but more so myself, I guess I know that I have it in me to do so it’s just I feel very guilty of it
<2021-05-08T05:37:44.000Z> M3TH: 
<2021-05-08T05:38:51.000Z> Godcast: Don't worry so much about losing your virginity.  Sex is nice, but it's not the most important thing.  Just accept that God has a plan for you and that may or may not include finding a wife
<2021-05-08T05:39:26.000Z> Godcast: plus, being in the military, you're going to want to keep your dick tucked deep in your pants.  Sticking your dick where it doesn't belong is a fantastic way to fuck your life up.
<2021-05-08T05:59:51.000Z> M3TH: That’s how my dad and my mom had me and my sister lmao he and her were in the navy and got a little too un careful. So I know about these mistakes, I’d like super to go into his experience in the navy and see what that was all about. Sorry if I’m all over the place a little too much beer tonight 
<2021-05-08T06:03:22.000Z> Godcast: all good, homie.  I fyou want to email him directly, I can find you his email
<2021-05-08T06:37:04.000Z> M3TH: Sure man I’d appreciate it, you and Super I cannot stress enough are Godsent, very great advice from you guys and it’s soul saving advice as well 
<2021-05-08T06:51:28.000Z> Godcast: Absolutely, brother
<2021-05-08T07:04:16.000Z> M3TH: Now I have some questions about trade, after the navy I would like to get into trade, I know you are in it what would you recommend? I was thinking lineman simple job and blue collared boys are the greatest wouldn’t you say?
<2021-05-08T15:50:36.000Z> Godcast: Depends on your disposition, honestly. I'm a machinist, which is great for me, but a lot of people can't hack it. I'd stay away from HVAC, that just destroys your knees. Other than that, take a look at what's out there. As for the people, no, most tradies are assholes. I work with a lot of stupid and awful people. But their bullshit is easier to deal with than some corporate HR diversity hire.
<2021-05-08T21:32:02.000Z> M3TH: Really? A lot of blue collared boys in my town seem tight, they all pack into the bar and restaurant I work at and are very chill idk if it’s different where you’re at
<2021-05-08T23:37:05.000Z> Godcast: A lot of them have real issues.  They're decent people but can be tough to deal with.
<2021-05-09T01:45:40.000Z> M3TH: What like drinking problems?
<2021-05-09T06:30:01.000Z> Godcast: Drinking, drugs, personal issues, attitude issues, self-destructive behavior, etc. Not all, but a good chunk.
<2021-05-09T06:58:10.000Z> M3TH: Yea It might be the curse of the small town in my opinion, small town America has become Russian in the sense of hopeless and despair so people turn to drugs and booze
<2021-05-09T06:59:19.000Z> M3TH: I myself am guilty of it, a lot of kids my age smoke a lot of pot and drink some do coke and Xans even, when funding is drained from our towns it creates a climate of dispare of which satan wants
<2021-05-09T07:00:11.000Z> M3TH: In Indiana where I’m from lots of guys in the Gen X turn to meth or heroine I’ve been to meetings at the local church with my friend and his mother because she helps the recovering addicts and man it’s sad
