Hmmm somethings off with the se x/po rn part. Things might be different for you guys , but i just know that a lot of men, constantly on a daily base feel the urge to make love with a beautiful woman or at least one they find attractive. Now seeing this video i'm surprised that all you guys have amazing making love marriages or something, but i know quite some guys who can just never get a woman they find attractive, because in all fairness their just not good enough for these womens standards. Maybe no looks , no , status , no money, not good enough in whatever way no matter what they do or try. Actually there have been studies that confirm this. So God gives these men the curse so to speak of a never-ending urge, never being satisfied, must they castrate themselves or something? Or does God wants you to suffer, and if you give in on top of it more punishment and lake of fire LOL Can you explain to me how this is not sadistic if your theory is right? You think every man rather watches porn than having a beautiful wife and loveife etc? So what you leave out of the equation is that God puts a lot men( not all but quite some which makes it even worse regarding fairness) in constant bondage of neverending urges and needs which automatically leads them into the grip of the devil , wow sounds pretty evil to me. Actually there is quite some things like this that are quite sadistic but I dont want to crush peoples faith cause hey, that'll even lead to more punishment right wow Any thoughts on this?
I love the handcuff analogy, I have given consent far too many times but am sobering up and taking a 1 way ticket out of loserville haha I will practice the Jesus prayer before giving consent to the devil. I don't know if you read these but if you do you're doing a great service and on top of that in an incredible, entertaining format I love the tier list format anyway thank you Father for sharing this wisdom and praying for us who are in need of it. You are with God, I'm not that good at noticing divine thing's but it is as clear as crystal that Jesus is using you. Have a good rest of your evening, Father :-)
Father, I dare you to watch "Death Note" and predict the ending. You are kind of confounding Dragon Ball with other animes. Even the more popular ones, like Naruto Shippuden, have such intricate storylines that would make you cry every single episode. Now, you said 70 hours. Father, hahaha, I watch anime, have always done so. It takes 20 minutes of my life WEEKLY (because of the weekly episodes). How is that 70 hours? No... reconsider. Also, there is a weird correlation in my industry that we sometimes joke about. Engineers that watch anime and game are ALWAYS better than the ones who don't. I don't understand it, I've tried to prove this hypothesis wrong and couldn't. So in the end, hell, I consider it necessary these days xD. A guy tells me he plays golf and I'd be like "cool hobbie". A guy tells me they play League of Legends and watch anime? I know they are cracked and will pass the technical interview as if I asked arithmetic questions.
Guys pay attention. Watching a tv show after work or the weekend or 4 hrs a week of gaming isnt an addiction inherently. Father is referring to when it IS AN ADDICTION
Gaming is not an addiction unless you've become completely dependent on it and can't stop yourself when it starts to get in the way of important responsibilities.
@@Gu1d-0 i definitely have an addiction. it's so damn difficult to break tho. i have way more confidence in fully conquering lust than i do my addiction to UA-cam, streaming movies and tv shows, and looking at memes. sometimes i wanna smash my computer into pieces, but I also need my computer for things. i'm currently at a place in life where i live alone and don't really have friends anymore, so i have a lot of free time, that is also alone time. it makes it very difficult.
God - good - happiness, the spread of maximum amount happiness around the entire world and towards himself, truth. Satan - evil - suffering, the spread of the maximum amount of suffering around the entire world and towards himself, lies
have you seen the trailer? its absolutely disgusting, and setting up so many young people for corn addiction, it should not be allowed. LORD HAVE MERCY
Js reminding you that he is talking Abt when it gets REAL BAD. Like, watching 3 episodes a day, you're fine. As long as your time spent with Jesus and GOD is longer or you did more things during that time even though it was shorter, you're fine. But 10-50 is an actual addiction. Spending so much time of your day is just bad, and above 50+?? Cut the weebness! What is wrong with you? And remember to pray, put trust and faith and god.
God - good - happiness, the spread of maximum amount happiness around the entire world and towards himself, truth. Satan - evil - suffering, the spread of the maximum amount of suffering around the entire world and towards himself, lies
I love this comment because I used to be self conscious all through school and in my professional life in my 30s, I just write in ALL CAPS AND THE LETTERS LOOK DESPERATE AND ANGRY when I handwrite and now I feel vindicated 😂😂 hey I was born in the 80s and schooled on the 90s, I can write cursive and capitalize , I just haven't in years and it's not necessary in handwriting in my job!
I'm (currently) a nonbeliever but I have to say that the astounding wisdom I find in Christian books or videos like this is the strongest pull I have. Thanks!
Jesus loves you ! He died for our sins and rose again on the third day according to scripture !! God does not want anybody to perish! His grace is enough for us ! If you accept Christ as your Lord and saviour the Holy Spirit will guide you en seal you! Sin separates us from God, Return to our Lord! There is only one true God and that is the God of Israel! Jesus makes us free ❤️ God is good , Good over evil !, Blessings
If Jesus wasn't real then why is it the year 2025? Just think about it. This wouldn't be a Monday if the Moon wasn't real. Yesterday wouldn't have been Sunday if the Sun was just a story in an old book. Let those with eyes see and let those with ears hear. Peel the scales from your eyes and let the Lord into your heart.
Come on man, don't you think there's a reason for that? It's because God is real and is the author of all wisdom. I encourage you to investigate the evidence for God's existence. As far as evidence for God's existence goes, we have a mountain of it: The cosmological argument The teleological argument The moral argument The ontological argument The complexity of life (DNA) argument The argument from mathematics The argument from consciousness The argument from desire The argument from epistemological uncertainty The argument from motion The digital physics argument for God's existence Fulfilled Biblical prophecy Archaeological evidence (re: the discovered ruins of Sodom and Gomorrah) Jesus' otherworldly intellect and the ethical genius of the Sermon on the Mount The historical evidence for the life, death, and resurrection of Christ Documented cases of Near Death Experiences Documented miracles Documented demonic activity (re: the work of Dr Richard Gallagher, for example) And one of my favourites: the simple fact that western society has MASSIVELY degenerated over the past 20 years as we have moved further away from God. As for the lack of "physical proof", look into the "Problem of divine hiddenness". Long story short, God has perfectly good reasons for obscuring his existence to a certain degree. God also has perfectly good reasons for allowing evil and suffering to exist in this world. All in all, when you consider the reasoning and evidence in summary, there's an extremely compelling cumulative case for God's existence.
Addiction is a symptom of an overall deeper issue within you. If you were to magically remove a person's memory of addiction, all their neuron connections to it, but do not solve the root cause. There's a chance they'd just find their way back to it eventually. Addiction is a symptom of deeper issues. You can't just fix the addiction itself, you need to understand why you are seeking the addiction out. Anxiety, boredom, stress, insecurity, trauma. Once you figure out what the root cause is, you can much better rid yourself of whatever addiction you have.
imo addiction is a refuge. find what you are running away from and you can fix it. until you are strong enough to fix it, you could find better (healthier) refuges (most used: religion/gym)

I'm nearly 30 years old and have been addicted to porn since I was 10 years old. Became a catachumen two months ago. I'm a fat, phone-addicted loser and need to watch this video every day. Thank you.
Christ is stronger than your past and your sins. I am also recovering from porn and phone addiction, and about to become a catechumen (though I am 18). You're on the right path to salvation and freedom. May God give you grace upon grace in the name of Jesus Christ Amen.
God bless you brother, i heard that Saint Joseph the Hesychast struggled with lust for 14 years, also Saint Mary of Egypt struggled with it too. ask for their intercessions, if they could overcome it, so can you. turn to Christ ☦️🙏
I made the same comment. It’s on his song “Wishing Well.” The thing is, I’m a big fan of Juices music, but idk if I should keep listening to it for spiritual reasons. I’m getting a lot of mixed signals
@@MimsotheGoat i mean you can get influenced without you wanting to,to me barely listening to secular music even if i enjoy it in the moment opened doors for lustful thoughts(based on what the songs are about),so i think it opens the door to sin
As someone who converted to Orthodoxy after 10 years of regular psychedelic use, I'd put psychedelics way higher than you did. It's taken years and years to untangle myself from the spirits involved with those drugs, and is still an ongoing battle.
Its actually easy to do a ranking because you can objectively measure which one kills the most people whixh is overeating and it also causes the most health problems short of death. And its not even a close call. You can also objectively measure which one is the most addictive. And it would be drugs and idk if this uneducated priest guy even knows that booze, weed, vaping and psychedelics are all drugs 😅, but specifically opioids, booze and benzos are the most addictive. None of the others can hurt you or kill you by quitting. You can use scientific studies and empirical data to almost objectively rank these.
Indeed. For some people what is not a problem is extremely bad. Whenever I've taken coke it's been a one and done every few years because I was offered, but for some one bump starts a daily habit.
I absolutely love anime, but Father is right. It can definitely become an addiction if you consume it nonstop without doing anything else productive with your time.
Like anything else? The fact that he singled anime is just ignorant af. And him saying they always have basic predictable storylines shows more ignorance. While he's also hypocritical being obese himself
The Japanese found the most efficient way to deliver high-quality visual content, so they can produce it in much larger amounts. Crappy American content, like live-action or animated sitcoms, are easy to make, ugly, and basic, but good American content takes years and millions of dollars to produce. Anime still takes lots of time and money, but not nearly as much as other high-quality content. I like shorter anime series because they can be watched like a regular TV show, but I have friends who have dedicated months of their free time to binging Bleach or One Peice. It’s good, but it never ends!
@@thedemotivationalspeaker3090 Another issue is that so much western content is steeped in a deconstructionist mentality. Everything is shades of grey, no real heroes, tiring cultural crap putting down men, sympathizing with villains, etc. Sometimes people want actual stories of good triumphing over evil, want men to be heroes without awful feminist virtue signaling, and admire the quality. That being said, you have to be healthy in how you approach things. Really anime as a category on the list could be replaced with TV in general.
I’d like to say though, that calling anime bad is like calling TV shows bad. Anime has something in every genre and every level of quality or brain rot. There are some well written and mature series, and there are basic slop shows geared towards teen boys. I just feel like if you have anime on here, you might as well just put “shows” or “TV” as an umbrella term that includes anime.
Depending how you use it! I binge watch Jay Dyer and other orthodox UA-camrs as and also crypto channels. I don't think it's a bad thing if I'm learning.
The argument that "it's not harming anyone" isnt true, it does harm the soul and others close to you. There is a reason we feel guilty when we are lazy or over-eat.
whenever I feel angry/hateful now I feel disgusted with myself. It's such a destructive force. We all need to go back to creation. Enough damage done to this world because of this mass sentiment of negativity and hostility.
I feel like physical exertion/activity is very important when it comes to managing anger. I do muay thai but when i don't go to the gym for a while i get these random violent/revenge fantasies and make up scenarios in my head. It's not like i get snappy or angry irl but the moment i'm bored my mind immediately goes to that, i never have that issue as long as i train. I can't begin to explain how retarded i feel when i've spent 10 minutes in my desk chair getting riled up over a made up scenario that never even hapened lmao

I've been following for a while, Moses. Your videos were very helpful in my restoration and consequently the restoration of my marriage. I'm very glad you're seeing traction and success with your channel, although it doesn't surprise me, this is important work and in high demand. Keep up the good work, I hope to someday meet you and thank you myself. Blessings in Him
So happy someone has the guts to put sex addiction next to drug addiction. I'm a sex addict, and I think me and my drug addict friends are two sides of the same coin even though they don't realize it. The suicide attempts, the broken relationships, the psychward visits, the very long and dark nights and the deathly pale gloomy days after. I think sex addiction is a taste of hell delivered to the victim on earth. But paradoxically, it is why I converted, so pray for me brothers and sisters. Your prayers are urgently needed. Wouldn't you know it, I was actually in a psychward in Georgetown because of my sex addiction.
say the lords prayer daily, bless your intakes such as food and water- put on the full armor of God- the nephilim of lust is very ancient, powerful, and violent- this prince of pality of lust leads a legion of lesser demons, it is only by seeking a connection with God that it can be defeated- chads video of cold showers and gym sessions will only lead you so far- the nephilim of lust will launch a full scale spiritual war against you in later phases of no fap- do not allow "no fap benefits" to become an idol- all those content creators failed because they were focused on "no fap benefits"- the nephilim of lust is way more powerful than chads advice rooted in the phyiscal realm- to defeat the demon of lust takes a full connection with God- i pray for you brother, the battle to defeat this ancient nephilim cannot be done on will alone
Hope you get well soon man. I realized how important celibacy is recently right after messing with a single mother and it made me feel so bad after, may God touch your heart and guide you brother
@@Crazy.Cat-Monk It really is total spiritual war, and not everybody makes it out alive, but my God is stronger than my lust. He will not abandon me, I owe him everything
In moderation anime can be ok, if not something to spend time with friends, but I personally see it as more of an issue when you allow it to consume a majority of your time, especially anime that shows "fan service" can be a temptation waiting to snare you into lust. It's really treading on thin ice, depending on what you're watching.
@@SmokedRye I think that is the case with a lot of things where too much can be bad. I 100% agree some animes have serious list issue. I think the story telling is much better and has better values than a lot of stuff in America. I would prefer my kids watch Naruto and HunterxHunter over outer banks or euphoria
@evanbiewer1762 By that standard 99% of modern entertainment is not "better for your soul". Can you tell me any popular form of entertainment that is "better for your soul" than anime is?
I have beaten lust for 2 weeks, its been unremarkably easy. Ive gone for 2 months my longest. I don't know what trap satan is laying for me but I'm almost certain that its coming soon, as satan always does for all people who try to escape his grasp. however if not, Glory be to God. Pray, and get deep into Gods word and he fills the hole that you where trying to fill with your sinful desires.
Unremarkably easy but you only lasted 2 months at your peak? ya bro, you need to realize it isnt easy and it never will be. So GJ on going this long, but dont get so arrogant that it is easy "Pride before destruction". Wise up.
@@lowlevelgrungus3381 you are kinda right, a more factual and realistic version of this is that you should think about your actions and the short and long term consequences of them with proper logic and research, otherwise whatever you're doing to avoid destroying your life.
So glad I found you Father Moses!!! The way you visualized the downward spiral of sin was INCREDIBLY eye-opening… I really really loved it. Thanks so much and keep being a vessel for the Lord! God bless.
Anime is what inspired me to start working out. There's obviously heavy themes of hard-work, determination, and overcoming adversity, which are obviously positive things. Depends whether you're watching dragonballz or whether you're watching some absolute degen weeb stuff though ofc.
@@primeslash how is "90% of anime about degenerate stuff" lmao? 90% of anime is literally about overcoming your struggles and becoming a better person.
Thank you! I'm addicted to my phone and I was doom scrolling when I found your video. Glory to God for sending this for me and may He bless you for serving him. Love you all✝️♥️
i started to do some research on gambling the past weeks and learned about this: - casinos are temples where people worship money, materialism and chance instead of relying on God's providence - in games of chance people put their faith in chaos with the illusion of having control over it - gambling somehow targets parts of the brain that affects spirituality putting the focus on the worldly - when the economy is uncertain people are more likely to take risks in gambling - high risk enviroments make people more open to gamble (this overlays with histotical patterns for example such as the gold rush in the wild west and the wild west itself and much more)
Love of money should've been included in this video. And oh boy, this addiction is DEADLIER than even gambling. You'll attract greed, and then be on a point, that you'll basically reject the Holy Spirit, wanting to choose earthly things instead. Luke 18:25 ”Indeed, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”
Please pray for me. I have struggled with an O***** addiction since I was 14 years old, and now I've had this scourge on my life for almost 15 years. I renewed my faith and returned to Church 2 years ago though I don't think I ever really stopped believing. I have been asking for Jesus Christ to deliver me from this addiction for years. I know everything is done in his perfect timing, but I am becoming discouraged. My life is a constant battle through withdrawal in an attempt to work my way through to being done with it forever. I am weak, I am tired, and I feel like I'm constantly letting God and myself down to the point where I'm afraid God will quit on me, I know he won't, but I don't feel worthy of his help. I pray I will have a breakthrough and be made free of this bondage through the divine mercy of the Lord, Amen 🙏
Praying for your deliverance from this addiction. Don’t give up and Keep persevering. Remember your guardian angel who is with you and all the Holy saints. You are not alone. 🙏☦️
Video pops up immediately after relapsing on Adderall. While not as intense as crystal meth, speed is still no bueno. Twice I've checked myself into the ER thinking I was having a hard attack. Abuse and dependency of this drug is unbearable. Please pray for me Fr.
It's absolutely a travesty how i was unfairly jailed and denied proper recourse back in the day; however, that might've been for my benefit. I'd been on Adderall XR during high school, and well let me tell you they don't let you have that if you're being held in jail. Thank goodness i wasn't able to become physically addicted to that substance.
I pray for your recovery and your health. The love and power of Christ is stronger than the grips of these addictions, ask for the intercession of the most holy Theotokos and mercy and guidance of the Holy Ghost. You will find peace through our Lord Jesus Christ.
You’ve got the power friend Christ within your soul friend, dig deep and plow through the withdrawals. Seek the best support around you. Jesus knows your struggles and needs to hear straight from you about how you stumbled and fell, ask him to help you back on your feet again.
I've overcome my worst addictions. It became easier the more I read the Bible and the more I familiarized myself with the Word of God. When you read and reflect it becomes easier to win against your temptations- for the love of Christ and his mercy.
I feel a decent generalization/categorization of a topic to mention in this is "Screen Addiction". Sure we have Social media, gaming, anime... Television, youtube, all manner of staring at a "False Light"... Are mentionable though. "Balance" of course not all things are bad. Self-Control is a missing factor. Jesus Christ is KING. We can overcome all this garbage by his power.
I wish smoking w33d wasn't so normalised... I used to work with events and entertainment, so it was always very popular, and I didn't see a single pot addict who was able to be really present, responsible, trustworthy, and productive. NOT talking about the "occasional smokers" who have a puff once in a while, but the ones for whom it's like a daily routine. It absolutely changes a person.
You haven’t met the right ones 😂 I’ve been smoking 10yrs and I swear I have a higher IQ than most uni (college) grads even politicians dumbfound me regarding how stupid/evil their policies are but then the more you research the more you realise… Jesus wrote the beginning and the end and the stage is being set for revelations as we speak

Well if you get high then your pretty much done for the next three hours, you're going to find it very hard to be productive. And I hear from stoners all the time, "that's just a skill issue, I'm more productive on it" like no you're not 😂. Just because you got super focused on it and cleaned your room one time doesn't mean that it makes you a more productive person. On top of that it adds anxiety, paranoia. If you're at work you might worry that you smell of it. And even if you've already sobered up, residually it's still going to have a knock on affect for your entire day.
I like this video. Tier lists are fun even if they are about stuff that hinders peoples lives, but what I really appreciate is that you shared a solution near the end of it which is the really important part.
you forgot to mention alcoholism... alcoholism and smoking are the worst especially smoking when you directly and obviously harm not only yourself but everyone around
I've definitely been addicted to pornography for 20 years. I've tried confession, accountability groups, accountability partners emailing and calling me, therapy sessions, a deliverance ministry, etc. And because I felt nothing worked, I just justified it thinking, as long as I believe and ask forgiveness to God and dedicate my life to God in all the rest of my time, I'll be fine," but still fall to it daily. I look forward to the day when my earthly sinful body will be replaced with a glorious heavenly one like unto Christ's, but I don't feel it's possible for me to stop this now. If there is a way, how?
I wrote down the all of the convictions I felt before, during and after the last time I fell to that. It’s nice being able to read it when I’m tempted. I went a few weeks to a month before my last fall. Here’s to forever now!
I haven't watched porn in years. I used my imagination more. I didn't need porn to play out my fantasies in my mind. Eventually I just got completely unhooked from porn.
Had the same issue. My priest told me it is because of pride that I cant let go of this vice. Need to practice humility, it helps especially if someone is wrongly attacking or accusing you and you endure it
Jesus Prayer: "Lord Jesus Christ Son of God have mercy on me a sinner". Repeat this prayer over and over and read the Philokalia to get the instructions on how you should practice this prayer.
Lol @ Fr Moses beeping weed like it’s a bad word. Coming from a “3rd” world country, and living in the “hood” I’ve seen how drugs ruin lives as a little kid. Never touched that stuff and will never do it. I remember one night in my little house on the favela, my grandpa built out of concrete and mud, and no glass windows or running water. And when it rain we had to put pots everywhere, one quiet night, I heard a family friend my grandpa saw grow up, and start driving a nice car, new shoes and jewelry, we all knew he was dealing drugs. That quiet night by the stairs that lead up the other hill where I lived filled with shanty houses like mine, we heard 3 people having an argument and suddenly gunfire. The next morning, that kid we all knew was dead, as me and my grand ma went to see the firefighters bring his body down the stairs. I still remember as a 7 year old seeing the firefighters carry his body, holding his feet and the other by his arms. And I still remember they stole his shoes and only had white Sox on. That kid made money his idol.
He is beeping it otherwise UA-cam might hinder his channel (not recommending it to people, not showing it in searches, etc.) or even just delete the video
The word is beeped because he said it before the 1 minute mark, which means UA-cam could Demonitize the video, that's why all the other words are not beeped since they are said after the 1 minute mark.
> Drugs ruin lives Close, in the cases of most drugs like heroin and meth yes, but in the case of less harmful stuff like weed and shrooms (an as in your story) it's criminalisation that makes the danger. The main danger of most drugs is what the government will do to you for using them and the criminal enterprises that thrive off of illegal goods they can sell.
Don't be one of those. I've been into anime since back when it was the opposite and very uncool but I wouldn't gatekeep it lol. Makes no difference to me Besides, it's still considered pretty uncool outside the Internet. Well, unless you're under 25 or whatever
My friends, I am a Protestant Baptist that is heavily desiring to join the Orthodox Church. I have done a lot of research about church history and it all points back to Orthodoxy! Please pray for me… I feel very alone and am even struggling to have this conversation with my wife who is also Protestant - it is a topic that brings frustration. There is an Orthodox Church that I have emailed and they say they would like for me to come for service, and then talk to the priest afterwards. I just ask that you please pray for my courage, and leading from God 🙏 I really want to go; but doing this alone is intimidating. ❤
Do go there and attend but give time for your wife. God will bring her in when it benefits her. Don't try to convince, but answer questions if need be. God bless!
What great video man. Thank you Father for making this… I watched my dad fall into the lake of fire. Drugs and sex took over his life… He passed away on March 18th, 2020 from a fentanyl overdose. Im 24 now and am currently struggling with mixing weed and cigarettes to smoke my bong and with gaming absurd amounts of my time away. Porn isn’t necessary something I struggle with now but it was a problem in the past. I think this year has to be the year i change my ways, I find myself being extremely angry and filled with emotions everyday and it makes me ask myself the question of why am i doing this to myself? I know I’ve seen some horrible things and had terrible things happen in my life but that doesn’t make it right. Smoking honestly really helped me get through those hellish years of living in a drug den with my dad but what really helped me was my faith in Christ and the friends that stayed by me through the darkest of times. My friends fed me, Gave me places to go when I couldn’t take it anymore, and they would come by the house daily to hang out with me even when I couldn’t go to school anymore… The last night of me sleeping on a wooden bench in an unfinished basement was the night I prayed and asked the lord to help me. I woke up the next day to an uncle that hadn’t seen me in 2 and a half years put his hand on my shoulder telling me “Wake up buddy, Its time to go now”. I was raised a Roman Catholic but i would never pray, I honestly didn’t know how to pray but i did that night and things changed so drastically and quickly that it solidified what just happened. That prayer changed my life, My uncle said that to me. I feel the urge to pray again asking for forgiveness and healing but Im not sure if i deserve that right now. There’s alot of things i should be doing at this very moment that i just refuse to do. I haven’t worked in years and i just sit around all day and do nothing, Ive got about 4-5 months left of savings before I have to worry about being homeless again. I still haven’t gotten my drivers licence either, So I’m basically living in peak looserville right now and it just sucks. Im either going to end up in the canadian armed forces or working some dead end job trying to get my high school diploma equivalent.
Amen brother, connect better with friends find ways to do so in sobriety you have this year to beat sin, and remember you are loved by god and your family
@@tylere.8436 I didn't intend to "ruin" anything, just expressed my opinion about his reason of quitting porn. The reason could've been to be more athletic, focused, healthy, etc. Personal benefits, something real. Not some old jewish fictional character.
He forgot the religion addiction. I think it s in loserville: living your life deeply trusting something only because some people said it's true (wtf ?). Also sex and porn are overrated, and a lot of things here are just drugs, so no need for repetition.
just putting this out here as someone who has had experience with this: (it gets a bit graphic and sensitive, reader's discretion is advised) I think the most deadly combination for a lot of us (alongside drugs) is actually a combination of 2 really bad ones: Anime and Porn This.... this is the worst form of porn in my opinion. Because literally ANYTHING goes, no real-world limitations, unfortunately I have seen some things in that genre which I honestly could label as the literal worst things I have ever seen. Not to mention it's a breeding ground for pedophiles. i firmly believe A LOT of pedophiles were just anime enjoyers who went a bit too far into the genre, because there are some shows designed to sexualize kids. It's disgusting. I was addicted to this specific genre and I remember thinking to myself, 'this is gonna kill me' - literally when I was over with a session lasting all the way into the wee hours of the morning. The images and videos, are too beautiful... I'm not saying this to peak your curiousity, please.... stay the heck away from that garbage and lust in general, our bodies are temples of the Holy Ghost, strengthen it, clean it and take care of it, don't join yourself to an OF model or even a fictional character. Please...
I cannot agree more, though I can't relate to that exact category (it's still lust on the internet though). It's all the same demonic source, different package and coloring, but that's it - garbage. Praise God for His mercifulness
I love this straight to the point information we all can learn from in such a short time. This video should be seen by ALL, expecially teenagers imho, so they are warned and have the knowledge to a solution embedded in them. Thank you!
I found Jesus at 24 through mushrooms, take what you will with that. I was safe with my trips and never had a bad trip, haven't tripped since finding him. Great video!
I think psychotropics are definitely a mechanism for accessing that which humanity is not meant to tread consciously upon. God takes many forms and acts mysteriously. I don't know why there exists these demons and devils which also traverse into our realm; it is unfortunate how a bad trip can open one's soul to these evil entities as well.
he prob just doesnt care enough about anime to watch the niche stuff,esp since he just called it a timewaste and nothing more. ofc not all anime is the same but i agree that most mainstream anime is boring and generic.
Ending was predictable, but the series was good, honestly a pretty short anime in comparison to others, best anime made imo. Binge watching is an issue, if you treat it as gaming, and keep the hours to a respectable level it’s not completely a waste of time. If it’s high quality imo. AOT led me to research more about the orthodox faith because there is some parallels, with the flood(rumbling) Eren communicating being a dove(Holy Spirit) and the life tree which is Jesus. It’s definitely not a direct correlation but there’s inspired thematics.
It's easy to say that, but this is your brain's subconscious reaction to being judged. He's talking about you. He's talking about Attack on Titan. You may think YOUR case and the animes YOU know are ok, but they are not. Stop trusting your own brain, it is biased. Put your trust in the good father and trust him on this one. Stop watching anime.
Fr I’ll say this much about anime. There are certain shows that get me so fired up that my lifts in the gym are more productive, sprints are faster, etc. and I’m motivated to clean up my diet. Some of the fight scenes and the music that goes with them, while entirely over the top, are awesome hype material. DBZ, One Punch Man, AoT, etc. You’re not wrong that the majority is absolute trash, some actually have pretty fascinating stories philosophically speaking that are fun to chew on.
it's really the same with TV shows, Movies, even Books and other forms of media. most of it is trash. but everyone in a while there's a classic that's remembered for a long time. like how the book Don Quixote was written in 1605 but we still real about it today, 400 years later. no one reads all the other writing from that era. likewise some anime like cowboy beebop, evangelion, ghibli, and other films and shows from anime are truly master pieces. they're works of art. but not every piece of art is worth remembering.
@@Runandgun13you can say all hobbies are this way really. Whether you’d want to argue that some hobbies let you talk to others. Then I’d argue that that would lack self awareness as we are taught to also have alone time to just be with yourself. To chew on knowledge with yourself. Humans are not all work, humans are living beings that need breaks. As long as there is balance in work and relaxation then it is fine.
I’m a Christian and I really tried to quit my porn addiction through prayer and tried become religious but it absolutely didn’t help at all. This reduced my devotion to my religion significantly and after a few months I read a book called ‘Easy Peasy method to quit porn’ and I suddenly have almost no urge to pmo after 10-12 years of suffering. This makes me really think that religion is nothing but just there to put fear into people. I’m no hater or atheist now but I barely believe religion helps with anything at all. A book helped me with my addiction in a matter of hours and yet all the prayer and crying alone in my room before that amounted to nothing but more suffering
My dad was a mild paranoid schizophrenic until the day he died due to him showing off in his 20's around friends. A buddy of his told me he'd take multiple hits of LSD to prove a point at a party, and never fully recovered from it. Our relationship could have been much more different if he hadn't done stupid stuff like that back in the day. I had to witness multiple episodes of psychosis because my dad was a follower and hardly led by example.
@@Uomo_Universaleyeah, psychedelic can bring to surface underlying mental health condition, but they don't "cause" it. If you get schizophrenia because of a drug, you were gonna get it sooner or later. So if your family has a history of schizophrenia stay away from psychedelic obviously
I'm gonna cry I took lots of LSD at 17 , I'm 18 now and I think I'm never going to recover I'm stuck like this forever man this comment actually scares me I am schizophrenic but I am diagnosed with psychosis this comment makes me sad I don't know what to do anymore I try so much
As a young man who has seen how prevalent psychedilic use is currently, I'd humbly rank it higher than playing with fire. The context in which many people use it now is at festivals or raves. It often leads to other sins like promiscuity and egaging with other vices and drugs. It's neurological effect is much greater than that of alcohol and very often tempts people to engage in behavior they otherwise wouldn't. Many people are not themselves when they take it and while I have used them a few times (thanfully with little to no effect) I will not return to them.
Totally agree with the anime. Some of the older stuff is masterpiece level art; the studio ghibli stuff, fist of the northstar, cowboy bebop. Akin to visiting a museum. But the slop they're churning out nowadays is just a waste of time just like you said. and not to mention some of the gross pedophilic stuff on one end of the anime spectrum. As christians we just need to have discernment, and elevate our tastes
I do believe though that most anime fans do not watch the slop. They tune in for the big titles or even read to find better titles that have far more meaning than the slop the studios put out now to get an extra buck.
Agreed back then they used to have meaning even like stuff from like 2010 had decent stuff, This one boxing Anime( Don’t remember the name ) made me pursue boxing and working out til this day.
I wouldn’t say I have a sex addiction but I’ve been involved with causal sex my whole life. I’m trying to accept that I should never have sex again unless I’m married.
I had a few partners and saw a literal demon inhabiting my then sexual partner, demon had a message and when I told it to her she was rolling her eyes as possessed. I thought I would never want sex again outside of marriage but year and a half later I crave it almost as hard as before. I am struggling to accept that as well despite not only having this experience but even reading sex magick books which advertise sex as ultimate gate to the spirit world which I believe them fully about after what I saw. I want nothing to do with the spirit world but I want that sex hard and not just casually, I overindulged in it hours at the time and if I ever did it I would do it like this again, ironically that is what satanists advise you to do as means of contacting and inviting spirits into you. Right now lack of access to it is saving me, if it was effortless I would probably do it but because I have to put in effort and I know it is destructive I just sit here and do nothing, luckily.
It’s hard for me to feel convicted about smoking because it simply doesn’t affect me the same way it does other people. Im extremely productive. At work, in the gym, hobbies. Smoking weed never puts me in the couch. It allows me to slow down and compartmentalize my thoughts as an over thinker. And I don’t even smoke weed I actually smoke wax. Concentrate. Much cleaner. Is God cursing my life because I smoke?
Such a drug affects everyone differently. It is a similar situation for me. Start speaking to your priest about this, and ensure you mention this. Understanding and using drugs for reasons other than to just get the high, tends to be a productive reason. God bless your journey 🙏 ☦️
God made man, man made religion, religious people judge you for smoking weed. If you're not addicted and changing your life for the worse and you put God first, it's better for your mental to ignore the modern pharisees.
Id say stay away from the wax and concentrates. They are too strong and will fry your brain eventually. Go back to vaporising bud or hashish so you aren't exposing yourself to ridiculous doses and getting a tolerance. Eating it is also healthier because your liver does the work Good for you that you are productive and weed doesn't sofa lock you. But the concentration is still not good
@@aguy6771 Weed can also treat the nausea caused by chemotherapy. It does have medical applications. So does morphine, though. I smoke sometimes because it helps with arthritis pain and the other alternatives for that are more dangerous. (opioids, strong NSAIDS which are hard on your kidneys and liver).

Hmmm somethings off with the se x/po rn part. Things might be different for you guys , but i just know that a lot of men, constantly on a daily base feel the urge to make love with a beautiful woman or at least one they find attractive.
Now seeing this video i'm surprised that all you guys have amazing making love marriages or something, but i know quite some guys who can just never get a woman they find attractive, because in all fairness their just not good enough for these womens standards. Maybe no looks , no , status , no money, not good enough in whatever way no matter what they do or try. Actually there have been studies that confirm this.
So God gives these men the curse so to speak of a never-ending urge, never being satisfied, must they castrate themselves or something? Or does God wants you to suffer, and if you give in on top of it more punishment and lake of fire LOL Can you explain to me how this is not sadistic if your theory is right? You think every man rather watches porn than having a beautiful wife and loveife etc?
So what you leave out of the equation is that God puts a lot men( not all but quite some which makes it even worse regarding fairness) in constant bondage of neverending urges and needs which automatically leads them into the grip of the devil , wow sounds pretty evil to me.
Actually there is quite some things like this that are quite sadistic but I dont want to crush peoples faith cause hey, that'll even lead to more punishment right wow
Any thoughts on this?
I love the handcuff analogy, I have given consent far too many times but am sobering up and taking a 1 way ticket out of loserville haha I will practice the Jesus prayer before giving consent to the devil. I don't know if you read these but if you do you're doing a great service and on top of that in an incredible, entertaining format I love the tier list format anyway thank you Father for sharing this wisdom and praying for us who are in need of it. You are with God, I'm not that good at noticing divine thing's but it is as clear as crystal that Jesus is using you. Have a good rest of your evening, Father :-)
Father, I dare you to watch "Death Note" and predict the ending. You are kind of confounding Dragon Ball with other animes. Even the more popular ones, like Naruto Shippuden, have such intricate storylines that would make you cry every single episode.
Now, you said 70 hours. Father, hahaha, I watch anime, have always done so. It takes 20 minutes of my life WEEKLY (because of the weekly episodes). How is that 70 hours? No... reconsider.
Also, there is a weird correlation in my industry that we sometimes joke about. Engineers that watch anime and game are ALWAYS better than the ones who don't. I don't understand it, I've tried to prove this hypothesis wrong and couldn't. So in the end, hell, I consider it necessary these days xD. A guy tells me he plays golf and I'd be like "cool hobbie". A guy tells me they play League of Legends and watch anime? I know they are cracked and will pass the technical interview as if I asked arithmetic questions.

Guys pay attention. Watching a tv show after work or the weekend or 4 hrs a week of gaming isnt an addiction inherently. Father is referring to when it IS AN ADDICTION
addiction : when it becomes a distraction from responsibilities, something to pass the time while waiting to die
Gaming is not an addiction unless you've become completely dependent on it and can't stop yourself when it starts to get in the way of important responsibilities.

As long as your time spent with Jesus and GOD is longer or you did more things during that time even though it was shorter, you're fine. But 10-50 is an actual addiction. Spending so much time of your day is just bad, and above 50+?? Cut the weebness! What is wrong with you? And remember to pray, put trust and faith and god.

@@brandon9122-j9dWhy don’t you look into how the other weekdays got their names?
Come on man, don't you think there's a reason for that? It's because God is real and is the author of all wisdom. I encourage you to investigate the evidence for God's existence.
As far as evidence for God's existence goes, we have a mountain of it:
The cosmological argument
The teleological argument
The moral argument
The ontological argument
The complexity of life (DNA) argument
The argument from mathematics
The argument from consciousness
The argument from desire
The argument from epistemological uncertainty
The argument from motion
The digital physics argument for God's existence
Fulfilled Biblical prophecy
Archaeological evidence (re: the discovered ruins of Sodom and Gomorrah)
Jesus' otherworldly intellect and the ethical genius of the Sermon on the Mount
The historical evidence for the life, death, and resurrection of Christ
Documented cases of Near Death Experiences
Documented miracles
Documented demonic activity (re: the work of Dr Richard Gallagher, for example)
And one of my favourites: the simple fact that western society has MASSIVELY degenerated over the past 20 years as we have moved further away from God.
As for the lack of "physical proof", look into the "Problem of divine hiddenness". Long story short, God has perfectly good reasons for obscuring his existence to a certain degree. God also has perfectly good reasons for allowing evil and suffering to exist in this world. All in all, when you consider the reasoning and evidence in summary, there's an extremely compelling cumulative case for God's existence.
Just start praying and see if it changes your life.

Addiction is a symptom of an overall deeper issue within you.
If you were to magically remove a person's memory of addiction, all their neuron connections to it, but do not solve the root cause. There's a chance they'd just find their way back to it eventually.
Addiction is a symptom of deeper issues. You can't just fix the addiction itself, you need to understand why you are seeking the addiction out.
Anxiety, boredom, stress, insecurity, trauma.
Once you figure out what the root cause is, you can much better rid yourself of whatever addiction you have.
imo addiction is a refuge. find what you are running away from and you can fix it. until you are strong enough to fix it, you could find better (healthier) refuges (most used: religion/gym)

It’s hard to do a ranking, because everyone has a different relationship with each product
Its actually easy to do a ranking because you can objectively measure which one kills the most people whixh is overeating and it also causes the most health problems short of death. And its not even a close call.
You can also objectively measure which one is the most addictive. And it would be drugs and idk if this uneducated priest guy even knows that booze, weed, vaping and psychedelics are all drugs 😅, but specifically opioids, booze and benzos are the most addictive. None of the others can hurt you or kill you by quitting.
You can use scientific studies and empirical data to almost objectively rank these.
Addiction can be lumped together as an effort to escape a confronting reality, these different types are just various avenues individuals can take.
Social media, and shopping should be ranked higher, Facebook can put distance between families and overspending can ruin every other aspect of life.
Indeed. For some people what is not a problem is extremely bad.
Whenever I've taken coke it's been a one and done every few years because I was offered, but for some one bump starts a daily habit.
maybe stop cooming
I absolutely love anime, but Father is right. It can definitely become an addiction if you consume it nonstop without doing anything else productive with your time.
Like anything else? The fact that he singled anime is just ignorant af. And him saying they always have basic predictable storylines shows more ignorance. While he's also hypocritical being obese himself
@McCarthy1776 bruh. They are right about you - many muscles, no brain
The Japanese found the most efficient way to deliver high-quality visual content, so they can produce it in much larger amounts. Crappy American content, like live-action or animated sitcoms, are easy to make, ugly, and basic, but good American content takes years and millions of dollars to produce. Anime still takes lots of time and money, but not nearly as much as other high-quality content. I like shorter anime series because they can be watched like a regular TV show, but I have friends who have dedicated months of their free time to binging Bleach or One Peice. It’s good, but it never ends!
I use to watch a lot of anime but now I’m lucky to get 1 or 2 episodes a day
@@thedemotivationalspeaker3090 Another issue is that so much western content is steeped in a deconstructionist mentality. Everything is shades of grey, no real heroes, tiring cultural crap putting down men, sympathizing with villains, etc. Sometimes people want actual stories of good triumphing over evil, want men to be heroes without awful feminist virtue signaling, and admire the quality.
That being said, you have to be healthy in how you approach things. Really anime as a category on the list could be replaced with TV in general.
I’d like to say though, that calling anime bad is like calling TV shows bad. Anime has something in every genre and every level of quality or brain rot. There are some well written and mature series, and there are basic slop shows geared towards teen boys.
I just feel like if you have anime on here, you might as well just put “shows” or “TV” as an umbrella term that includes anime.

The argument that "it's not harming anyone" isnt true, it does harm the soul and others close to you. There is a reason we feel guilty when we are lazy or over-eat.
"it's not harming anyone" Yes it is, it's called "self harm"

Anger is an addiction for some.
whenever I feel angry/hateful now I feel disgusted with myself. It's such a destructive force. We all need to go back to creation. Enough damage done to this world because of this mass sentiment of negativity and hostility.
I don't think "anger" would classify as an addiction, though some people love using it as a go-to emotion, for sure.
I feel like physical exertion/activity is very important when it comes to managing anger. I do muay thai but when i don't go to the gym for a while i get these random violent/revenge fantasies and make up scenarios in my head. It's not like i get snappy or angry irl but the moment i'm bored my mind immediately goes to that, i never have that issue as long as i train.
I can't begin to explain how retarded i feel when i've spent 10 minutes in my desk chair getting riled up over a made up scenario that never even hapened lmao

I've been following for a while, Moses. Your videos were very helpful in my restoration and consequently the restoration of my marriage. I'm very glad you're seeing traction and success with your channel, although it doesn't surprise me, this is important work and in high demand. Keep up the good work, I hope to someday meet you and thank you myself. Blessings in Him
So happy someone has the guts to put sex addiction next to drug addiction. I'm a sex addict, and I think me and my drug addict friends are two sides of the same coin even though they don't realize it. The suicide attempts, the broken relationships, the psychward visits, the very long and dark nights and the deathly pale gloomy days after. I think sex addiction is a taste of hell delivered to the victim on earth. But paradoxically, it is why I converted, so pray for me brothers and sisters. Your prayers are urgently needed. Wouldn't you know it, I was actually in a psychward in Georgetown because of my sex addiction.
If you don't mind me asking, do you wish you remained a virgin?
say the lords prayer daily, bless your intakes such as food and water- put on the full armor of God- the nephilim of lust is very ancient, powerful, and violent- this prince of pality of lust leads a legion of lesser demons, it is only by seeking a connection with God that it can be defeated- chads video of cold showers and gym sessions will only lead you so far- the nephilim of lust will launch a full scale spiritual war against you in later phases of no fap- do not allow "no fap benefits" to become an idol- all those content creators failed because they were focused on "no fap benefits"- the nephilim of lust is way more powerful than chads advice rooted in the phyiscal realm- to defeat the demon of lust takes a full connection with God- i pray for you brother, the battle to defeat this ancient nephilim cannot be done on will alone
Hope you get well soon man. I realized how important celibacy is recently right after messing with a single mother and it made me feel so bad after, may God touch your heart and guide you brother
I pray peace be upon you brother

Anime is better than watching most American media…
It’s not better for your soul
@evanbiewer1762 if it's not some sexualized anime or demonic, watching it every once in a while isnt bad
In moderation anime can be ok, if not something to spend time with friends, but I personally see it as more of an issue when you allow it to consume a majority of your time, especially anime that shows "fan service" can be a temptation waiting to snare you into lust.
It's really treading on thin ice, depending on what you're watching.
@@SmokedRye I think that is the case with a lot of things where too much can be bad. I 100% agree some animes have serious list issue. I think the story telling is much better and has better values than a lot of stuff in America. I would prefer my kids watch Naruto and HunterxHunter over outer banks or euphoria
@evanbiewer1762 By that standard 99% of modern entertainment is not "better for your soul". Can you tell me any popular form of entertainment that is "better for your soul" than anime is?

Anime is what inspired me to start working out. There's obviously heavy themes of hard-work, determination, and overcoming adversity, which are obviously positive things. Depends whether you're watching dragonballz or whether you're watching some absolute degen weeb stuff though ofc.

i started to do some research on gambling the past weeks and learned about this:
- casinos are temples where people worship money, materialism and chance instead of relying on God's providence
- in games of chance people put their faith in chaos with the illusion of having control over it
- gambling somehow targets parts of the brain that affects spirituality putting the focus on the worldly
- when the economy is uncertain people are more likely to take risks in gambling
- high risk enviroments make people more open to gamble (this overlays with histotical patterns for example such as the gold rush in the wild west and the wild west itself and much more)
Love of money should've been included in this video. And oh boy, this addiction is DEADLIER than even gambling. You'll attract greed, and then be on a point, that you'll basically reject the Holy Spirit, wanting to choose earthly things instead.
Luke 18:25 ”Indeed, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”

Please pray for me. I have struggled with an O***** addiction since I was 14 years old, and now I've had this scourge on my life for almost 15 years. I renewed my faith and returned to Church 2 years ago though I don't think I ever really stopped believing. I have been asking for Jesus Christ to deliver me from this addiction for years. I know everything is done in his perfect timing, but I am becoming discouraged. My life is a constant battle through withdrawal in an attempt to work my way through to being done with it forever. I am weak, I am tired, and I feel like I'm constantly letting God and myself down to the point where I'm afraid God will quit on me, I know he won't, but I don't feel worthy of his help. I pray I will have a breakthrough and be made free of this bondage through the divine mercy of the Lord, Amen 🙏

Video pops up immediately after relapsing on Adderall. While not as intense as crystal meth, speed is still no bueno. Twice I've checked myself into the ER thinking I was having a hard attack. Abuse and dependency of this drug is unbearable.
Please pray for me Fr.
I feel you brother I used to play around with speed but was really bad off on Opiates and Benzos, I wish the best for you brother
It's absolutely a travesty how i was unfairly jailed and denied proper recourse back in the day; however, that might've been for my benefit. I'd been on Adderall XR during high school, and well let me tell you they don't let you have that if you're being held in jail. Thank goodness i wasn't able to become physically addicted to that substance.
I pray for your recovery and your health. The love and power of Christ is stronger than the grips of these addictions, ask for the intercession of the most holy Theotokos and mercy and guidance of the Holy Ghost. You will find peace through our Lord Jesus Christ.

I feel a decent generalization/categorization of a topic to mention in this is "Screen Addiction".
Sure we have Social media, gaming, anime... Television, youtube, all manner of staring at a "False Light"...
Are mentionable though.
"Balance" of course not all things are bad. Self-Control is a missing factor.

I wish smoking w33d wasn't so normalised... I used to work with events and entertainment, so it was always very popular, and I didn't see a single pot addict who was able to be really present, responsible, trustworthy, and productive. NOT talking about the "occasional smokers" who have a puff once in a while, but the ones for whom it's like a daily routine. It absolutely changes a person.
You haven’t met the right ones 😂 I’ve been smoking 10yrs and I swear I have a higher IQ than most uni (college) grads even politicians dumbfound me regarding how stupid/evil their policies are but then the more you research the more you realise… Jesus wrote the beginning and the end and the stage is being set for revelations as we speak

Well if you get high then your pretty much done for the next three hours, you're going to find it very hard to be productive. And I hear from stoners all the time, "that's just a skill issue, I'm more productive on it" like no you're not 😂. Just because you got super focused on it and cleaned your room one time doesn't mean that it makes you a more productive person. On top of that it adds anxiety, paranoia. If you're at work you might worry that you smell of it. And even if you've already sobered up, residually it's still going to have a knock on affect for your entire day.

I've definitely been addicted to pornography for 20 years. I've tried confession, accountability groups, accountability partners emailing and calling me, therapy sessions, a deliverance ministry, etc. And because I felt nothing worked, I just justified it thinking, as long as I believe and ask forgiveness to God and dedicate my life to God in all the rest of my time, I'll be fine," but still fall to it daily. I look forward to the day when my earthly sinful body will be replaced with a glorious heavenly one like unto Christ's, but I don't feel it's possible for me to stop this now. If there is a way, how?
I wrote down the all of the convictions I felt before, during and after the last time I fell to that. It’s nice being able to read it when I’m tempted. I went a few weeks to a month before my last fall. Here’s to forever now!
I haven't watched porn in years. I used my imagination more. I didn't need porn to play out my fantasies in my mind. Eventually I just got completely unhooked from porn.
Had the same issue. My priest told me it is because of pride that I cant let go of this vice. Need to practice humility, it helps especially if someone is wrongly attacking or accusing you and you endure it

@@ChaseTheGoose47 How does that even make sense?
Lol @ Fr Moses beeping weed like it’s a bad word.
Coming from a “3rd” world country, and living in the “hood” I’ve seen how drugs ruin lives as a little kid. Never touched that stuff and will never do it.
I remember one night in my little house on the favela, my grandpa built out of concrete and mud, and no glass windows or running water. And when it rain we had to put pots everywhere, one quiet night, I heard a family friend my grandpa saw grow up, and start driving a nice car, new shoes and jewelry, we all knew he was dealing drugs. That quiet night by the stairs that lead up the other hill where I lived filled with shanty houses like mine, we heard 3 people having an argument and suddenly gunfire.
The next morning, that kid we all knew was dead, as me and my grand ma went to see the firefighters bring his body down the stairs. I still remember as a 7 year old seeing the firefighters carry his body, holding his feet and the other by his arms. And I still remember they stole his shoes and only had white Sox on.
That kid made money his idol.
He is beeping it otherwise UA-cam might hinder his channel (not recommending it to people, not showing it in searches, etc.) or even just delete the video
The word is beeped because he said it before the 1 minute mark, which means UA-cam could Demonitize the video, that's why all the other words are not beeped since they are said after the 1 minute mark.
> Drugs ruin lives
Close, in the cases of most drugs like heroin and meth yes, but in the case of less harmful stuff like weed and shrooms (an as in your story) it's criminalisation that makes the danger. The main danger of most drugs is what the government will do to you for using them and the criminal enterprises that thrive off of illegal goods they can sell.

My friends, I am a Protestant Baptist that is heavily desiring to join the Orthodox Church. I have done a lot of research about church history and it all points back to Orthodoxy! Please pray for me… I feel very alone and am even struggling to have this conversation with my wife who is also Protestant - it is a topic that brings frustration. There is an Orthodox Church that I have emailed and they say they would like for me to come for service, and then talk to the priest afterwards. I just ask that you please pray for my courage, and leading from God 🙏 I really want to go; but doing this alone is intimidating. ❤
Do go there and attend but give time for your wife. God will bring her in when it benefits her. Don't try to convince, but answer questions if need be. God bless!
What great video man.
Thank you Father for making this… I watched my dad fall into the lake of fire.
Drugs and sex took over his life… He passed away on March 18th, 2020 from a fentanyl overdose.
Im 24 now and am currently struggling with mixing weed and cigarettes to smoke my bong and with gaming absurd amounts of my time away. Porn isn’t necessary something I struggle with now but it was a problem in the past.
I think this year has to be the year i change my ways, I find myself being extremely angry and filled with emotions everyday and it makes me ask myself the question of why am i doing this to myself?
I know I’ve seen some horrible things and had terrible things happen in my life but that doesn’t make it right.
Smoking honestly really helped me get through those hellish years of living in a drug den with my dad but what really helped me was my faith in Christ and the friends that stayed by me through the darkest of times.
My friends fed me, Gave me places to go when I couldn’t take it anymore, and they would come by the house daily to hang out with me even when I couldn’t go to school anymore…
The last night of me sleeping on a wooden bench in an unfinished basement was the night I prayed and asked the lord to help me.
I woke up the next day to an uncle that hadn’t seen me in 2 and a half years put his hand on my shoulder telling me “Wake up buddy, Its time to go now”.
I was raised a Roman Catholic but i would never pray, I honestly didn’t know how to pray but i did that night and things changed so drastically and quickly that it solidified what just happened.
That prayer changed my life, My uncle said that to me.
I feel the urge to pray again asking for forgiveness and healing but Im not sure if i deserve that right now.
There’s alot of things i should be doing at this very moment that i just refuse to do.
I haven’t worked in years and i just sit around all day and do nothing, Ive got about 4-5 months left of savings before I have to worry about being homeless again.
I still haven’t gotten my drivers licence either, So I’m basically living in peak looserville right now and it just sucks.
Im either going to end up in the canadian armed forces or working some dead end job trying to get my high school diploma equivalent.

We got Orthodox Priests making ranking sins videos before GTA VI... And I'm all for it!
just putting this out here as someone who has had experience with this:
(it gets a bit graphic and sensitive, reader's discretion is advised)
I think the most deadly combination for a lot of us (alongside drugs) is actually a combination of 2 really bad ones: Anime and Porn
This.... this is the worst form of porn in my opinion. Because literally ANYTHING goes, no real-world limitations, unfortunately I have seen some things in that genre which I honestly could label as the literal worst things I have ever seen.
Not to mention it's a breeding ground for pedophiles. i firmly believe A LOT of pedophiles were just anime enjoyers who went a bit too far into the genre, because there are some shows designed to sexualize kids. It's disgusting.
I was addicted to this specific genre and I remember thinking to myself, 'this is gonna kill me' - literally when I was over with a session lasting all the way into the wee hours of the morning.
The images and videos, are too beautiful... I'm not saying this to peak your curiousity, please.... stay the heck away from that garbage and lust in general, our bodies are temples of the Holy Ghost, strengthen it, clean it and take care of it, don't join yourself to an OF model or even a fictional character.
Please...
now that u say this it really is if i think about the things i've seen there they are really bad.
That makes a TONNE of sense
I cannot agree more, though I can't relate to that exact category (it's still lust on the internet though). It's all the same demonic source, different package and coloring, but that's it - garbage. Praise God for His mercifulness

I keep weed as a sacrament and wonder if it may have been used in Judeo-Christian worship over the last few millennia.
I think psychotropics are definitely a mechanism for accessing that which humanity is not meant to tread consciously upon. God takes many forms and acts mysteriously. I don't know why there exists these demons and devils which also traverse into our realm; it is unfortunate how a bad trip can open one's soul to these evil entities as well.

Psychedelics showed me the true way. I was raised atheist but after a single trip I knew enough and found God.

@patrickbateman4985 ending was trash. But i am talking about the rest of the series
Ending was predictable, but the series was good, honestly a pretty short anime in comparison to others, best anime made imo.

If it’s high quality imo.
AOT led me to research more about the orthodox faith because there is some parallels, with the flood(rumbling) Eren communicating being a dove(Holy Spirit) and the life tree which is Jesus.
It’s definitely not a direct correlation but there’s inspired thematics.
It's easy to say that, but this is your brain's subconscious reaction to being judged. He's talking about you. He's talking about Attack on Titan. You may think YOUR case and the animes YOU know are ok, but they are not. Stop trusting your own brain, it is biased. Put your trust in the good father and trust him on this one. Stop watching anime.
Fr I’ll say this much about anime. There are certain shows that get me so fired up that my lifts in the gym are more productive, sprints are faster, etc. and I’m motivated to clean up my diet. Some of the fight scenes and the music that goes with them, while entirely over the top, are awesome hype material. DBZ, One Punch Man, AoT, etc.
You’re not wrong that the majority is absolute trash, some actually have pretty fascinating stories philosophically speaking that are fun to chew on.
it's really the same with TV shows, Movies, even Books and other forms of media. most of it is trash. but everyone in a while there's a classic that's remembered for a long time. like how the book Don Quixote was written in 1605 but we still real about it today, 400 years later. no one reads all the other writing from that era. likewise some anime like cowboy beebop, evangelion, ghibli, and other films and shows from anime are truly master pieces. they're works of art. but not every piece of art is worth remembering.
AoT is peak.
You're missing the point, it's about time wasted when you could be doing other more productive things, not how good or bad it is.
@@Runandgun13you can say all hobbies are this way really. Whether you’d want to argue that some hobbies let you talk to others. Then I’d argue that that would lack self awareness as we are taught to also have alone time to just be with yourself. To chew on knowledge with yourself. Humans are not all work, humans are living beings that need breaks. As long as there is balance in work and relaxation then it is fine.
@@TheSouthernCrusader1776music is peak in AOT.
I’m a Christian and I really tried to quit my porn addiction through prayer and tried become religious but it absolutely didn’t help at all. This reduced my devotion to my religion significantly and after a few months I read a book called ‘Easy Peasy method to quit porn’ and I suddenly have almost no urge to pmo after 10-12 years of suffering. This makes me really think that religion is nothing but just there to put fear into people. I’m no hater or atheist now but I barely believe religion helps with anything at all. A book helped me with my addiction in a matter of hours and yet all the prayer and crying alone in my room before that amounted to nothing but more suffering

My dad was a mild paranoid schizophrenic until the day he died due to him showing off in his 20's around friends. A buddy of his told me he'd take multiple hits of LSD to prove a point at a party, and never fully recovered from it. Our relationship could have been much more different if he hadn't done stupid stuff like that back in the day. I had to witness multiple episodes of psychosis because my dad was a follower and hardly led by example.

@@Uomo_Universaleyeah, psychedelic can bring to surface underlying mental health condition, but they don't "cause" it. If you get schizophrenia because of a drug, you were gonna get it sooner or later. So if your family has a history of schizophrenia stay away from psychedelic obviously
@@tomgee8211it is true- anyone can have acute psychosis, but not everyone can develop schizophrenia.
I'm gonna cry I took lots of LSD at 17 , I'm 18 now and I think I'm never going to recover I'm stuck like this forever man this comment actually scares me I am schizophrenic but I am diagnosed with psychosis this comment makes me sad I don't know what to do anymore I try so much
@@flowingthroughveinsofgod I'll pray for you. I hope you recover man
to be honest i’ve met MANY successful people who actively smoke weed. it depends how one uses their vice.
So where are you hiding the little boys Priests 😆 ✝ 👨😱😨👦🏼👦🏼👦🏼👦🏼 😂
They live at my house, I have 5-sons, you wierdo.
Anime is the result of two atomic bombs
...and also proof that two were not enough
Oh dear, that burn was sick...
As a young man who has seen how prevalent psychedilic use is currently, I'd humbly rank it higher than playing with fire. The context in which many people use it now is at festivals or raves. It often leads to other sins like promiscuity and egaging with other vices and drugs. It's neurological effect is much greater than that of alcohol and very often tempts people to engage in behavior they otherwise wouldn't. Many people are not themselves when they take it and while I have used them a few times (thanfully with little to no effect) I will not return to them.
You quite literally open your mind to demons.
They are not addictive, should not be in this video
7:50 you clearly haven’t seen Attack on Titan!
He haven't seen anything actually
It sucks and endorses evil
I literally ends with Armin saying "we're going to hell together buddy" 😢

Those psychedelics make it easy for demons to possess you human mind is not created for that kind of deep introspection
I do all of these. Pray for me...
Salvation starts with you

im not even christian but this guy is so cool. coolest priest ever
im an atheist but i absolutely respect people like that, one thing we have in common is that addictions are bad
Totally agree with the anime. Some of the older stuff is masterpiece level art; the studio ghibli stuff, fist of the northstar, cowboy bebop. Akin to visiting a museum. But the slop they're churning out nowadays is just a waste of time just like you said. and not to mention some of the gross pedophilic stuff on one end of the anime spectrum. As christians we just need to have discernment, and elevate our tastes
Lol no. Fist of the north star and cowboy bebop are demonic brainrot garbage. "Masterpieces" *snort*
I do believe though that most anime fans do not watch the slop. They tune in for the big titles or even read to find better titles that have far more meaning than the slop the studios put out now to get an extra buck.
Agreed back then they used to have meaning even like stuff from like 2010 had decent stuff, This one boxing Anime( Don’t remember the name ) made me pursue boxing and working out til this day.
@@thecourierNCR don't kid yourself. FOTN and Cowboy Bebop are total garbage too. FOTN is sick and grotesque.
So some anime being gross ruins it all...but pedo priests shouldn't tarnish the whole faith.
Riiight...
Did not expect a tier list! Awesome 😂

I wouldn’t say I have a sex addiction but I’ve been involved with causal sex my whole life. I’m trying to accept that I should never have sex again unless I’m married.
I had a few partners and saw a literal demon inhabiting my then sexual partner, demon had a message and when I told it to her she was rolling her eyes as possessed.
I thought I would never want sex again outside of marriage but year and a half later I crave it almost as hard as before.
I am struggling to accept that as well despite not only having this experience but even reading sex magick books which advertise sex as ultimate gate to the spirit world which I believe them fully about after what I saw.
I want nothing to do with the spirit world but I want that sex hard and not just casually, I overindulged in it hours at the time and if I ever did it I would do it like this again, ironically that is what satanists advise you to do as means of contacting and inviting spirits into you.
Right now lack of access to it is saving me, if it was effortless I would probably do it but because I have to put in effort and I know it is destructive I just sit here and do nothing, luckily.
@@dragasinbrankovic call on Jesus whenever your craving he is always there for you ! ❤️
It’s hard for me to feel convicted about smoking because it simply doesn’t affect me the same way it does other people. Im extremely productive. At work, in the gym, hobbies. Smoking weed never puts me in the couch. It allows me to slow down and compartmentalize my thoughts as an over thinker. And I don’t even smoke weed I actually smoke wax. Concentrate. Much cleaner. Is God cursing my life because I smoke?
Such a drug affects everyone differently. It is a similar situation for me. Start speaking to your priest about this, and ensure you mention this.
Understanding and using drugs for reasons other than to just get the high, tends to be a productive reason.
God bless your journey 🙏 ☦️
You can switch to Nicotine gum
God made man, man made religion, religious people judge you for smoking weed. If you're not addicted and changing your life for the worse and you put God first, it's better for your mental to ignore the modern pharisees.
Id say stay away from the wax and concentrates. They are too strong and will fry your brain eventually. Go back to vaporising bud or hashish so you aren't exposing yourself to ridiculous doses and getting a tolerance. Eating it is also healthier because your liver does the work
Good for you that you are productive and weed doesn't sofa lock you. But the concentration is still not good
Lol. "It doesn't affect me like other people." Spoken like every true addict.
he WOULD say that overeating is at the bottom. typical. just look at him.
🤣 maybe check out my Instagram!
I'm not religious but, porn will definitely have a worse impact on you and your mental health than any amount of sex could ever have on you.
I don't see how porn can have a worse impact on you then alcohool, weed, vaping, etc There is no way
Sex with very lot,lot girls destroy your identity.
Porn is very little bit better.
Gamgling,Drugs,Sex>porn,alcohol>weed,vaping,smoking
You saw your past video on porn?
If you do it consistent you can be from normal sex to fuucking weird things.
@@andreidragomir5360as a porn addict, yes. Porn will fuck your brain up
@@andreidragomir5360 you usually need to go out and buy those stuff but porn is basically a few clicks away
I'll stick with the weed that helps with nerve damage.
save yourself
@@aguy6771 My nigga can you read? He is saving himself, from the nerve damage.
@@aguy6771Unless God takes away his pain, he has every right to use weed as medication for his pain.
@@aguy6771 lol
@@aguy6771 Weed can also treat the nausea caused by chemotherapy. It does have medical applications. So does morphine, though.
I smoke sometimes because it helps with arthritis pain and the other alternatives for that are more dangerous. (opioids, strong NSAIDS which are hard on your kidneys and liver).
