The White-Washed Tomb

lifestory

 Have you ever really understood Jesus’ use of “white-washed tomb” when he refers to the Pharisees? I didn’t until August 2007 when Jesus revealed to me this is exactly what I had become. Oh, how it hurt to realize this about myself. This is the story of how I came to be. In so telling it to you, perhaps you can better understand Jesus’ description of the religious people, and maybe even admit to God, yourself, and other human beings you yourself as just such a tomb. This is the story of a sex-addict hidden deep within the “clean” walls of good Christian appearances, devoted family man, and career-oriented employee. Read moreRead more

My Story, by Bondservant

Banner

I grew up in Guthrie, Oklahoma. I remember having good times growing up; but, the bad seemed to far out weigh them. I had the Absent Father Wound. Because my father was a workaholic, he never came to church with us, and very rarely came on family vacations, or any of my sports outings. For many years of my life, this led me to search for my significance in work. Thus, work became my priority too. Read moreRead more

Early Beginnings

The sexuality in my family is a little vague but I do know that there is some dysfunction at least two generations deep. My Grandmother on my fathers side had slept with various men while married and otherwise. She left my biological grandfather for my adopted grandfather and she eventually left him for other men. I know that my Father was sexually active before meeting my mother. I know that they did not intend to have me as quickly as they did, I was not purposed by my earthly father. My Father supposedly was having multiple affairs on my mother. I suspect my mother ran to the arms of a man before the divorce was final. After the divorce and while he was single, my father had multiple girlfriends and sexual partners. Two years later he was married only to be divorced fifteen years later. I believe and understand that extra marital affairs were involved in this break up. Dad has been bouncing from one woman to another ever since. He has had multiple sex partners and has threatened marriage a couple of times. I believe dad is first a love addict and next a sex addict, while mixing in drinking and drug use. Read moreRead more

My Story by xpastor50s

Banner

I was raised in a very violent home with a father who was an extreme rageaholic and a mother who was an expert at guilt motivation. I lived in absolute terror of my father. There was no nurturing and no opportunity to work through the weekly horrors of my home. It was understood that what was going on in our family was not to be shared with anyone outside the home. As a small boy, I had no coping mechanism for what I was experiencing. It was too much for my tender emotions. So I just shut down emotionally and had very low self-esteem. From what I can gather, my dad cheated on my mom on several occasions while traveling for his work. I was caught up in what I believe to be generational sin but instead of allowing God to break the curse, I took it to the next level with a vengeance. Read moreRead more

My Story by RPVPilot

Banner

My first exposure to pornography that I recall was when I was left home to baby-sit my younger brothers. I began snooping around in my parents belongings and came across some hand written sexual stories they had hidden in their closet. That was the beginning. After that, every time I was left to care for my brothers I would snoop around to see if I could find more things-and I did. It seems my dad was always bringing home some book or magazine he had acquired at work.. No matter where he hid them, I found them. Read moreRead more
