When West Jet first took flight in 1996, the vibes were a bit different. People thought denim on denim was peak fashion, inline skates were everywhere, and two out of three women rocked, the Rachel. While those things stayed in the 90s, one thing that hasn't is that fuzzy feeling you get when WestJet welcomes you on board. Here's to WestJetting since 96. Travel back in time with us and actually travel with us at westjet.com slash 30 years. Oh, God, it's so good.

I was a fornicator. I was a pornography addict. And I used to get drunk. But not anymore. Now I've gone totally, like, there's no middle ground for these people that, like, find Jesus. There's not like, hey, I stopped watching, like, animal porn. But every now and then I will still dabble into a little J-O-I when I need, you know,

something to help me get going. And I will, uh, I'll have a glass of wine at night. It's got to be zero to a hundred. It can't just be like, you know, I'm going to kind of hang out. in the middle here and everything's going to be fine and like, hey, I fornicate, but not as often as I used to. And I only masturbate to hentai porn and I will occasionally drink an appletini. It's, I do none of this.

And if you do it, you're a piece of shit. I was a fornicator. I was a pornography addict. And I used to get drunk. Where are my gloves? Come on, heat. Winter is hard, but your groceries don't have to be. This winter, stay warm.

Tap the banner to order your groceries online at voila.ca. Enjoy in-store prices without leaving your home. You'll find the same regular prices online as in-store. Many promotions are available both in-store and online, though some may vary. Be that as it may. And I think that's the kind of people people hate. And then, of course, you become, not only are you, someone who now, like, I can't drink alcohol, I can't fornication, and I can't fucking, you know,

watch porn. Then you have to go out and be like, and why are we having gay pride night? I was a fornicator. I was a pornography addict. And I used to get drunk. See, he used to like to get drunk and screw, and now you can't. So you have to sit there and you have to judge everyone. And that's why a lot of people.

like religious people, even though most religious people aren't like that. Some religious people are somewhat judgmental, like middling judgmental. Like I've told you the story before about how our neighbor, my friend's neighbor, who was our buddy, like we played baseball and shit with his son. And his neighbor was a Jehovah's Witness. And one day he gave us a pamphlet. And the pamphlet was, and we were probably 12, 13. I forgot how old we were.

And my buddy's mom's super, like Catholic, I think. My parents didn't give a shit. Like my dad literally did not give a fuck about anything. I mean, he was just out there doing whatever he was doing. He did not give a shit. But the neighbor gives us these pamphlets. And the pamphlet was titled, questions that young people ask and answers that work.

And it was all questions about like jerking off and shit. It was like masturbation questions. And my buddy's mom was super pissed. I wonder if this pamphlets still exist. questions young people ask and answers that work. Let's see if it's real. Look, questions young people ask answers that work. J.W.org. They're still pimping this thing out, huh? Oh boy, the whole book, the whole pamphlets on here. Why did dad and mom split up?

How can I deal with my parents remarriage? How can I get along with my siblings? Am I ready to leave home? Why are we always arguing? Can I boost my self-confidence? Why not just end at all? Look, where's the jerk? Oh, sex. Here we go. Will sex improve our relationship?

Can I explain the Bible's view of homosexuality? Let's see. How can I protect myself from sexual predators? My journal, sex, morals, and love. Self-destructive behavior like binge drinking and smoking. How can I make worship of God enjoyable? Let's see. Let's go up to the sex stuff. Can I conquer the habit of masturbation?

The answer is no. Unless you're someone who's very godlike, like Jane Ivy. I was a fornicator. I was a pornography addict. And I used to get drunk. I began masturbating when I was eight years old. Later, I learned God's view of the matter. I felt terrible every time I gave in.

How could God love someone like me? I asked myself. That's from Luis. So this lovely Hispanic child here just wants God to forgive him for masturbating. But here are the questions. That's the question. And here's an answer that works. When you reach puberty, sexual desires can become particularly strong.

As a result, you might fall into a habit of masturbation. Many would say that's not a big deal. No one gets hurt, they argue. However, there's good reason to avoid the practice. The Apostle Paul wrote, deed and therefore your body members as respects sexual appetite. Masturbation does not deaden sexual appetite, but it fuels it. In addition, consider the following.

Oh, boy, there's more to consider here. What are your thoughts, Jaden? I was a fornicator. I was a pornography addict, and I used to get drunk. Masturbation instills attitudes that are totally self-centered. For example, when masturbating a person is immersed in his or her own body sensations, Not true. I hope the girl in the J-O-I video is feeling good, too, Jehovah. Masturbation causes one to view those of the opposite sex as mere objects or tools for self-gratification.

I disagree with that as well. I consider my own tool to be a tool of self-gratification. The selfish thinking that is instilled through the practice of masturbation can make satisfying sexual relations and marriage difficult to achieve. Yeah, that's why you go to the bathroom. and you crank one out in the shower, pal, geez, what are we doing here? Right, Jaden? I was a fornicator. I was a pornography addict, and I used to get drunk. Oh, here's some options. Rather than resort to masturbation to relieve pent-up sexual urges, strive to cultivate self-control. So, like, basically, if you want to crank one out, don't crank one out. To help you do that, the Bible recommends that you avoid circumstances

that might arouse you sexually in the first place. Well, what if you're always horny? There's nothing but horny material all over the place. No matter where you turn, everything's super horny. So what are you supposed to do? Still, what if you have become enslaved to the habit of masturbation? Perhaps you've tried to stop without success. It would be easy to conclude that you're a lost cause. Jaden, were you a lost cause?

I was a fornicator. I was a pornography addict. And I used to get drawn. How could you ever believe that a gentleman could be a lost cause if someone like Jaden, Ivy, could overcome all of his issues to become an enlightened bigot. I was a fornicator. I was a pornography addict.

And I used to get drawn. That said, we continue. The selfish thinking that is instilled through the practice of masturbation, okay, we did that one I'll rather. Ready? Rather than resort to masturbation, okay, we were reading that. Okay, here we go. Here, now we're back.

Perhaps you've tried to stop without success. It would be easy to conclude that you're a lost cause, that you're incapable of living up to God's standards. That's how a boy named Pedro viewed himself. Apparently, only Hispanic kids have a hard time jerking off. They jerk off too much and they feel guilt over jerking off. So Pedro and Luis, like, I enjoy the way the Jehovah's Witnesses work. They're like, listen, only young Hispanic boys with stereotypical Hispanic names jerk off and feel bad about it. When I relapsed, I felt terrible, he says. I thought that I could never atone for

what I had done. I found it hard to pray. That's not all you found hard. I was a fornicator. I was a pornography addict and I used to get drunk. I also like how, you know, we consider jerking off again to be relapsing. I had a jerk off relapse. So, um, guys, look, I fell off the wagon. Oh, what? Did you start drinking again? No, cranking it. I crank, I crank hog now. Like I had a relapse. I fell off the wagon. Oh, God, are you back to the needle again? Nope. Cranking hog. That's what I'm doing. If that's how you feel, take courage. Your case isn't hopeless. Many young people and adults have overcome the habit of masturbation and you can too. Dealing with guilt. As already noted, those who have fallen into the habit of masturbation are often plagued with guilt.

Without a doubt, being saddened in a godly way can give you the incentive to overcome the habit. Is this what breaking the habit by Lincoln Park is about? It's actually about jerking off. But excessive guilt can be counterproductive. It can make you feel so discouraged that you just want to give up the fight. So strive to put the matter into perspective. Masturbation is a form of uncleanness. It can make you a sense.

slave to various desires and pleasures. So it's a gateway. So apparently, jerking off is a gateway drug to, like, worse things. Like, one day you start with jerking off, then the next thing, you know, you're like trying to fuck a cow. So strive to put the matter into perspective, and it fosters unhealthy attitudes. At the same time, masturbation is not a form of gross sexual immorality, such as fornication. Jaden? I was a fornicator.

I was a pornography addict. And I used to get drunk. At the same time, it's not a form of gross sexual immortality such as fornication. If you have a problem with masturbation, you need not conclude that you have committed the unforgivable sin. The key is to resist the urge and never give up your fight. Never surrender! Like you see a guy like looking in the mirror. Like he's getting ready for a big fight and he has to tell himself.

You know, like when Rocky is looking at that picture of Drago in the mirror and Rocky, and then he like grabs it he like crumbles it up and shit like that's you but like looking at you know a picture of your hog and like you're tempted to jerk off but you're like no i will never give up the fight and that was an italicized font and with an exclamation point it is easy to become downhearted after a relapse not i i don't feel downhearted at all when i have a relapse when that occurs take the heart of words of Proverbs 2416. The righteous one may fall even seven times, and he will certainly get up. I like how we just pick the number seven, like it's just random. Like he could fall 10 times, 100 times. Nope, he will fall seven times. And he will certainly get up.

But the wicked ones will be made to stumble by calamity. A temporary setback does not make you a wicked person. So don't give up. Instead, analyze what led to the relapse and try to avoid repeating the same pattern. Well, I saw a Sabrina Carpenter reel pop up on my Instagram, and I decided to jerk off. Take time to meditate on God's love and mercy. The psalmist, David, who was no stranger to personal weakness, stated, as a father shows mercy to his sons, Jehovah has shown mercy to those fearing him. analyze your entertainment do you watch movies or tv programs or visit websites that are sexually stimulating well i mean that's really in the eye of the beholder really like miss rachel can be sexually stimulating and you don't just have to watch porn to get into something like you could see miss rachel

hopping and bopping around in her overalls and her ponytail and you're like hey i'm stimulated sexually the psalmist wisely prayed to god make my eyes pass on from seeing what is worthless I don't know, but I think some of that stuck porn is worthwhile. Force your mind to focus on other matters. A Christian name William advises before going to bed, read something related to spiritual things. It's very important that that last thought of the day be a spiritual one. Yeah, so it's always good. Let's read some of the Bible so we don't crank it.

Talk to someone about the problem. Yeah, that's what I'm going to do. Hey, I jerk off too much. What do I do? Hey, Jaden, can you help me? I was a fornicator. I was a pornography addict, and I used to get drunk. Now, look at me.

I don't play in the league anymore. I don't fornicate or get drunk, and I openly dislike gay people. I'm reformed. Shame might make it difficult for you to bring up the matter to a confidant, yet doing so can help you overcome the habit. That's what a Christian named David found. I talked privately with my father. I'll never forget what he said.

With a reassuring smile on his face, he said, You make me so proud of you. He knew what I had to go through to get to that point. No words could have lifted my spirits and determination more. So to celebrate, I grabbed some soap out of the bathroom and jerked off to field and stream. I was a fornicator. I was a pornography addict. And I used to get drunk.

With a reassuring smile on his face, he's like, oh, you little pud puller. My father then showed me a few scriptures to help me see that I was not too far gone, and then some more scriptures to be sure I understood the seriousness of my wrong course. He said to keep the slate clean until a certain time, and we would discuss it again. He told me not to let it crush me if I relapsed, just go a longer period. of time without giving in the next time. So it's okay. We need distance between your jerk sessions.

So if you're going to jerk off, maybe wait a month and then jerk off again. And then it's okay. Having someone else aware of my problem and helping me was the greatest benefit. Well, then you'd like J. I was a fornicator. I was a pornography addict. And I used to get drunk. Casual sex is no casual matter.

Find out why in the next chapter. I don't want to dig into that. I think learning about masturbation was enough for me today. But what have we learned here, kids? It's okay to relapse in your masturbation, but it's very important that if you're going to relapse in your masturbation, have time between jerk sessions. Don't just relapse and then relapse and then relapse.

It's okay to relapse, you know, monthly, semi-annually, quarterly. Have a quarterly relapse and jerking off. Right, Jaden? I was a fornicator. I was a pornography addict and I used to get drunk. All right. That's going to be the new name of the podcast.

I'm officially changing it to fornicator, pornography addict, and get drunk.
