Sorry but your username doesn’t sound so Christian but more provocative.
There is nothing provocative about feminine women with strong emotions.

That's called "projection"


It reminds me of Jeremiah 20.9: "his word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not stay."

Sorry but your username sounds like a title of a Porn movie or some stripper, and no I'm not calling you a stripper or accusing you of pornography, just being honest and what your username actually makes me think of when I see it.

Sorry, I don't really know what to say except
your perception might be biased and going to be formulated off of previous experiences. I am not really responsible for that.

Just being honest and am not accusing you of pornography, or being a stripper, it's just the thought that pops into my head when I see the words fire and lace together, and no need to be sorry, you are just being honest as I am in my thoughts.

It's okay to have thoughts and ideas, but maybe not right to post sexually suggestive thoughts publicly against another Christian on a forum. It's rude and honestly makes me uncomfortable.

Having said that, I remember your post about the woman who committed adultery and was murdered.

I think that you might have serious issues with women and it would be responsible to take up with God.

I have no issues with women and I didn’t make sexualized statements against you, I posted that twice, and I’m not a deviant but fire and lace are highly suggestive of sexual immorality, and I didn’t mean to make you uncomfortable, in both my posts I stated I wasn’t accusing you but your username is highly suggestive of sexual matter, and no my mind is not in the gutter, I was just being honest, if honesty bothers you I can’t do anything about it.

As far as that lady who committed adultery and it caught up with her, as the old saying goes play with fire and you get burned, no pun intended. She never thought of her husband and kids who is now a widower and the kids motherless, because of her selfishness.

^that is considered sexual harassment right?
How am I sexually harassing anyone if I simply stated her username is highly suggestive? Fire and Lace, are you trying to start trouble for me because I don’t believe all that nonsense your friend goes on about? Like the secret government operations and Satanic Ritual Abuse, DID and MK Ultra?

Sorry lilygrace I’ve never had a problem with you but looks like you’re ceasing an opportunity to try and get me in trouble, when I’ve expressed the fact I’m not accusing anyone of anything but simply and honestly stating what the username sounds like to me, that is not harassment of any kind but simply stating what it sounds like to me, that is all no sexual accusations or harassment of any kind.

And if anyone is trying to quit smoking, Nicorette lozenges helped a lot.

to be honest, no one is trying to get you in trouble. anyone can be guilty of thinking sexual thoughts. i know i havent been around but i just would feel the same way if it were me. i care about her even though i havent really been around lately to get to know people still.
if you were going to get in trouble wouldnt you have by now?
i just feel your post makes hardly any sense tbh.

that thread has little to nothing to do with this thread? and you have posted in that thread.
so if you dont believe it why did you post in there?
i do not wish to go off topic but id rather people not post in that thread if they talk about it in disbelief in another one. it can feel like a betrayal.

The fire’s gone out, eh? That must be why you’re not smoking anymore.:p

Seriously, congratulations on kicking both smoking and vaping. Your lungs will thank you later.
honestly i am relieved at a course in my life that led me rules such as no phone, no cigarettes. i went somewhere for long term help. before that i was trying to vape. honestly i didnt get a chance to become addicted or anything but the thought of wanting to try it again somehow out of nowhere is interesting. it proves we arent invincible as we think sometimes.
i was vaping CBD.....

Yikes! You have some serious issues if you think of porn by looking at her screen name. She has shared why she chose that name. It should end there. If you're thinking porn, well... that's your personal issue. You need to get a handle on that with the Lord.

I’ve been three years smoke free, the best choice I made, to quit smoking, I was doubtful at first about the lozenges but they did help a lot and curved the nicotine urges I would get.

He lied, for one ...pretending to be supportive and even messaged me to ask questions as if he wants to know/learn more. That's deceptive. Not okay. I put such folks on ignore.

I started smoking LONG before I actually started walking with God. It was actually never my choice. I hated smoking. I don't want to get into that story too much. Basically, it was a bad situation and it was forced on me. I got addicted and then I quit, and then I didn't know how to cope with certain things and started again on my own at 19.

I quit again and again and again, and for six days at the beginning of this month, but without any emotional support besides a different forum - but it didn't give me any Christian support/comfort that I was kind of craving and then in real life there was zero emotional support. Actually it was the opposite and more of just constant criticism.

Now after being here I feel like I have a little more emotional support with dealing with certain things so I'm ready to try again.

I don't really have a point. Just wanted to share.
so, dunno if its been said yet or not? but there is no such thing, really, as “trying to quit smoking.” that amounts to “im not going to quit smoking, im rather going to struggle with it” fwiw.

And these days, so much proof is out there from survivors, to court cases, to news/science that proves and bears out survivor accounts, and even the little bits of information released by our own government ...one should be able to research for themselves and see these things have happened and do continue to happen. So when someone poses as a caring/supportive character and then begins to try to discount the reality of these things ... it's very suspect, bc it's nearly impossible to ignore the evidences.

Not always true. I know people who have quit, and @LadyofFireandLace has quit.

There is also Nicorrete gum for those that interested, but I prefer the lozenges, then there’s the nicotine patch also, I don’t how good those are as I never tried them.

It was the best decision I made, not only do cigarettes cause cancer but the prices have become ridiculous for a pack, plus it’s a nasty habit and being it’s banned in most places, it’s also inconvenient when you have to go outside in freezing weather to get your nicotine fix.
