#416 About a week ago I jacked off in my dorm room in EMR and busted that nut right out the window. Yippee Ki-Yay motherfucker.

#411 I want to make love with him with the red hair.

#415 I've struggled with something for years and only one person knows about it. I'm writing about it on here because I believe this site can be used constructively. So if you're reading this, I'm humbly asking for your prayer. I am a female and virgin, but I've still struggled with a form of masturbation/sexual stimulation using water in the shower. I used to do it all the time but the Lord has freed me from the continual control it had over me, but I still revert back to it sometimes when I'm lonely or stressed. To be honest, I don't know that I've found any solid convincing argument that stimulating yourself sexually to the point of orgasm is wrong. Obviously nothing in the Bible about that, but there are principles of course. Purity of heart, mind body, not living in the flesh or by its impulses and desires, finding gratification in God not in just fleshly pleasures of this world. And if you are being controlled by something other than God, whether it's sexual or food or money, you are not living life to the full and you're compromising your devotion to God. So I don't WANT to have this problem or temptation, but it is the one thing I have struggled with. I also don't want to become so accustomed to this form of arousal that I can't be aroused by my future husband or something, since I don't know so it worries me that I will affect our relationship and sex life. Like what if I've already messed it all up. So please pray for continued victory about this, because I don't want to go back to my old ways. It's been like 2 months praise God.

#414 There's a guy here who showed some interest in me and I found myself strangely attracted to him... but I fought the desire to flirt back because he's married and much older. For some reason I can't get him out of my head and I just want to tell him how I feel, but I know I'd be playing with fire and I don't want to be the reason for a married man to stumble.

#413 I’m an atheist and I’ve actually enjoyed ORU for the most part, which is pretty counterintuitive. We all know they have rules they probably should have gotten rid of in the 80s. I mean, I actually ended up sleeping with a girl for the first time when I was stuck at someone’s house overnight because of curfew. There are things that really bugged me. I didn’t like the fact that my sister seemed to have a much stricter experience, or that girls would literally hold a ruler up to her skirt if they thought it was too short, as if that’s what Jesus would do. Also, as an atheist it kind of sucked that I had to go to chapel, but it’s understandable since it was a Christian school. But I actually get pretty angry when people bash ORU around Tulsa. They have no idea what a good campus this is. Everyone tends to think it’s a bunch of stuck up ignorant rich kids, and I’ve encountered the opposite. Yeah, there’s always those hypocritically judgmental people I’ve met, but overall I’ve never in my life seen a campus that is as dedicated to helping others. It’s funny, because most of the people I work with are very anti-god and expect me to be the same since I’m not religious. I’ve heard them bash ORU more than once for being ignorant or selfish. Ironically, I have never seen any of them at a homeless shelter or doing anything except helping themselves. Meanwhile, ORU is raising tens of thousands towards building orphanages and sending out multiple teams to carry out selfless acts of helping children and providing healthcare. I know this is a weird post, but I just wanted to let you all know that you have someone out there standing up for you. I still read the Bible. I actually read Proverbs all the time. I get a lot of great advice out of that book, since it’s not just catered towards Christians. I guess you can say I live according to a lot of the Bible, but don’t believe in a God. I want to. I really wish there was an after-life and someone up there had some awesome "calling" for me, but I can’t get past the fact that God seemed so hateful one minute and loving the next, like Job’s whole family dying and getting replaced as if the others didn’t matter, or the plane crash that happened earlier last year, or the little miracle child in my church that died. Her parents waited sixteen years for a child. They finally had one, and she dropped dead of a heart condition six years later. I don’t understand why that happens. I feel like the Bible keeps contradicting itself, and I don’t understand why Jesus was okay with slavery and why women had to marry their rapists in Leviticus or blind/lame people couldn’t approach the throne room of God. It seems so messed up to me. Sorry for going into some long explanation, but I knew people would question why I don't believe in a higher power but like Christianity. It’s the benevolence that brings atheists to become interested in Christianity. It’s those selfless acts of feeding the hungry and just being insanely nice to people who hurt you that make me want to keep my Christian friends. Just remember atheists are not all bad. Not everyone is like my co-workers (I think they were just hurt by judgmental Christians after living in the Bible belt their whole lives). It’s just the crazy atheists that make the spotlight, getting offended at the simplest things. Please don’t assume we’re all like that. Just like I know that not all Christians tell others they’re going to hell if they don’t turn from their sins. You’re not all super right-winged people shoving pictures of dead fetuses in people’s faces or holding up “god hates fags” signs. I’m glad this page exists. “Hey I’m human and don’t think I’m better than anyone else” attracts people to your religion. I even showed it to some people at work (although I had to skip the last few random fights haha) to show that ORU has an LGBTq population, both liberals and conservatives, and an understanding and love towards people who aren’t perfect. The things that turn people away are putting a fish on your car but flipping someone off on the road (being an asshole, but proudly exclaiming you’re a Christian. Including people tweeting homophobic or racist things all the time that end up giving you all a bad name), being cocky enough to tell people they’re going to hell if they enjoyed having sex or smoking pot and didn’t repent (like these previous posts on here. Whoever you are, my co-workers would have had a field day if they saw your arguments), or avoiding any friendship with people who aren’t Christians or believe something different than you. But if you live how the character of Jesus did, selflessly and with love, I guarantee you will at least develop trust with other religions. Maybe you don’t care to develop these or gave up reading a long time ago, but I thought maybe my standpoint could help since people seem confused about what turns people away from Christianity. I know it’s weird that I still choose not to believe, and you all probably think I’m nuts. But I just wanted to tell you that I respect those of you who are truly selfless, loving, and unique. Those of you who don’t fight with me every time I mention homosexuality or other “controversial” issues, and see that just because I don’t believe in a god doesn’t mean I can’t make a difference or that my value as a person is less. There were a good fifteen people like that at ORU I could name who really changed my life and always encouraged me. Thank you.

#411 Whats the easiest way to cheat on the field test? If I dont score high enough, I fail. Failing HPE is a little ridiculous.

#410 I'm a minister. I'm GLTBQ friendly and supportive, and probably doing my first "gay marriage" this fall.

I was the liberal in the theology department, and I found in many ways for the Biblical Lituerature Department to be much more open minded than the "Liberal" Seminary I attended.

#MajorProps to DR Thimmel, Dr Thorpe, Dr Vance, Dr Shelton and the many others who gave me a kick ass education, and knowledge of scripture that serves me well to this day at my church. The foundation in Biblical Scholarship has served me so well, and yes even though I'm a "liberal" I give credit to my ORU Biblical Literature degree for so much of my success.

#409 Undergraduate and graduate school at ORU. Yes...Graduated twice.
Entrepreneur and employer. Employees well paid.
Still a Christian. Gives financially.
Not married. Not homosexual (not homophobic). Love a fun date.
Know how to relax and a few good jokes.
Not alone (Lots of other normally adjusted alumni)
Not laughing at next generation of ORU students.
