Thanks for the chuckle!

Who's Jehovah and what did he witness?

[Nekaru_Infitima]

Ergh.. yes. Though if I'm honest we're not supposed to play given it's magic occult. And I can tell you none of the other sisters or brothers know I play, but at the end of the day it's fiction and between me and Jehovah. I suppose you also made that decision?

[Nekaru_Infitima]

That's strange. I'd get lectures about it being the occult, and violence if I told anyone. So I keep my games, and fictional interest to myself and a conscience matter.

[MilkieTea]

I feel really bad for you, Nekaru. I can't imagine hiding something I enjoy from people I love out of fear that they'd give me flak about it being something immoral, anymore at least.

I used to be in the WMSCOG cult and they pretty much had a similar mindset (anything Worldly TM, was to be renounced as it was probably satanic in some way. this meant music, tv shows, movies, etc were typically frowned upon unless they were safe cookie cutter things.) It was exhausting, I hope eventually your heart leads you to greener pastures.

Be who you are & just delight on playing the game.

Life’s too short for BS & its not doing any harm to anyone.

You’ll never know, we have alot of FFXIV players from all backgrounds & beliefs & they might just be enjoying the game as much as you.

After all we’re human.

Not here to persuade you to act against your family wishes but you be you & have peace with yourself & never feel pressure to feel ashamed of your beliefs & stay content with the game & other’s.

PS: I am a Christian by the way & I can relate to you in some ways. Just remember, you are you & what’s bad & harming is what comes out of your heart with conviction to yourself & others.

PSS: Just remember some of our folk’s mentality are solely from a general that were resistant to change & sadly cannot dare to look beyond the world except all being bad & negative. Our heavenly father taughts us otherwise, to be in peace & only you can bring the good & worst outcome of your life, not the world’s.

The OP said that it's not a family issue lol.

I used to raid with a JW. He was a super chill dude and we kept in touch after that static fell apart. Good times.
