I know that there are other threads on this forum about this but some posts contradict one another. Is it really all that bad to laugh at a non explicit sexual joke? What about telling them?

In case some of you are wondering, I will be posting less on this forum but I just want to see what you all think about this.
 
That’s not really a case of scruples. Just a simple, straight forward question. I don’t appreciate people responding to others in attempt of shutting them up. This is a forum where people are allowed to post questions and receive answers catered towards the pursuit of a holy, Catholic life. But anyways, it’s not bad to laugh at an impure joke, your feelings and immediate reactions are not your fault. I’m not sure about non-explicit sexual jokes, but I tend to stay away from them as I actually suffer from scrupulosity. In my opinion, just stay away from it all together if you wanna be on the safe side. Plus, there are other jokes that are just as funny to listen to and tell. Don’t be afraid to ask any questions here. God bless.
 
Poster has a history of scrupulosity. He has been advised seeking answers here is not good for him mentally or spiritually. I have scrupulosity myself, so i fully agree with the first response.
 
Salutations,
If we aren’t aware what type of joke is being told. The ending comes & you now know what kind of joke is was. You laugh b/c it was humorous & out of embarrassment. It wasn’t planned. Not a sin. But we must tell jokester that we don’t share colorful jokes. Thank him.

Michael may have a problem w scrupulosity, but you have a thread for it now. Also, I can’t prove this but if the same question is asked repeatedly, isn’t there a point of saturation, even for ppl w scrupulosity? I would imagine they would substitute another issue, when one has a long list.SMILE. Also, if one can understand a concept of sin, such a person, could not list every action but categorize individual groups??
It could widen the minuscule concern to a broader concept.
I do feel a diary for cataloging their Questions & Answers. This means, they just have to refer to book, for repeated questions.
What would Jesus do? This helps me. If ppl realize Jesus would not break the 12 Commandments, etc, they can follow HIS PATTERN?? Just thinkin’.

It is a serious issue. Someone with that degree of scrupulosity should avoid CAF altogether. Any post could set him off into a spiral of self torture. It is that serious. He needs to seek help from therapy and direct his questions to an actual Priest. In person.
 
You don’t help a scrupulous person by indulging their questions. You’re just reinforcing their disorder. The OP has a long history of hyper-specific, clearly scrupulous questions. He needs a spiritual director and a mental health provider, not an Internet forum.

Xanthippe was right on the money, in my opinion.
 
@LillyFaith

If this was your average poster, then perhaps we might entertain answering this question. But this poster is a minor who has posted nearly exclusively regarding seriously debilitating scruples. Posting history matters.

Agreed.

@LillyFaith and @tweedlealice If someone posted a list of symptoms and asked for medical advice, would you answer them? I assume you would not, because you’d know it would be highly irresponsible to give uninformed advice on a serious matter. And even if you were a doctor, you would know that there are some things that would just have to be checked out in person by a professional.

Scrupulosity is not different. It is a serious spiritual crisis and often a mental health issue too. And to give our lay thoughts is irresponsible. Because while I’ve no doubrd and the sincerity of your desires to help the OP, attempts at answering his questions are detrimental. If you’re wrong, you’ve led him astray. And if you are right, you encourage him to ask on CAF again. And maybe that time he gets BAD advice. Not to mention a lack of direction from an exoerienced priest who can make real progress with helping his scruples or that of an experienced therapist who can make real progress at helping him get his life back.

To put it another way, giving a wrong answer is like taking a package to the dam wall that’s holding hus suffering back. If you answer it right, it’s like putting on a bandaid over a crack. But maybe the band aid isn’t large enough to do anything. And if it is, the pressure builds up behind it and creates a bigger hole when it breaks. Because what he needs is a priest and a therapist who can actually fix the dam.

@Michael-kaw Please stop torturing yourself by asking your questions here where it will only lead to more confusion and pain. Please seek a priest and ask his counsel so that you can start healing. I know you feel like asking here on CAF will help, but it won’t. I’ve read the posts of people who have dealt with Scrupulosity and are coming on the other side. One thing they all have in common is that their scruples got better when they finally stopped asking questions on CAF and spoke with a priest. So please. Speak to a priest.

I don’t want to seem offended by this or any other comments like it but I’d just like to inform you that I am not severely mentally challenged. Yes, sometimes I may have a tendency to be over scrupulous and I understand that posting here asking for advice isn’t a good idea and I should ask a priest rather than someone I don’t know very well but I don’t want ANY of you to think that I have an extreamily serious problem that needs therapy.

The OP is underage and has a history of asking sexual questions that many of us on the forum feel uncomfortable discussing with someone his age, as well as scrupulosity questions.
Also, it is harmful to respond to a person with scruples in any way other than XV did.
So kindly stop with your uninformed judgments. If you don’t appreciate something, too bad.

Just saying, not making any judgments on your case, but scrupulosity is not uncommonly linked to OCD which can require therapy. I don’t think anybody here is suggesting you are mentally challenged or anything like that.

Scrupules don’t equal mentally challenged.

Perhaps in real life, you are only “sometimes” scrupulous but on this forum, you are so badly scrupulous we are concerned for your mental health.

You do have a serious problem, you do need professional help. For starters, the advice is never good enough on here for you.

It’s not like I purposely commented here to attack someone. It’s very hard to not make “uninformed judgments.” I don’t spend a lot of time on this site so I don’t check out anyone’s previous posts, sorry. I had a different perspective at the time. I think understood the first time when @Xanthippe_Voorhees replied to me, though. I don’t see a need to get heated (if you were.) All it was, was a misunderstanding.
 
Oh Michael, who doesn’t need therapy now. But, a priest, experienced w scrupulosity, can work w you and guide you. Having someone you know, in life, is better than, asking ppl, you don’t know.
