One of the first things is to pray Avoid anything that could lead to sexual sin Jehovah wouldnt ask people to do somethng that they couldnt do can people change? the bible says that is what some of you were 1 John 3:19 Jehovah is there to help anyone who wants to become one of his citizens Idolitors The worship of anything or anyone other then Jehovah it is not limited to worshiping gods or goddesses. it is ANYTHING someone makes a improper atattachments.
