It has been a year since TrainedLogosmotion was last with us. In fact, it has been so long that I can no longer tag his profile properly using the @ command.
Whenever I hear the name TrainedLogosmotion, this is the image that comes to mind.
In my mind, TrainedLogosmotion is a young man who loves the Lord Jesus Christ above all else. He remains steadfast in his obedience to the Lord for all eternity, living according to the teachings of Jesus Christ. He was once an ordinary person, but his acceptance of Jesus transformed his life. Now, he stands at the forefront of the battle against the evils of porn/fap, lust, and other addictions.
Although he is no longer with us, his posts remain on this forum. In the future, his insights on battling sins and vices will continue to help those in need. Just like Pook, who once posted on SoSuave, and Madcow, who contributed to various weightlifting forums—though they have long stopped posting, their words still guide others and future generations. In this same way, TrainedLogosmotion will always be a beacon of hope for those struggling with addictions to immorality.
In case anyone thinks I’m merely joking or mad ranting, here are some enlightened posts by TrainedLogosmotion:
This is embarrassing for me even on an anonymous forum like this.
During my teenage and young adult years, I watched porn and other graphic images mainly as PMO materials.
Now that I'm older several different effects happened. I don't know why, but watching porn (especially women enjoying themselves) now gives me ASMR feeling, a sense of calmness and peace.
What is wrong with me, it looks that I am in a late stage terminal disease. Maybe my mind and soul is in a late stage deterioration. I know that I am wrong for watching pornographic materials, but I cannot stop chasing that...
This is a tough battle, in some ways harder than marriage or being an actual monk.
Many of us want chaste, trad wives. I don't think God will reward us with one without any concrete, properly directed efforts on our part to become 'clean'.
Not saying that's the only reason to do this of course, but I'm just highlighting one of the more common yearnings.
Some things that have helped me commit to monk mode celibacy, which I would like to share with you, and I think are helpful:
- Attend liturgy every single Sunday. No excuses. Also go to other events held at the church outside of...

I'd like to present a 90-day + Orthodox NOFAP spiritual real-life RPG game for anyone that would like to challenge themselves in a battle against the demon of lust.
Items you will need: an incense censer + incense, a pen/pencil, a paper calendar, lots of icons (print them out if you have to) + tape, & a permanent marker. Optional: Holy Water and Holy Oil to be used as needed and as you see fit.
(DISCLAIMER: This is for entertainment purposes only, and was merely a private creative writing exercise and plan I developed for myself but I've altered it to share it with you...
I'm deeply saddened by his departure from this forum. Here are some of my own posts from last year, so this isn't just a joke.
Why did TrainedLogosmotion's profile picture changed to that and his tag to "Agnostic"? If it was his own decision then I respect that.
But if the moderators changed it themselves due to TrainedLogosmotion's last few posts, then I want to appeal against the decision. (I know this similar thing happened in the past, It_Is_My_Time once got his tag changed to "Pagan" before later reverted back to "Protestant")
TrainedLogosmotion helped me several times during my NoFap/NoPorn journey. He knows the severity of being a Fap/Porn addict and offered me support and advice...
Something I predicted not too long (in one of the threads debating Patriot Front if I recall correctly) was that in near future that we were going to see some of the "internet Orthobros" who came to Orthodoxy in the last few years because they thought it was "based" and "red-pilled" would start falling away and I predicted specifically that these people would end up replacing Christianity with something that was going to a mix of Nordic paganism/Nietzschean/atheism. I think we just saw the first example of that on this very forum. In this specific case, I think there was also a bunch...
Out of my deep respect for TrainedLogosmotion, I will never call him an apostate—he is a true Christian in my eyes. A more suitable term might be "the dormition of TrainedLogosmotion", though despite its pleasant rhyme, the language feels too flowery. Instead, I will refer to him as being in a state of sleep or repose.
