This is not recommended, but in the culture where they live there seemed to be no alternatives. At times, I felt we would lose our friendship, but they stayed in our house in Lima and we spent three to four hours a day talking and praying together. After the week together, they returned to their home and we resumed the e-mails and phone calls. Ryan felt more tempted than ever, and it seemed that all the theories we were applying werent working. In the part of South America where Ryan lives, there are no Christian counselors, and I doubt that a secular psychologist would pay too much attention to Ryans situation. With the theories not working, he returned to Lima. He seemed to be experiencing a kind of withdrawal, like withdrawal from caffeine or other drugs. I had seen reactions like that in friends who had stopped smoking cold turkey. To confirm this, we tried an experiment. We sat at my computer, and together we accessed the Internet. Without his knowledge, I had pre-configured the browser so that it would not be possible for him to see the pictures.
