Secular schools teach that prohibition was a failure. What do most Christian schools teach about this?

Have you ever seen anyone dying from having ingested a large amount of mouthwash because they had no access to alcohol? I have.

The reason the liquor stores need to stay open is that if people are forced to detox quickly, many of them will need medical intervention, and this will stress the overburdened healthcare system. There has been a severe shortage of rehab beds for a log time. The mental health professions have...

There is so much going on that is bigger than human understanding and we try to wrestle what we see into something something simpler and more modern and more human-centric than things are.

If I understand, all of your son's family has the virus, but it did not spread to your home?

I am really enjoying my BBN lessons. I am going to continue with this through the holidays. Thanks again to everyone!

Reading through the prophets with McGee's Thru the Bible radio program has been life changing. If I had had access to this material when I was losing my faith, my life would have taken a very different path. I need to let that go, and understand that if God had wanted me to follow that path, he...

Thank you so much for typing that all out!!!!

I always rest that missionaries claim that the greatest growth and devotion is among people groups with the worst translations. Are there more than a handful of differences between the Cambridge and the Oxford? Do any of the differences have anything to do with full permission to reproduce...

I cross posted with you and Charles. Exactly what Charles said. Don't stop drawing. Drawing hones your ability to see, and your drawings are evidence of what you saw. Only you see and draw like you do.

Yes, you can do as well, and your work is super good. God sees your work differently than a capitalistic economy. God wants to see YOUR work that is a reflection of his creation. It has taken me time to see myself more as the Father sees me than as the other children see me. God is patient: he...

Please keep us updated. I am new here, and I am glad to meet you, now that you are recovered enough to get back online.

Scarlet O, I have no words, other than to reaffirm that I am here to listen and that I care and will continue to pray.

The problem that I have witnessed is that some churches are built on the assumption that lack of suffering is the reward of obeying the church. If the suffering person has been taught wrong, and then asks for clarification about these church beliefs during the suffering process, and is then told...

WOW!!!! Is your artwork just a hobby, or do you use your talent and skill beyond that in some way?

It has taken me awhile to understand how disempowering the educational system can be, when children are removed from their home-culture and educated exclusively by people from another culture that are raised up as superior in some way to the people of the child's home-culture. This can be a race...

When the secondary wounding process is viscous enough, and when the neglect and shunning of the person who needs assistance is extreme enough, they are crippled. If all that comes from the church, and secondary wounding process includes a direct attack on the person's faith, the suffering person...

Many of my trips to vacations spots were funerals. Washington DC was wild. I have never been in a high speed motorcade before or since. I have been to a lot of funerals. I have a relative that as a child wrote about a funeral when he was required to write an essay about a "social event". He...

I have never set sail on a full-sized cruise boat. I have worked on mini-cruise boats and a lobster boat, and I have accompanied relatives that were part of the entertainment on a ship in dock, or friends with crew I always flew. At times tickets were free. We flew a LOT during those times...
