I’m a man and my name is stan
The stash is Polish for stan

Like I said, if I met you in person, I would probably tell you because it would be a good testimony

But the Internet is very evil

Probably the one that’s hardest to live with is cooperating with a woman to have an abortion

That destroyed me

That to me is the worst so the rest is just stupid man, stuff involving drinking, women, and lots of money

I know Brother, such things that are common to man. I have done plenty that I am ashamed of. But a couple times I did make the right decisions! And I am soo glad now that I am walking with the Lord and recognize the consequences that would have been.

Polish huh?! Hehehe. I was married to a Polish girl for 26 years. Her mom was dumb polak but she was smart! That little girl could cook from the gravel in the driveway and make dinner out of it. She could cook anything. I love Polish food. I miss those cabbage rolls! Mmmm

I was just going by the MA

I definitely won’t forget you’re a man I don’t want to get punched in the nose

It's cool Brother. Just men talking, lol. That's what I like about Polish people, they're not all thin skinned and oh I take offense and all that crap. I'd argue with her dad in the morning and that night we were doing shots together! Nos's Strovia !! (something like that.)

I’ve heard every Polish joke in the world, and I loved everyone of them

Sometimes that broke the ice for me when I went on a job, they go. Oh my God not another Polak.

But I am half German also so that neutralized it

My father said I was conceived during the blitzkrieg , of course is an inside joke

It’s nice to have a conversation once in a while with a person on the Internet

I don’t come here trying to get people pissed off about Christianity. I’m just here to say what God is leading me to say.

Believe me, I am very busy with my grandkids matter-of-fact I’m a 70-year-old referee in soccer

However, I do feel the end times are just right around the corner probably a lot closer than most people think

Maybe I’m imagining that, but I won’t even buy a car or make a big purchase
Plus every day I’m hugging my grandkids and telling everybody I love them

So maybe it’s a good thing because I never was able to tell anybody. I love them.

That is so true because whenever I made a mistake I used to tell people what do you expect from a polack

Then they would laugh and forget about it
I had a very successful career because I didn’t let any of that get in my way. I just used it to my advantage.

Hell, if I was black, I would do the same thing

I think you're right. One of these days, (after the grid goes down and eventually comes back up) there wont be anything God centered online. Bibles will be illegal to possess. All those great teaching videos on You tube, gone. The rapture will happen at some point. And a lot of fence sitters who get left behind will need teaching material and bibles. SO I bought a case of Bibles. I also bought a 2 TB flash drive and have about 500 or more of good teaching videos on it. So come the day, all someone has to do is plug it in to a USB and it wont need to be online. And all my old my daily bread's and church literature. I toss it all into one box. Sort of a left behind box to help any family or people that, God wants to save and He will get it into whoever's hand that needs it.

Cause, I'll be gone! This house could be searched good and they couldnt find all the Bibles!

And rightly so Brother. Me and her dad almost came to blows in the early years. He almost hit me with a hammer! But I understand that, I was there for his daughter! After awhile it became apparent that, I was staying with her and treating her good, then we became good friends. So good that he asked me for my nice 44 mag! So good, that I bought him a brand new one instead. She loved it that I did that. I turned her family into a bunch of gun nuts, lol!

Damn, you sound like family
I’m not a gun nut
Probably the only one of my brothers that is not

Since I’m old, I prefer a shotgun with buckshot
And a 45 which is always been reliable for me, probably put 3000 rounds through it no jams

Yep, true until other states began legalizing and taxing it too. Because people would come from every state in the union and transport the Marijuana and THC cartridges across state lines.

Take a look at the WHOLE picture instead of a very myopic view.

How many farmers, dispensaries, and etc went out of business when Marijuana became prolific? Not to mention the billions of dollars in fines from citations for both farmers and dispensaries for not following the intentionally overly complicated laws. They didn't want to incarcerate....only fine people into poverty.

There's a lot more to this story than what you are telling.

But the gist is that the government wants you subservient, stoned, and completely dependent upon them. An "open air prison" of sorts. And in a constant stupor so you don't notice how bad things are.

You know, you might be right. Now that you mention it, I do recall hearing about, people with big money were coming in and swooping the market so to speak. That was right about the time that I moved away from Colorado I think. It makes sense that a lot of people would do that. Soo...it crashed their profits after that? Whoa.

I hope my male friend that you also realize that the rapture might be after the antichrist shows up
Actually, that is my position
Could I be wrong of course, so that’s why I always have a Plan B

Just the fact that you’re leaving all that for the lost
Warms my heart

I pray that God will use me if needed to stay behind and help the lost
I pray that God’s will be done

God gave me peace of mind
And I’m talking after two divorces lol
Both left me and I don’t blame them

That price of peace of mind
Means I will do anything God asked me to do
Including being the elect or a martyr

Hopefully like you said, when the lights go off we can still talk. Later
But I doubt it’s going to be the world that we think it’s going to be what I mean is
never like it was before

Once China and Taiwan go at it, I expect the lights to go out

That is OK with me I don’t mind change
Especially if the old way wasn’t working

As far as smoking Pot goes in Australia you can grow 2 plants in your own yard in ACT and SA. I do not agree with such as that, but the issue is reated to making such legal or illegal as far as the Government and Media peddle but i am for Licence ! you get a lic and then that make for responcible people in such regards ! no more toxic crap ?

With smoking fags they went down the stupid as stupid does way as well ! here in Australia as just one fag does cost over one dollar and it's taxed more every year ! but what i would do is reduce the toxic chemicals in all such, year by year in fact so you end up not addicted like an total idiot to such rubbish !
They did such with cars on the road with Laws to reduce harmfull pollution ? so why not with smoking Fags reduce the toxic year by year in a way that will help people to get off such a shocking habbit as smoking Fags is much more harded to do than people who have smoked Weed for years in fact !
My mate came off the weed easy as and he was an hour to hour weed smoker as well as smoking the Fags, but he said the hell of coming off the Fags was a real full on hardship deal for him even years after ! and he started smoking fags when he was 17yo and weed at 19yo.

I do not know why he wanted so much to smoke Fags, but i think in his mind he thought that such made him a man ? but he was 100% do not tell his dad that he smoked Fags ! His dad is very religious and mate would be big trouble if he knew ! then he started smokeing weed ! so i think that smoking Fags creats people to smoke Weed !

If you ever smoke Fags you will then move on to smoke weed ? ;) well maybe that could be true ?
Because if you never smoked a Fag then why would you ever smoke weed ? the stupidity of a smokeing habbit has not taken place has it ?

Missouri said that? Someone should show them then, lol. I lived in Colorado for 30 years and I dont remember it like that. At first they only approved medicinal marijuana (with a red card). Then the news said, they way way underestimated the incoming tax revenues, by like 68 billion dollars, something like that. So the next year they legalized it across the board. With your proper permits and so forth, lol.

I dont know about ER rooms being overrun with teenagers that were high, but I remember the newscasts about all of the excess revenue that they had collected according to their projections. They made so much money that they legalized it all the way. Another news agency also reported that, Colorado Springs has more weed Dispensaries than gas stations!
The article I got that quote from was older and prior to the voting of the bill in Missouri to legalize it in 2022. It was mainly to discourage a yes vote. They failed, it was legalized last year.
There are so many articles proving the detriment to society caused by recreational marijuana legalization.

Here's another article:

If you follow the trend, at the end of the road, there seems to be nothing good that comes from a frequent habit of recreational pot smoking.
Pastors and priests all speak negatively about it and discourage their flocks from indulging. It is toxic in many ways. (Intoxication). You are not in control of your faculties when intoxicated and hence the law against driving under the influence. Interesting word, influence.
The desire to seek an altered state of feeling euphoric and relaxed to the point of intoxication is not what God wants us to do imo. He wants our minds to be alert, aware, functioning normally. Getting high impares our mental faculties. Just because it is legal does not mean it is good for you.

Idk why, but it’s something that in some states that can legally be enjoyed. While overconsumption of anything harms you, moderation is the key. Taking care of responsibilities and the forefront of things, such as loving Yahweh and loving others and being at a job you like where you can succeed in whatever it may be and relaxing at the end of the day, is something in which Yahweh has given all people the ability and chance to do; except of course those whom he made mute, deaf, blind, or lame. They may have chances to do things; and some even arousing many like Helen Keller from Alabama who was blind and deaf; yet some how went on to make braille system? Or something another I believe. In the end, it seems we must put others before ourselves but that doesn’t mean we do love others as we love ours selves.

I’ve always enjoyed flower and tasting different types of flowers there are in the world, which is only so diverse as far as I can tell, with seeds that continue to become out of other life is still interesting to see, at least in my opinion.

Alabama has legal cannabis for people to use sold in head shops, these days and also as a medical marijuana if one can obtain the correct medical information they could get that instead.

Meth is also really bad out here as well, and this could be a helpful alternative. Of course I would use both, uppers and downers. However I can’t use meth anymore. It really does a number on oneself; even if you are able to “function” and overtime you lose more of old information you use to recall upon due to lack of study, and knowing the information repetitions.

That’s what reading the Bible out loud to oneself is a useful benefit, and in the end it leads us to, of course to respect and to love one another in faith towards Yahweh. Being humble and lowly.

not keeping up. This weekend, we went hiking in Hocking Hills in Ohio

Let me get this straight. Lake Erie is basically walking distance from you, and you went to south of Columbus for a hike?! To walk instead of sitting & fishing? That's very telling to me, lol. You're my kind of guy! That prolly over 300 miles, lol.

All my inlaws lived in Florida and had an 18 ft boat that they used to go out on the ocean fishing with. Want to know how many times I visited them from Colorado or even went fishing on their boat with them? Zero. I've never been on their boat! I am a mountain man! They knew it so never asked me I think.

The Bible seems to indicate that it’s ok to drink within moderation. Is it also ok to smoke weed (aka cannabis or marijuana) within moderation, legally of course?

Sure, do it wisely.

No.

The reason is... many.

One of the most obvious is that the psychoactive (THC) properties in Marijuana, alters the user's perception, thinking, behavior.
This is not of God., and to invite people to do it, is also not of God.

And, comparing "a little wine" with using Marijuana, is a severe false equivalency ..

I've heard about that synthetic marijuana stuff, it's showing up all over now. I havent ever tried it even one time. It scares me. You would trust that stuff? Braver than I am.

Spice, or synthetic marijuana will kill a man especially in a heighten place of anxiety. I’ve been very sick off the stuff while knowing it makes me sick. Spent about 1,500 in a little over or under what seemed like two months. Waking up, getting high, passing out (either with puking or not,) going to friends house when out, driving to go get, and then back, and back home and do the same process all over again waking up the next morning.

Alabama is selling authentic marijuana, be it indoor grown or outdoor grown, THCA, or CBD. Like in my town, Meth is very popular to some degree or another. With head shops able to sell a variety of different products in order to gain access to thc. It could help the process of someone getting off of meth. Rehab centers can be expensive, and nerve wracking, sometimes it’s a person who has to be the one to stop and try to not use a prior used product like myself which is meth. Marijuana or hemp as it’s more commonly referred as is a limited in a way that it can be used recreationally, or medically for oneself, as an option.

Of course relying and abiding in the Lord Yeshua, helps us to turn from what we may part take in if one chooses to give those things up. I don’t think God loves a meth head more than a person who may use weed. He loves them both equally; otherwise his sons death, means nothing.
