You can be above compulsory age????

Singapore. As well as not being allowed to chew gum, long hair on males was forbidden. If you wanted to stay and your hair in the border checks was considered too long, they had barbers at the airport ready and waiting. This was in the 60s and maybe into the 70s. Spitting in public was...

With all the focus on the physical or mental negative affects of drugs, we tend to overlook the more dangerous...the spiritual. I have found through experience that although God can wink at our ignorance, which for a time He did for me, there is a point that mind altering substances do...

I am far from being a supporter in any way of marijuana use. It is a spiritual millstone around the neck of users and blocks the holy Spirit from ministering. It is an absolute no no for any Christian to use. Period. For any reason. When I was in my late teens around 1970 I began using. I knew...

No, wasn't thinking of you at all personally. I was criticised by several for my tongue in cheek thread suggesting voting for Biden was to the church's advantage. Not many twigged to what I was actually saying. Most just jumped into the conversation with the knee jerk horrified shocked reaction...

The link I included was an article by an American to which reflects my views. I am essentially apolitical. I wouldn't vote for either side of i was American. I'm not taking anyone how to vote, but simply, since j the beginning even of Trump's administration, have been trying to show the dangers...

The context of the character of God says otherwise. He made everything good. Intoxicating wine is fermented... In other words rotten. It's gone off. Jesus did not make fermented alcoholic wine that contradicted every health principle in scripture.

All the weed I smoked was grown in the back yard. My friend and I had enough room for 16 plants all 6 foot high and trimmed so as not to peep over the fence at the neighbors. Naturally dried upside down in the shed, and cut up, packed on the kitchen table. I would then go to the local pub and...

Maybe like I said earlier... The young folk are born into a different world. The world today has matured... Grown up. It has evolved and it's now the almost perfect vehicle for Satan for propaganda in inducing people into his kingdom. Even the so called right-wing conservative Christianity of...

Love not the things of this world... KJV Genesis 1:11-12 11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so. 12 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding...

Politics and Religion: The Diabolical Union Almost Nobody Sees Coming

We can't serve two masters. Any addiction is a master. Politics is a master. Religion is a master. Christ must come first, and last, in everything.

God is love. Jesus was...is... The express image of the Father... The image of love. Nothing Jesus said, or did, was not an expression of that undying passionate selfless love. There could not have been frustration or impatience... That would have been selfish. The tone I see is a pleading...

Many older folk, even though we have experienced much in life, have been slow cooked over time to the point we are less sensitive to the issues of the age. And we simply ignore what we know will trap us. Like tik tok and Instagram etc etc. And the news we take with a grain of salt knowing much...

I'm glad you're having a good day. Except I wasn't trying to be funny. I meant what I said.

Something about the 70s strain? Or maybe that's a common side effect no-one wants to admit?

Our histories are inexorably linked. NZ was administered from Sydney in the early days. But the way history progressed and played out were very different, particularly in relation to the indigenous. And also in the way Christianity was embraced so much by Maori. But the political results and the...

Could be I understand far more than you. You are not infallible, although you speak like you are. You'd make a great pope. Well, good luck with that. You are welcome to remain on earth if that is your wish. After the last plagues you realise the earth and everything on it will be toast right...

In many cases yes. But for me, no. I had a great life. I was single, had no debts, an awesome car to get to my regular surf spots some of which were the best in NZ. I had a good job with great money and no mental issues. I was smoking because I could. To try and make a good life even better. It...

Yes.
