remembering some old scifi stories where everyone was controlled and there was no discontent... The drugs do work: anti-depressants should be given to a million more Britons, largest ever review claims OOOOPPSSSS almost forgot...
All I know is Demerol pre surgery where awake makes me pretty damn chill. Like far out man. You are going to cut off my leg? Cool. go for it.
And here's me thinking that Jesus was always supposed to be the mind altering substance of choice? Sometimes medication can be appropriate to treat specific health issues...and sometimes not. I have found that life is better without reality altering substances, (including god beliefs). I can produce all of the feel good chemicals I desire, manufactured by my own body, without needing to drink, snort, inhale, inject, eat, or absorb them from external sources.....
With a prophecy that vague and broad, just about any event can be claimed as fulfillment.....to be meaningful a prediction needs to be specific and be fulfilled.... I predict that a very awakening shemozzle will happen one day...I guarantee it! See what I mean?
Dealing with only the symptom and not the cause of depression is wrong, especially using drugs that in fact will have chemical altering effects . Faith in God and the benefits of His influence in one's life is far different and not detrimental in any way , dealing with the cause of one's problems and enhancing ones life in so many ways. I've known personally hundreds of folk that had been freed from the drugs and behaviors they were addicted to and the lifestyles they had damaging themselves and those around them. The personal influence of the Holy Spirit Jesus provides to one "desperate" to know God, can provide peace in spite of circumstances even to the degree that in many their diseases vanish and their doctors are stupefied . two things missing in mankind is desperation and gratitude toward God . Of course I will die some day , but the fact of the matter is I am at peace with that, and living in God's will know that heaven is not a myth , and the rebellious will not ever be there . I may have come to God under hearsay when I was 7 years old , but through the years countess miracles and His intervention in my life and the lives of those around me prove Is love and care over me ,now 67 years old .
