Whatever.. I stated to you clearly a page ago that was a long time ago.. I never said at all that this is a common happening so you can mark the sometimes out there! I made reference to doing it once. No I was not proud of it... never said I was.. I agree it is wrong but again I will not argue with you. I said ONCE...

DT .. for those who have suffered the ravages of alcoholism ... I can empathize ... however ... as long as there is no biblical prohibition on alcohol and I see it being used recreationally at feasts and parties IN THE BIBLE ... I have to say we're not being fair or objective.

My Father was a "recovering Alcoholic" and due to the selfism and glory of "higher power" and other psychobabble, I am not sure Dad was entirely right at the time of his untimely death 4 yrs ago.

Emotion on this one hits personally with me. My Grandfather was a drunk. Pure and simple. I am thankful I did not follow this tradition in my life.

Go on and turn another stone there Dan... you even stoop to think Apostolics can be drunkards and get away with it.

Disgusting.

Thank you BOOM.

For Dan to paint me as some sort of conservative whacko is hilarious.

I recommend you do.

Look Daniel, good Baptists have more morals than us.

Quite sad.

Maybe more than you! I for one said that happened once and nothing more! I happen to have a lot more morals then that and live the life to prove it. I have nothing in my walk that I would hide from anyone and I can proudly say I serve God and answer to him only and my pastor and husband and not YOU!

(And I must have missed the post where people were yucking it up about getting plastered.....)

You don't believe getting drunk is a sin?

And for you to paint me as some preacher who somehow has lost his "spiritual" compass is ??????

Hey, I've got an idea!

Let's all post about how much we used to toke, smoke, and inject!!!!!

I mean, hey, the bible doesn't prohibit that either.
