Pastor's aren't doctors, they just play them on the internet...

The doctors told me I was crazy, but after my initial treatment in the hospital, I never filled a prescription for the narcotics that they prescribed me over and over again.
They would write out the prescriptions and my wife would say, "You're wasting your ink. He will throw it away as soon as he gets home."
The doc would smile condescendingly and say, "Oh, he will fill it." But I didn't.
And after almost two years of suffering in faith, God healed me overnight. To Him be all the glory.

I rarely take even so much as an aspirin.
I've got to be in severe pain before I will down one.
I'm not saying its wrong, but I think it rarely helps to take that junk.

Coonskinner,
Are you saying that you preach against the use of prescription medicenes or do you only oppose the abuse and overuse of them?
Why did you feel it would be wrong to take pain medicene when your neck and back were broken? That does not seem reasonable to me. I am not trying to be contentious but that is my honest reaction.

NO not really laughing that they drug them. I was just saying that I felt like doing it myself. that is, when you're on a plane and there's a mother with 3 out of control kids screaming the entire flight. it's enough to make you go nuts if are going on No sleep and praying for a few hours of shut eye
