I really like the word "apostatization" ... it definitely has legs .. I need to find a place to use it View attachment 206643
I coined the word, gave it a definition and a good friend that used to teach English in college in Peroria Illinois was going to submit it for me and try to get it in the dictionary.....

Aposatization ->>the act or process of leaving or opposing the truth of any given subject.

its crazy because i dont even have a desire to drink. its just that the sun doesnt rise if a finn doesnt drink on weekend. its like a duty to make sure the next day arrives.

but i really should move to milk this isnt worth it.
I got cured from drinking in April of 1986....I had a very large glass of Black Velvet on an empty stomach at 3 am and went to bed blind drunk.....I woke up at 11 and felt ok....when I stood up....straight to the porcelin throne and I puked and dry heaved for 2 days straight.....NEVER AGAIN......a few glasses of wine or champaign once in a while or a vodka orange when I fly....MODERATION.....hah

Paul lived a life of pain and suffering yet considered it easy

easy living comes from gratitude and being content no matter your circumstance
He did say the present sufferings are nothing compared to the eternal weight of glory associated with what he was doing and suffering for the cause of Christ.....

I would agree with yall if it wasnt for the large amounts of evidence against it.

I see the state of Christianity here and its COOKED. This is COMMON here where there is not much persecution for being a Christian, but RARE in China and many other countries where Christians are persecuted against.

So clearly COMFORT/IDLENESS breeds WEAKNESS. Don't care what anyone says, we got the DOCUMENTS right here. I am one of the losers here and im TRYING to become a winner. If there is ANYTHING i've learned is that other than salvation, NOTHING is guaranteed, you gotta get up and get going or you will never amount to anything in this life and come judgment seat of Christ you will be just another one of the LOSERS that never did nothing for nobody. I DONT WANNA BE THAT GUY. I've been that guy all my life already, ive wrecked my ENTIRE LIFE from the get go and im one of the biggest losers I know and I wanna become a WINNER instead and I've seen first hand: NOTHING is gonna happen unless I move on it.

The story goes from a cell with nothing but a matress in it to an apartment to finally getting a job and struggling with motivation to keep going, on top of that kicking bad habits and dealing with constant mental breakdowns so TELL ME AGAIN about how I should just be comfortable and chill. IF IM COMFORTABLE and chill, i'll be HOMELESS or doing LIFE. THREE STRIKES!

Im just sick of failing at life.
I would say there is balance....it ia true that persecution drove the Jerusalem church everywhere preaching the word, and Jesus learned to be obedient by the things he suffered, but the easy part is identified in resting in Christ while being sure of one's complete salvation........

I empathize with you, bro. Back in my younger, stupider days, I drank an entire bottle of Southern Comfort WITHOUT chasers. Was sick as a dog most of the night, sitting outside puking. That cured me of drinking ever again.. lol

You know why Godzilla is so mad all the time?
His name is really, Steve.



I like the first Godzilla movie made by an American studio. Starring, Matthew Broderick.
Turned out Godzilla was a girl. :giggle:
