123 Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 [quote]Plus, one of my grandmothers became an alcoholic after the death of my grandfather, so I have some bad memories of what alcohol can do to people when it all goes wrong. It's enough to scare you away from alcohol forever. Then I went to university and saw the way many students treated alcohol, getting drunk, stealing shopping trolleys, and throwing up all over the street. Once I slipped in a pool of vomit and fell over. I'm not even curious about alcohol now. I suppose it's a matter of personal choice and you have to listen to your own conscience. [/quote] May the the LORD bless you all in your journey and your grandmother's journey. It is truly a matter of choice and a pure examination of conscience. Amen.

scardella Posted January 8, 2007 Author Share Posted January 8, 2007 [quote name='GloriaIesusChristi' post='1158878' date='Jan 8 2007, 11:16 AM'] I feel that they might be missing out on a smashing great draft...However, these men and women will never have to deal with the tempations that those who do consume alcohol (responsbibly of course). Such is the same of the Buddhist mentality, which believes that overconsumption of alcohol that brings an inibriated state is not nessessary, and many drink to achieve that state. So, you don't want what you don't have and you don't have want you don't want, if you don't have alcohol you don't need drunkeness and if you don't have drunkeness you don't have alcohol. [/quote] The problem with that argument is that many people do not drink to get drunk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ironmonk Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Just a little tidbit of info for you all... Non-alcoholic juice did not exist until 1869 AD when Louis Pasteur created Pasteurization. Fruit actually starts fermentation on the vine... so if they didn't try to make wine with whatever fruit they had, then when they would put it into a skin it would turn to vinager or wine... so best thing to do was to shoot for wine. This is a great little fact to share with people who think Jesus drank juice. BTW: Go GATORS!!!! WOOO HOOO! BOO YEAH! God Bless, ironmonk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
