Secrets

Edward said:
I want to hear some good secrets. :popcorn

Maybe I do have a secret. I still smoke it sometimes. I tried to quit it twice because I just grew out of it, and both times I quit, I had a seizure within days.

First time, 1998. I'd heard it helped epileptics but didn't know whether to believe it or not. I had been seizure free for 17 years, then decided to quit the pot. I like being clear headed, lol. 3 days later, I had a seizure. Went back on medication and began smoking pot again (to help).

I remained seizure free for 11 more years...thought to myself, it was prolly a fluke, I want to quit the pot again, so I did. (Still on medication)...4 days later I had a seizure. No fluke. So I still smoke it a few times a week to keep some of it in my system.

Hey Edward,
Don't be so sad.
God put plants here for us to use. Did you ever hear of natural medicine? I'll bet you did.
It's okay for anything to be used for our benefit, if it is used with God's permission.
There are several bible verses regarding this.
Mathew 15:11, 18
Romans 14:13-14
Titus 1:15

:)

Wondering

Secrets.
We all got secrets.
Who wants to share a secret with us all?
I'll share a secret.

That avatar of mine, the Moose.
Well, I really don't look like that.
It's a disguise.
Behind those sunglasses is a totally different looking person.

That's my secret.
I thought it was something I could share with you all.

Do you have a secret?
What is it?

Tell us, you know you want to.

Matthew 5:15 - Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house.

The discipleship destroys the secrecy, or the secrecy destroys the discipleship.

God bless,
William
 
Phenylbarbitol, its a plant .it's the basis for the older anti seizure medicine.none of those cure epilepsy. Surgery can in some cases.

I hear ya' Sister. After having a seizure just days after having quit...twice, made it very clear that the medicinal aspect was true, so...I use it. As far as the spiritual goes...idk if I just don't have enough faith to shake it off...or if God is waiting to heal me at a better time which would bring more glory to Himself...or its just my thorn in the flesh to deal with or what..lol.

All I know is I have to drive, to work. I need that safety blanket that the mj provides.

I don't see any difference in that than popping pills for it also..
At least God created it, lol..it contains seeds..
My husband was the same way, he provided for his family, even working in dangerous conditions, up on lifts, ladders, way up in the air, doing commercial construction in sheet metal..
Wanted to be treated like everyone else..
I prayed for him everyday..
When he would run out of it, he would have a seizure.
Thus, his phenytoin medication, did not help on its own.
Spiritual, I wouldn't worry about it, it is a medical condition, as heart failure, you both have a bad connection, lol..

Thank you for sharing your secret. I have another secret and I feel shameful. I suffer from severe anxiety so I often have a few of beers to help me relax, I don't get drunk but it does help a little. I do wish I didn't. But after years and years of praying for healing it hasn't come.

Like you I wonder if it's my thorn in my flesh that will ultimately be healed when Jesus calls an end to time.

I think the problem is that fellow believers who do not suffer with issues frown upon the coping/helping mechanisms we have that are not considered normal per-se, like smoking pot/cigarettes or drinking a few beers and can frown upon us or we think they may do. Yet the truth is many believers suffer from issues but do other things, like drink copious amounts of coffee, eat lots of food, buy fancy stuff, spend money on things like makeup or aftershave and don't see that they are actually no different from me.

As for the spiritual side of things I think God sees the heart. He is greater than it all.
He knows our true thoughts/feelings/emotions.

Can you budge over behind the sofa and let me join you.
