1 timothy 5:23 go ahead and drink a little wine, for instance; it's good for your digestion, good medicine for what ails you.
the message bible.
i've recently begun drinking a little wine each night before i go to sleep.. the wine is a blueberry variety that i bought from a neighboring vineyard.. it has helped my stomach problems a lot.. syl.
Fat Bastard ? I bet it's bottled for the sole american market, never heard of it overhere.
I also feel that somehow wine is like a medicine but I experience almost every day that having it before going to bed causes awakening after a couple of sleep hours, like the above link points it out.
I see if I can find more of them later, must go to bed now (2 a.m). Good night ya'll.
About ten days ago, I bought a deep frozen frangipane pastry (including a hidden charm), which we customarily have overhere to celebrate Epiphany (visit of the three kings to baby Jesus). Mum wasn't at home and Son set out to put it carefully in the oven, then he went up into his room. When the pastry was nice and crispy, Daughter and I had a portion of it without telling Son, left a very small portion in the oven and hid the rest of it. when Son came down, his mouth watering in expectation, he couldn't believe his eyes at seing what was left of the pastry, all the more so when I told him Mom would certainly love to have a share too. He stewed in his wild anger for a minute before we showed him the main part of the pastry.
Actually, making a little joke out of the situation came up to my mind just after the shower, I hadn't planned it and didn't let her think, before the shower, that she was cause for the smell.
about 15 years ago, as the whole family (Mum, Dad, son 5 and daughter 4), we were staying in a fairly cheap hotel which would smell stuffy and cold smoke, and my little daughter would keep whining : it stinks, it stinks. After a while, we had her have a shower and I asked her : is it still stinking ? She said No. So you see, I replied, after you had that shower, doesn't smell so much. She didn't say anything, then after a few seconds she realized what I had said and implied (poor thing, she had obviously nothing to do with that smell) and all of a sudden she burst into cries and loud protestation. To this day we all have a good laugh remembering this episode.
my wife and i had stopped going to meetings in april; in december of that year we travelled interstate and stayed with the witness couple who had "brought me into the truth".
we had already told them we'd quit meetings and there was a certain tension in the air for the first couple of days until sunday morning, when, over a breakfast that eventually lasted several hours, they began to interrogate us about why we had left.
had we been stumbled?
The last time 2 elders came to my place, that was about one year ago, one of them asked me that question very shortly after I had started the conversation about being sensible and rational in our beliefs, he obviously had no time to waste in such hair splitting.
My answer was something like : " It depends, if they say that there is one unique god whose name is Jehovah, or Yaweh, in the Bible, I will think that they conform with the Bible. Now, when the president says that Behemoth and Leviathan are locomotives, I think that he is a fantaisist uttering not only errors but nonsense. That's a very serious matter because, can you cite an example of a nonsensical teaching in the Bible ?" The elder replied that there's no nonsense in the Bible but the WTS is Jah's organization despite occasional nonsense told by its leaders because you see, they are just humans. Hopeless.
They never came again and I'm not DFed, they don't seem to bother in the least, so far.
