The way I see it, at most those drugs help some people function in more socially acceptable ways. I don't think they are capable of giving people real feelings of Love joy peace ext.

Prescription Drugs and the Fruitage of the Spirit?
by Luther bertrand indoes anyone have a meaningful response to the following question/points: the fruitage of the spirit found at gal.
5:22: love, joy, peace, long-suffering, mildness, kindness.
goodness, faith and self-control, in many way for many people can be increased through the use of anti-anxiety, anti-depressants, and a host of other pharma's.

There are two facts at play here...
First it seems as though so much of the craziness on the world stage is coming from Muslims.
And secondly we all know most Muslims are not terrorists. They just want to live a peaceful life with a different culture and religion than our own.
I will be honest here... It is very difficult to reconcile those two thoughts in my head. It is hard not to be biased against the whole religion. How do we tell the two groups apart?

sloppyjoe... the point is that guy had a choice. He did what he felt was best for himself at the time. It also helps to confirm that most concealed carry holders are very responsible and don't just go off half caulked. Apparently no one else there had a choice. Their only option was to hide and hope for the best.
If you had to go through the same ordeal... would you honestly prefer NOT to be armed?

I can imagine a world with less guns as being a safer place.
However I think the push towards gun laws are misguided. I don't think they will accomplish what the proponents expect.
Making something illegal =/= getting rid of it entirely.(sometimes it has the opposite effect)

sloppyjoe2 there is absolutely no evidence that the assualt weapon ban was effective. Non at all.
It was a political solution to get rid of scary looking black military style weapons. It had nothing to do with how guns functioned... just how they looked.

Folks this case has nothing to do with gun control laws... If they where willing to take the risk of manufacturing explosives... gun control laws would not have stopped them.
Why don't gun control laws keep people in France safe?

For mental health issues of course there is a strong psychological component. However there usually is a very strong physiological component. Diet is vital for good mental health.
Many people find great relief by significantly increasing their cholesterol intake. The brain NEEDS cholesterol.
Carbs cause mood and hormone shifts in your body. If you are prone to mental heath issues this can greatly increase it. Fats give you lasting energy. For me I deal with migraine headaches. If I can keep myself in a ketonic state... I feel MUCH MUCH better. The way to do this first significantly reduce your food intake. It sounds like you might already be doing this through no fault of your own. The next important thing is to greatly increase your fat intake.(PLEASE if you already are not eating much don't decrease it.. just increase the fats you eat)
Here is just the first article that I could find that backs up what I am saying
Another extremely important nutritional component is trace minerals. They are vital for nerve function. Our diets are probably deficient in them. I take pure unadulterated sea salt for its trace minerals. If this doesn't sound like a good idea look for a good supplement that includes the 90+ minerals important to our bodies.

Intersting Visit from our local JWs yesturday

I want to comment on this from a slightly different angle but nontheless related. That os the jw inherent mindset of absolute roght and prilidge to be at your door.-Morpheous
While I did say it had little to do with the cult.... this factor does matter. If I had ran into these people in public with there strong fragrance, I would have considered it in no way rude, I would have just tried to avoid them. Since they insisted on coming to my door, THAT is what made it rude
If the JW was stinking of body odour you would have reason to complain.-cofty
Cofty it is obvious you have no idea what you are talking about on this issue. You need to count your blessings! I react to body odor just like the next guy... but that reaction is NOTHING like the reaction to certain strong chemical fragrances. You need need to thank your higher power that you have never experienced what I have. If you could understand even the slightest bit of what people like I experience.... you would show much more compassion.
