Don't ya know coffee is akin to heroin...

YES and it is even condemned along with alcohol, narcotic drugs and tea by Sister White. This is just something I have been going back and forth with for a long time. I do not drink it every day, just when I have to work.
Thanks for the admonition.

Why? Lol. Just kidding bro. I have 2 good size cups each morning. One level tablespoon sugar and a splash of the niller . I used to be able to stand a spoon up in it with 6 or 7 spoonsful. I enjoy my debotchery of the English language. It tickles me on the inside. I started doing that when I was about 7 watching Green Acres. From Zsa Zsa, not the hicks. Is there anyway to bypass the auto-correct? Sometimes it won't let you use the word you need. A real word. I have to replace it 3 times before it will take. You get the highlighted one in the center and it's going onto the screen no matter what! I can see making God upset when we ruin ourselves with booze and dope and much vice, but how would you preach to the English about their tea?

I've often thought about how the Adventist veggie only diet would fly with the Inuit...

I wondered about that too. I also thought about the people who live around the international date line with regard to the Sabbath issue.

I believe God will judge them based on their hearts and the situation they are in.

I'm condemning myself as well brother, although I do tend to drink decaf.

I am not trying to excuse my compromise, but I have been in many accidents. I went through the windshield of a pickup truck when I was 14 and have many broken bones. I have tried pain meds just to have my intestines destroyed. I tried marijuana for a while but the Lord cured me of that when I had serious hallucinations. Coffee, although a compromise has some anti inflammatory properties which help to keep the pain down during the winter when low pressure abounds and my broken bones scream at me. It also has no side effects. Anyway just thought I would share that. I know that the diet for those preparing for translation will be fruit and grains, and much fasting on top of that we must get ourselves ready for this.

The way to cure the auto-correct is the garbage can! Get a laptop!

I will say that those SDAs who are not living up to all the light required, when the NSL comes will have a hard time going through it, let alone be blessed of God. The NSL is the close of probation for the SDA church, and my heart yearns for those who have been sitting in the pews for generations and listening to the same old lullabies. Those who have advanced and have been walking in the light shining on their path are watchmen on the walls of Zion and MUST give the trumpet certain sound or their blood will be on our hands. The dumb dogs that refuse to bark will have more accountability to those who they could have rescues but did not.

Just a shot in the dark about your pain...

Acidity can contribute to join pain and muscle pain.

Excessive protein contributes to lower back pain and sciatica.

It may not help with everything, but might be worth it to look into.

I hear you. I have tried every natural remedy. During the winter I drink two glasses of water with the juice of one lemon, because of the low pressure and what it does to broken bones. Acidity is not really a problem with me. I am a vegetarian most of the time. I eat meat 3 times per year but fish once in a while. Other than that I am vegan. Have been vegan vegetarian off and on for 30 years except when my son died and I went back to the world for a few years drinking and trying to eat myself to death with horrible GMO meats. I almost succeeded. After a couple months of eating meat I was so inflamed I didn't go to the bathroom for days. I really was trying to eat myself to death. I got so sick, my heart started doing tricks, I could hardly walk. I fasted when the Lord finally got my attention again and lost 4 belt sizes in 1 month. I know this is TMI, but this testimony might help someone some day. I was poisoned with roundup in 1986 and for 8 years I was in and out of emergency rooms, natural health specialists. Agathta Thrash even stayed at our house for a few days and did what she could do. Back then I could only eat corn and millet and rice along with most fruits and veggies. I was a strict vegan then. Since then my life has been hell. trying to eat right without eating anything with roundup in it. ALL the roundup ready GMO products are sprayed with lots of roundup. Anyway after eight years of dietary hell I finally tried fever treatments, and sweated out the roundup toxins. I did sweats three or four times per week for 6 months. It raised my blood pressure but after that I was able to eat bread again. Today I have reactions to anything GMO. When them DARK act passed and they outlawed GMO labeling my health has been up and down. I keep a close eye on the class action law suits. They finally have one but you have to be diagnosed with some sort of lymphoma to join, and I am not there yet. Ad this to all the accidents I have been in and you have some idea of the hell my life has been both physically and mentally, losing my mother and six months later my oldest son. The Lord is all I have. I have tried to turn my back on Him only to miss Him so much that, like the prodigal He welcomed me with open arms back into the fold. I praise Him constantly despite my short comings, which He is seriously convicting me and giving power to overcome.

Good thread guys. I need a laptop or a notebook or something. All in time. Trying to figure a way to warrant web access above all of it. Even fooling around on here eats up some data, but YOU ALL ARE WORTH IT, bacuse there is learning, spreading truth and a comradery you can't put a price on. Glory be to the Most High!
With my hemochromatosis, another big word for being part Irish and our body tends to store iron, high protein carries excess iron right to our joints and liver. Coffee is even recommended , but black. Yuk! I've been training myself to slowly get to black. In fact, once I drink most of the first of two cups, I top it off w/o adding any more junk to it. It's bearable. Red meat makes me feel like a building fell on me the next day. Probably a good thing.

I prayed about plugging into the internet because of all the junk on it. After resisting the temptation I began to realize that the temptation was not temptation but conviction. As I went to the coffee shop to do my internet stuff and ended up spending about as much as I would for internet I decided to plug in. A laptop is essential, or even a desk top. I bought a real nice desk top off craigs list to 65.00. It came with a monitor with speakers built in, windows vista which could be upgraded to 7, 320 gig HD and 4 gigs ram. Deals like this are not uncommon in CL. When I use to buy and sell I did this stuff all the time. I would scour craigslist, the auction houses, garage/yard sales, made some good money at it wile I found super deals on the things I actually needed. I never pay full price for anything. the Lord also showed me that yes these forums are well worth the expenditure for internet.

As for the meat problem, that is great. I believe that the Lord is convicting all of us, who are preparing to become part of that number, to get our health in order, because there is much more to preaching and teaching. Jesus did more helping people than anything else. He healed peoples bodies so their minds would be open to the truth. We need to be an example of good health if we are to do that. My health is not bad in the summer, just in the winter with the weather all weird.

Yeah, Im pretty beat up too. Pins, plates. Name it. Never had an ear piercing. Blamed it on having so many holes from "worldly" events that piercings for art is for sissys. My knees, back and joints are what hurt me. Oh, forgot, I have a 44% disability in left arm from a minor disagreement. Plate and 8 screws where radius used to be. It's got a section of bone missing about the width of a 2x4. Lol. This was from an employee that I confronted about stealing from our family auto repair/machine shop who was my Pops brown noser. I told them for years about him and they thought he hung the moon. He was building rear ends on my time with my parts and delivering them at lunchtime. My folks never believed what I told them about every thieving weasel we had over the 35 years in business. I got a phonecall from one of my customers we traded with who ran a front end shop about a little whine (which is common in a new rear end with brand new ring n pinion gears) in the rear end he just built. Gotcha! When confronted, this 265 lb animal decided to pickup a 2x4 about four feet long against poor little me. I'm 6-3 @ 220 and quick like bunny. The darn fool threw the best lick I ever saw, then with one arm, I put a stomping on him that made the da n judge sick to look at the pictures. They ended up charging him with a class E felony that I had them to reduce to a misdemeanor and got him 25 days of picking up trash, in which I spent every single day driving behind him throwing beer cans out after he cleaned up a stretch, causing him to have to go back. That was the BEST 2 months of my life. It's cold, but it's fair I'd say. He started his back stabbing ways the first week he came to work for us and I figured 13 yrs were more than enough. It was worth the 4 surgeries to finally hear my old man say I was right. Sometimes justice comes at a high price.
Personally, I'm a yard sale/thrift store FREAK! Every thing I own or wear comes from one of the two, and I dress to the nines, btw. The only thing I spend big money on is footwear and helmets. Right now, I've only one pair of boots, one sandal and one pair deck shoes, but they are the best money can buy. I've got a big foot and bigger feet problems and good shoes are a must. I've stood on concrete 40 yrs and you can't skimp there. I have a man make me custom boots from molds of my feet, but affording it- well, it's been awhile. As far as helmets, you only buy a $50 helmet if you have a $50 head!
I've got this desk top here left over from my business and it's had more storage added internally. It's only a single core processor originally if that tells you how old it is. I've been gone from there 6 years and it was about 10 years old then. I only kept it because it has about 4000 pics of all my racing engines, parts, machine process and things like that I wanted to keep and I'd really like to write a book on real engine building technique. Those hotrod magazines are as misleading as an NIV and cost people loads of trashed engines due to their BS. All they are is a parts seller for the big companies. I've been lucky and actually written 11 articles in 7 different performance magazines over the years and been in a few engine building competitions that are "invite" only for the top 40 in the US. THAT is an honor.
Our amazing God blessed me with some amazing talent and I'm SO GLAD I'm beginning to finally use some of it for its intended purpose- HIS GLORY. While I wait on my next set of instruction, like you, I try to occupy, learn, share and make myself a better person. That's about all ya can do. Anything else is vanity IMO. PEACE be with you.
