I am wondering why he didn’t try moving to Colorado, since marijuana is often regarded as a painkiller.

We’re told suicide is a mortal sin...

By whom?

The sane folks that justify Samson's??

Seriously, how does straight whiskey help with your pain?

Um...I’m NOT disagreeing with you! The idiots in my life MADE their choices.

Ever roll on the bathroom floor for hours in agony with either a kidney stone or a gall stone?

My first kidney stone was a doozy!

I'm glad it happened when it did, and not 18 hours sooner.

I would have been stuck in a slot canyon in Utah instead of camping along a fairly busy road near Durango.

I manage to flag down a car (before I had a cellphone) and they called the medics.

They diagnosed me on the spot and shot me with some morphine.

I was quite a happy camper when we rolled under the ER portico.

The Catholic Church. Do they justify Samson’s “suicide?”

I worked hospice for several years and I can't tell you how many patients had their medications stolen by family members who could care less if their loved one suffered as a result.

We had to count every pill that went into the home and the smart ones would remove just enough to make it look like the patient was getting the right amount for treatment. You get clued into the "game" when the caregiver starts calling multiple times due to the patient's uncontrolled pain.

Suicide is a mortal sin under the condition that the person knows that the act is a sin and, in his right mind and in control of his faculties, deliberately chooses it anyway,

Got any documentation to back up this assertion?

My only objection was when you said, "...Oxy. It’s awful stuff."

It is good to see that perhaps this is not what you meant.

FReegards!

I’m sure Obama’s tax on medical devices didn’t help research and development of imaging technology.

Why not?

Any taxes a business pays is just another payment like for nuts or bolts or magnetrons.

It ALL gets passed to the final purchaser.


And then when the medical facility USES it, the cost is passed to the patient.

There was one which consisted of 5 mg. of something which I do not remember combined with 400 mg. of acetaminophen actually killed pain

norco...the only thing that stopped my pain after extensive oral surgery; naproxen did nothing...

How many years does THC marijuana stay stable??

What pain drugs could be stored or buried for years until you need them in late life??

I know alcohol lasts forever.

Simply because a tax is tacked on to the final cost doesn’t mean the purchaser is willing to pay. They may choose to fix the equipment they already have, curtailing profits and therefore money for R&D.

You are correct. Question, do you think Peter actually believed what he had been told, or after the Resurrection,
visitations with Jesus, and after Pentecost of course, really get it.

In Revelations it speaks of Witnesses being given over to “the Deceiver”. To deny Christ himself to speak for you at that time when study clearly shows that “it will not be your words, but those given to you”. That is what I was thinking about, and it will be unforgivable. Off memory it says, “worry not what you will say, for I will give the words to you in that moment”. In short, it will be a moment of martyrdom that will be historic, or failure that can’t be recovered from...IMO.

Then again, to change or misrepresent the words. “Deliberate false teaching”.... the Pastors will be judged harshly.

Close, but no cigar; this tablet is a generic version of Vicodin, a mild narcotic painkiller containing not 5mg.of oxycodone, but hydrocodone. The “M” part of the imprint denotes the manufacturer, which is Milan. The identifier 357 denotes the 5mg.version, 358 the 7.5mg.version, and 360 is the 10mg.version.

Hi. Elsie. First of all, suicide is murder, and that means it's against the Lord's Command. It's one of those "Thou shalt nots" which is an exceptionless norm. It is written in Revelation 22:15 "For outside are dogs, and sorcerers, and fornicators, and murderers..."In context "outside" means those who do not enter the gates of Life.

Therefore they are suffering the consequences of unrepented Mortal sin.

If they did not now what they were doing, the Lords pleads their forgiveness: "Jesus said, 'Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing...'" (Luke 23:34)

So if you did not know,or were not in control of yourself, the personal guilt of sin is mitigated.

Questions?
