I have decided to review our restrictions on posts in this forum, which generally fall into two (2) categories: Type I * There is an expectation that people posting here will engage in civil discussions. With the exception of one specific place where we have allowed a greater degree of freedom to post, we expect a level of civil discussion throughout this forum. * Other than the above, we do not have a civil code which people are expected to follow. * Violations of this type may be moved to a place where most people on this forum can not read them. They may be hidden from the view of most people reading the posts in this forum, but remain in view of a few. The thread may be locked, but all can still read. * This process allows a person to appeal the restriction and the offending post can be returned to the place where it was posted. * As a matter of policy, I do not edit the posts that another person has made. However, on occasion, when requested to edit a post, by the person who posted it, I have done so. * I do not normally insert a comment into the post of another person. However, I have done so a few times. On every time, I enclose my material in [ ]s and add my name, so that there is no confusion. * Please restrict the length of your posts to a reasonable level. I recently had to deal with a post that went for 25 typed pages. If you want to post at that length, get your own forum. Type II * These posts are totally removed. After they have been removed, no one is able to view them. They can not be restored to the place where they were posted. * I believe that women are the creation of God and good for us. However, if you post an unrestricted view of women, your post will be immediately totally removed. This forum is not a place for such. NOTE: In recent ties this has not been a problem. However, it was a problem some time in the past. * This is not a forum for you to sell your services. If you install roofs on homes in san Jose, California, do not post an ad for such here. [NOTE: We have had to deal with actual people who wanted to install a roof on your home.] In addition, do not place your announcement in the Theology section. (Yes this has happened.) NOTE: This is a current problem. If you want to sell your products, get your own forum.

The bottom line is tha the best of health occurs in the context of healthful living. This included eating a healthy diet, exercise and taking care of one's emotional and spiritual health. But it must be remembered that healthful living, sooner or later, will include teh services of physicians and medications. * Our bodies are not, in this life, programed to live forever. They are programed to eventually die. Death is simply a natural process of life. One might say that our bodies do wear out with age. * The services of our physicians will never keep us alive forever. That will only happen in eternity as a gift of God. * As a result of the natural process of aging, I have Age Related Macular Degeneration (ARMD). I receive regular care from clinical specialists in that condition. As part of that care, I take twice a day a proscribed vitamin pill that has been proven to help maintain the eyesight for people with that condition. In addition, I also take a proscribed medication that also is demonstrating an improvement in my eyesight. This medication is only administrated as needed. My eyesight is regularly tested. IF I need another dose of the medication, I am given it. If I do not need it, It is not administered. * W hen I see a new physician for the first time, I inform that doctor that I will only take a treatment/medicaiion of I can be convinced that such is necessary. I am only told that is a good approach to medicine. * Recently a physician recommended that I take a medication for a condition that had developed. I agreed to take it on a trial basis, ad administered in a very small dose. After a short period of time I informed the doctor that I no longer wished to take it. So, he agreed that I should stop. * A while back I fell and broke a bone in my left hand. As I met with the surgeon, I was informed that I had three options, starting with doing nothing and allowing the body to heal the fracture itself, and ending with a surgical reconstruction. I chose the surgery, and my hand was rebuilt very well. I have about 95% return to natural function. Much better than the other two options. *Natural remedies and healthful living are an important part of living healthfully. but, traditional clinical services are also a part of living the good life. NOTE: My age places me in the 8th decade of my life. My body today is not what it was in my 20s. But, I am as healthy as I am due to good living.

? I am with you ? Matt 28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

Or else what? Nothing. I apologize for misinforming people that you were no longer posting here. My bad.

?Drink it new with you ? Matt 26:29 But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom.

HCH: You amaze me. No matter how often you fail to proclaim truth, you respond with some kind of a response that also fails.

?Inherit the kingdom ? Matt 25:34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
