Question by Lorrie: My husband’s ex-wife moved their child out of our state (CA) to OK. Does he still have to pay child support?
This selfish drug-addict “B” is only interested in getting as much free money as possible without working for it. She has another daughter, “S” (from a previous marriage) whose three kids were taken away by CA because of her own drug addiction. “S” then moved with her b/f to Oklahoma. These kids were then given to B! It’s so obvious that she only wanted custody of them (and my husband’s daughter, “T”) so she could live on Welfare and Child Support. Now, almost three years later, she and T have moved to Oklahoma. We have tried on two separate occasions (Nov-Dec 2005 and July-Aug 2007) to move T in with us and change the custody order, but B has always had T brainwashed against us, telling her (just before the court appearance) she will kill herself if T decides to live with us. It was just her way of getting a “paid vacation”. The 2007 episode was at the time of our son’s birth, and I’m sure it was planned that way. T (then 14) was a complete BRAT both times, and I just know her mother told her to cause us as much stress as possible, and she sure delivered on that! Because of her screwed-up mother’s and half-sister’s influences, T has become totally uncontrollable. She has been in and out of school (and probably Juvenile Hall) for the past four years and I REALLY don’t see the point in allowing her around our now 2 1/2 year old son. My husband and I fight about this, because he has such a “guilt complex” about it. I know I’ve gone on and on, but I want to be understood, and there’s so much aggravation here.    Read more...

Drug addiction is a chronic and intense compulsion to gratify cravings inside brain by the recurring use of a substance despite the cost or consequences. It is a condition that involves compulsive drug use, craving and seeking, withdrawal, along with dysfunctional behavior. It has the ability to steal someone’s joyfulness, obliterate their purpose and testimony, as well as kill them given a long enough time table. And in contrast to many other diseases, it will never be entirely cured… but it can be arrested.

But Isn’t Taking Drugs a Choice…
Addiction is quite involved. Many cannot understand how and why other people end up addicted, and could have certain misconceptions about this disease. When an individual initially decides to take drugs, it is at that time undeniably a choice. Some test it out of curiosity while others are pushed into it as a result of social and economic conditions, but modern brain scanning technology (PET and SPECT scans) has revealed how the choice to take drugs soon dissipates and becomes a physical and psychological dependence wherein an individual incrementally loses his ability to “choose” to stop using due to a kind of brain damage that affects choice making.    Read more...

Question by ?JesusFreak?: Does the Bible state that Jesus drank fermented or un-fermented wine?
or does it just say he drank wine and that is that?

My MIL states that Jesus drank non-alcoholic wine, meaning just grape juice, but I’ve never see this for myself.
And she also stated that Jesus did not ever drink alcohol because he is perfect and knew no wrong.
As far as I’m concerned, I thought a “DRINK” was ok, that the consuming of many drinks that causes drunkenness and in some cases, consequences and further more, become an alcoholic which would be “an addiction” is what was so wrong about drinking.

The Bible doesnt state that Jesus drank wine and was stumbling all over the place drunk…so was it alcholic or not?
cool answers. and my MIL practically chewed me and hubbys head off when we said that it was alcholic wine.    Read more...
