CM is gettiing more and more like Raoul every day. At first he understood my MJ argument to be Biblical and supported my interpretation:

I hope that is calumny and not true.

And every thing that moveth and liveth shall be meat for you: even as the green herbs have I delivered them all to you:

Every green herb was created good by God.  That's a given.  I won't argue against that point.  But I wouldn't use the above passage from Scripture as justification for getting high.  I can possibly see it as justification for using the dried leaves sparingly as a spice or something.

I mean, would you smoke basil or bay leaves?  No.  Cilantro or chives?  Dill?  Mint?  Oregano?  Parsley?  Rosemary?  Sage, tarragon or thyme?  I didn't think so roscoe.

So if you use your marijuana in the SAME QUANTITY and in the SAME WAY that you use the other GREEN HERBS and not like some  :bob-marley:, then not only will you never get high, but you will be consistent, by using your green herb in a manner that green herbs have always been used.

I don't think anyone would have a right to condemn such usage since THAT does indeed seem to follow from Scripture.  Pot smoking on the other hand, certainly does NOT.

Good evening.

...and I am trying to teach myself how to play the alto recorder at the moment.

That would account for the clef in your avatar at the moment, then, Vladimir. :)

Does anyone else play anything or sing?

Folk/classical guitar, but I'm rather out of practice.

 We have an instrument in our culture, which is called Tombak. It is like a drum, but you have to use your hands and beat it. It is a favorite thing for naughy children, he who has it should hide it from kids! Nowadays it is considered a very classless instrument.

My country uses the same instrument too. My brother has one.

We are all still waiting for a Church authority to be cited re: the prohibition of MJ. It never has and never will be found by the Jansenist heretics that inhabit this Forum.

raoul obsesses over NFP/Sex. CM cannot discuss almost anything without debating SV, and you my friend are rather tiring in your hurled accusations that we all are Jansenists!

Jansenism is basically a form of Catholic calvinism and that particualr prot school of thought is repulsive to me, please see my other posts, inc the one I posted today in the general section about the scottish island.

if you do not like the forum, that is your affair....you can quit though with calumny against the rest of us who are here to debate, discuss and learn.perhaps a forum of your own, Pot Smoker Catholic Who Think They are not Slaves to the NWO (yet pot is used to control masses too) or the site MK Ultra and Not Knowing it, But Loving It...

I find many of your posts fine, but the accusation we are all broading Jansenits is just tiring to me.....anyone else??

I played piano from third till fifth grade and bass from sixth grade until the end of high school.

I find many of your posts fine, but the accusation we are all broading Jansenits is just tiring to me.....anyone else??

Same. Many people have this mistaken idea that Jansenism was a hard-right movement; it was not, it was more mixed, at least that's what it became. For instance, early feminist tendencies could be found within the Jansenists.

In reference to another point you made Belloc, I'm not so sure that Jansenism should be called Catholic Calvinism. Yes, these two heterdox beliefs did have many similarities when it comes to soteriology, but there are also some major differences, i.e. frequent communion.

 :applause:

I play the piano and the organ well, and I am trying to teach myself how to play the alto recorder at the moment. I'm also trying to find someone to teach me how to play a Vietnamese instrument that is sort of like a violin with only one string. I think that I may try to teach myself guitar as well. I've also played a real harpsichord once!  

Does anyone else play anything or sing?

only one string!? how many different notes can it play?
I play the keyboard as well Spouse, and I like to make up stuff sometimes too. The most complicated song I know is Moonlight Sonata. I don't practice all that much anymore. I can play one tune on the bass guitar, but only because my friend showed me. I also bought a metal flute for 12 bucks at a rummage sale. I've learned the basic fingering, but I haven't taken the time to learn any songs yet. I should learn yankee doodle or something, lol.
