I mean opium is "natural" but we dont want our nickers on it
Kratom isn't nearly as potent as opium but there is serious long term addiction potential
>addiction certainty
>addiction potential
Stay away from kratom, just take what is perscribed to you, maybe get a pill cutter and take half of the recommemded if the pain isnt to much.
Stay strong I got you in my prayers man @Jacsac
Kratom wont give you proper pain relief if you are getting a pain map you will end up spending more money on kratom then your perscription plus anyone shilling kratom is likely a chinese sleeper
I am taking halves already. The doctor had to reset needle entry multiple times after hitting hardware and bone grafts so yesterday was a real ass kicker. Thanks @Beemen
@Beemen >pill cutter
Did someone actually invent such a device?
@Barry N. Terdastein grandma needs pain relief but doesn't need to be zonked all day
@Beemen fuentesshowshalseyknife.jpg
@Beemen i understand there are very reasonable applications for this im just being a dickhead
naw I thought it was funny, you're good buddy @Barry N. Terdastein
Iv just moved to a new area and the only Catholic church around heres preacher is an Indian and the Deacon is Mexican. Half the services are also is spanish
Should i just go to a different denomination?
latin mass if it's there
Well your primary concern should be how orthodox the services are. Preferably you should try to find a TLM in your area, which can be searched for here: http://www.traditio.com/tradlib/masslat.pdf (just ignore the recommended vs not recommended indicators if you are not highly familiar with the differences between the various traditional groups).
If there is no TLM nearby then try to find a Mass with the most traditional liturgy.
Guys I'm going to give my first confession Saturday (being confirmed on the 31st) and I'm wondering exactly how i should confess? Given my whole life, etc it seems kind of difficult. I thought about making generalizations for a lot of it, but I'm not sure. Would appreciate some advice 🙏
Genuinely reflect on the worst things youve done. Recognize why they are wrong, and how they have affected you and the people around you. Then ask for forgiveness.
Do an examination of conscience, also don't be afraid to ask the priest for guidance
Remember, this is for you. It only goes as far as you push it
Feeling somewhat lighthearted this evening folks. Found out today that my praying was not in vane, and an acquaintance I’ve met over discord has converted from paganism.
@Thomas good to hear man. It seemed you were having a crisis there for a minute.
Yeah I was in a bit of a sinch.
Faith was waning.
Been on the precipice since I was like fourteen and my life wasn't boding too well. But it's stuff like that, that just as I'm about to fall, he reminds me why.
Amen. I started to turn back to God this last year and I feel like I am climbing Mt. Everest. I have prayed more in a day than I have in 5 years.
Didn't go to confession today 😦
I have break next week though so I'm going to go to confession and presanctified
Hey guys is this a good complete version of the bible?
sorry if thats a stupid question im just trying to get back to the religion. Iv always believed but i have kinda drifted in the last few years
The Douay-Rheims is the ideal, but yes this is the best edition if you want a more modern translation that is easier to read
Thanks
ill probably just get both
@Bret also a big problem that i have when i go to confession is there are somes sins that i have trouble to genuinely regret... if this is your case, do not worry and just tell it to the priest
@francois le francais thank you, I'll keep that in mind
Someone tell me, by Catholic standards, were the founders heretical?
Should all nations be beholden to the supreme and holy authority of the Pope?
And if they should, should they have any sovereignty over themselves or should a portion of it be voided to the Pope?
maybe If the pope had our best interests in mind
