I ain't qualifyed to judge or have an opinion beyond this-
If I had the jitters I'd take the pills.
Modern meds have come a long way from where they were just 10
years ago. I had a loved one who suffered a lifetime and today
there is no justifyible reason to live that way.

I ain't qualifyed to point my finger at "society" and tell folks what to
do.
There seems to be plenny willing, and my presence won't be missed.

Yup.. and the cure can come in the blink of an eye!
But when we tell depressed folks to *snap out of it..
or when we hear teens make fun of shoot'n up a school
sometimes our *judgment of a situation is all the warning
the world gets for a *Bloodbath..
When we question a suttle observation, we are doing the work
of the Lord to bring healing to the children.

I get it.. Professional medical attention is the tool of the
Anti-Christ to bring mind control by drugs to our youth... *Right?
I had some friends who had a ADD kid hang himself, and the rope busted,
and they didn't want to take him in to a Doc for a check!
*Questions would be raised!
I got a question.. what about that kid?

I ain't qualifyed to prescribe ritalin..
I'm not a Doc and don't play one on Rangernet..
I also am not one to Command Jesus to heal!
God has his own plan.
I have seen "Manic Depressed" people get prayed for and claim healing!
I've seen them refuse to be medicated and lose a great part of the
quality of life. Unless you are part of the *extreamist fringe..
We work with science and the medical community.
We do that in good faith and remain belevers in the healing point
of the Ranger emblem.
