What annoys me -

In response to one of the ministers on T.V. Christian services, when he said that Christians should not drink alcohol at all.

Please don't get me wrong. I believe also that there is a lot of evil in alcohol when abused.

But Jesus drank wine.
Last Supper: Where Jesus says basically next time I drink wine with you will be in heaven.
Matthew 26:20-29
Mark 14:17-25
Luke 22:14-23
John 13:18-30

Deuteronomy 7:13
Deuteronomy 14:26
Isaiah 25:6
Judges 9:13

In fact, the word 'wine' occurs 37 times in the New Testament and is only used negatively (in association with drunkenness and excess) on 7 of these occasions!

Luke 7:33-34 - This passage says John the Baptist did not drink but Jesus did.

A few thank yous and referrals for a victorian wedding

WHITE-SATIN-CORSET
Great corsets - strong and comfortable and won't fall to bits after a bit of wearing. And the best part a third of the cost of other quality corsets.
