This is a common urban legend that the psychotropic effect of LSD is such an extreme danger to human life that the seller could face charges of attempted murder or manslaughter.

Bad LSDeditA bad trip is easily caused by an expectation or fear of ill effects, which may later be blamed on bad acid. This legend was made famous at the 1. Woodstock festival, when concert goers were warned to stay away from the brown acid, which was allegedly bad. One possible reason people believe that they had bad acid could be because they were simply sold a much higher dose than usual, which is not uncommon due to the inherent lack of quality control of illicit drugs. The stronger the dose, the stronger and potentially more anxiety provoking the trip can get. However, drugs described as LSD in the 1. PCP, amphetamine, or other drugs that have quite different effects from LSD. There are now many research chemicals DOB1. C I,1. 2DOC,1. DOI,1. LSD before use, and thus can be easily confused with bad acid. Some of these, such as 2. I NBOMe are even potent enough for psychoactive doses to fit on blotter paper, and may occasionally be sold as LSD when the latter is scarce. The idea of adulterating blotter LSD with these chemicals, however, has no known basis in fact. Bananadine LSDeditThe false claim states that it is possible to synthesize LSD or some similar hallucinogenic drug called bananadine from banana peels or other common household foods and chemicals. The actual synthesis of LSD usually requires advanced knowledge and experience in organic chemistry and requires both expensive laboratory equipment and expensive, carefully controlled precursor chemicals. Originating from a recipe originally published as a hoax in the Berkeley Barb in March 1. Internet and were popular on BBSs well before the widespread availability of Internet access through William Powells The Anarchist Cookbook. This book claimed Musa sapientum Bananadine was a mild psychoactive drug found in banana peels. The slang terms mellow yellow and saffron for the color of the peels were borrowed from the 1. Donovan song, Mellow Yellow, perhaps because the phrase electrical banana is mentioned in one of the lines. According to The Rolling Stone Illustrated Encyclopedia of Rock and Roll, Donovan claimed he was actually referring to a banana shaped vibrator. The song itself, despite its psychedelic feel, was written about Donovans bout with hepatitis which causes jaundice. Blue star tattooseditOne popular legend is the blue star tattoo legend. This legend frequently surfaces in American elementary and middle schools in the form of a flyer that has been photocopied through many generations, which is distributed to parents by concerned school officials. It has also become popular on Internet mailing lists and websites. This legend states that a temporary lick and stick tattoo soaked in LSD and made in the form of a blue star, or of popular childrens cartoon characters, is being distributed to children in the area in order to get them addicted to LSD. The flyer lists an inaccurate description of the effects of LSD, some attribution typically to a well regarded hospital or a vaguely specified adviser to the president, and instructs parents to contact police if they come across the blue star tattoos. No actual cases of LSD distribution to children in this manner have ever been documented. LSD is not addictive, and it is unlikely to be abused by an unwitting user. Therefore, there is no plausible motivation for a drug dealer to distribute LSD in this manner. Legally insaneeditThere is an urban legend that a person who has used LSD more than seven times is automatically declared legally insane. The same claim is often suggested with large doses, the difference being that the person is considered psychotic only for the duration of the trip. An extension of this legend is that a person who does LSD more than X number of times is permanently disqualified from the military as a result of being legally insane, a version which was likely inspired by wishful thinking of drug using draft dodgers in the 1. However, no such law exists, at least not in the United States. A version of this legend was repeated as fact on TVs Dragnet series in 1. LSD before it was made illegal. The script described a shipment containing one pound of LSD tabs, enough to turn the entire population of Los Angeles into dangerous psychotics on the premise that one dose made a person legally insane due to the recurrence of completely unpredictable flashbacks throughout the users life after a single dose.

He said to them, Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature Mark 1. Ge Cell Fusion 6.0 Manual. While speaking to the Radio Bible Class staff at a chapel service, John De Vries of Bibles For India told what might have happened when Jesus entered heaven immediately following His ascension. The angels, rejoicing that Christs mission on earth had been completed, gathered to welcome Him home. They were eager to know who would have the privilege of proclaiming to the world the good news that Christ had been born, had lived, had died, and had risen from the dead to provide salvation from sin. In fact, the angels were hoping they themselves would be given the honor. So they were greatly disappointed and amazed when Jesus looked down to earth and pointed to the tiny group of followers He had just left behind. Those are the ones I want to be My witnesses, Jesus announced. I have given to them the commission to go into all the world and preach the gospel. They have experienced the thrill and reality of redemption from sin they are to be My messengersThe torch of the gospel, handed to those early followers of Christ, has been passed down through the generations until today it is in our hands. The responsibility of proclaiming that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners is ours to fulfill. Angels might long for the privilege of telling the world about Christ, but they have not experienced the joy of forgiveness and the hope of glory. Thats why the task has been entrusted to us. R. W.

Down the trails and along the riverbanks came the chilling drumbeat that warned of danger. The drums of the Congo are also used to alert the tribes when theres been a death, to announce a birth, or to call a meeting.

An insurance company sponsored a conference at its huge, national headquarters building in New York City. Agents from all over the country attended.

Our Source of Power by Warren WiersbeAnointing oil speaks of the presence and the working of the Holy Spirit in our lives. All believers have received the anointing of the Spirit 1 John 2 2. Christ to the Heavenly Father 2 Cor. The more we are like Jesus Christ in character and conduct, the more we please our Father and the more we please Him, the more He can bless and use us for His glory. I once heard Dr. A. W. Tozer say,If God were to take the Holy Spirit out of this world, much of what the church is doing would go right on and nobody would know the difference. We have so much in human resources available to the church today that we manage to serve the Lord without the unction of the Holy Spirit working in our lives. But is that what God wants While here on earth, Jesus lived His life and did His work through the anointing of the Holy Spirit Luke 4 1. If the spotless Son of God needed the Spirits power, how much more do we Do we dare pray in the energy of the flesh when the Spirit is present to assist us Rom. Eph. 2 1. 8 Do we try to witness for Christ without asking the Spirit to help us Acts 1 8 Can we fellowship with our Lord in His Word apart from the ministry of the Spirit of God Eph. Warren Wiersbe. Acts 1 8 F B Meyer. Ye shall be my witnesses. How different this function, entrusted to the apostles, to that assumed by the self styled priests of our time, who claim the power to repeat the sacrifice of Calvary, and to absolve the penitent from his sins The Master did not say that his followers were to become sacrificing priests, but witnesses to what He had done and would do. Looking to Jesus is the condition of witness bearing How else can we bear witness of Him As we behold Him we shall reflect Him and as we reflect Him we shall be changed into the same image from glory to glory, as by the Lord the Spirit 2 Corinthians 3 1. It will not involve strenuous effort to witness to Jesus, if we are living in fellowship with Him. Light is self revealing. In infinitesimal touches and expressions the light we are catching from Him will gleam forth, and men will unconsciously be led U believe in Him who has made us what we are. Witness bearing must spread through successive circles of influence like the circling wavelets from a stone flung into the midst of a calm mountain lake. Some think they could witness in the uttermost ends of the earth, but they neglect the Jerusalem of the home. Those who begin here will be led almost unconsciously forward to the Judaea of their relatives, and the Samaria of their near neighborhood, and so to the further boundary. For witnessing we have supreme power. If even your testimony is demanded, claim the power for the emergency. It is certainly at hand, and within reach. The hand of faith, the opened heart, may surely receive not a power, an attribute merely, but the Spirit, whose attribute of power certainly accompanies Him. Not It, but He. Meyer, F. B. Our Daily Homily. Acts 1 1. 5And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples Acts 1 1. Remorse deprives many Christians of the joy that should be theirs. A man in his middle years has withdrawn from the people in his church because he feels so bad about his past infidelitya sin that broke up his home. An elderly woman needs counseling from time to time because she cant forget an affair she had more than fifty years ago. A young woman sees a psychiatrist because she cant forgive herself for having had an abortion. Each of these people is now a Christian, but each is paralyzed at times by remorse over the past. If anyone ever had good reason for allowing the memory of a grievous sin to put him on the shelf, it was Peter. He had been such a coward. He had fled Gethsemane at Christs arrest, and then denied three times that he knew the Lord Jesus. Later, he felt so bad that he wept bitterly. Yet he did not allow his remorse over past failures to make him ineffective in his service for Christ.
