Commit Lozenges
Commits were what I used to get off my 35-year cigarette habit.  Granted, they were great for keeping me from getting withdrawals from my smoking habit, but they are even more addictive than the cigarettes were, and I became hooked on them even faster than I had on cigarettes in 1971!!!  Not only that, but because of my overuse of the Commits, my body, especially my left ankle, swelled tremendously, my heartbeat became irregular, etc. And it took me 2 weeks of agony to get all the nicotine out of my system where I could quit physically withdrawing from the Commits!!! DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT!!!

Monday's article, "Ezekiel 38 & the War In Lebanon" by Jack Kelley, will also be linked to the Daily Update page.
 

 

EXCERPT:

To many it seems like Israel's situation is more perilous than if they had just ignored the kidnapping of their soldiers.
