[@LirowHumtsoe]

NLTP Act came into force in 1989, Right? 1. How many families have so far benefitted from this Act? 2. How many drinkers have quit drinking because this Act? 3. Has NBCC being a pressure group the right to threaten the government of the day to go for hunger strike if this Act is lifted? 4. How long should the NBCC to realise that even the most advanced countries have tried prohibition and failed miserably? 5. Should the government still run under the whims and fancies of one pressure group? 6. Could the NBCC stop or convince even a single drinker to quit alcohol after the Prohibition Act was passed? 7. Does staying away from drinking alcohol make anyone a good Christian? 8. When is the NBCC going to realise if this Act is serving its real purpose? May the good sense prevail in our naga society

[@elithungyanthan8922]

Case 1. During our childhood days we had one alcoholic uncle alias Captain Haddock. He taught us to humble, love every one around us especially the poor and to become worthy to society when we grow up. He was a cheerful giver and an upright person despite his drinking habits. He died early, may be because of extra consumption substandard liquor. Case 2. Another uncle who religiously goes to church entertained us with gossips, equal divison of family properties, plans for foreign trips (never materialised) blah... which will be followed by loudest prayer before leaving. His wife died, re-married after 60+ and living not so contented life (as per our observation). Conclusion: An alcoholic person could become a role model of Moral values while, a teetotaller can also be a characterless person. However, peaceful and mutual co-existence is essential along with the personal liberty of food habits ✌🏻.

I also want them to drink unadulterated liquor at a good price which is currently not possible because of the act.

There are drinkers and alcoholics among our dear Naga brothers and sisters who support the nbcc. Move to prohibit free alcohol in our society. Since, the initiative of the nbcc. The new naga genarations, that is our children's are mostly against parental and senior drinkers. They are mostly not involved in high school and early higher secondary school students partying into family problems. In the naga society before the British era, drunkenness was a shame, when at that time every family brew rice bear. During British era, foreigners enjoyed the brew as great hosbitability of our naga culture. when in my young 80's I saw my khel and towns are dangerous for those drunkerds when evening falls. As such, our poor earning father's or bread winners of the family after a stingy owners labourous earning spends extravagantly in the booze joint. Leaves the wife and children hungry. There are naga for Christ, live by the provision of the poor. Who is who? They are turning into zombies. We strongly support nbcc, long Live nbcc. Hell, with hipocrisy naga so called Christians. Please forgive me, in the name of our Almighty God Jesus Christ, amen

Such talks are needed to understand the perspective from all sides. All five of them were, patient, respectable and open minded to each other's point of view. This is how a talk on an issue should be. After listening to all of them, we can't really take sides as all of them are with genuine concerns. There has to be a committee or something that stands between both NBCC and Government, who takes concerns of both sides and make the decision, whereas we follow it as citizens.

Sir. Joel approach was purely practical. I give 10/10. " Govt. enacted this NLTP act fearing the church leaders will influence the voters to vote out the govt. as anti christian govt."👏👏👏 Well good news is through this burning issue in Nagaland the Govt. of Assam reduce the price of the alcohol. NBCC should realise now that the people have woken up and demands lifting up of NLTP act which is a total failure. NBCC should not shy away with the failure and they should not blame the government for it's failure because the Govt. from the beginning was totally not in favour of NLTP act. So, how can we expect a govt. to strictly implement this act when the govt. never favoured NLTP act! Assigning Police and excise to check the flow of alcohol in Nagaland is like telling the dog to look after the meat 🍖 (NB: just an example only and not referring police and excise as dog).

[@esthersema1449]

With Colo Mero 🎉 very broad and practical concepts

[@vipkopites9179]

The question transcends the mere issue of Prohibition; it touches upon the deeper "failure" of the NLTP Act. Failure, in this context, is not simply the absence of success but reflects a profound inability to address the root of the human condition-our struggle to discipline the heart and will. True transformation cannot be legislated; it must arise from within, from a heart renewed by grace. As long as the soul remains distant from divine truth and unanchored in virtue, any attempt to refrain people from destructive habits, such as alcoholism, will only deal with symptoms, not the spiritual sickness at its core. True freedom from addiction comes when the soul is liberated by the transformative power of God's love and grace, which alone can heal the wounds of sin and restore the will to what is good and holy.

The NBCC's focus on the legalistic enforcement of the NLTP Act seems to neglect the more profound spiritual battle at play. If saving souls is the true concern, then why is there not a greater emphasis on prayer, outreach, and spiritual warfare in the areas where alcohol infiltration is rampant? The law can mandate behavior, but it cannot transform hearts. Only the Gospel of Christ has the power to do that.

Truly stated. Thank you for sharing. We need more of such reasonable inputs, insights and suggestions from all sides. Sadly, most people only condemn, attack and mock the NBCC and the government for reasons best known to them and without giving any worthy inputs.

[@SaveAllTheGoodThing]

😂😂😂😂😂. Now NBCC becoming softball

[@MopaHNymth]

​@@SaveAllTheGoodThingNBCC is an organisation who helps the church, but the church is US as a Christian, Not only the church workers or goers, but sadly people exclude themselves and saying church as some privately own organisation or something.

The logical arguments of Mrs. Rosemary and Colo Mero is noteworthy to be taken into serious consideration. From what I can deduct from these arguments. 1. Whether NLTP act is lifted or not Alcohol would always be available. The present failure in implementing NLTP Act is no less than a partial implementation. In short it is partially lifted. 2. NLTP Act was passed considering the context of that time and have served its purpose. However, context have changed with the passage of time and is now redundant and a failure for the present context. 3. It is the prerogative of the state government to implement NLTP Act and not pass the buck to NBCC for its failure to implement the Act. 4. Food is a choice, therefore neither the government nor the Church should dictate on that choice. 5. NLTP Act is a non issue if both the government and the Church address the moral- ethical values of its employees and members. 6. In any case the government plans to lift the NLTP Act, it should review its past failures and streamline strategies to mitigate the repurcussion of Alcohol related abuses. For which the government need a serious consultations with NBCC and civil societies. 7. A partial lifting of the Act won't be a solution at all, rather, it could agravate the existing menace of Alcoholism and corruptions. Either it should be a total lifting with strict regulations or Total implementation of the said Act.

Rightly said, food is a choice and opium needs to be legalized. Many lives are lost and economy is collapsed due to black marketing of the flow, just like nltp. What is your say on that?

[@Jesseintro]

Everything was so interesting to listen👍 Did not skip at all.

[@imkongjam4345]

Sir Colo mero,the real intellect. Now i realised as to why the NLTP act should not be lifed. Haters may send your trashes

[@moasanen5745]

A very sensible talk I came across so far in respect to the context of Nagaland.

[@Honestman5]

Nbcc has the right and duty to voices out against liquor .Whatever Nbcc says or think doesn't represent the opinions of all the Baptists churches members in Nagaland,but govt thinks that going against nbcc would led to their downfall 😂😂😂😂

[@GUIDELINES11]

What people failed to understand is that, if it's not available since 1989, DON'T LIFT,,,, BUT since it's readily available in every nooks and corner of the state, every department, private or Govt, church or missionary,,, whats the point? So, it's better to lift the act.

[@y.c.ongbouchang7200]

Remember "To prohibit is to promote". With or without the NLTP Act liquors will continue to flows in the States therefore, it's good to take a strong individual decision not to eat, drink and act which is harmful to health and society.

[@zhimozhimomi7230]

NBCC, NMA directly indirectly encouraging black market supporting those syndicates ..every Union, Organization should do their duties and should not interfere beyond their duties
