Guest guest Posted January 31, 1999 Report Share Posted January 31, 1999 I am crying with joy, just to receive your letters saying you are thinking of us is enough, I printed them out to show to Dave and within 15mins he was taking a shower, but went back to bed after. You dont know how much coaxing I have to do to get him to attempt these small tasks. He is due to take the weekly dose of Clindamisyn tomorrow and he is hoping he will start to feel a bit better after that, at least he is starting to talk a bit more positive. He isn't apposed to taking the ant-depressants it is just the prednisone he doesn't want again, although after going almost a year without anything but the antibiotics any tablets make him feel he is going backwards. We will get there with your support I know it Thank You Guys......LINDA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After many years of Catholic brainwashing I had turned the switch off on God. Heard that before? Quite by whim in a hospital bed I was really down and thought there was a possibility I might pass on. As Im just 49 I still have a genetic survival instinct . I analyzed my fear as this was not the first time death was at my door and each time I never gave a second thought to a God of hell or heaven just took it, and was glad to wake up breathing . Just 3 months ago I was in the E.R. they gave me a med via shot and in 3 min. I knew I was dying . Sure enough I was. I was pulled out of the white light to 5 ICU folks and piles of " save em " paraphernalia. Never to give a thought to God. Walch gave me intellectual license to search , to drop my pride or wall , whatever hold us from a great comfort that we can tap into any time. So Im in bed and tired of being tired and I had brought this book. I picked it up again on a whim as no one I know has read it. Then my story is " mine " . I cannot influence anyone from here. Nor can I say that my beliefs parallel anyone else's. But it is a great comfort when Im down and feeling sorry for me. I hope you get something out of his book there is something there for everyone .

Guest guest Posted January 31, 1999 Report Share Posted January 31, 1999 , I forgot to mention in my previous post to you, that I also take ibuprofen for the inflammation, I believe Dr. Brown thought this was necessary for the AP to do its full job, I believe, that that is why he used the prednisone in small doses every once in a while along with the antibiotic. Another thing that helps me on my bad days, is to re-read the case histories in The New Arthritis Breakthrough.

Guest guest Posted January 31, 1999 Report Share Posted January 31, 1999 correct me if I'm wrong but I think 's message was that he found God in this book.And I think that's wonderful.I think his message was to encourage an opened mind.And that's wonderful too.I have never been upset with someone who turned away from God..because people usually have a very good reason for feeling that way and you can't force God on a person..just be patient and encourage them.And be thankful for your own faith and grace.

Guest guest Posted January 31, 1999 Report Share Posted January 31, 1999 To The List: Religion stirs up deep feelings especially when a specific religion is mentioned. I vehemently resent anyone making derogatory remarks against my religious beliefs or anyone's religion.. I have had it with the prejudice and bigotry that seems to be so rampant. I am responding publicly because the comment was so made. I apologize if I offend anyone. However, I am deeply offended and I will stand up for my faith. ROBERT: I am sorry for the loss of your faith and I will pray that you return to grace. Should you not, I hope you have the common courtesy, and charity, not to make such inflammatory, and untrue remarks. Furthermore, it is ignorant.

Guest guest Posted February 1, 1999 Report Share Posted February 1, 1999 Please tell me what it is I said that offended you so. I truly believe and so did our founding fathers that we all have the freedom of pursuit of our religion. Mine is no more or less valid or important or better then yours, or anyone's. I think I stated that. My belief is we approach God from the way God will best approach us . I have not slammed any religion , in fact I refrained from explaining my beliefs just for the reason you gave. Everyone has a personal relationship with God that is between God and that person. If you are telling me I will go to hell if I do not share your beliefs then you should do the Christian thing and pray for me as I know I need it. There was no dogma in my post. I just wanted to share a comfort I found when in the pain of a flare. God has been a bosom buddy lately as my disease is rampant. I respect all religions. I respect even more those that are secure enough in their faith to realize God is the Father of All His children and all His children are not the same. Is there room for my beliefs in your world?? Bless you and keep you. If the comment about brain washing offended you, Im sorry, to brainwash a chronic criminal may be a good thing. Im not a criminal , but to listen to someone else's opinion of what God is 5 days a week for 12 years may technically qualify as brainwashing particularly when young and influential. What is it they say " get them while they are young and you have them for life " ?? Has that ever passed in your thoughts?

Guest guest Posted February 1, 1999 Report Share Posted February 1, 1999 Hi ! I think you are on a very comfortable and logical path, spiritually speaking. Religion is government applied to spirituality. Just my opinion. Some of us do not like being told what to do at any level!

Guest guest Posted February 1, 1999 Report Share Posted February 1, 1999 Group, It may help to remember the story of the wealthy man on the donkey who once told what he needed to do to go to heaven, turned in despair and rode off. No one stopped him - no one tried to stop him. He was free to make his own choice, which he did - which in the end we all must do. And hopefully we will learn to graciously accept decisions which, painful though they may be, are not ours to make, nor ours to force. -- Regards, Geoff Crenshaw, ACC ---------------------- Managing Partner ** No Disclaimers ** Captain Cook's Cruise Center ---------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Over 3,000 daily cruise & tour specials > Top 5% of Web Sites http://www.800-800-cruise.com [specials] > Top 100 Travel Sites .. > Top Web Sites for Cruise tips New Zealanders http://www.800-800-cruise.com [tips] USA PH: 800-800-CRUIse PH: 559-636-8413 FAX:559-734-1420 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- geoff@...
