Re: Pain Pain Pain.... need support/ Margaret/ faith/to all members

[Guest guest]

First, I did not assume, I said if that's the case.

Second, people who do not have a religion or faith can also respect those of

us that do.

Third, if you wish to not to read my posts, make note of my name and delete.

Because I cannot promise that all my posts will not have a faith based

undertone. It's who I am and no one will ever change that.

Thanks, Judy

1. While it is wonderful to share our experiences with everyone on the list as

to what treatments do and don't work for us, pls always check with your dr. Some

treatments are dangerous when given along with other meds as well as to certain

health conditions or just dangerous in general.

2. If you are in a difficult situation (doesn't matter what it is) pls don't be

afraid to ask for help. It is the first step to trying to make that situation

better.

3. To unsubscribe the e-mail is:

Fibromyalgia_Support_Group-unsubscribe

4. Also, it is not uncommon for more than one member to be feeling bad at the

same time when it comes to flares and b/c of that potentially take something

another member says the wrong way. And that includes the things that one member

may find funny (even if it's laughing at fibro itself) even though we who deal

with illness whether one such as fibro or multiple illnesses try to keep a sense

of humor.

5. Pls let's be gentle with each other, and if you are having a bad day pls let

us know so that we can do our best to offer our support.

Have a nice day everyone.

An excellent suggestion - I will delete your name from my computer.

When did I say I didn't respect your religion? I just feel the list

is the wrong place for religion - any religion, unless this is

strictly a christian list. Is it?

Oddly enough I feel that " respect " has a very important place on this list,

I an shocked that you feel that you have the right to dictate to someone

else if they believe in g-d or not. Christian, Jew, or Muslim they all have

a place on this list and anyone who is so anti-religion that they feel the need

to insult others for fun needs to ask themselves why are you here, these people

aren't bible bashers, they aren't trying to convert anyone, their faith is as

much a part of them as their blue eyes are.

I think you really need to have a close look at why you are so offended

by people who have faith, It looks to me like you need more than a

delete button, " haters " have very low self esteem issues and I think

you need some therapy.

Please delete away but heed my words there is more going on in your head than

g-d, You have been messed up by someone/thing and you are

channelling it at " faith " ful peole. I would seriously go find out what is

causing you to channel that hatred at completely innocent strangers.

Your comments are not about g-d they are about the anger and hatred that is

inside of you, the real question is why is it there.

Very well put, I totally agree. Especially this part:

<<their faith is as much a part of them as their blue eyes are.>>

I wouldn't be here today if it weren't for my faith.
