Re: PLEASE READ!! from Naa Koshie free will...

[Guest guest]

The wonderful thing about God, or whomever you chose as your higher power, is that he allows us to exercise free will. When we are having a bad day, we can pray for strength or we can express our pain by cursing out this disease with all our might, or however we see fit. This group is made up of diverse individuals who each contribute something special with each post. This group is here to help ALL that are suffering with this disease. Let's respect each other by placing a warning/description in the subject line if the content of our emails expresses strong views. If the email is offending to anyone for any reason, simply delete it. We must do the best we can to coexist and allow everyone the opportunity to cry, scream, lament, laugh, and share. I hope all decide to stay with the group, but if the issues are too heavy to deal with, by all means you should do what you feel is right to keep yourself as healthy

as possible.With Much Love!!Naa Koshie O. MillsMac Tosh wrote: Darlene,I prayed about this for the past couple of days. You have said it very well. I have my answer. I do not want to read language that is vile/inappropriate. Words DO have power. I have loved being a part of this group (until recently) and the friends that I have made but this is about my integrity and doing what I feel is the right thing. I will miss many of you. May God bless each and everyone in this group.

And by the way, there were no subject line warnings

from Stu until the last couple of postings. To the comment made that "we can't be who we really are", "haven't we given up enough?" Well, that is what I am trying to do --- be who I really am! I am not perfect, nor am I a Saint, but I do not like to hear filth and profanity and I should not have to.....I have rights also. As for the comment made that "always someone that has to have something to worry about so they can have something to do"!! For your information, I have PLENTY to do and it is not sitting at a computer writing filth! I am sorry if I have hurt anyone's feelings, I was just doing what I thought was right and best for the list........I belong to several lists and NOT ONE are we allowed to use filth on..........I am only sorry that only 18 people out of 483 saw fit to express their opinion........sad............ I have to take care of myself and live with myself. I have not slept for 2 nights worrying over this and it has to stop. I have been very, very, ill this past year and still have a ways to go before I am back to my old self. I just do not have the energy to fight this any longer. I have my own integrity and I have to live

with myself. So, I will be leaving the list as soon as Yahoo processes it. I wish you all the best -- good luck............you will all be in my thoughts and prayers........
