billvon 2,991 #76 September 11, 2016 QuoteBut, you know that. You just don't like scared people seeking solace in their faith. You would rather them simply wait and read an old copy of People magazine. Personally I'd prefer they get good medical care, rather than either of the above options. Odd that you would prefer prayer. (I also think that if a close family member got sick you'd change your mind very quickly.) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Coreeece 2 #85 September 12, 2016 normissGod doesn't make the schedule at the hospital you know. Perhaps He could effect a promotion for Lalor, and replace him with someone a bit more supple. Everytime I get a male nurse, I feel like I'm getting ripped off. No, but seriously - male nurses actually do seem more effective than female nurses in my experience. More patience and a better sense of humor.Never was there an answer....not without listening, without seeing - Gilmour Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RonD1120 62 #86 September 12, 2016 jclalor So from here on out, I gues you'll be refusing all medical care. No, I will seek medical advice and/or care and pray while so engaged. I will try to seek out a Christian physician but regardless prayer is concomitant to care. As a Christian disciple I pray throughout the day. I pray for guidance, protection, wisdom all sorts of things. I pray sometimes when grocery shopping or choosing an item off a restaurant menu. 1 Th. 5: 16 Rejoice always, 17 pray without ceasing, 18 in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

normiss 801 #90 September 12, 2016 Some studies that are out there seem to link imaginary friends with dissociative identity disorder, based on childhood neglect or abuse. I've long felt raising children to believe in non-existent beings is a form of mental abuse. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
winsor 236 #91 September 12, 2016 jclalor******From the way you say that, I really hope animal control takes care of those hounds. Loose animals are a danger to public safety. Sorry your friends got hit and I hope they get better soon. Thanks. We are under attack but it is spiritual and we know how to focus and fight. As far as DJL's fantasy goes, we believe that when SHTF occurs the inner city rats will kill each other off. They are not likely to reach the city limits. As the food supply runs low they will fight for candy bars. "The inner city rats" I'm embarrassed for you. Agreed. Rats have a lot more to offer. Researchers have taken to using attorneys in their experiments. It turns out that they were too likely to develop attachment to rats, and there are things even a rat won't do.
