perfect timing

So I don't want to go to some religious based support group. They usually have the same old fanatical motivations for doing things and being an intelligent person, that does not appeal to me.
To each his/her own.
But I do greatly thank and appreciate your prayers because I am sure they help.

just to be clear, many of those groups are run my social workers who work for Methodist Healthcare Ministries. Within the field of social work and counseling there may be an overall arching theme of religiosity, but within the ethical standards and practices of those support groups, unless you go to one that is specifically written to be "Prayer for Healing" there usually isn't a religious undertone. It;s I understand your reasoning for avoiding them (based on your experience) but I did want to clear that up. Here is a link which discusses Methodist's Support group philosophy. I searched for "religion," "faith" and "God" and none appeared. http://sahealth.com/your-health/?/24...-Do-They-Help-

I have been thinking of your wife and your family and am glad things are getting better for you.

I prescribe you should spend more time on punctuation and proofing and less time on Thesaurus

Good info here. It's safe for healthy individuals, but obviously not at extreme doses or over long term use.

Well... it tuns out that Chump, Blake, mallox, johnsmith... have been pretty decent in this thread... we cannot say the same unfortunately of xmas in the blake's thread...

For atheists they showed compassion, for being christian xmas is a pure asshole in comparaison...

that's pretty sad if you ask me

[TDMVPDPOY]

if ur atheists the only thing u believe in is what u see and present

i was in the same situation as the OP a few years ago when my dad had a lung infection required to cut 1 and half of the other...

family is non religious didnt believe in hocus pocus bull , just believe they are in good care and let the doctors/surgeons do their job...what else is there to do besides leaning on the hands of the doctors that it is a successful surgery

as mentioned by SR21, blake's thread is dated from 2010 and is being bumped on a regular and again today. I just found singular to see that the so called assholes chump, blake and co have been pretty nice in this thread while being called out for being atheists troll with no morale. The so called christians on the other hand...

Total misrepresentation of the facts.
You had best go back and read where I first posted in Blake's thread for the truth, but then I realize the truth is not what matters to you, so kindly off.

And for what it's worth I am in the ER with my wife right now.

She was doing great but suffered something new and we are waiting for the tests.

Yet I am answering as many questions as I can in the other threads which IMHO is the polite decent thing to do, but it doesn't change my opinion of the trolls on here, they are a necessary evil.

[benefactor]

So you are in the ER with your wife but you are here on ST posting about trolls and truces?

Sorry, that just reeks of attention whoring.

You've obviously never sat for hours worrying beside a sick loved one before and sought any distraction from the worry and tedium.

How do you live with yourself?

If we are all lucky you will die an early death.

My honest suggestion is to get off this board til she gets out of the hospital.

In my opinion, no one will question your politeness if you do.

You can stick your opinion where the sun don't shine.

Your opinion means nothing.
