FWDAy,
Not a dang thing wrong wid my eyes. Maybe you got screen on zoom? Or maybe you expect to much from imperfect man?

In a controversy the instant we feel anger, we have already ceased striving for the truth, and have begun striving for ourselves.
Wendy,
My child is hurt, she will die young.
For what it's worth, because of these words my fog has lifted. You have spoken truths more universal than any the WTS has ever had to offer. Peace and good thoughts to you and your family. I understand.

As another person who has no need for god in his life,....
That may be the reason for your being so godless, fella. Ever think of that? Huh?
Friday,
I asked you a question on another thread. I believed you when you said you'd be back, but had to take care of something else first. Then you posted an email from your sister. Now you're being needlessly cruel about wendy's daughter. What's wrong with you? Is everyone here correct in their assessment of you? Have I been wrong in giving you the benefit of the doubt?
Mommy

Yeah dey izz. Dey look a bit like Dracula's, or sumpin'. Looks plum spooky to me and my puppy. Do you wear a cape? If so, take it off and maybe yo eyes will become normal and be less frightening to me and my puppy.
Dear Wendy,
I would have responded sooner, but I could not see the keys on my keyboard through these eyes.
Quote: My child is hurt, she will die young. I don't speak of this often, only when it is heavy on my heart. Today is one of those days. I do not understand, why a god would create her to have her taken from me. What lesson have I not learned, where have I gone wrong? Why would a god of love require me to learn a lesson? Would he not give her to me to love and cherish with no strings attached?”
Wendy, you are suffering what I doubt I could bear. Even the most righteous believer of God would tend to quote Abraham: “Is the Judge of all the earth not going to do what is right?” (Gen 18:25) I am not going to try to tell you this is right, it is WRONG. Is God responsible or in “control”? I’m not getting into that at this time. If the God I believe in exits, he will even let you blame him if it helps you through this. I personally will support you no matter what you believe. We are not made to go through something like this. I believe there are answers to your questions, but I would be an idiot to try to change your mind at this moment if you have found comfort in what you believe. E-mail me if you wish to talk.

Sorry, TJ. I got sidetracked with having too much fun to take care of what I really needed to get away from here for, as well as to reply to you on the other thread. I'll be heading back over there shortly ("hopefully"). I just hope that I haven't hit the limit of 25 already on posting.

For Teejay again:
Whoa!!! Hold the phone for a minute.
What do you mean:
Now you're being needlessly cruel about wendy's daughter. What's wrong with you?
Wait just a cotton pickin' minute, TJ. I haven't said a single thing about anyone's daughter. Have I? Where did you dream that up from?

Thank you all for posting!
I have to add a disclaimer here. I do not want my views clouded by the fate of my child. I know what will happen with her. I have accepted this. My life is different, I admit. Do not feel sorry for me. Or ignore my thoughts because of this.
I have bad days, today is one of them. Do not think my thoughts will be different tomorrow. I face life daily. I face death daily. If I need a shoulder to cry on, I have plenty. But do not confuse god with this subject. He left long ago. He left when my little child prayed to him, and needed him, he was not there.
Oh man, this is sounding like I wanted, and never recieved. I recieved plenty from what I percieved to be god. I am just saying it is different now. I know where my encouragement is coming from.
Perhaps I should hush? I will let others talk now. I have already said too much.
peace and love to all,
wendy

Spare me the junior aggressive posture. Fact is, you know next to nothing about me. For all you know, I could be the nice guy that served you food at the restaurant, or who fixed your car, or who smiled at you as you walked down the street.
If you met me in real life, you would think what a kind, charming person I am. Then if you found out my online identity, you would see just how foolish your words above appear to my friends, who do know me, as you don't.
And bringing this back on topic, and toward mommy, all I can say to you, wendy, is that I had no idea of the health situation of your child before. Now that I know, you have whatever empathy I can possibly muster for you. I feel for you as strongly as I can.
