Guest guest Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 So it is alright for any person here to post their personal faith system? If so, I will get cracking on a variety of posts for my personal diety views.

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 I strongly believe that faith is an important part of our healing, and that God is our source for everything. This group is about sharing love, encouragement, hope, and all of these are part of the Judeo-Christian ethic of " loving your neighbor as thyself. " The scriptures are full of wisdom regarding the appropriate pursuit of healthy relationships and for making sense of a world in chaos. So, no, this group is NOT a free for all regarding personal deity views. It is a support system of women loving women who are suffering, and offering up those things that have been inspirational to us as we journey forth. I posted what I did about how much God loves us and how perfect that love is for the sake of women who may feel unloved at this time in their lives. I truly believe that no man could ever love us as God loves us, and therein lies perfection of love. Some women haven't realized that, and for me it was life changing. I needed to share that. I have been involved in groups before where religious posts were not tolerated in any way, shape, or form. I don't feel that is healthy. Many of us here have a strong faith in God, and I am not going to squelch that. As I said, it is an important aspect of our healing. Many of us have to heal spiritually before we can heal physically. Please think twice before taking the stance that you are going to " get cracking on a variety of posts on your personal deity views. " Of course, that is not the intent of this group. There is a difference between doing something out of love and doing something out of selfish ambition. I am sorry if it never did make any sense to you why so many of us choose to share our faith here. You'll have to make a decision on whether or not that is something you can accept about our group or not. Let me be clear also: ANYONE who decides they want to use this forum to start an ugly debate about religion is going to get dumped fast. I won't tolerate that sort of abuse! 3 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. 4 Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 To follow up, I am Jewish. I do not care for the religious tone, either. However, this forum does help many women. There are other forums like Implant_Info_Net and Explantation.Com that are open to other opinions, and do not focus on evangelical Christianity. I come here because I can like the women, and appreciate the help they offer, and overlook what I don't much care for. > > > > > > How can a woman not love the Lord? > > > > > > > > > * He is a gentleman, > > > * He is confident > > > * He is a provider and protector > > > * He is rich and powerful ( He owns everything!) > > > *There is nothing He wouldn't do for me > > > * He perfects all things concerning me > > > * He anticipates my wants and needs > > > * Every day He tells me and shows me how much He loves me > > > * I don't have to perform in order to earn His love > > > * He keeps all of his promises > > > * No one can influence His opinion of me > > > * He is the ultimate intimate partner > > > * He can't " disown " me because I am a part of Him > > > * He prepares a table before ME (Selah) > > > * He covers me and doesn't expose me > > > * He wrote his loving words down so that I'll never forget how He > > feels > > > about me! > > > > > > NOW THAT'S LOVE!!! > > > Any man, who wants pointers on how to love a woman, should study > > GOD! > > > Wake up every day and thank God for being the best " man " in your > > life! > > > > > > > > > TO ALL THE GOOD AND BEAUTIFUL WOMEN I KNOW!!!

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 Patty, I want you to know that I truly appreciate your love, support, and intentions for this forum. But I would like to point out that while everyone could use spiritual support, especially in times of health crisis, it does not have to come from Judeo- Christian sources to be useful or valid. Many of us are not Jewish or Christian, including myself. There are many ways to worship, or to be spiritual, or to spiritually uplift others, that do not include the biblical idea of God. It is wonderful what your beliefs have done for you! Please do no discount that other beliefs are any less powerful in achieving the same goals. There is room for us all to support and uplift in a myriad of ways.

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 , The intent is truly out of love. I have never said anything negative toward anyone else's opinions; I have never discounted anyone else's beliefs. If I have, please show me the post! I don't think you'll find one. I appreciate what you are trying to say. I think Molly has the best approach. The key is tolerance toward each other, and that is the ONLY way that we can stay together in our support group. The first person to start complaining about what others are writing sets the ball rolling on a negative course, and that is when it has to get nipped. If you guys haven't guessed by now, our group has been successful because we stay positive! We all have our beliefs, and I only ask that you recognize the intent of what is shared, and be kind enough to keep anything else that isn't an encouragement to others to yourself.

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 Hi, That has always been a concern for me, as a social worker, that we are all inclusive, and that often we seem to be pushing one certain religious agenda. I have always felt that we need to be all-inclusive and tolerant of all religious beliefs. That is, however, my viewpoint. Others may have a different viewpoint.

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 I agree, Lynda. We each must find our own path in this world, and there are many ways of finding spiritual fulfillment or healing. For some, it may not be a Christian God, or a Jewish God or a Muslim God or...it may not be any God. Some find fulfillment in meditation, or community involvement. There are many people who believe in treating others as you would want to be treated yourself, but who do not believe in God at all. I see nothing wrong with sharing one's own experience, as long as there is tolerance for others' experiences and beliefs. If we become intolerant of another's beliefs, we may well lose a chance to be of service. > > > > > > > > > > How can a woman not love the Lord? > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > * He is a gentleman, > > > > > * He is confident > > > > > * He is a provider and protector > > > > > * He is rich and powerful ( He owns everything!) > > > > > *There is nothing He wouldn't do for me > > > > > * He perfects all things concerning me > > > > > * He anticipates my wants and needs > > > > > * Every day He tells me and shows me how much He loves me > > > > > * I don't have to perform in order to earn His love > > > > > * He keeps all of his promises > > > > > * No one can influence His opinion of me > > > > > * He is the ultimate intimate partner > > > > > * He can't " disown " me because I am a part of Him > > > > > * He prepares a table before ME (Selah) > > > > > * He covers me and doesn't expose me > > > > > * He wrote his loving words down so that I'll never forget how He > > > > feels > > > > > about me! > > > > > > > > > > NOW THAT'S LOVE!!! > > > > > Any man, who wants pointers on how to love a woman, should study > > > > GOD! > > > > > Wake up every day and thank God for being the best " man " in your > > > > life! > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > TO ALL THE GOOD AND BEAUTIFUL WOMEN I KNOW!!!

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 Yes, Patty, I believe in God. I don't believe that my conception of God is the only one, or is right for everyone else. I know many fine people who don't believe in God at all. There are many ways to find fulfillment, and healing in life. A sense of community - inclusiveness, as Lynda suggests -- is important. Sharing our experience, strength and hope, about what we have gone through with implants, creates that sense of community. That is what is valuable about these BI forums. > > > > > > > > > > How can a woman not love the Lord? > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > * He is a gentleman, > > > > > * He is confident > > > > > * He is a provider and protector > > > > > * He is rich and powerful ( He owns everything!) > > > > > *There is nothing He wouldn't do for me > > > > > * He perfects all things concerning me > > > > > * He anticipates my wants and needs > > > > > * Every day He tells me and shows me how much He loves me > > > > > * I don't have to perform in order to earn His love > > > > > * He keeps all of his promises > > > > > * No one can influence His opinion of me > > > > > * He is the ultimate intimate partner > > > > > * He can't " disown " me because I am a part of Him > > > > > * He prepares a table before ME (Selah) > > > > > * He covers me and doesn't expose me > > > > > * He wrote his loving words down so that I'll never forget > how He > > > > feels > > > > > about me! > > > > > > > > > > NOW THAT'S LOVE!!! > > > > > Any man, who wants pointers on how to love a woman, should > study > > > > GOD! > > > > > Wake up every day and thank God for being the best " man " in > your > > > > life! > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > TO ALL THE GOOD AND BEAUTIFUL WOMEN I KNOW!!!

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 Exactly, we must always be tolerant. And always remember our Jewish, Muslim and other women who may not share the beliefs predominate in this country. If we really think about it, Christianity is not the world's most dominate religion. We need to be there for everyone who may be having problems or thinking about implants. I do disagree with one thing. This is not Patty's forum. She may have founded it, but she would be the first to say it is the forum for women affected by implants or wanting information about implants. Let's us not put her in a bad place with all of this. She has been a shining star for women who have had problems. Lynda At 08:28 PM 12/21/2005, you wrote: >I agree, Lynda.

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 Lynda, I meant to say that Patty has the right to move this forum in the direction she wants, since she was the founder.

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 And, ....I dont discount any of the wonderful work that Patty has done. This forum has helped many. An individual who creates a forum chooses the direction it takes. For example, I know a woman who helped found Explantation.com is an evangelical Christian. However, she decided she did not want discussions of religion to detract from the main purpose of that forum -- to help women who were struggling with implants and making the decision to explant. I certainly respect that decision. If Patty has a different philosophy, then we should equally respect that. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > How can a woman not love the Lord? > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > * He is a gentleman, > > > > > > > * He is confident > > > > > > > * He is a provider and protector > > > > > > > * He is rich and powerful ( He owns everything!) > > > > > > > *There is nothing He wouldn't do for me > > > > > > > * He perfects all things concerning me > > > > > > > * He anticipates my wants and needs > > > > > > > * Every day He tells me and shows me how much He loves me > > > > > > > * I don't have to perform in order to earn His love > > > > > > > * He keeps all of his promises > > > > > > > * No one can influence His opinion of me > > > > > > > * He is the ultimate intimate partner > > > > > > > * He can't " disown " me because I am a part of Him > > > > > > > * He prepares a table before ME (Selah) > > > > > > > * He covers me and doesn't expose me > > > > > > > * He wrote his loving words down so that I'll never forget how He > > > > > > feels > > > > > > > about me! > > > > > > > > > > > > > > NOW THAT'S LOVE!!! > > > > > > > Any man, who wants pointers on how to love a woman, should study > > > > > > GOD! > > > > > > > Wake up every day and thank God for being the best " man " in your > > > > > > life! > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > TO ALL THE GOOD AND BEAUTIFUL WOMEN I KNOW!!!

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 Cosima - you came here for help, and we want to help you, and have enjoyed getting to know you. I hope you will reconsider and continue to post. I really want to keep in touch with you and find out what happens with your surgery and support you as you heal. Things like this happen occasionally on any site where people post their opinions about things, but the heart of the site are the women who help eachother through a horrible ordeal.

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 Cosima, I can't tell you how many times I read the " squabbles " here and thought the same thing, but kept reading...just because. I've found that tangents are just inevitable. Each of these subtopics seem to rise up, people snip back and forth a bit and then move on to the next piece of information that is pertinent. Religion is a real biggy...much too personal to be let go of quickly, but the conflicting comments will eventually tone down. I think these are all intelligent women who realize that the comments are universal and ageless and in the end we all respect and appreciate the person, not her private belief system. At some point the discussion will center around something else. Even if you don't participate, (and I actually don't very often, just recently I have - for some reason) don't give up a valuable resouce. That's my opinion, and like almost everyone else in this forum - I think I'M right. And just wait to see if I get lambasted for this. It's almost funny. But I'm still here, still reading.

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 Cosmia, I think the things on religion were short and well handled. I would hope you can see past that kind of stuff and go for what is really here, support and help.

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 Oh my goodness, nobody got dumped! Please, please, this is the Christmas season. Can we just not be over-reactive? Can we show a little bit of tolerance and forbearance out of kindness and love toward one another? My goodness... It always amazes me that the whole heart of religious expression is to love one another and be good to others, and yet there are people who twist it to make it look like a bad and ugly thing....it is NOT! It is only a bad and ugly thing to those who choose to make it that way. It's totally a choice you make, and is also revealed through the words you speak. Sometimes there are just things that are better left unsaid when they are not said in love. Through the years there have been many, many women here who written about the value this group has had to them physcially, spiritually, mentally, and in a myriad of ways. I've received many letters privately that confirm that our group has saved their life, that our kindness and love for one another has been instrumental in their healing, as well as the practical advice they've gotten for taking steps to regain health. But no less important are those letters that I have received from women that express deep gratitude for the spiritual healing that they've gone through as a result of this group. I've seen that enough times to know that it is VITAL to women. It is my hope that through the letters we share, we will heal not only from our implant experiences, but experience growth on many levels, including learning how to interact and respect one another, and be not only tolerant of one another's feelings and expressions, but appreciative of them. After all, we are all women going through a shared experience. It's not too much to ask , is it?????? Is it???? I have alot of hope that we can move on and remember just how special, how valuable, how unique each and every one of us is, and that we have all made contributions to this group that have been instrumental in making it a haven for the hurting, a place where we can come for comfort, hope, encouragement, and renewal. We may not be able to be all things to all women, but I believe we can make a huge impact for the good. Just remember that when you choose your words.....

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 Well said, Patty. Tolerance is the key to may things. Love is in this support network for those who seek it. Everyone, PLEASE just remember that one thing. If some things are not to your liking, please just skip over them and go for what does help you.
