I need all of you to say Prayer for my Dad he very sick in Hospital.

[conrailman]

Today Oct. 15, 2005. My Dad is Worse Today than on Friday, he had a bad night. Today his BP 98/50 he sleeping more and not eating that well plus 30% of his Heart is Working and bad Lungs from smoking and railroad for 41 Years, I feel very bad today that he going down hill again and I hate to see my Dad in that hospital bed. I hope god doesn't take him this weekend.

When my dad was very ill, I was really angry and then I suddenly just said "God's will be done.." and it was. Hang in there, we are praying for him...and you

While no one would fail to sympathize with you, I don't think this is the place to promote your religion. It amazes me how a rational person would think that asking strangers to "pray" to a "god" would change anything. If there were a god who could control what happens, why would asking strangers to "pray" to that "god" change anything. I think you would be better served by making sure he gets the best medical care possible.

To: Cnwrwyman: I am not promote my Religion here. You Sir are way out of line here, about 5 months ago there was other posts on here to pray for different people. You upset me very Much.[:(!][:(!]

cnwrwyman-

We could all have an intellectual discussion concerning the power of prayer. We could question if there is such a thing, or does it work, and still not arrive at an absolute answer.

No religion is being is being promoted in this thread. What we have is a fellow member of this forum asking for support and prayers for his father who is very ill.

You or I or anyone else here can chose to offer such support or not. You could have chosen to ignore this thread completely.

Whether you believe or not, to deny that such support and prayer offer comfort to others that do, is both ignorant and in this case mean spirited.

If this post, or this thread is inappropriate, the forum moderator is free to pull it.

If you don't have any prayers to offer in response to this request, why bother posting?

I hope mine help--His will be done.

Cnwrwyman,
You're a jerk. He is asking for (and getting) our prayrs for his dads recovery and you have the nerve to bash religion on this thread. I think you need some prayrs too.

Conrailman, ignore him for he know not what he speaketh. Will keep your dad in my prayrs.

[blhanel]

[#ditto] and AMEN!

[conrailman]

We find out on Sunday 16, 2005, That my Dad has Tumor in his Stomach now. That he will maybe having Surgery this week, but the Doctors said that he has a 50/50 chance of Living.

[Tulyar15]

Well lets all hope, that he has the luck of the Irish and this time his glass is half full!

Unlike some people, I do believe positive thought can make a difference. There have been a number of well documented cases where people's faith has kept them going! So lets all think positive and channel our positive thoughts.

Cnwrwyman:

Over the past two years, I have found this to be a posting board of gentlemen and women. Having a parent extremely ill is one of life's great traumas and we all band together as railroaders, railfans and a group of individuals of many religions to support a fellow board member in need.

No doubt you'd find much more comaraderie on other posting boards. But if you need support (and prayer) down the line, we'll be here to pray for you.

[cherokee woman]

Conrailman, you and your family are definitely in our prayers, and you will
stay there. May it bring comfort to you to know that there are people out
here who are thinking about you, your Dad, and your family, along with
praying for you all.

[rambo1]

good luck and god bless you all! rambo1.......

Conrailman, I'm very sorry to learn of the prognosis for you Dad. This is no doubt a very difficult time for yourself and your family.

Rest assured that your "extended family" here at trains.com are keeping your entire family in our prayers.

God bless!

For the past weeks you've been worrying about someone else, now it's time to remember that God loves YOU.

I remember when my grandfather died. It had been coming for a long time, so we had a lot of time (and practice, so to speak) to prepare ourselves emotionally. Even so, long after the grief has subsided, there is a gap left.

While you may feel sad, be happy for your father who is now in a better place. Anybody can be sad, just as anybody can be angry. It takes effort to be happy, just as it takes effort to love.

Sincerely,
Daniel Parks

As hard as it might be right now to think about...please remember that after this trauma is over you and the rest of your family members must (and will) go on wtih your lives...so PLEASE take care of yourselves at this very rough time. GOD BLESS!

conrailman,
I'm so sorry to hear about your father's worsening condition. Take comfort in the fact that God will take Russ to a better place, where there is no suffering or pain. Right now, not only are my prayers for Russ, but also for you and your family in the difficult times that lie ahead. May God assuage your pain and may he comfort you and yours always. Have faith and may God bless you always.

cnwrwyman,
I have been reading the posts on this forum for quite awhile and have found the members to be knowledgable, considerate and kind. I respect the opinions of its members and consider them my friends, even though I have not met any personally.
You Sir, are the exception. Never has a posting disillusioned me so! Your lack (absence) of tact and compassion amaze me. A fellow forum member has requested help. Why are you so adamant in giving him succor?
If it troubles you so, why did you open the "topic" file? Let me say, that I will be the first person to uphold your right to "speak your mind", but your execution of this is very, very, poor. You chose a bad venue in which to promote your values. I believe you owe conrailman an apology!

I'm sorry I didn't see this thread earlier, now that I saw it, the last post informs of your father's death, I'm very sorry for your loss. But be sure that your father is in a much better place than we are, and this is not the end of it, but you will meet again.
