would you change your mind about this being fake? think about it,what would a person have to lose of they are dying.

Rhoni where are you
Rhoni is out of town for a week...even if she were here, can she verify anything she doesn't know first hand?

And for the record, HO and Newman are not saying this is fake...they are questioning because they have been burned before.

Thad, forgive me. It's not that I don't believe that it's real, but this is the internet, and if I don't know that person in real life, I have my caution shoes on, even though I pray for the person anyway.

As I stated before, I once fell for a well-known, well-liked poster who supposedly died, even sent me an email about his death to make it more real, played on my emotions, knowing that me and a couple others from the forum were looking for a way to attend his funeral while he read our posts and said nothing. I still haven't gotten an apology to this day.

So, thanks to that person, I now have a lack of trust when it comes to these kinds of issues. I hope you and CBO can understand that.

i understand. you want to comfort the dying but as Reagan once said " Trust but verify

thing is, it seems that if a person was really dying they would do everything to draw close to the Lord not leave any gray areas.
where is this person and why haven't we heard back from them?

I am a caring person, indeed that is true. This is the internet, Thad. You can always believe what you hear, even when it's bad news.

I guess I am just naive. What if the guy IS a homosexual? Do we NOT pray for him? He definately needs salvation in such a case. I don't get the 'caution compassion' thinghy at all. Can you show me examples of this in the Bible?? It's not like we are LOSING anything by praying for this man, or allowing him to post on a public forum. He wasn't asking for money, or anything, right??

Pretty simple situation, if you ask me. If you don't like the circumstances, don't interact with the poster.

We never lose when we open our hearts to the hurting, no matter WHO they be. The reward is in the GIVING, after all. *smile*

JMHO
