[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]An acquaintance of mine just found out her mother has leukemia.  Her mother is only 61 and she is really crushed.  We are not that close, but we both volunteer on a Board of Directors and mutually respect each other.  She was so upset that she wrote the whole board asking for advice. I offered to take the test to see if I am a match for a marrow transfusion.  Another person offered to help her with childcare.  She took both of us up on our offers, so it is clear the need is there. Everyone else was like "praying for you".   Really?  How about actually doing something? [/quote]

Op,

You are assuming that everyone on that list is also not going through difficult times.  Perhaps they have kids with mental issues, Dads or Moms with dementia or cancer or going through divorce or anything really that prevents them from doing more.

Why do you assume that it is lack of interest and not that they are human too and your friend is not the only person going through bad times?

Let's not assume the worst of people, ok?  Maybe those other people are just more private and prefer not to seek help from others.[/quote]

OK Maybe they can't "Do" something because of their own circumstances, but that doesn't make it more acceptable to say something meaningless.[/quote]

If you think prayer is meaningless than you are right BUT if you don't than you consider it doing something!  Why are you the judge and jury of what is worthy?  Pray tell me!  If you like I won't pray for you at all.[/quote]

Who says anyone is judge and jury?  We're all expressing opinions here.[/quote]
