Explosion at West Virginia Mine Traps 13 Miners

tinytim,

I have no beautiful words. I am so sorry, I thank God your friend made a difference in people's lives, even now.

I pray the Lord's peace for you and all that have been affected.

 

What a great man of God he must've been, tinytim. I am so very sorry for your loss.

 

Indeed it is my friend!

 

Check this out: According to the Buchannon newspaper Westboro "Baptist" Church will be picketing the miner's funerals.

I know I am not supposed to have ungodly anger, but this is just too much.
Some "Christians" are absolute IDIOTS.

Tim, this is just too unbelievable for words. How disgusting!

I pray their evil plans fall apart at the seams.

 

TinyTim, I just saw the segment about your friend, Martin Toler, on Anderson Cooper 360. He seemed to be a really neat guy. He knew where he was headed, what a comfort. I am so sorry for the pain that his family and friends are going through.

 

I also posted this link in the baptist general discussions forum with the question of what to do if you were in my shoes.

 

Some excerpts from your link, tintytim

Sounds more like he was and is affiliated with Pat Robertson, the way they think...

In answer to your question on what would we do if we were in your shoes, I say, 'If the deceased were my friend in every sense of the word, I'd be there except if Jesus Himself told me not to go'.

The Bible says:

A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity. Proverbs 17:17

As for that follish pastor at WBC, the scriptures say this:

Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth:

Lest the LORD see it, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him...Proverbs 24:17-18

 

If they showed, and I were there, <edited - LE> I hope someone in WV does. They idiot fool that runs that Church is a psycho. has been for years. <edited - LE>

and in case anyone has a problem with what I say.... Read thier entry on Wikipedia:

Didn't see a protester, not one.
I did hear they showed up in Buchannon and were ran off.
YOu don't come to coal country and say things against coal miners and survive!!!

 

This is interesting, I am going to start a thread in the Baptist discussion area about this.
This Quote is from the article LE posted a link to
"Instead, Day said, worshippers should imagine they had only 10 hours to live, and write a note about how they would spend those final hours."

What would you do if you only had 10 hours to live?
