Is it against the Y!A rules to ask a religious Q in LGBT?

Question

This is my favorite section, so I don't want to ask anywhere else. Today I was at the hospital and there was this guy (about my age, maybe 23 or so, maybe a little older) who was getting an MRI. Well, the guy was clueless. I mean I've been there a trillion times, but he just didn't know wtf. His girl friend was there and he was telling her everything is OK and such, blah, blah (the same old oncology/radiology/nuclear medicine waiting lounge banter) blah.

Well, I'm such a regular the staff just kinda lets me know what I wanna know and so I asked about him and found out he has an advanced case of testicular seminoma. It's metastasized and spread to his lymphatics and to his bones a bit. Not beyond cure, but kinda bleak.

I just keep thinking about how stupidly otimistic he was and how he was trying to convince his GF that everything is ok. He was really clueless and has no idea what he's in for.

I felt terrible looking at them and listening to their naive dialogue. My Q is, for those of you who have any belief in a higher power.. would you please keep them in mind? They really have no idea just what is around the corner.

I don't know who they are or what their names are (well, his first name is Jeremy) but they (he, anyway) are in need of serious help.

Experiences like this in the hospital have always haunted me. So, whether it be vibes or prayer or whatever-have-you, would you remember them?

Thank you!

Answer 1

I will light a candle for him tonight.

Answer 2

Yes, you did post the question in the wrong category because it doesn't pertain to LGBT issues.  Just because you like some people in this section doesn't make it the place to post it.

But what is really inappropriate is you asking about another patient's confidential medical information (and even his NAME!), the hospital staff's sharing it with you, and you POSTING it online!  Grow up!  How would you feel if you came on here and saw that somoeone had posted something personal and confidential about you!  The staff who told you that could lose their jobs!  If all you wanted to do was a prayer request, you could have done it without all the personal details.  And you should do that under Religion.

Answer 3

Please know that I intend no disrespect, but tell me what I should pray for....That he know his mortality and his naivete'. That God please let him die painlessly. OR Pray that he know his innate worthiness and that miracles are real. That God loves him and wants the best possible end to his experience. Beg for God to remind him that the Light of God shines in our soul and that when it shines out from us it can burn away all of our suffering. Just let me know so I can help.  

Answer 4

Perhaps that is their way of dealing with it (denial) ! It beats sinking into deep depression & is probably actually healthier !!!

Answer 5

I got your question off of the 'main page'!  I am one of those people of faith and will keep Jeremy and his GF in my prayers.

However, the reason I am responding is because of you personally.  I can tell that by your request you have experienced Christ somewhere in your own personal life.  I felt moved by the Holy Spirit to write to you and remind you that Christ lives in your heart...and that nagging feeling that you wrote about...that is the Holy Spirit calling to you.

Remember that Christ always allows U-Turns in our lives.  Though He is always waiting for us to come back - REMEMBER - that today is the day of your salvation because we are not promised the next!

Christ Still Does Love You - You Are Still His Child!!!

God Bless!

Answer 6

Yes you can actually get reported for asking any question in an inappropriate section.

and then i read it. I think he was probably just saying that because hes girlfriend was freaking out. I wouldn't be surprised if he actually was to but didn't want to show it.

Answer 7

no. but its against Y!A rules to use ask a fake question that is really a hatred filled rant

Answer 8

Very happy to pray for Jeremy!  :)

And as regards one answerer, you have broken no confidentiality, so don't sweat it.  We don't know you or your city or the guys' last name.

People ask all kinds of questions here, and there are many of us LGBT folk who are strong people of faith.

Answer 9

Positive thoughts, love and ((((((((((light)))))))))))) his way!!!

Answer 10

I think that's fine.... and of course I will pray!

Answer 11

The people at the hospital CAN be fired for giving out other patient information, AND  then you posting it.  There are laws to forbid giving out such sensitive information.  I hope the dude is all right, but actually it is none of your business what he or they are there for. The Staff should be reprimanded for telling you such information!  

Answer 12

Being optimistic to someone is just a way of wanting that person to have at least a little bit of hope in their life before losing someone, there's nothing wrong with wanting that. If you knew you were going to die, you wouldn't want your last moments of being with someone filled with misery and unhappiness.
