So many people have disappeared from my friends list in the past, but most of them decided they didn't want to be friends with me anymore; it seems so rare that when I make friends with people we continue to be friends and most of those friends are you guys here! It really hurts me to learn that people decide they'd rather hate me than continue to be friends with me, or to learn that some "friends" only pretended to be friends with me to make me feel better.

It really makes me wonder, are there really such things as "true-blue friends"?

My mother is looking absolutely great thank you Kyle. The redness from her face after receiving all her radium has well nigh faded and her eyes, nose, mouth and tongue are all slowly healing as well. She must have such deep Christian faith. She's told me she's never shed any tears or blamed God in any way for her cancer. She just accepts what comes her way and praises God for the way He has taken care of her during chemo and radium therapies. In the hospital she stayed in once or twice she even found a Bible placed there for the public to read and read portions of Scripture hearing God speak to her through the Sacred text:big_grin:

And as for what you said in your post Snowthy, I think what it amounts to is that it's completely up to us whether we are "true-blue friends" to our professed friends or not. Friendship is an individual choice. You may have been a true-blue friend to all these people who rejected you Snowthy, because you genuinely liked them all. But in the end they proved themselves to be ungrateful for your friendship.
It's sad and hurtful I know, but at least you find out who your true-blue friends are. And God is of course the ultimate true-blue friend who can always be depended upon and never makes mistakes. I could possibly hurt my friends un-intentionally because I am tainted with sin as much as you might hurt me in some way with your failings.
But praise God He is the conduit that binds our true friendship together leading us back to Him and reconciling us with each other through Christ.

This is excellent news. I t stinks cancer manages to get ahold of so many people, but it's encouraging to hear success stories of people fighting it in their own way.

What if someone uses it to meet other Christians? Is that still "bad"?

You made the right choice Marty. That was very smart of you. Myspace can be very dangerous most of the time.
That's what parents were saying about the internet in 1995. Oh no! Let's abandon the internet!

How is keeping in contact with friends near and far "sick"?

The best thing to do, if you do want to use Myspace to keep in contact with friends, just be on the look out for all the weirdos on there. Don't add people if you don't like their profile or what they stand for and ignore requests from the same kind of people. It takes a lot to shock or offend me nowadays but I still occasionally get comments or friend requests from people who feel the need to be abusive directly at you and there really is no need to treat someone that you don't know and have never met like garbage. People really can be vile sometimes.

I understand why anyone would want to cancel their "Myspace" page. Personally I beileve their should be a rule some how that people under 18 should be able to make one.

Anyhow Marty, I'll still keep in touch with you though MC.
