Do you have an educated guess as to what happens to severely depressed people that commit suicide?

I know a lady who had Lyme disease. She was very, very sick. 

It can be severe indeed. Chronic Lyme is a consequence of untreated Lyme disease, and it can be horrific in some cases (like mine was). It can lead to several comorbidities.

I was never sick a day in my life before Lyme. This was something the Lord returned after He healed me: I haven't been sick since.

You did not know that you had the tick?

No.

It was a wilderness, MM. The closest paved road was over a mile away (it ran through the center of a tiny village of 117 people). I lived and labored out there. All it takes is one bite from an infected tick to transmit Lyme or other tick-borne diseases to a host. I don't know exactly when it happened, but I remember when it started.

I noticed peculiar rashes on my skin. I had constant headaches, insomnia, and would develop a fever out of the blue. I started feeling nauseous for long periods, but I pushed that aside because there was work to do. My adopted mother suffered from osteoporosis and so I did all of the heavy labor on her land. I didn't want her to do that work herself because she had already broken her back a few times before I came out there.

But it grew worse to the point where my clothes were too big because of weight loss. The insomnia was horrible and the nausea caused me to skip meals (she cooked for me) too often. There were times when I wouldn't eat a thing for several days. There was one thing that would make me interested in food...

Hot sauce. If she dumped hot sauce on it, I would try to eat it. I was usually able to keep it down. It had the effect of reducing the nausea. 

(Now you know why I like hot sauce so much)

It grew worse the second year. Very bad. That's when my teeth started falling out.

I remember my dad would get ticks and would remove them right away.

I had nightmares once. A pastor told me to pray the Blood of Jesus on my pillow every night as I was falling asleep. It worked and I did not have any problems after that.

They forgot to tell Richard Cory that.

Please give a little more specific details. 

Because I do not recommend it and I have my reasons for that....

You do not recomment the blood of Jesus? You must belong to one of those churchs that removed all the songs about the Blood of Jesus from their Hymn books. 

Revelation 12:11
And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives to the death.

Hebrews 9:14. How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works ...

1 John 1:7
But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleans us from all sin.

My response to your earlier post was a two part response. 

*First part asking the following: "Please give some specific details of what you did?" And I said that "I do not recommend that we should do that". And I said that before your giving the specifics about your actions...asking you to make it alive in our mind about what you did as if we were with you at the time you said that you prayed....and also we need to hear the specific words used in the prayer...

Then I will filled in the blanc(s) in my statement...

And we need more specifics about what the "Pastor" asked you to do and the prayer he asked you to pray..

* And the second part in my post was " because I do not recommend it"... I did not say all those things you are assuming I wanted perhaps to say, but I did not.

But then we can discuss those things you are interested...

You have in correctly made comments about me, you do not know me, and you are not authorized to speak about me....just assuming and this time you have assumed wrongly...way off the mark.

I want to continue and show cause why I made the statement "I do not recommend it". In my statement there is nothing against Jesus and his work on the Cross.
