Following others has gotten a bad rap.

It damages other muscles in the body as well.

What is strange is the unwillingness of the medical doctors to even
associate the malnutrition with my condition when research data
has been available since WWII that long term hunger can lead to
long term health issues.

This data is not taught in our Medical Schools. Doctors do not even have
access to the data.

Brother I didn't realize you had been through so much, that is heart breaking to hear. I don't think too many people realize that malnutrition came damage your heart badly, your body will actually break down the heart muscle and use it to feed the body causing holes and tears in the walls. Causes major damage!

I'm with you! Very confusion as to which and what kind of work somebody with a heart condition can do! Even a job that would only require you to be sitting would actually put stress on your heart!

People tell me to not mention my medical condition on applications.
There are two problems with that. If an employer hires me for a
position I am not physically able to handle, I will be terminated for
not being able to do the work.

Worse than that is the potential of someone getting hurt due to me
attempting to do a job that I am physically not able to do.

I'm not willing to jeopardize my safety or the safety of others just to
satisfy a group of hate filled, hypocritical religious nut cases. Now,
if those morons are willing to be in a position that puts them at risk
while I am attempting to do work beyond my capacity, then risking
their safety and health could very well be worth the lie. Of course,
they'd be all angry and everything if they ended up injured on the job
because of my lack of health.

And once you put on a app. that you have been diagnosed with a heart condition that in itself will hold you back from gaining employment! 

well...you drive to get away car and I'll stick em up with the water gun!     [/size]

2 Peter 2:2 KJV
And many shall follow their pernicious ways;
by reason of whom the way of truth shall be
evil spoken of.

Pernicious is not a soft lightly sprinkled word.  It is used in halls of judgement of life or death. Pernicious means 'violent death.'   Saddam Hussein's troops were following pernicious ways when they gassed the Kurds. 
A man driving a car doing 90 MPH just before he hits the wall is following a pernicious way.
Getting a speeding ticket while in a hurry to pick up your son from school to get him to baseball practice and then you have to go shopping and then cook and. . . that is not following a pernicious way.
Pernicious is not a word that can be used when simply talking of following somebody.  That is the problem with today.  Paul said, 'Follow me because I follow Christ.'  That's in one ear.  In the other ear is, 'What would Jesus do?'  That causes a psychologically pulling paradox.

Hey brother! You wanna help me and Scott with our  "pernicious ways"    of bank robbing! Scott is driving the get away car! 

What would Jesus do?  it just came to me! 

We'll find a bank located on the water's edge, we'll use a boat instead of car, scott manz the boat at a distance off shore, then me and you can fill water guns (duh! that should be easy!) then we will run across the water and stick em up the bank and run back across the water  (just don't drop the money cause probly not float! then we will really have to go fishing to find some money!  ) we'll jump back in boat then call up big storm to hide in while we make the get away! I think it will work!

Brother my heart goes out to you on this, those people telling you to lie on apps. are probably the same that would sue the crap out of you if something were to ever happen while under that lie  I pray the Lord pours out a blessing on you for standing in what you know is right to do, I really admire you for that..

I hear you on that one. And they would lie like the devil if
you got up on the stand and said: "they told me to lie."

 It's most annoying when the person claims to be Christian.

  I pray the Lord pours out a blessing on you for standing in what you know is right to do, I really admire you for that..

Thank you.
