When I had my first pregnancy, it was a tubal. I was having many complications at the time, and had no idea why. (didn't know about the tubal till later) One night at church, a brother that was preaching told me that God said "it is well". Naturally, I thought oh God, you're going to save my baby. But, that wasn't His will. I miscarried not too long after that.
...
I believe that God saved me from having to have an abortion, because He knew that I'd of died first before allowing the drs. to abort my baby.

That Wacky God, sending you misleading messages like that. What a sense of humour!
It's a good thing that you didn't end up thinking the preaching brother was just a bullshit artist, because then you might start wondering what else he's been bullshitting about.
Not to be cruel, having a miscarriage is very sad, but wasn't the outcome the same?
What's the difference really.
Then you're an idiot, because the the microscopic parasite in your tube that you call a "baby" would never have been viable. So not only would you have no child to martyr yourself over, you'd have died yourself.
Sounds like that preacher can see how gullible you are...no doubt he's getting big donations from you based upon his "revelations".
So you believe that God aborted your baby in order to keep you from having an abortion?
No, wait. You actually believed that God would somehow make your ectopic pregnancy into an ordinary, non-life-threatening uterine pregnancy for the first time ever in history? You really thought you were that fucking special?
Humility. You need it.
Sigh!
Don't you realise you aborted the failed pregnancy!
The prayers failed and your god failed!
Who made it a complicated birth? Was it your god or was it chance?
> When I had my first pregnancy, it was a tubal. <
Whoa, awesome, Dude. Tubular! Then the litle gremmie wiped out.
Has it escaped your notice that the very god who terminated your tubal pregnancy was the one who allowed it to happen in the first place? Good for you that nature took action since your stupid ass would have been out of the gene pool had it been up to you to make an intelligent decision.
Jesus: So you never really answer prayers?
Mr. Deity: Not really ... If people pray to me and things go right, who gets the credit? Me! And if things go wrong, who gets the blame? Not me! I'm gonna mess with that?
So God is answering your prayer by giving you a miscarriage? Gee, I would have thought "answering your prayer" would have been something like, y'know, fixing the problem.
On the plus side, because she waited a long time for the pregnancy to abort naturally, perhaps she scarred that fallopian tube so badly it won't function in the future and thus render her less fertile.
PS How stupid do you have to be to kill yourself while killing your "baby" to die anyway.
Sorry i could not resist..
1) "didnt know about tubal till later". That is the first problem. You are ignorant. No wonder it is so easy for you to think gawd has a hand in life.
2) "it is well". Nice vague comment. Especially from somebody that talks to gawd. I see the "brother" didnt say "Gawd said your baby will be saved", as then he could have shown he doesnt know what he is talking about. You figured he meant your baby would be saved BUT....then changed your mind about what he meant when you miscarried. All of a sudden, instead of a prediction about your baby being well, you rationalized it to mean that "his will" was actually something else. "it is well" is another throw away term like "gawd's will" which sounds good to the ignorant, but has no meaning other than whatever happens I can pretend it was proof of a gawd.
For all those who say gawd speaks to you....how about coming up with more accurate predictions about just what gawd supposedly says. Then I will be impressed.
Even the Catholic Church says that taking out an ectopic/tubal pregnancy is not abortion. You would not have been having an abortion if the miscarriage hadn't happened and you'd dealt with it.
And yay for the specific and easily tested prophesy!
I'm so sorry for you, Kim. Praise the Lord for your faith! I became pregnant unexpectedly last year, and we had Apostle Julie deliver the baby in the church. It suffocated on its way out, but I am still so grateful that I didn't have an abortion and that God provided another means to set my mind at rest. Praise Him!

I really feel for Alaska game wardens.
As for the OP, why do I have a sneaking suspicion that she had the abortion, and this is just the lie she tells all her fundie friends to keep in their good books.
Moose, in four days you will meet a woman who will become very significant to you. She will be caucasion, with brown hair and brown eyes, and will be wearing a black shirt at the time you meet her. Let me know in four days how it goes. :-)
So your god caused you pain an anguish, killed your "baby" anyway, then expected you to thank him for it? And that means he's great and loves you?
Yeah, fundie beast-god in a nutshell, right there.
Are you having troubles with pregnancy and then you pray and everything becomes alright? God has delivered your baby, praise his glory.
Are you having troubles with pregnancy and then you pray but it only gets worse and worse until you have a miscarriage? God has prevented you from doing it yourself, praise his glory.
Glory be to God. He'll kill or allow to be killed all of your kith and kin both now and in the foreseeable future. No big deal, it's something He has always done. As a matter of fact, you wouldn't have died first before having an abortion unless God wanted you to die. Actually, God wants the vast majority of women who have an abortion to live, as is self evident. Of course, God does want you dead one day, just not yet. Glory be to God and His death dealing ways.
I'm sorry you went through that. It must have been agonizing.
The only difference between the abortion performed by a doctor and a miscarriage performed by God is the doctor is consistent in his morality. If God opposes abortion, God must therefore oppose miscarriage.
Well, he miscarried him instead, which means that...............well, it sticks out a mile what it means, isn't it?
I had an ectopic pregnancy. It is a medical emergency. The 'abortion' word never came up... Saving my sorry ass life was first and foremost on the minds of the hospital staff.
I ain't wasting another minute posting on this as it pisses me off. Like I don't have a right to be here and should have opted on "because He knew that I'd of died first" b.s.
P.S. I would have left a child motherless and a husband a widower. I, for one, am glad for medical interventions.... a couple other people are too. Fucker! (storms off angry...)
so it was in gods plan to get you pregnant, have you live through complications, and then have you miscarry?
your god can take his plan and shove it up his divine asshole, to be frank
"One night at church, a brother that was preaching told me that God said "it is well". Naturally, I thought oh God, you're going to save my baby."
and this is the part... where you lost me... and all sense and structuring of logic in this sentence... flew out the window... "it?".... please clarify what "it" is for me... and how does that one simple statement... have ANYTHING to do with your baby???

"Moose, in four days you will meet a woman who will become very significant to you. She will be caucasion, with brown hair and brown eyes, and will be wearing a black shirt at the time you meet her. Let me know in four days how it goes. :-) "
YOU ARE NOT GOD! STOP ACTING LIKE YOU ARE ALMIGHTY AND KNOW IT ALL! I KNOW FIVE DOLLAR PSYCHICS THAT CAN PREDICT THINGS BETTER THAN YOU CAN!! ASSUMING WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN A PERSONS LIFE IN GODS PLACE AND MAKING PREDICTIONS IS WITCHCRAFT IN YOUR BOOK AND IS AGAINST GOD AND HIS INFINITE WISDOM OF BEING THE DIVINE CREATOR. SO STOP IT!!
Why did Got put your fetus in the Fallopian tube in the first place?
You are aware that another word for miscarriage is spontaneous abortion, aren't you.
How can it be better that you both die? That lump of cells in your fallopian tube had no chance whatsoever of being born. It was barely more than a cancerous growth, threatening to kill you.
I'm not entirely sure how to respond the this. Wait, God is talking to me right now..he says..he says the preacher was lying, and that He is tired of people claiming to speak for Him when they're really just talking to themselves.
Turns out, God agrees most of the time with Atheists and Agnostics.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
