It’s a medical mystery that’s left several doctors scratching their heads. A suspected malignant brain tumor vanishes without treatment giving a patient a second chance at life.
It happened to a Lodi man who turned to his faith and the very community he has spent years helping. Several months ago, Lodi father and community volunteer Paul Wood realized something just wasn’t right.
“I had massive headaches, I couldn’t walk down the hallway without holding on to the walls,” he said.
Wood’s primary physician sent him to a neurosurgeon at UC San Francisco who thought he had a brain bleed, although radiologists saw signs of a tumor. Wood immediately turned to his faith and his community for support.
The day before surgery, Wood’s operation was canceled because his suspected tumor was gone.
“It’s a miracle and that is the way God planned it,” he said.
Specialists said they can’t explain why everything vanished. Wood’s doctor can’t either.
Faith leaders at Gravity Church, where Wood is a member, believe when there is prayer in numbers, there is a higher power at work.
“He just kept saying, ‘no matter what happens to me, I’m going to be okay. I trust God.’ And that was an inspiration for a lot of people around him,” said Jason McEachron, a Pastor at Gravity Church.
I guess everyone else who died of a brain tumor didn't pray hard enough oh wow
Logan Robinson
OP could have prayed the gay away, but he didn't.. OP could have prayed internet trolls would show more respect for him, his 'articles' and his 'Lord', but it wouldn't have mattered. God doesn't even have enough power to curb online shitposting!
I prayed that God will smite you for your blasphemous insolence.
Jace Clark
That's what I hear.
Colton Smith
Could you tell him to hurry the fuck up about it then? I don't have time to sit around all day waiting to get smitten. I've got a full day of shitposting planned..
The Lord speaks in mysterious ways. Its not like he has to say anything to respond to your prayers. I've prayed before and have seen results from my prayers answered before (such as exposure of the child sacrifice and pedophilia from the Vatican which is now being exposed around the globe. I prayed God would rebuke and expose the corrupt within the churches a couple years ago and guess what? Its been happening recently over the last year!)
Austin Rivera
All you! Ego much? You just finished inferring there was some sort of relevance between your prayers and current events. Your ego is showing. Next you'll be blaming god for making you pray to him.
Camden Brooks
I'm just giving an example. Same thing happened to this guy praying and trusting God with his life. You could repent for your sins and do the same, if you wanted to.
Please begin using your brain user, we're all praying for you.
Julian Collins
So murder, torture, rape, theft, extortion, kidnapping, backstabbing those that love you, etc. isn't a sin? Thats up to you if you think that way.
Fortunately in the real world, most of these things will get people like you locked up (unfortunately unless you happen to be extremely well connected with 'the club' and very wealthy you could likely get away with it do to a corrupted 'justice' system). At least it keeps most people in line though.
Logan Lopez
The circular reasoning is phenomenal! So, if I died of brain cancer, but he didn't, I just didn't 'repent' enough? Let me share a personal anecdote: If I'm not prepared now it doesn't really matter anymore. I've prepared my kids for the onslaught of what this world is about the best I can. My parents cannot say the same. They let their little pet belief system get in the way of properly training their children to deal with reality rather than fantasy. Good thing you didn't have kids, Killcen.. Still, I love you bro.. Keep wearing that tinfoil sombrero well!
Thinking morality and general decency, respecting actual human rights, etc. are all only reflected in religionist ideologies! Shame on you!
Luis Fisher
I fell back asleep, and woke up to see the aluminum foil sombrero
Hahahahahahahahahahahaha
Leo Rivera
Not necessarily. If God decides its your time to go, then its your time to go. But we don't know what God has planned and God could certainly change His mind about things and work miracles. That really all depends the way He sees things and the reality He wants to create. Sometimes God will give people a second chance, sometimes maybe not.
Isaac Morales
Needing a big daddy government or a big daddy god to 'take care of' you.. EVER.
Leo Howard
You can see why this sounds like a bunch of bullshit that only sheep would believe, right?
Isaiah King
Sounds to me like gods a real dick
Nathaniel Miller
Government and God are two completely different entities. The first being corrupted as all hell, the latter one watching.
All conspiracy sounds like bullshit, doesn't mean its not true. 15 years ago if you told people the NSA were spying on Americans most people would have called you a tin foil hat clown. Well…. we now know that to be fact. Same thing with smoking tobacco in the 50s and 60s (they once claimed smoking was "good for you")… only the tin foil hats suggested it was not! Well, we know the truth now, right?
Matthew Price
No. That's fake news. His dick is fake.
Chase Myers
So god is 'real' now? Sounds like a bit of a stretch. I will ask my local witch doctor what his opinion is so I can formulate one of my own..
Nah. The very concept of deity arose from hierarchical structures within human social organization (government). It started with your local witch doctor maintaining power by spreading fear-based belief systems amongst the tribe, and now.. Here we are..
Maybe yours didn't, but he and I believe his did. That's why prayer worked. We believe. You don't. I hope you die a very painful death, like all unbelievers should.
The absolute state of Zig Forums: actually bible-thumpers thumping the bible while a psychopath goes ballistic in photoshop.
Caleb Lopez
To those Who believe in god. Fear of god is the first Step.. Those Who refuse do drugs and have Unwed Children. Some can not saved
Jordan Gray
Huh? Why do I need fear? Also, why do my children need to be unwed? Your god has some weird laws. Not really big on either fear or marriage, so may have to pass on your 'god'..
Jaxon Long
Where is the positive aspect to being 'saved'? Is there any pussy available, at least?
Fear of god is just understanding that there is a higher power and if you do fucked up shit, he can and will have fucked up shit happen to you.
It becomes harder and harder not to do fucked up shit, the more you know about doing good shit.
Thus it becomes harder and harder not to piss off god with your hubris. Thus the fear.
For instance, the average normalfag retard that goes around fucking virgins and turning them into whores knows not what hell he has inflicted upon this earth because he is not at a stage in his life where he can comprehend it. God will not destroy this man's life instantly for creating whores, because he does not have to. This man will destroy his own life slowly over time and his actions bare fruit and he never finds a good woman.
Meanwhile, someone with the knowledge that fucking virgins and not wifing them creates whores, and does it anyway has a much greater need of the fear of god because he's about to get his rewards for his bad deeds much sooner due to his having known better.
Contentment and faith that the world is controlled by a loving god, and not the random whims of your retarded psychotic neighbors.
One Day, You will become Old. You will be like me, Dying.
One Day We will be on our Deathbeads…. You Question God? Question Him as You are Old and Take Your Last Breath. Do it.. Have Your Fun. But One of You will have MANY Chindren that Look Like You (Blond White). Others will be Salty and unhappy looking on at the Black Children who soil laugh and Predict Your Shitty future. Will You be White and blond? or Will You be the Angry old Man for reasons?
Carter Perez
If only I had prayed harder..
Charles Richardson
Well, I will do my best not to act like I'm mentally ill.. Will you?
Thomas Nelson
I notice that KILLSIN only makes that helpless moaning sound whenever the doctor exposes his mouth maggots. He never made those noises during the years that the maggots were growing in there, becoming adults flies, and flying out of his mouth.
At least you have a pic of a real girl on your computer. Maybe you have a chance at redemption after all!

Eggs what can be seen in the lower corners of killsin's mouth
To begin this staged of the house fly life cycle, female adults lay their fertilized eggs individually, but lay them in a mass of individual eggs. Females will deposit up to 150 eggs at each time and space the egg laying events several days apart.
Females choose to lay eggs in almost any kind of decaying organic material, especially animal manure, garbage, and other decomposing organic matter. Eggs need moisture to develop properly and those that become dehydrated fail to hatch. The house fly egg stage only lasts about 24 hours.
Brody Taylor
Larvae what can be seen between killsin's 'teeth'
House fly larvae that emerge from their egg stage almost immediately burrow into the food material where the female laid the eggs and begin feeding. House fly larvae go through 3 larval stages called instars and the entire larval stage development may only take 3 to 7 days, depending upon temperature, moisture, and protection.
The larval stage is the grub stage of the insect and while not able to fly, larvae do possess legs that enable them to move. As the larvae mature and come to the end of the larval stage they leave their food source and crawl around seeking out cool, dry, and protected places to settle into and begin the pupal stage.
Evan Stewart
Pupae what can be seen behind killsin's upper lip
If a suitable pupal development location is not readily found for this stage of the house fly life cycle, the larvae may search for a good pupal development site for 3 to 4 days. The greyish appearance of the fly pupae is much different than the white colored larvae since pupae develop inside a hard, outer shell with wings under the shell that protects the pupae while it changes into an adult fly.
Within a few hours after completing pupation and emerging from the pupal shell as an adult, female adults are capable of breeding. Pupal stage emergence only takes about one hour. The total time spent in the pupal stage is about 4-6 days. Pupal size is an important characteristic since the smaller pupae are mostly males, while the larger pupae are mostly females.
Oliver Gonzalez
Adults what we don't see, because they've all flown out of killsin's mouth
Generally, adult house flies live for 7 to 40 days, depending greatly upon the temperature, humidity, food availability, and other environmental conditions. Females begin laying eggs about 4-12 hours after pupal emergence.
Ayden Hernandez
Females the only females that hang out with Killsin, but even they abandon him.
During the entire adult stage of the house fly life cycle, females are likely to lay 5-6 batches of about 75-150 eggs spread out over several days between each batch. During her typical lifespan an adult female may produce about 350-900 eggs. Quite prolific for an insect that only lives about 15-25 days as an adult.
