After suffering from a painful autoimmune disease for close to my entire 22 years of life and having a rough year due to a knee infection and cardiac issues, I'm sick of the missionaries coming to my house without permission and when I do want their support, such as before my last surgery, they brought the holy oil of course and told me that I will not need the surgery because of God's Healing Power. I had to have the surgery anyway and I'm still recovering from it and I'm sick and bed ridden because I'm not allowed to take the medicine that keeps my autoimmune disease under control because I'm more vulnerable to infection.
I'm sick of being told "God can heal!. BoM can heal!," or "You don't need this surgery!". I have tried to engage the missionaries in small talk and light hearted topics but it's frustrating when they change the subject and cut me off to start interrogating me like somebody from the Gestapo about how I'm not good enough!. It's downright cruel!. I wish the missionaries would either leave me alone or be more empathetic about my medical issues, like a true believer in the Holy Ghost should be!.
