Of the 850,000 Americans currently being fed with feeding tubes, I am guessing some of them are possibly Christians.
Hey don't blame me. I just know it's a belief that was around for many years, at least in some Southern Protestant faiths. Some seemed to see it as trying to stretch their lives beyond the time that God had given them. I was just stating it because at one time it was a standard. My grandparents believed it and my wife's family from up in the NC mountains still believe it.
