I read that book many moons ago and was similarly enraged. It's so outrageous for her to make those statements. First of all, how could she possibly know what causes those things? Has she managed to find a book containing the secret answers to all of life or does she talk to G-d every night on her cell phone? What's so maddening is that she doesn't suggest these things as her own bizarre opinion, she throws them out there with such authority as if she couldn't possibly be wrong.
I think I remember her actually saying that AIDS was a result of people not accepting their sexuality. I wonder how she explains the babies who are born with it. It's just too ludicrous!
I am just someone who read it and found it offensive. I can't even imagine what you must have felt having had twins who were stillborn.
I think the book is very popular because the affirmations and advice in the rest of the book are quite good. Unfortunately there are plenty of people out there who are gullible and will buy her nonsense at the end of the book (as did my friend who initially showed me the book). Hopefully most people will see it for what it is, complete garbage!
Take care,
Kara
