Terri Schindler Schiavo's Vigil ^ | 10/19/03 | Becki Snow

[MarMema]

I had a feeling he was a scumbag all along.

[MarMema]

So was that from last night?

[Robert Drobot]

I'll drop my guard when they reinsert the tube into Terri, and begin oral therapy. Until then this is more fancy dancing by the good 'ole boys controlling the murder of Terri Schiavo.

Continued prayers for Terri, her family and those earnestly attempting to turn this around.

[pc93]

They should work out the details later. Bush needs to step in for Terri right NOW! This is more than pathetic. I will never forgive them for what they are doing to Terri.

[Robert Drobot]

About your post # 47. You might want to run it by Jim or John Robinson before you post that kind of thread. Could be a basket of snakes (no pun intended).

[phenn]

The bill is being pushed back because of language. We need to keep the pressure on. Here are the contact details for Florida's Senate. Please circulate:

[isatoi]

not sure why this posted twice, so WHOOPSIE........sorry

[SerpentDove]

Is that just the bill, or did they pass it or what?

Sorry, I'm confused.

[isatoi]

I stay confused when it comes to Politics and Government Protocol. But, this is the Bill that was ammended and passed to the House as of 8AM this morn, that is if I am reading it right. Does not give a time stamp on the meeeting for the House to pass, but it does state that "IF" passed it will go into effectr IMMEDIATELY.... I just wrote yet another letter to Mr. King, they are announcing all over the radio.

GOD BLESS TERRI and continue holding her in your precious arms until this can all be resolved. AMEN

[Humidston]

THANK YOU for the ping, Trussell!

[SerpentDove]

Thanks!

>> Sen Mike Bennett on local talk radio her in Lee County. Says he will not support the bill. "The Bible says we have to honor the vows between husband and wife".

Here's what the Bible really says, Senator:

31"When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his throne in heavenly glory. 32All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left. 34"Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.' 37"Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?' 40"The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.' 41"Then he will say to those on his left, 'Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.' 44"They also will answer, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?' 45"He will reply,'I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.' 46"Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life."

Matthew 25 (NIV)

Forgive me for posting something probably already remarked upon but this excerpt from Schiavo in the TB paper today demonstrates a deeply troubled and extremely selfish individual (but his words are quite transparant). In attempting to manipulate his side of things he says the following:

"It seemed to me, during that time, that the aides never did enough for Terri. Some days they did not put her makeup on. I would storm into the nursing home insisting that they do so. I knew Terri always wanted to look her best. Sometimes, the aides did not get her dressed and sitting up until late in the morning. They did not always get her hair combed. They sometimes failed to give her vitamins and medications on time. At each of those failures, I became enraged and lashed out"

Her makeup? Her hair combed? Blaming the aides? Incredible! What on earth is this man saying? Briefly, Schiavo is a dangerous man, a man more concerned about appearances and convenience than values and love. She no longer looked like the lovely woman he married and wanted out. Pure and simple.
