"longtime friend Mary Repper said she recently spoke with him and the judge sounds "worn out""

Gee, he needs a nice glass of water to refresh himself.

People ought to follow him around with glasses of water. Not saying anything. Just peacefully carrying a glass of water.

I don't remember which Easter movie it was (maybe "The Robe"), but there was a great line in the scene with Pontius Pilate. After he symbolicly washes his hands of Jesus' fate, and gives his little speech, as Jesus is being led out to be crucified, Pilate turns and asks his assistant, "Did I wash my hands?"....There's an apocryphal account that Pilate returned to Rome and went mad, obsessed with constantly washing his hands. Perhaps Greer will slowly go mad, obsessed with the need to drink water.

"How Christian of them. Glad to know none of them may ever have done anything the others wouldn't approve of."

You are abysmally ignorant of Christianity. All are sinners, Christians and nonChristians, alike. All Christians know this. But serious, unprepentant sinners, which Greer certainly is having ordered the torture-murder of an innocent woman and sticking with this vicious plan when asked to back away again, and again, are to be disfellowshipped unless and until they repent. Judgy can go be a Unitarian; they will LOVE him (I was raised one and I know).

Whenever he goes to a restaurant, the waitress should only bring him empty plates and empty glasses of water. At the grocery store, put all the things he wants to buy back on the shelves.

"The people in that church should be ashamed of themselves, to demonize George and to ask him to leave for doing his job, for upholding the law," she said. "To me, that was the most offensive thing that has happened so far."

Good Lord lady, you can't be on the same planet that I am on?

This judge horribly misused his powers as judge to cause Terri to be starved to death!!! Don't give me that bull$hit that he was just doing his job!!!!!

Da ya Go! Did not Peter say when confronted by the government and was ordered to no longer "speak in the name of Jesus Christ" ---- "we ought to obey God rather than man." When government law violates the law of God, man is exhorted to follow the law of God. Greer, if a man of God, should have recused himself from the case at least, rather than rule against the law of God. God has given the church full authority to discipline those in the church who violate God's law. Ordering an innocent person to be starved to death, is a clear violation of God's law, government, judge, or anyone else has no such authority.

"This is a rare thing in Southern Baptist churches."

I wonder. My experience with southern baptists is the rural church in central Mississippi that my wife's family attended. They threw out their pastor of many years.

He was the most selfless man I had ever met. He was constantly on the road visiting his flock and offering assistance. He sacrificed himself for others on a regular basis and was nearing retirement. He had expected to retire from that church.

His crime apparently was officiating at a mixed marriage of a member of his own family. The stress of being out of work and money caused his own heart to stop while he slept. He is in his late 50's. He apparently has suffered some brain damage as a result and almost died.

The hospital waiting room was filled with a hundred people including many of of his own former congregation who were angry at how he was treated by the church deacons. This kind of self righteousness leaves a very bad taste in my mouth. It has no place amongst those who claim to be religious but pay lip service to the teachings of God,

" These polls are an example of media creating the news rather than reporting it."

Yeah, right.

Well, actually the quotation to which I was referring (post 85) didn't mention self delusion. Perhaps you aren't familiar with it. The quotation, that is. From the few posts of yours I've read, I've concluded that you are more than familiar with self delusion.

My guess is he will do something like that. If I were him I would make life holy h-ll for Mike Schiavo and the judge. Sue Mike for violating his daughter's civil rights, and have the judge impeached for gross dereliction of duty. Also, use the publicity from the event to change Florida and Federal law.

I agree with you. My guess is that they approached the judge and advised them he was in Biblical error. Greer, who clearly is an arrogant pr-ck, probably told them to shove it and butt out. That probably made the vote of the elders pretty easy.
