>>“It is simply inhumane and barbaric to interrupt her death process,” Felos said. “Just because Terri Schiavo is not conscious doesn’t mean she doesn’t have dignity.”

That was a carefully concocted statement by him, you can be sure of that. He really is from the pit of hell.

Do ya'll believe in Miracles? Remember this quote:

"Theresa Maria's hands and forehead"

Could you be just a leetle less mysterious?

(Of course I believe in miracles! I'm not that stupid! If I didn't believe in miralces I wouldn't be living today!)

(Or rather, I'd be living in a a very awful place.)

Somewhere in this mountain of information, CS, is the fact that Terri was admitted to Hospice under the direction of George Felos, Attorney for Michael Schiavo. The esteemed attorney, at the time of Terri's "hospitalization," was a member of the Board of Directors of the Hospice of the Florida Suncoast. He resigned sometime after.

From Post #2079 on the thread "Gov. Bush Calls Special Session," CNN reported: "The Hospice is caring for Schiavo free of charge."

So ... no rehab for Terri during this time, but the information is that Judge Greer okayed the use of Terri's rehab money for attorney fees, and then later, the armed guards keeping Terri's family at bay, were paid for with funds from her trust.

It was listed on his website that James King, Florida Senate President, is a member of the Florida Hospice Board. As a Board member, would he be aware of the plight of Terri Schiavo? Would he be aware that hospice was paying the bill? Were he and George Felos Board members at the same time? It was reported that James King would NOT permit Terri's Bill to be debated in the Senate, but changed his mind 24 hours later. Perhaps he's conflicted about something.

Much more will be written about this, CS, in the days ahead. Another interesting angle is that Felos might have had some input into the Florida law that allowed tube feeding to be withdrawn from persistent, vegetative cases. It's interesting to note that the Esteemed Attorney kept referring to Terri as vegetative ~ hotly denied by her family ~ but that designation gave the okay to remove the tube.

Praise God for His intervention ~ the Lord moved mountains to protect this innocent child from an ironclad attempt to end her life

Perhaps he heard from his constituents.

Excellent letter.

However, Ted Koppel just now (west coast time) said it may be too late. (I'm assuming he meant that such a long time without food may have done irreversible damage.)

Don't stop praying!!!

Pat Anderson, the woman lawyer - if she's been the same lawyer all along - she's weak, very ineffective!

Ted Koppel to Bob Schindler: "What is the point? Your daughter is in a vegetative state ... so ... tell me what the point is?" - Chilling words!

""Theresa Maria's hands and forehead"

Is this where the relic was touched?

Many more than he cared to, I'm sure ~ and he wasn't too happy about those calling from out of state, either!

Ted Koppel is always full of doom and gloom, I wouldn't put much stock in what he says

Wait for a response from Terry's family or Freepers that are on the scene .. I trust them way more then Ted

http://webpages.charter.net/honeygrl/terri.txt

"Mr. Felos' book, Litigation as Spiritual Practice, contains numerous bizarre anecdotes about his ardent desire to end the administration of food and water to severely disabled or gravely sick patients."

"On pages 181-182 of his book, Felos claims that merely by visualizing a plane crash during a flight he was taking back to Florida, he caused the plane to begin to crash and that God spoke to him at that moment to warn him: 'Be careful what you think. You are more powerful than you realize'.....'I was startled, humbled, and blessed by God's admonishment.'"

Attorney George Felos believes God speaks to him and that God has told him he is a powerful man. Powerful enough to crash an airplane merely by thinking of it. Attorney Felos, prepare to be truly admonished. Only this time it won't be by the little voices that speak in your head.

Wouldn't it be wild to see a video of Terri one day thanking the legislature and the governor for saving her life? The odds are it won't happen, but in God's hands miracles are always possible.

What a marvel that would be for those of us who treasure the sacredness of God's great gift, life!

EXCELLENT.

I do have several related questions though -

The family has filed for a guardian et litem to be assigned at once...already rejected by one judge earlier today.

I thought the Governor was responsible for assigning a guardian, so why did the Schindlers go to court to request one (and why were they denied and by what judge, for that matter), and why hasn't he/she been appointed by Jeb?

He also chants "I am that I am" during meditation. Just a bit blasphemous, don't you think?

The above is the updated text that honeygrl is hosting..
please let her know to update it as she has a previous version. I still need to put even more information in there but this is my latest. Oh here is the latest about we should be contacting others and the media to expose their semantic ignorance regarding Terri's condition and how she is not "comatose" or "PVS":

Addition to complaint filed with AG Ashcroft


October 22, 2003



To: Delegate Bob Marshall

Attorney General John Ashcroft



Ref: Continued Denial of Civil Rights – Terri Schiavo



October 21st

A Catholic miraculous medal of the Blessed Virgin Mary that had been blessed by Pope John Paul II was brought to Terri Schiavo to be placed on her person, bedside or where she could visibly see it in her room at Woodside Hospice. However, the medal could not be given to her because in fact, all religious holy cards of various saints and various Catholic artifacts had been removed from her room and thrown away. We were fore-warned that if the medal was placed anywhere in her room or on her body it would be thrown away.



October 21st 5:00PM

The Executive Order signed by Governor Bush to immediately begin hydration and nutrition was received at Hospice by both fax transmission and official delivery. Hospice refused to reinsert the feeding tube, claiming there was no medical personnel to do so, despite the fact that they were the ones who removed it on October 15th. They promised to transfer Terri to a local hospital as quickly as possible.



In addition, two medical doctors had been summoned to Hospice and were denied entrance to perform the procedure as indicated by Governor Jeb Bush. They were also denied access to observe the patient and her condition.



6:30PM

An ambulance arrived to take Terri to Morton Plant Hospital in Clearwater. Upon arrival at the hospital, medical staff refused to comply with the Governor’s order to re-insert her feeding tube or an IV, stating they had been threatened with litigation by Michael Schiavo’s attorneys if any medical care was given to Terri. At approximately 9:30PM an IV was inserted.



Michael Schiavo has denied visitation at the hospital to all members of Terri’s family.



A request for immediate appointment of a guardian ad litem to protect Terri’s medical interests and physical well being was denied by Judge David A. Demers.



In light of the fact that the court order to provide therapy for Terri Schiavo under the malpractice settlement has been denied by the husband; that he has access to Terri and can cause her harm and that he clearly does not represent her best interests, we request immediate intervention to:



1) Appoint a guardian ad litem to protect Terri Schiavo’s interests and ensure she is given proper medical treatment.



2) Open an immediate criminal investigation which has never been conducted in this case.



3) Block the cremation of Terri’s body should death ensue, so that evidence is not destroyed.



4) Restore the rights of visitation and access to the family.



Sincerely,







Debra L. Vinnedge

Why on Earth is Terri being denied her religioud rights as a Catholic?

That's what I'd like to ask those people who are doing these things like denying her the Last Rites or having religeous cards and items such as Rosaries and such wich would give her comfort.
