- Friends of Terri, please ignore the Terri-thread trasher newgeezer
Posted on 05/26/2005 10:32:23 AM PDT by franky
Fr. Pavone is meeting with Terri's parents this weekend. He wishes for us all to email them at:
terri@priestsforlife.org
Also,those interested in Priests for Life for the laity email:
vocations@priestsfor life.org
Didn't the court decide it was Terri's wish to die?
It was an honest question.
But, if your screen name and profile are any indication, you might be one of those all-Terri-all-the-time gushers who can't be bothered for a reasoned discussion.
It's hard to ignore them. What I think I'm going to start doing is simply hitting the abuse button up front on these people. By their second post they are typically calling other posters names.
I think you'll be pleasantly surprised by this one.
thanks for bumping the thread
So, what's the problem?
I regret so much the only time I saw Fr. Frank, and up close at that was as he went in to visit Terri in her last hour. No time to meet him or talk. I am so glad he was there at that moment.
Didn't the court find O.J. not guilty, abortion a federally guaranteed right, segregation legal, then illegal, .etc.
Thanks for posting this. Everyone reading this thread should be sure to check out the priests for life website.
After all your posts in the previous Terri threads of March, it's nice to note that you have now finally begun to regard her as a "victim".
That's progress. And...Who was it that 'victimized' her?
Which posts were those? Perhaps you're confused. If you look at my posts, I think you'll find I was, for the most part, on your side (her parents' side or, "her" side, if you insist).
it's nice to note that you have now finally begun to regard her as a "victim".
With that, I wasn't speaking of her specifically but rather, referring to anyone who has died by starvation.
Bump for Terri
Thanks for the post and directing me to a great website - priestsforlife.
May be never forget.
Yes, in one of the two cases against him.
abortion a federally guaranteed right,
It did. Thus, it is (for now).
segregation legal, then illegal, .etc.
It was and is no longer.
So many people think Terri's case was about the right to life. It wasn't. It wasn't even about the right to die. Terri's case was about who speaks for a person when that person is no longer able to speak for herself.
" Friends of Terri, please ignore the Terri-thread trasher newgeezer ""
No problem doing that, FUE~!! :) :) Thanks for the ping to this thread.
Speaking of trash, you might want to check this out. NBC's show, Law & Order LIED about Tom Delay and his supporters.

" I am so glad he was there at that moment. ""
Me too, 8mmMauser. Father Frank is a wonderful, caring man. I wish there were more people just like him.
I'm glad he was right there to tell the truth about what happened to Terri.
God bless them all.
Already ignoring the troll. Terri should not have died in vain.
That would be me. I still can't believe they killed her. I'm not gettin' over it any time soon.
No one says you have to "get over it" (at least, not me). There's a huge difference between "get over it" and "don't let your emotions run away with you."
Question: There's no way to "ignore" someone on FR, is there?
Which ended up costing her her life, hence the focus on right to life issues. It's sad to see so many professed Christians eager to declare "the law has spoken, the case is closed". One would think that Pilot could be reformed and that Jesus really meant to say "when I was sick, you ended my suffering by removing my feeding tube"
Be careful what you render unto Cesar.
... which, according to the court, she willingly surrendered ...
hence the focus on right to life issues.
And the equally-(un)justified focus on right-to-death issues.
sad to see so many professed Christians eager to declare "the law has spoken, the case is closed".
As I have stated numerous times in the past, I hope the fact that I have signed a Health Care Power of Attorney -- giving my wife complete authority to speak on my behalf when I am unable to speak for myself -- means that I don't have to wonder if some busy-body do-gooders (even my parents) will attempt to prolong my life if it's determined I'm in a PVS. The way so many professed Christians seem to go off the deep end in regard to this case, I have to wonder whether they think this is the greatest place we'll ever be and it only gets worse from here.
Back to the thread at hand, it seems more than a little ironic -- even ridiculous -- that someone who (allegedly, if you insist) did not want to live is, in this thread, suggested as one whose case should "light the way for people to not lose faith in their continuing effort to battle the spirits of darkness that prevails in the culture of death."
Yes, there is a culture of death. I just don't see it in this case. It boiled down to "he said, she said" and, when all is said and done, the court decided the spouse (scoundrel that he is) speaks when one cannot speak for herself. That is as it should be. Assuming Terri's enjoying the beginning of eternity in heaven, I don't have to wonder if she'd rather still be in hospice care.
You don't get off the wheel of life that easy. She's back and she's pi$$ed.
lol, at least the trolls have a purpose - they bump the threads for us. :)
I am on Father Pavone's e-mail list and stay informed!!
Anybody can go to PriestsforLife.org and sign up.
Yes. Based on one sided hearsay evidence they sentenced her to die.
What's your point?
That because this was the flavor of the day decision of the court it mades it all well and good?
This is not over by a long shot Bud.
I wish Father Pavone all the best with the Schindlers this weekend! We have not forgotten Terri and never will.
Reread your second post, reply #5 in which you say FUE is probably an "all-Terri-all-the-time gusher."
Me too, ever so glad. At least God granted Terri and the rest of us that favor!
Thanks TA, I hadn't noticed that. Thats pretty funny.
We already knew court-groupie trolls can't connect dots and
figure out anything for themselves; they just parrot 'the
court', ie: Judge Greer. It appears they can't count as high as 'two'
without judical guidance either.
Oh, you mean reply #5 in which I said FUE "might be one of those all-Terri-all-the-time gushers"? Reply #5, which was my reply to FUE after she called me "the Terri-thread trasher"?
Who, Terri Schiavo?(!)
I don't know her name at the moment, but sometimes folks remember these sort of things.
Thanks for the ping!
LOL. So, are you implying I'm pro abortion? Anyone who knows me will tell you I'm about as far from the middle of the road as you're likely to find. I am vehemently pro-life. But, unlike some, that does not mean I have allowed my emotions run amok at the expense of reason.
There is no debate on the debacle that was the Florida court system.
I have yet to have anyone make a reasonable or convincing case -- legal or moral -- for how the court could have justifiably severed the sacred marriage contract willingly entered into by Terri and her husband (scoundrel that he is).
If you're going to try to say he breached it through adultery, I'll mention that adulterous husbands are quite often forgiven by their wives and, even if they aren't, in neither case is a marriage contract declared null and void without due process of law. Forgiving wives and their adulterous husbands are not required to replace their "broken" marriage contracts. How can you be so sure Terri would not be a loving, forgiving wife?
No use stating that, "Yes, there is a culture of death. I just don't see it in this case." That statement and your characterization of your parents and Christians leaves much to be desired in trying offer defense to an abomination.
You're certainly free to express your scathing opinion. Feel free to back it up with something more than pure emotion.
I have absolutely no idea what you're typing about. Where did you toss in a "slightly different view of the life cycle"? Perhaps if you'd quoted the pertinent parts of what you replied to, this would make more sense. As it stands, your reply #26 to my post #25 makes no sense at all, and this last one did nothing to help.
I don't know her name at the moment, but sometimes folks remember these sort of things.
What "sort of things"?
You might be interested in #35.
You people really are something else. It gets richer all the time.
LOL! But newgeezer does have a point. You called him/her a name first.
-- the testimony of the man whom she married --
they sentenced her to die
sending her soul to an eternity in glory with God (that is what she believed, no?).
Thank you.
One could go back into the history of almost anyone (including myself) and find they made such comments. Such remarks are hardly the serious basis for a life and death decisions, and are far from the criteria required to meet the standard for clear and convincing evidence.
Shirley you can't be series!
That's quite all right TA, I'm still laughing that she said
her 2ND post would be a pleasant one, but she counted wrong. LOL!
Muawiyah was right, it is VERY hard to 'ignore' them.
I'll start... Here is a link that is back 'on subject'...
http://priestsforlife.org/
CALL FOR PRAYERS for the Schindlers!
Thanks FUE I was already there but will visit again! : )
>>>the criteria required to meet the standard for clear and convincing evidence.
I wish the laws were changed so that nowhere in this country a probate judge could kill someone based on just one person's opinion of the 'clear and convincing evidence'.
A serial killer gets judged 'beyond any reasonable doubt', and
if one out of the TWELVE feels otherwise, they don't execute.
