I can't stand it when people make fun of the Schindler's. Felos, the monster, said they were being "dramatic" when they complain about Terri's condition. I can't stand it!! God have mercy on us all.
According to them you don't really die, your soul goes and finds another vessel, or body.
Hmmmm.... I wonder if Nicole Kidman's body is available, if I leave sooner than expected?
Sorry... after a week of praying and fasting for Terri, I can use a bit of levity at the moment.
God Bless.
I got first dibs on her body!
Yes on both counts. Kirstie Alley, Jenna Elfman and a bunch of other stars are into it. I 'think' Greta Van Susteren is a Scientologist. She is an intelligent woman so I have hopes for her. She'd make a nice Catholic.
Explains why they look like a bunch of zombies! Seriously, that is one of their milder doctrines.
I wonder if Nicole Kidman's body is available,
lol ;-)
She was a Scientologist. I think she reverted back to Catholicism with her children.
I can't imagine watching your own child be killed and not being able to stop it though they wore themselves ragged trying .
If I had to go threw that I don't know what I would do, but it would be more than sarcastic as this poor man is accused of.
The last picture I've seen of Terri's poor mom looked terrible, trust me, she has no spirit to live herself, I recognize that look, because I saw it every morning for years.
Every one here would be the same (or worse) if their child were being killed for no reason, so why is it so hard to understand these people need compassion and prayers, not criticism!
SHAME SHAME SHAME!!
I reckon it looks better on you anyway.
I sure hope so.
The self-righteous ridiculing the arrogant. quite a show...that is, if he had been arrogant to begin with.
I was listening to Brother Paul, who has been one of the spiritual advisors for the Schindlers, and on today's Hannity radio show he's convinced that prayers are helping Terri.
Where is your buddy Tetzel?
I requested your post be pulled. It was completely out of line.
An amazing feat for someone gone for so long without water or nourisment.
God will not be mocked. We may not see fully what is intended, but God's will shall resound.
God Bless.
Not my turn to watch him.
Excerpt:
After spending half her life as a member of the Church of Scientology, Lisa McPherson told friends she was ready to get out. At 36, she yearned to reunite with her mom and old friends and start a new life in Dallas. She hoped to visit them at Thanksgiving and vowed to be home for good by last Christmas. (Tampa Tribune, December 15, 1996)
A woman [Lisa McPherson ] involved in a minor traffic accident sheds her clothes and walks nude down the street. Police take her to the hospital to see a psychiatric nurse, and against medical advice she leaves with friends. Those friends take her to their church. Seventeen days later, they drive her to a hospital more than 20 miles away in another county. The woman is dead on arrival. . . (SP Times, December 18, 1996)
A lawsuit filed Wednesday alleges that the Church of Scientology is responsible for the death of Lisa McPherson, who died in 1995 while in the care of church members... The lawsuit was filed in Hillsborough Circuit Court by Tampa lawyer Ken Dandar, an attorney representing McPherson's estate. It promises to seek "substantial" punitive and compensatory damages against the church. (SP Times February 20, 1997)
Police say McPherson, 36, entered the Fort Harrison Hotel, Scientology's Clearwater headquarters, in November 1995. They say she was physically healthy but psychologically disturbed. Seventeen days later she died. An autopsy determined her death was due to a blood clot brought on by ``severe dehydration'' and ``bed rest.'' Pinellas-Pasco Medical Examiner Joan Wood has said the medical evidence indicates McPherson went without fluids for five to 10 days, possibly longer, and was comatose for at least 24 hours before she died. Bites on her hands were most likely made by cockroaches, Wood has said. (Tampa Tribune, June 1, 1997)
Police have recommended criminal charges in the case of a Scientologist who died in 1995 after spending 17 days at a church retreat. A prosecution summary delivered Monday to Pinellas-Pasco State Attorney Bernie McCabe recommends charges in the death of Lisa McPherson, said Clearwater Deputy Police Chief Paul Maser, who would not discuss specifics of the case. (Associated Press, December 16, 1997)
McPherson, 36, died in 1995 while in the care of fellow Scientologists, who isolated her in a room at the church's Fort Harrison Hotel, forced medications on her and waited too long to take her to a hospital when she became ill, according to an affidavit that accompanied the charging documents Friday in Pinellas-Pasco Circuit Court. (SP Times, November 15, 1998) Link
Lisa McPherson's death:
The following is an electronic copy of the coroner's report concerning Lisa McPherson, a Scientologist whose mysterious death -- and the Church of Scientology's opposition to the continued police investigation into her death -- has caused some controversy, both on the Internet and in the community of Clearwater, Florida, the home of the Church of Scientology's spirital Mecca.
Of note is the cause of death. The Scientologists first informed McPherson's family that she had died of a fast-acting meningitis; later, they blamed a blood clot which travelled from a bruise on her leg to her lungs. Their final story was that she had died of complications from a staphylococcus infection which, they said, explained the bruises on her body. Although no staph infection is mentioned in the report, the medical examiner stated that her death was in no way related to a staph infection. REPORT OF AUTOPSY
What exactly do they believe?
Got this info:
Scientology is a religion invented by L. Ron Hubbard, a science fiction writer who died in 1986. It is a mixture of the 'science of mental health' and religious philosophy. They believe that through their technologies and practices they can, through their own effort, achieve immortality and spiritual fulfillment.The official numbers put the church as "ministering to some 8 million people in more than 100 countries", although how many of those 8 million are active Scientologists is not mentioned.
The upper teachings of Scientology are similar to those of a UFO based religion. They teach that Earth is a prison planet, home to the souls of millions of murdered intergalactic beings. They teach that an evil galactic overload named Xenu had them all killed in order to solve a massive overcrowding problem. This is known as Incident 2. This is not a joke. These are the actual teachings of Scientology. Ex-members have confirmed it.
Scientology claims to be compatible with all religions. This section looks at that claim, with a special focus on how it relates to orthodox Christianity.
L. Ron Hubbard, the creator of Scientology claims:
The the reason for the Islamic faith was because the trade in Mohammed's town wasn't very good, so he invented the faith to "boost" it a little
That man invented God
That there was no Christ
The Christian faith is part of an implant, a false memory planted by an evil space alien
Say that because Scientology and Christianity disagree, the Christian religion cannot be true
Have been nearly run down by a train on Venus. (yes, the planet Venus - i kid you not).
You want a woman's body? Lol
I am not that brave...
I just thought I'd admire it for awhile. LOL ;)
So... if Scientologists believe they can achieve immortality, how come their founder is...shall we say... dead?
Darn that Xenu.
Had all these intergalatic beings killed?
Probably couldn't find a good burger of Venus, so he sent them here to find one.
