It is very discouraging, I know, when you know the truth and you set out to inform others. My experience, in this case, has been that the people I talk to had no idea that they were being misled about what was actually wrong with Terri. On the other hand, it is very disheartening when you see that something is very wrong and that if the wrong isn't set right that there could be grave consequences, and you set out to right that wrong, thinking that if the people only knew the truth they would choose to do what is right, only to discover that they won't hear you. They ignore our voices at their own peril. When I become discouraged by the seemingly overwhelming odds against Terri and against those of us who have sought to be her voice against the forces that have come against her, I am reminded of this passage from Ezekial and I know that I am doing what I am supposed to do. I can do no less nor more, other than to put my faith in the One who is the defender of the innocent.

'If I bring a sword upon a land, and the people of the land take one man from among them and make him their watchman, and he sees the sword coming upon the land and blows on the trumpet and warns the people, then he who hears the sound of the trumpet and does not take warning, and a sword comes and takes him away, his blood will be on his {own} head. 'He heard the sound of the trumpet but did not take warning; his blood will be on himself. But had he taken warning, he would have delivered his life. 'But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet and the people are not warned, and a sword comes and takes a person from them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood I will require from the watchman's hand.' (Exek. 33:2b-6)

You can say that again. I was talking w/a friend in the grocery store parking lot and this subject came up. She only knew what she'd heard on the alphabet soup networks. She thought Terri had a heart attack, was in a coma and brain dead and thus figured her parents were just having a hard time letting go. Once I told her some background and Terri's actual condition, she was aghast that the media would lie and distort this woman's condition so. I have replayed this scene over and over again with other friends as well. The deliberate misinformation that the major media is putting out is, in my opinion, nothing short of accomplices to murder.
