Continuation of Terri Schiavo daily March threads. Due to overwhelming participation we reached over 5000 posts in three days time!
It was posted here as a news report, I believe. I read so fast to cover all the material, I don't know the source. Some of our FReeepers, like amdgmary and chocolate rose post those ongoing news items, and I saw that he reportedly said these things in the courtroom. All I know about it...
The 4th Chapter of St. Paul's Letter to the Ephesians:
1I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,
2With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;
3Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
4There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;
5One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
6One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
7But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
8Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.
9(Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?
10He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)
11And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
12For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
13Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
14That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
15But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:
16From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.
17This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind,
18Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:
19Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
20But ye have not so learned Christ;
21If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:
22That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
23And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
24And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
25Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.
26Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:
27Neither give place to the devil.
28Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.
29Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.
30And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
31Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:
32And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
I agree. God only knows what this judge is thinking.

FOX NEWS is definately slanted toward Felos and HINO. It's an outrage and I've written them emails telling them so. I've also included links to sites that tell the facts. I've sent the EmpireJournal link and etc.
The last time Terri was Starved and went without Water, I realized how hedious the MSM really is. They distort the facts towards and in favor of THE CULTURE OF DEATH!!!!
I have faith in God, but not in our courts.
Well, i hope he makes a decisions pretty quickly one way or the other and how do we know that Atlanta would insert the feeinding tube if it is appealed to them? And why? And how fast would it take for the appeals court in Atlanta to issue the ruling? Hopefully a lot faster than this crazy judge today! I can't believe he is taking his time like this. Has he no sense?
As a Christian I have a responsibility to speak the truth.
You are the one that opened it up by your statement, and I will not have anyone think that it says in the Bible that they are guilty of an unforgivable sin for being in despair.
The Bible is just as much worth defending as Terri is!
A person's eternal fate is very serious!
I pray Bush does move.
Harden the hearts of the Judicial Oligarchy.
If the Bushes (and it would be Jeb backed by George) are willing and forced to act it will stike judicial tyranny to the core. Even SCOTUS would not be able to make arbitrary decisions in the WoT without considering that if the President can make a case to 34 senators he is willing and able to defy them. Not since Andrew Jackson in 1831 has the Court had to consider the impact of its decisions. It would resonate for a century.
That is what could be at stake over Terri Schiavo.
OUTRAGEOUS!!!!!
I'm not from Florida, and TAdams8591 provided the list of FL politicians to me.
The only number I know is 701, unless there is another one.
TAdams: Please confirm for eeevil conservative.
Absolutley!!!!!
Absolutley!!!!!
I think that is a bad idea. It's not like calling our electeds or even calling penny ante Greer. We could do a lot of damage pestering this judge.
I have faith in God but none in our justice system.
NO....Don't call the Judge!
I phoned him this morning to make exactly THAT request.
Is there a time limit on how long he can sit on this?
I hope Terri knows how much she is loved.
Someone said that Greer was in that courtroom today but I haven't been able to get anyone to confirm it
Somehow I think she does.
Well, several of us think he is doing it on purpose because it looks that way. We will change our mind if he changes. All I know is that insiders seem to think Atlanta has judges that would handle this. They told some FReeper on the phone at a congressman's office that six judges in Atlanta stood by in the middle of last night to receive the case and act quickly on the emergency aspect, in case the first Federal judge made a quick, adverse, appealable ruling. That is all i remember. But this judge's stalling has prevented all of them.
