Mikey has been denying Terri flowers for years now.. along with sunlight, pictures, religious icons, random visitors..
What??? I am Jewish and not a believer in Christ. I have no idea what you are trying to say. It is meaningless to me.
Some Christians may be confused if they have not kept informed of the facts and they only listen to liberal media.
But a Christian who understands what has happened here - will bear fruit of compassion and love.
Good night, Houston.
I don't know much about Sekulow, so I don't want to criticize him. But I too have been deeply troubled by all the Monday morning quarterbacking by other "love to get my face on TV" lawyers picking apart the Schindlers' case.
I do have firsthand knowledge of the organization Gibbs volunteers through, and they are consistently on the frontlines defending pro-lifers in all those small cases that don't seem to attract enough publicity to arouse the interest of some of the big-timers. The only fault I've seen is that sometimes the attorneys who volunteer are experts in different areas of law than the one they are helping in. That could be the case with Gibbs, I don't know. But when you are someone desperate out there who needs legal help, you are grateful to have good attorneys on your side. To me, the onus was on all these brilliant conservative litigators to jump in and volunteer. If the attention of Congress and the President are grabbed to the point that they go to extraordinary lengths to pass special laws, where were these brilliant attorneys?
If later on, we find out that Gibbs turned down help, then I may have to change my mind. But as it is, I'm angry that those with experience going to the Supreme Court didn't jump in and offer help rather than criticism.
Not only that, but Greer's wife... isn't she on the Board at the hospice place Terri's at? I also heard another judge's wife (who heard this case) was or used to be, too. I bet there's a lot of conspiracy going on behind the scenes. It just has to be. But... God hears and knows ALL. They better beware... they might get away with it right now, but what goes around, comes around. I don't want to be anywhere near them when that happens.
Want the murder? Want what? Be more specific...please.
Someone else that was Jewish dropped in earlier and left a prayer for Terri too.
Not only am I evidently a Christian nut, but I also own a collection of tin foil hats that I bring out from time to time.
My thoughts are that there is a tie-in to the scientologists in the area. I'm betting you would have to open have a RICO clearinghouse if you investigated the links between the various characters trying to kill Terri, their protectors and scientology.
OH this is just awful. I had heard that if he went by the law, he would probably HAVE to order the tubes reinserted. No one, abides by the laws any more. Well I know that God is holding Mary and Bob Schindler in His care.
They have to go by the rule of law...they have to consider the new evidence (which is really old evidence that was thrown out by Greer)which will include statements from others that said Terri's wishes were opposite what Michael said they were...if they let Michael's in but not Terri's side, that would show a bias...this whole thing is mainly about Terri's alleged wishes...if there is a dispute as to that, and there is, this judge needs to set a jury trial and should have to put tube in so the plaintiff can be alive during proceedings and i am sure if tried in front of jury, we'd win. If this is not granted, I want to see for what reason, you cannot enter hearsay evidence on one side and then toss the same type of evidence for the other.
I better go to bed before I get sarcastic.
No, IMHO one cannot be a real Christian and want Terri's death.. a true Christian follows the Bible.. God does not look kindly on killing innocents.. There is no Biblical allowance for "mercy killing" which this isn't...or straight murder (which this is). He especially wouldn't look kindly on an adulterous husband trying to starve his wife to death....
I actually think it would be a beautiful thing. I think it would help morale. There must be someplace they could be placed, maybe around the perimeter or something. Or along the street sidewalk if they are not even allowed on the property!!!
They might not let it in the room, for fear someone would drain the water out of the soil for Terri :(
Should I go ahead, or wait to hear from someone who knows the actual rules? I imagine the name and address of the place are on one of these posts somewhere. I would have to look to find it.
Think that because MS is Terri's guardian, and has said she wouldn't want to live this way, that it is perfectly okay to starve her to death, despite the fact that she is (or was) not terminal.
But you still have prayer.. we've had Jewish Freepers add their special prayers to ours.... believing that this ACTION (and prayer is an action) is very very powerful..
That's an easy answer. There was a thread a few days back. He preyed on a young woman who had low self esteem. After marriage, they lived with her parents. While dating he used HER Trans Am to take her out. Her parents had a successful business. In other words, he had nada. Zip. Zilch.
He had nothing. What does he have now?
Nope. I for one do NOT think it's the right thing to do. She's being murdered, in front of our eyes...
No. Not right.
Thanks for your insight. Yes. That's it.
20/20 hindsight from the other lawyers.
I have great respect for Gibbs because his heart went ahead of his pocketbook.
I think it's not only unkind for the other lawyers to be henpecking now, but it's unprofessional.
I find it especially nauseating that Sekulow spoke so callously without emotion about this case - when on Sean Hannity. I'm sure others noticed it too. I can't give details, but he has a history.....but he's good at creating a good media image and unfortunately, that's what most people look at nowadays.
