Per Foxnews Alert.

The Parents of Terri Schiavo have been told that they will not be allowed to see Terri again. Michael intends on spending the remaining time with Terri.

The Family even offered to be in the same room with Michael if that is the only way they could be with their daughter when she died, but Michael has rejected the request.

The Family has been told that they will not be allowed to see her again. ______________________________

Breaking: News announcing that Terri Schiavo has passed away. Prayers up.

Further update: The family requested to be with her as her condition worsened. They were told they could not, that Michael Schiavo would be the only one in with Terri during an assessment of her condition by her physician.

Her parents left and then were called back almost immediately. Immediate family members were allowed in with her after she passed away.

Having been familiar with hospice and from personal experience with how they usher in the death process there is no doubt in my mind that they gave her a dose of morphine that in the last minutes to hasten her death.

Sadly, I, too, have had this experience. I'm sure that's why they wanted the parents out of the room. And why Michael, often absent, wanted to be present, to be sure it was done and she was finally gone. She's held on amazingly long. I just hope that if that's what they did, they did indeed wait until the last moment and not just claim falsely to end the attempts by her parents (doomed, no doubt) to seek legal means of reinserting the tube. It's just too bad that the last persons to be with her in this life were those hell bent on her demise.

As my grandfather used to say, "Good, now we know who is really with us, and who is using us".

Terri's martyrdom is a watershed. May God have mercy on us.

The Lord told us to love and not hate our enemies. These last few weeks I haven't be able to do that all the time. The pure hatred I expected, what bothers me is the apathy. How can you say "Oh well, that is to bad. Is the game on?"

May God have mercy on Michael.

This country has changed, and so has this forum, and neither will ever again attain its former glory.

My bride told me last night at supper. "What did you expect? You are the one that keeps telling me that the Kingdom of Jesus is not of this world. Why are you surprised to see whose kingdom the world really is?"

Perhaps because I had faith in our leaders to not travel down that dark road again. Perhaps because I wanted some shallow comfort here. Either way it was because I forgot the true meaning of the Theology of the Cross.

The world will hate those who belong to God, because man prefers darkness to light. Man wants to full fill his desires and not worry about the consequences. In here, it was putting in motion a way of eliminating the economic drain of the "unfit".

But I realize that once you start defining who is and is not worthy of life, the road leads one place. This country has been in its twilight for a long time. May God have mercy, but I think the night is soon going to be here. May God give us the strength to persavere.

My heart goes out to Terri and her family. M. Schiavo is pond scum. This is all a national disgrace.

"I see there are 397 posts ahead of this one so it might not be read at all.
But in the Lord's infinite mercy, there is always an opportunity for repentance.
My prayer is that He have mercy on the souls of all involved. Terri, her family, Michael, the lawyer, the judge and anyone else."

I read it E-O

Amen.

You bet!

Allot of "Christians" don't accept that or even know that. They have in mind a utopia of sorts on earth that they created. They couldn't be more wrong.

I also believe it's VERY possible His second coming is not too far off. When Israel became a state ... that was a history making milestone in prophecy.

It's a paradox. As things get darker, His coming gets closer.

Wake up Sleeping Beauty. The worst part is this poor girl has just been through a state sanctioned torture death.

What did you want them united around killing her gently?

Here's my problem with this: Michael Schiavo is "sure" Terri is in persistent vegetative state, no awareness, doesn't respond, etc. If he is so sure, what possible difference could it make if he is with her when she dies? She won't know anyway, according to him. Yet her family, who would derive comfort from holding her as she passes from this world, are barred. Typical Michael Schiavo: it's all about him. I'd like to see a poll: who should have been with Terri when she died? The husband who is adamant that she knows nothing, feels nothing, sees nothing, is aware of nothing... or the family who believes she responds to them, who believe they can comfort her, and who believe she hears them? If Michael Schiavo is so sure Terri wasn't aware of anything, why is it so important to be there, at the cost of excluding her parents and siblings?

Right on.....and you can most likely include a lot of the hospice administrators, doctors, judges, LE, and the like in your comment.

So many Clearwater professional people, trades people and business owners (and employees) are dependent for a large portion of their income on the sheer numbers and overwhelming presence of the Scientologists who have flooded this small city.

I know, I live 15 minutes from Clearwater and have friends who have lived there for decades.

I believe this is true. An important lesson I personally have learned now is that no matter how much I love this country, our hope is not in our country or any government. Although we must stand up and fight for righteousness, ultimately God is the only One we can look to. We all must choose this day whom we will serve.

I saw Michael on television leaving the hospice. He was chuckling and smiling as he talked to the people who were with him.

Michael Schiavo's attorney has - what many would call - "strange" affiliations, interests, and beliefs. Here are a couple of links:

[1] Investigative Group To Expose Schiavo’s Lawyer’s “Voices”
spirit daily ^ | 3/28/05 | by Trimelda C. McDaniels
Posted on 03/28/2005 7:14:06 PM EST by molli mi
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/1372634/posts

"Excerpt:
George Felos is not just a lawyer for Michael Schiavo in the Terri Schiavo “right to die” case. He heads a religious organization that believes death by dehydration and starvation is a religious solution for the severely disabled. Felos knows this because he hears voices that tell him when someone wants to die this way and this is his gift as an agent of God.
This information comes from Shadow Rose, a small non-profit investigative group incorporated in Idaho that focuses on domestic violence and sexual abuse. The head of the organization, Trimelda C. McDaniels, found this information in Mr. Felos’ book, “Litigation As Spiritual Practice," (Blue Dolphin Publishing –2002) and feels that his role as a lawyer in the Schiavo case is based upon his religious beliefs that the removal of feeding tubes from the disabled are a form of profound, religious expression.
“Felos clearly states that he hears voices in his head that tell him when someone wants to die this way,” Mc Daniels said. “ He is adamant about being used by God to help people out of their bodies into the next world by removal of feeding tubes and even ‘willing’ them to die with his mind.” [snip]

[2] In his book, Felos claims to hear the voices of the comatose asking for "release"

Exerpts from the reviews on Amazon:

About the Jews, George Felos wrote, "The Jewish people, long ago in their collective consciousness, agreed to play the role of the lamb whose slaughter was necessary to shock humanity into a new moral consciousness. Their sacrifice saved humanity at the brink of extinction and propelled us into a new age." (pg 240)

Felos further wrote, "If our minds can conceive of an uplifting Holocaust, can it be so diffucult to look another way at the slights and injuries and abuses we perceive were inflicted upon us?" (pg 240)

Describing the period he was separated from his ex-wife, "that weekend I experienced rage. Savage, unadulterated, and murderous rage." (pg 6)

Felos wrote about his ex-wife, "To her, I seemed unattractive, sexually unexciting, balding, boring, and just not enough fun to be with....she didn't need me anymore. For her, marriage to me inflicted a fate worse than death. She admitted that for the past year or so she had wished for my death, and whenever I flew hoped the plane would crash." (pg 7)

About his anger towards his ex-wife, "I was on fire, fueled by thoughts of bludgeoning and tearing her apart." (pg 23)

Describing the period he was recuperating from his divorce, "it consisted mostly of dreams of being tormented in some inferno." (pg 27)

"Mrs Browning, do you want to die? Do you want to die? - I nearly shouted as I continued to peer into her pools of strikingly beautiful but incognizant blue. It felt so eerie." (pg 63)

"Whatever your opinion about tube feeding, the hard fact was it now stood between Mrs. Browning and her death." (pg 64)

“As Mrs. Browning lay motionless before my gaze, I suddenly heard a loud, deep moan, scream, and wondered if the nursing home personnel heard it and would respond to the unfortunate resident In the next moment, as this cry of pain and torment continued, I realized it was Mrs. Browning. I felt the mid-section of my body open and noticed a strange quality to the light in the room. I sensed her soul in agony. As she screamed I heard her say, in confusion, ‘Why am I still here … why am I here?’ My soul touched hers and in some way, I communicated that she was still locked in her body. I promised I would do everything in my power to gain the release her soul cried for. With that the screaming immediately stopped. I felt like I was back in my head again, the room resumed its normal appearance, and Mrs. Browning, as she had throughout this experience, lay silent. “I knew without a doubt what had transpired was real and dispelled the thought as intellect’s attempt to assert its own version of reality.”

(pg 73)

While on a plane trip, Felos thought "I wonder what it would be like to die right now?" (pg 181)

Felos felt that God told him, "You are more powerful than you realize." (pg 182)

About the Estelle Browning case, "I still got a kick that evening seeing myself on the TV news, notwithstanding my frequently displayed countenance in the media of late."

"If I had to urinate, I didn't wait until the next commercial, I immediately got up and went. On the first urge to defecate, I left for the bathroom rather than making one more phone call." (pg 292)

"I can truly say my wife was enamored with me. I suppose power and success really are potent aphrodisiacs-as my spouse had made particularly evident our previous night at the Governor's Inn. " (pg 246)

I am listening to Fox news this am. A news person just said that Terri's brother and sister were with her just prior to her death, around 10am, and were ushered out of the room at about 10 am for medical personnel to do an 'assessment'. That is when she died, apparently just moments after the sibs were ushered out. I suspect we were right. Fox says they are working to verify the story and get 'the other side'. Hmmm...

"[If death is never God's will] Then why does anyone die?"

Ever heard of "the fall" of man in Eden?

That's where man was first tempted to "play God", made the wrong choice, and found out the hard way where "self" righteousness (moral relativism) leads. Death.

I consider it another "separate the sheep from the goats" situation.

It is indeed chilling to see so many support the horrid murder of an innocent helpless woman. All "legal" and state authorized.
