Meek thanks for all the work you do on this site. You are appreciated.

[CharacterCounts]

You should really do the decent thing and let your bullcrap rest for a few hours.

"She is not the Messiah, but she IS a martyr."

Yes, she is and in that she is part of the BODY OF CHRIST. She has partaken in the FOUNTAIN OF IMMORTALITY and her crown awaits her for all eternity.

God bless her dear Mother and Father. How they fought to save her mortal life.....she will know this and she will pray for them in Heaven.

[clee1]

Just Damn.

RIP, Terri. Your death will not be in vain.

[ClintonBeGone]

No, they were not. Here brother and sister were allowed in up to 10 minutes before she passed. Her brother stated that they all wanted to be with her when she died, and Michael said they were not allowed.

That's just disgusting. How do monsters like this come to be?

[Isara]

So many people at this time are materialistic, devoid of morality. They see human beings as a machine. Let hope that some disasters beyond our imagination won't happen before the collapse of this material world to give way to pure and spiritual light.

[keysguy]

Why don't you go back to the DU where you belong.

[MoefromMs]

She was starved to death in your country! If you don't think that is remarkable then get off this post and let those of us who are mourning her murder and the death of freedom in this counrty do so without you.

[traderrob6]

A sad day for every person and our country as a whole more here

[harpo11]

Michael was the last person she'd ever want to be with. Can you imagine his was the last face she saw. How utterly sadistic.

[Diogenesis]

I really like your posts and value your wisdom.
But you are WRONG WRONG WRONG.

This is the system that led to 950 stolen FBI files ... nothing

Sandy Berger Burglar .... nothing.

Murder of Handicapped begging for her life ... nothing.

Open borders with attacks on those who defend it .... on and on and on.

[trickyricky]

You're absolutely right.
This is not America!
It's AMERIKA.

[itsinthebag]

Terri died 15 years ago, likely because of her self-inflicted abuse via eating disorder (ironic, no?).

How do you know that?

[AZConcervative]

I am sad to say that "christians" on both sides of this issue are not showing real well right now...

Yours in Christ-

For some of the folks on the daily Terri threads, something God gave me last night...

Isaiah 40:1 Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God.
2 Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she hath received of the LORD'S hand double for all her sins.
3 The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.
4 Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain:
5 And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.
6 The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field:
7 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit of the LORD bloweth upon it: surely the people is grass.
8 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.
9 O Zion, that bringest good tidings, get thee up into the high mountain; O Jerusalem, that bringest good tidings, lift up thy voice with strength; lift it up, be not afraid; say unto the cities of Judah, Behold your God!
10 Behold, the Lord GOD will come with strong hand, and his arm shall rule for him: behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him.
11 He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young.
12 Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and meted out heaven with the span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance?
13 Who hath directed the Spirit of the LORD, or being his counsellor hath taught him?
14 With whom took he counsel, and who instructed him, and taught him in the path of judgment, and taught him knowledge, and shewed to him the way of understanding?
15 Behold, the nations are as a drop of a bucket, and are counted as the small dust of the balance: behold, he taketh up the isles as a very little thing.
16 And Lebanon is not sufficient to burn, nor the beasts thereof sufficient for a burnt offering.
17 All nations before him are as nothing; and they are counted to him less than nothing, and vanity.
18 To whom then will ye liken God? or what likeness will ye compare unto him?
19 The workman melteth a graven image, and the goldsmith spreadeth it over with gold, and casteth silver chains.
20 He that is so impoverished that he hath no oblation chooseth a tree that will not rot; he seeketh unto him a cunning workman to prepare a graven image, that shall not be moved.
21 Have ye not known? have ye not heard? hath it not been told you from the beginning? have ye not understood from the foundations of the earth?
22 It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:
23 That bringeth the princes to nothing; he maketh the judges of the earth as vanity.
24 Yea, they shall not be planted; yea, they shall not be sown: yea, their stock shall not take root in the earth: and he shall also blow upon them, and they shall wither, and the whirlwind shall take them away as stubble.
25 To whom then will ye liken me, or shall I be equal? saith the Holy One.
26 Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these things, that bringeth out their host by number: he calleth them all by names by the greatness of his might, for that he is strong in power; not one faileth.
27 Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel, My way is hid from the LORD, and my judgment is passed over from my God?
28 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.
29 He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.
30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:
31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

I get this feeling that the cause Terri's bulimia - the cause of her heart attack and brain-death - was her mom's constant need for control.

SICK

[BureaucratusMaximus]

As usual, another TS thread on FR (hopefully one of the last) turns into a emotional kook circus.

I hope her soul is at rest.

Kudos to the Mods for getting rid of the lithium-induced keywords.

[eastsider]

Domine, Jesu Christe, Rex gloriae,
libera animas omnium fidelium defunctorum
de poenis inferni, et de profundo lacu:
libera eas de ore leonis,
ne absorbeat eas tartarus, ne cadant in obscurum,
sed signifer sanctus Michael
repraesentet eas in lucem sanctam,
quam olim Abrahae promisisti
et semini ejus.

(Lord Jesus Christ, King of glory,
deliver the souls of all the faithful departed
from the pains of hell and from the bottomless pit.
Deliver them from the lion's mouth.
Neither let Tarturus swallow them up nor let them fall into darkness
But let St. Michael, Thy standard-bearer,
lead them into the holy light
which once Thou didst promise to Abraham
and his seed.)

Lord, grant eternal rest to our departed sister, Terri.

#1. It's supposed to be God's call when her life should end. Not Michael Schiavo's.

#2. It's supposed to be God's call when her life should end. Not Michael Schiavo's.

She wasn't dying until they withheld her food and water.

People like you can argue that black is white and red is blue but there is one thing you must remember:

There is only one God and there is only one truth. His truth. No one else's opinion or "truth" counts in the end.

They should have chosen life! Now I am afraid for what might happen in this country. The immediate aftermath of this by people and the long term effect.

I wonder if the UN Human Rights Council will have us up on Human Rights complaints? Not that it matters, I'm just wondering. What irony.

[EternalVigilance]

Not just during her final hours. He controlled their access throughout. They had to undergo a humiliating search every time they were allowed in as well. God forbid they would bring an ice chip in for her parched lips and swollen tongue.

Barbarism has come to America...and it will never be the same.
