>> When you decide to make your private life public you have given away the “it’s their business”.<<

So long as no one interferes with them nor advocates interfering I suppose you are right.

I may disagree with their decision but I uphold their right to do what they propose.

[freedumb2003]

Ah, that Culture of Death liberty again, where people become objects decide their own destinies.

FIFY

[PapaNew]

My wife and I will pray for you and your husband and that your husband will be healed.

[ansel12]

Actually the left preaches this and is fighting for it as a part of their culture of death, so defend it or not, but don’t deny who you are aligned with, and they aren’t deciding their destiny, they are merely killing themselves, their destiny after that will be decided for them.

what suicide? you are talking about the movie, yes? i never read the book, so for all i know, it could have been a joint suicide... but in the movie, i saw no indication of suicide... they were both terribly ill... and both hated being a part from the other...

i know of a few couples who have died in short time... one where the wife died on a Tuesday, and by Saturday the husband died--natural causes... another where they died within 5 months of each other and another where they died within 10 months of each other... so i took this to be a story a long those lines--only fantasy at the end where they died during the same night...

"Notebook" went south for me when he shoves her off to a nursing home at her first stage of Alzheimer's. Seems he could have easily hired a live in aide - or a 'daytime aide' - allowing her much more time at home. He didn't even wait until the going got tough -

but he lived there too... their children wanted him to come back home, but he would not leave her... you didn't realized he lived there too? he was about as patient as anyone could be...

[PapaNew]

A strong implication came across to me in the movie that he went into his wife’s room to die with her and it seems to sympathize with the idea. That part seemed like an affirmation of our pro-death popular culture.

Only an atheist would believe you “FIFY.” Sad soul, I believe so much more than that, don’t you know.

[ravenwolf]

This couple must have had a pretty good life together as they do not want to be with out each other.

They obviously was not afraid to live but now that it is about over they are not afraid to die, I say may God bless them.

[freedumb2003]

>>Only an atheist would believe you “FIFY.” <<

Wrong. You can’t keep your theology out of other people’s liberty. If you want to start a theocracy, there are plenty of places outside the USA where you can.

>>Sad soul, I believe so much more than that, don’t you know.<<

And I know more than you would believe.

>>Actually the left preaches this and is fighting for it as a part of their culture of death, so defend it or not, but don’t deny who you are aligned with<<

It always saddens me when we resort to straw men here on FR.

You are, of course, 100% wrong...

I will just ask this question, who is in trouble, the Christian who is not afraid to die or the one who would do anything to stay alive a little longer?.

[GeronL]

That is a bit off-topic.

This couple isn’t dying.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

No.

[ansel12]

I’m 100% correct.

This is a generations old leftwing goal, you cannot deny who you are aligned with on this major portion of the left’s culture of death.

[ansel12]

If you are going to preach Christian, then why not at least get on topic, is the Christian in trouble who values life and God’s word, or the ones who want to kill themselves in suicide pacts?

[ravenwolf]

That is a bit off-topic.

This couple isn’t dying.

I disagree, they are dyeing and they know it..

[ravenwolf]

If you are going to preach Christian, then why not at least get on topic,

I did not know I was preaching but if you think it was then maybe you should go listen to a few real sermons.

is the Christian in trouble who values life and God’s word, or the ones who want to kill themselves in suicide pacts?>>>>>

But since you brought it up why don1t you go to chapter and verse and maybe I can do the same.

[ansel12]

I will just ask this question, who is in trouble, the Christian who is not afraid to die or the one who would do anything to stay alive a little longer?.

Go ahead and explain to us where Christian couples should kill themselves in pairs to avoid natural deaths from old age.
