Free Republic

"Perhaps because I had faith in our leaders to not travel down that dark road again. Perhaps because I wanted some shallow comfort here."..."I think the night is soon going to be here. May God give us the strength to persavere."

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.

Well said.
I believe one thing that has come out of this tragedy & evil injustice is that folks are being forced to choose (life or death; good or evil). There is room for debate on many issues, but not on this one when all the facts were known. There was no middle ground; what was done was wrong. Period.

Why don't you all just ignore Chad. You're giving him what he wants - attention.

Now that this slow motion murder is complete, I fervently pray that the truth about all guilty parties will come to light. God bless the Schindler family for fighting so valiantly until the end.

Lord, I Believe In You

Though I can't see Your holy face
And Your throne in heaven above
It seems so far away
Though I cant touch your nail scarred hands
I have a deep and unspeakable joy
That makes my faith to stand

Lord, I believe in You
I'll always believe in You
Though I cant see you with my eyes
Deep in my heart
Your presence I find
Lord, I believe in You
And I'll keep my trust in You
Let the whole world say what they may
No one can take this joy away
Lord, I believe

Born from above
You are Gods only chosen one
Youre the one and only true way
To the Fathers heart
You died for all sin
Then you rose and now live again
Conquering death and the grave
So that I might live

Lord, I believe in You
I'll always believe in You
Though I cant see you with my eyes
Deep in my heart
Your presence I find
Lord, I believe in You
And I'll keep my trust in You
Let the whole world say what they may
No one can take this joy away
Lord, I believe

"Where it was once done under the cover of darkness, evil is done in the sunlight now"

And so few recognize it as such! That is terrifying & discouraging to me. I am a Christian, but one should not have to be "religious" to see the blatant evil & injustice that is happening in front of us in a "slow motion murder".

Amen, Rob. I was appalled when I read the statement from the college as well. Unbelievable.

"What shocks me is how ignorant the public is about what i REALLY happening here!!!"

Yes, I contiue to hear and read the same myths and lies perpetuated, such as "Terri has been in a Persistant Vegetative State for 15 years" blah, blah. She is NOT! If they would take 5 minutes to actually read the description of a PVS, it is so clear that she is not in one!

Some are ignorant, and some are apathetic maybe because they have no hope in their lives (y'know..."eat, drink & be merry, for tomorrow we die.").

"At least Jesse is DOING something very good (and I don't care what his motives are...he may be quite sincere...how could a NORMAL person not see this is outrageous!)"

Yes, and as others have said, I do not CARE if it turned out Jesse is doing this to be in the spotlight (though I'm not assuming that to be the case). God can use anything and anyone, and there is a whole lot of TRUTH coming out of Mr. Jackson's mouth.

Does anyone have an e-mail address for JJ? I realize he's on the road, but I'd like to commend his efforts and perhaps his office could relay it to him (that he has peoples' support).

You all may have seen this article/interview with Felos - but I think it's very important. This "antichrist" believes that he has the power, just by looking into someone's eyes, to know if they want to live or die. (shudder).

"Lord, we lift Terri up to you right now. We thank you for her grit and determination and her courageous spirit. We ask, Lord, that you will feed her with food they can't see and give her water they know nothing about. Keep her organs functioning and healthy, and don't allow the doctors to try to hasten her death. If they try, let the attempt fail, Most High. We pray for Terri's protection, we pray for her health, and we pray you will send someone to intervene and save her now. In Jesus name."

AMEN

Lord, forgive me - Felos brings out the hate in me.

He is practicing his "religion":

"It's just barbaric. We're all going about our lives waiting to hear she has died. And instead of this death vigil being about someone we could not save, it is about someone we could save but is dying from a deliberate killing."

I agree, and I'm having trouble focusing on anything BUT this. My work is piling up (& people around me are getting tired of hearing me talk about it) because I can't just "get on with things" while this crime is being permitted. Michael Savage put it perfectly when he said "I feel like I'm watching a murder in slow motion."

I just called the number for Rep Davis and was told that "due to several recent court decisions the hearing referenced in the subpoena has been postponed so the people subpoened are relieved of their obligation to appear."

I am fuming. I thought the reason they subpoened Terri (just before her forced starvation began) was to put a method in place to possibly save her. I told him this and he gave me blather about how they will be rescheduling the hearing in the future to dicuss long term health care issues relating in part to the Schiavo case. GRrrrr!

I'm sorry if this has already been discussed, but I don't see any threads on it.

Did anyone hear about the letters delivered to Jeb Bush in October 2003 from very credible attorneys, outlining why under the law, he has the authority to take Terri into custody? I didn't see anything on Savage's website, but I heard it on his show last night & here is a link that discusses the letters http://www.lifesite.net/ldn/2003/oct/03101605.html

Does the governor think that no one will hold him at least partially responsible if he knew this and didn't act?

"I find it an especially cruel touch on Judge Greer's part to order her tube taken out 7 days before Good Friday and 10 days before Easter"


Also points to the obvious fact (IMO) that there is a huge spiritual battle going on here.

FYI -
I heard one of the lawyers for the parents (Barbara Wells, I think?) on the Dennis Prager show. She indicated that in addition to appealing to the Supreme Court, they have also filed an appeal with the entire panel of judges in the appeals court (whereas it was originally only ruled on by 3 judges). They believe that gives them a better chance for a favorable ruling. She also said that they probably wouldn't hear back on that one until the morning. I pray Terri's weakening life will last that long.

I am not sleeping and have heard the same from many others. This is affecting everyones' conscience (those who still listen to their conscience that is).

Those are absolutely beautiful posies, Mozie. I can't believe I forgot your name in my original hello post.

How is my fellow autumn-lover? Having lots of "normal" days I hope.

(Go Chargers!)

Very interesting.

I do hear him mention Free Republic and he appreciates us as listeners 'cause he'll say things like "I wish someone over there at Free Republic would post/link (such & such) article"

Nope. Haven't "plugged" you on the radio lately.

Speaking of his show, are you still listening to it and if so, have you heard his regular interviews with Yoni, the former Israeli military guy? He has said that his gut tells him the sniper(s) is foreign terrorism.
