Christian Responsibility for the Terri Schiavos of the world

Terri Schiavo has stayed for free at the Woodside Hospice - part of a not-for-profit hospice network - because she was considered indigent, Bushnell said.

-Terri Schiavo's medical costs - which Bushnell says are relatively small - have been paid for the past couple of years by the state's Medicaid program for needy people. APNEWS

 

And he got how much money that was supose to go for taking care of her?

 

You mean the money he's spending to kill her? Gives a new meaning to 'hush money', eh Donna?

 

Good! if the churches in this country want
to fund those who are in need in this country
they should be able to do so..now that they
say yes to it..Church leadership that covers
the spectrum of denominations in this country
should unite to help them express that.

and it would still be under the auspices of
secret giving run by the local church.

Then the world would see for sure our testimony
we really have taken value and placed it on
what we value.

I think everyone would like to see a massive wave
of openings of food banks,clinics,and hospice
outreach.

I think the church could do it then we would
feel relief from what the world puts us through
we get frustrated with them but if we put
our testimony into real projects they will see
for themselves we can stand on our own and what
we believe.

I could see churches in major cities like the
ones in Dallas opening clinics and food banks
that meet the needs of people unconditionally.

 

Actually what I desire is that they do it
even more to the point it blots out the sun

and it bothers me that you take posts from
another board and link it here without even
asking me ..I don't know what the other person
feels about it but lets debate it.

I think its low down and I would hope the board
administrator is aware of the unwritten code
of honor in not trying to mingle two boards
for the purpose of proving a personal point.

When you go down that slippery slope you are
asking other forums to treat us the same with
cross linking.

When you are in this community forum BE IN IT!
Link to news sources and the like but linking
to other forums is trying to freeze free
expression and people join forums to do that
not expectiong there words will be used against
them or they have let their hair down because
they trust others...then someone comes in and
hijacks there words and links it so as to put
them in a bad light..to me that just stinks.

imho

 

Moderator's note:

I have received a couple of moderator alerts on the starting post of this topic and the question of ethics in posting quotes from another board.

In this moderator's opinion, the starter has observed the correct procedure for free use of internet publication by citing his source in a link. It has not escaped my attention that the starter has pointed out that the question has arisen from members of this site posting on another board. While the opinion of the source posters may be better received among the members of the other site, any information posted on the internet in a non-protected medium (such as ThinkingBaptist or the BaptistBoard) becomes public publication.

Had the discussion been conducted in a private area (i.e., password protected) on the other site, I would not allow it. As it stands, the discussion will not be hindered by this moderator.

I would remind those who oppose the opinions of the source posters that the purpose of this forum is discussion about issues and not the specific individuals who hold opinions about them. No opinions posted within the guidelines of this website will be censored or disallowed by this moderator. At the same time, no one is under any obligation to defend or even respond to the posts. Again, the discussion will be allowed to reach its finality without this moderator's involvement as long as it follows the posting rules set forth by this website.

Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't the American First Ammendment the right to life??

 

1: I don't know, however now seeing the number of yes votes it seems someone did. May God bless him.

2: Yes. I read their offer to Terri's "husband" on terrisfight.net a few weeks ago.

3: #3. Whenever I have money I love putting it where my mouth is

 

What would you, as a pro-life Christian do help others in this stituation?

I am a pro-life Christian. Kill her. 13% (3)

I am a pro-life Christian. I would be willing to fund her health care through the church or otherwise to help those in similar situations. 83% (19)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Three who claim to be Pro-Life say 'kill her'. How sad!

 

Yes, Diane, that is sad that anyone would want to kill Terri or kill anyone.

Thank you for posting the results as I have not voted in this poll and cannot see the results.

 

I don't like my quotes being taken out of
context or whole cloth anyone can take a
sound bite here or a sound bite there from
another forum and have it support there agenda
if you are to cross link from another forum
you need to ask permission and actually post
the full context and all those who have
posted in relation to that post.

I still think its a slippery slope and it
is like someone who spys in on a conversation
and takes a soundbite and takes it to elevate
themselves on another forum.

so are we going to intermingle the two boards
or are we not..it still stinks of selective
sound bites that are meant to puff a certain
someones posistion.


so what are you doing wrong...you are editing
and selecting only things that are not in
its full context.

plus you are taking one community and trying
to intermingle it with another which most
communitys would rather stand on there own two
feet without someone taking soundbites from
another forum.

I say it again it stinks and is unbecoming of
an unwritten courtesy of forums not cross
posting.

It stinks and I think you know that it stinks.
