The Terri Schiavo Thread

“reading is fundamental

nobody said he did, the point is he didn't get the context”

hehehe you really do take the cake. You talk the talk but you haven't the faintest idea what the walk looks like. You are _not_ gonna call me back from paradise. You do what you want. Be my guest. But me--- I'll take heaven over this life any day of the year. To each their own.”

“wait, does rosey have another name?
I don't see a post from him

“Hi Maple. I am not sure what Sarge is talking about.”

“apparently, he thinks rose is hiker19B4”

“The funny part:

“Young man with motorbike head injury in a coma. His mum, a keen evangelical, comes every day with friends to sing Onward, Christian Soldiers by his bedside. She’s hoping to stimulate his brain into action. It works: he comes round, but he can’t speak. So they fit him up with one of those Stephen Hawking-type laptops, and the first words he speaks are: “For God’s sake, Mum, shut it!””

“For all those verses of that horrid hymn... I agree...”

“Hiker - Yes, there may be a new procedure, but that doesn't change the fact that Terry Schiavo was tested and checked on and given time and many rehab attempts that go well beyond what was done for the standard PVS case. We also know now that her brain ws pretty well gone.

Rev: I definitely agree about leaving a living will. It takes a huge burden off of loved ones in difficult times and better expresses a person's desires than anyone elses guesses.”

“I can't believe Sarge is still obsessing over Terry Schiavo!”

“I can.”

“I can.”

“He knows he's wrong deep down. That's the source of the obsession.”

“you know what? forget what i said...I am not defending him ever!

“Onward Christian Soldiers Hymn
Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus going on before.
Christ, the royal Master, leads against the foe;
Forward into battle see His banners go!

Refrain

Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus going on before.

At the sign of triumph Satan�s host doth flee;
On then, Christian soldiers, on to victory!
Hell�s foundations quiver at the shout of praise;
Brothers lift your voices, loud your anthems raise.

Refrain

Like a mighty army moves the church of God;
Brothers, we are treading where the saints have trod.
We are not divided, all one body we,
One in hope and doctrine, one in charity.

Refrain

What the saints established that I hold for true.
What the saints believ�d, that I believe too.
Long as earth endureth, men the faith will hold,
Kingdoms, nations, empires, in destruction rolled.

Refrain

Crowns and thrones may perish, kingdoms rise and wane,
But the church of Jesus constant will remain.
Gates of hell can never gainst that church prevail;
We have Christ�s own promise, and that cannot fail.

Refrain

Onward then, ye people, join our happy throng,
Blend with ours your voices in the triumph song.
Glory, laud and honor unto Christ the King,
This through countless ages men and angels sing.”

“i can”

“ugh... I can't stand that hymn....
that would have roused me just to shut her up as well.”

“One of the worst hymns in the Episcopal Hymnal... Of course ever since they went to the 'new one' in 1982 most of the hymns have been pretty bad....

'32oz”

“ummm... yeah I am not fond of episcopla hymnody.”
