Dear Diana, I'm so very happy that you too went and signed the Memorial Guest Book! As I've said to Pamela (foreverscout), that will so bless the Schindlers in many many ways. And it will also have blessings, in my belief, for others as well. May our Lord Jesus Christ forever shine His Face upon you and your household. In His Name, this prayer is offered. Amen. Your sister with love in Christ, our King Jesus. Amen. denise | ||

Hello Pamela, I'm so sorry it's taken me days to write to you and will send you an email later this day or evening. Ironically enough, the battle to live without a very real threat of death on my head has hit home here. So far, as is usuall, my pleas are falling on deaf ears. For now however, here's another link that may give you much insight into this spiritual warfare being played out in our culture: http://watch.pair.com/charter.html And that's just for starters.... Oh yes and how did you like "theempirejournal.com?" link given just above? Without total reliance upon Christ my Saviour as my Faithful and Trustworthy Hope, I'd have none. Peace to your household. And much love through Christ our King! your sister--denise | ||

The Sacramento Bee: / Opinion Another view: The flaws in Oregon's suicide law By Paul K. Longmore -- Special To The Bee Published 2:15 am PDT Sunday, April 17, 2005 Paul Longmore is disability advocate and professor of history and director of the Institute on Disability at San Francisco State University. He is responding to the editorial "California can provide dignity at life's end," April 10. Contrary to the assertions of proponents of assisted suicide and, unfortunately, The Sacramento Bee that AB 654 and the Oregon law it models have strong safeguards, both have dangerous major defects. Most glaring, though the law requires doctors to document lethal prescriptions thoroughly, it sets no penalties for failing to report. The Oregon Legislature did not give the Department of Human Services (DHS) regulatory authority or the resources to detect violations. DHS does not regularly interview doctors who refused to assist the patients to die. So most of that mountain of data that The Bee and proponents have used to justify their position comes from the doctors who write the death-causing prescriptions. Talk about skewing the results! While DHS reports allegedly show the law's success, the privacy provision makes it difficult for data to go deeper. Problems with the law's implementation came to light only because the Oregon press interviewed relatives of some deceased patients. DHS admitted in its first report that it could not determine whether the practice of physician-assisted suicide was complying with or violating the law. Last month, The Oregonian, noted: "Oregon's Death With Dignity Act does not give them the necessary authority to investigate individual assisted suicides" and that the law's reporting system "seems rigged to avoid finding" answers to questions about the practice. The promise that legalization would bring assisted suicide into the open, regulate it and make doctors accountable has led instead to physician-assisted suicide practiced in secret and without oversight. Advocates also assert that Oregon's law has vastly improved pain control. But a Journal of Palliative Medicine study reported that pain relief for dying Oregonians has deteriorated. Dying patients in 2000-02 were nearly twice as likely to be described as suffering moderate or severe pain during the last week of life as in 1996-97. The researchers noted that Medicare and Medicaid budget cuts might be involved, declaring: "The negative impact of overstretching nursing resources on pain management should not be underestimated." Since 37 percent of Oregonians who took the lethal medications depended on those programs, we must ask if poor pain management prodded them to end their lives. Proponents want us to look to Oregon as a model, where only successful suicides are reported, there is virtually no oversight and the actual quality of end-of-life care has deteriorated. This solution is fatally flawed and should be rejected. Paul K.

This is a good article. While I could have started a new thread, I've chosen to use this spot for any links like this that have to do with Christianity and Disability. Here's the first two of more to come. You just might be surprised. O Happy Day.... http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/05095/482784.stm http://www.faithability.org/religiondisability/ | ||

Here is another excellent site or blog that I'm sure many will enjoy. This man brings some excellent things for all of us to think about. He must be located near or in Redlands California so you may know him--who knows right? Interesting title to begin with. Here is one paragraph from his blogspot that holds alot of credence. "THOUGHT FOR THE DAY" "The matter is quite simple. The Bible is very easy to understand. But we Christians are a bunch of scheming swindlers. We pretend to be unable to understand it because we know very well that the minute we understand we are obliged to act accordingly. Take any words in the New Testament and forget everything except pledging yourself to act accordingly. My God, you will say, if I do that my whole life will be ruined. Herein lies the real place of Christian scholarship. Christian scholarship is the Church's prodigious invention to defend itself against the Bible, to ensure that we can continue to be good Christians without the Bible coming too close. Dreadful it is to fall into the hands of the living God. Yes, it is even dreadful to be alone with the New Testament." - Soren Kierkegaard, from "Kill the Commentators" in PROVOCATIONS" Read more on this man's blog, I'm sure you'll find it worth your time. http://www.disabledchristianity.blogspot.com/ I found this blog on the "faithability.org/religiondisability/" site above. So my thanks goes to them both. There are others (many) that bring in new perspectives for us all I believe. And hopefully this will uplift, encourage, provoke thoughts and help us gleam some interesting insights into what we know as Christianity. Hopefully somebody on this forum or out there in the world will appreciate these sites in this entire thread--including the many many sites in the above dates. If so, a word to let me know somebody is reading any of these would sure brighten my day and let me know if my time is spent in vain or not. My prayer is that somebody will find something here useful. In Christ Jesus. Denise As a side--I just tried to post this at 630a.m. May 11, 2005 and was given a message of something to the affect of "site locked" or something "locked" but for certain the word "locked" was a word used with preventing me to first post this. I wish this were explained to me. | ||

Denise, I did go to the blog you posted above, and it is very good. We, as Christians should always be mindful of the disabled. I enjoy hearing Joni Eareckson Tada on her radio show. She was also on Larry King not too long ago. She has made such a wonderful Christian witness through the years. I admire your dedication to these worthwhile causes as well. Stan | ||
| Denisegilmore Registered user Username: Denisegilmore Post Number: 275 Registered: 10-2000 |
Stan, I'm thankful that you went and read his blog. Seems there is one (you) who actually cares. All the rest, as Hamlet would say, "is silence." Joni Tada is a wonderful example as are many others. We all have something to say and contribute regarding Christianity and Disability. It's unfortunate that it takes primarily Christians with disabilites to point out the Disabled Christians. Or moreover apathetic Christians (this thread speaks volumes to the truth of that statement). Here is another site regarding disability and yes,,,the "P" word. She is a Christian who speaks her mind and stands up straight and tall with head held high to proclaim some more truths (you may not like these Stan). I may not agree with everything she says (or I just might--just to leave the reader ever wondering whether I do or don't. And since you appear to be the "only" reader, then it's you and me kid! <grin>) but what she states is common sense and well, that's a hard one for alot of people nowadays. So I do hope that perhaps you will be willing to read "many" (not just one or two) or her articles and tell me what you think of her site. Here it is and I'm really hoping there is something there to encourage you or give you something to think about at the very least. God Bless you Stan for taking the time out to not only read but also to comment on the last site. Your a good man in my book. http://www.jesusonthefamily.org/ Blessings to your household Stan. In Christ. Denise | ||
| Riverfonz Registered user Username: Riverfonz Post Number: 298 Registered: 3-2005 |
Denise, You are right. I noticed a big difference between jesusonthefamily and the disabledchristianity blog. The one I liked is not a hate Bush site, like the one just above. Denise, I don't want to get into a political battle with you. but I do know where Joni Tada stands. She believes, like i do that our president loves the Lord--Please correct me if i am wrong! I have listened to her on multiple occasions. But since you published 2 different sites, I went to both of them, and one is truly Christian, and the other one is a hate Bush website, and I obviously disagree with you. Just one question, Do you believe John Kerry represented Christianity with regard to abortion, and Disabled Americans better than Bush? And, oh yes, since this thread is about Terry Schiavo, who represented your position better? Regardless of our political biases, we are united in Jesus Christ. Stan | ||
| Denisegilmore Registered user Username: Denisegilmore Post Number: 276 Registered: 10-2000 |
Stan, The other site is not a "hate" Bush so much as she doesn't care for his policies. Neither do I. But I wouldn't want Kerry in there either, he'd be just as bad in my opinion. Remember, I'm non-partisan. Now here's an article that was published and while it is true the writers of the article are Democrats, this doesn't mean I'm a Democrat. However, what they are saying is true and gives us much to worry about as Disabled citizens. After that article I'm going to post another article to answer your questions regarding "abortion" and one about what Bush could have done in the Schiavo case also. I'm like you, not out to spat over political parties. However, I do stand for what's right and point out what's wrong nomatter which "party" is involved. Again, I'm non-partisan so I don't take sides nor do I hate either side just because I may put something on here that they are doing that is either criminal or negligent or just plain wrong. However, I do hate the wrong-doing. And yes, we are still a brother and sister in Christ and always will be Stan. Yet we cannot idolize any political party just because that's the "in" thing or the "majority" of Christians. We must stand for truth where-ever it is found and that takes opening up of both of our minds to gather this truth. Personally speaking both parties have flaws and yet at the same time it is my opinion that this "party difference" is a ruse. Someday I'll explain that in another thread. So on with the first article for some insight as to what is causing some stress amongst us people with disabilities. (so this post isn't so lengthy I'll put the other article in the next post). """Pelosi: President Still Considering Disability Cuts as Part of Plan to Privatize Social Security U.S. Newswire Friday - May 13, 2005 WASHINGTON, May 13 /U.S. Newswire/ -- House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi released the following statement on the President's Social Security plan, which the White House acknowledged yesterday, would drastically cut benefits to Americans with disabilities: "Just two weeks ago, President Bush assured Americans that disability benefits would not be cut under his privatization plan. Yesterday, a White House spokesman said disability cuts are still on the table. Either disability benefits will be cut or they won't be. Which is it, Mr. President? "The White House also confirmed this week that benefits would be cut for the middle class and for survivors. "Social Security has given millions of Americans the opportunity to live with dignity and independence, and Democrats will not walk away from our commitment to ensuring that families receive the benefits they have earned. "In order to push through his risky privatization plan, the President has proposed slashing benefits for middle-class families, cutting benefits for widows and children, and trillions of dollars in additional debt. Despite the high cost of privatization, the President's misleading plan makes the challenge facing Social Security worse, not better. "Democrats stand ready to strengthen Social Security on a bipartisan basis as we did in 1983 when Speaker Tip O'Neill joined with President Reagan for the common good. In that spirit, we urge the President to begin considering proposals that strengthen Social Security in a way that does not gut benefits for middle-class families and does not jeopardize the economic security of those struggling to make ends meet when faced with disability or death." http://www.usnewswire.com/ Contact: Brendan Daly or Jennifer Crider, 202-226-7616, both of the Office of House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi""" | ||

Stan, Here's an article in between the first post and the post regarding "abortions and Terri Schiavo" that I thought may interest you. " 'No freedom for disabled' iafrica.com JOHANNESBURG Tue, 26 Apr 2005 Members of the QuadPara Association of South Africa would not celebrate freedom on Freedom Day because government was not enforcing their equal rights, they said on Tuesday. National director Ari Seirlis said the disability sector made up at least 10 percent of the population of South Africa, and enjoyed democracy, but not the freedom that democracy entitled them to. "There is no accessible public transport for persons with mobility impairments, still no access to accessible sanitation, water and housing," Seirlis said. Paralysed by infrastructure "We can't go to any Freedom Day events because we can't get there. We can't catch a bus. We can't even get there to boycott," he told Sapa. "We are paralysed, but not by disability, by the infrastructure." South Africa had "magnificent" legislation but "it is on paper" and the Employment Equity Act had only created audits. "There are no more people employed, no public transport, the government has scrapped disability grants forcing people to reapply because there were cheats," he added. The R780 grant itself did not take into account the severity and the different levels of disability. When new housing developments were proposed nobody from the disabled community was consulted. A needs analysis was required as urban and rural people had different obstacles. Disabled people living in rural areas had no electricity for specialist highcare medical equipment or even hot water for changing bandages. There were no taps, toilets were inaccessible and there was no public transport to ferry them for religious worship, socialising or appointments. "Although we feel democratised, our lot isn't any better. If you are black, white or pink, if you use a wheelchair, you are no better off." Freedom Day marks the 1994 ushering-in of South Africa's first democratically elected government. Sapa E-mail: colinhastie@iafrica.com | ||

Stan, Here is an article from a Pastor of 30 years outlining some of the policies of this Government currently in office. It's titled: "WITH REPUBLICANS LIKE THESE WHO NEEDS DEMOCRATS?" In other words, he's rather like myself. We can see right and wrong regardless of the political party. But this list should give us all pause. Peace to you Stan. http://www.chuckbaldwinlive.com/cwarchive_050405.html ----------------------------------------- And now what Bush has done with regard to "abortion" and what he could have done for "Terri Schiavo." On abortion with documentation to back up what he is saying; look at this: http://www.chuckbaldwinlive.com/bushabortion$.html On Terri Schiavo, here's the truth as to what Bush could have and should have done. And do try to keep in mind Stan that of course we are talking about what these Republicans are doing as our President is Republican and they are controlling both houses. If it were the Democrats controlling both houses, then we'd be talking about those darned Democrats. So whoever is the President, of course it's that President we talk about, and whoever is in control of the houses, then yes we talk about that party. This is common sense stuff, not Bush hating. Policy hating yes, but not necessarily Bush hating. Please keep in mind that honest critique and or critizing doesn't equal hate. Okay, on with the article: ------------------------------------- "Terri Schiavo Isn't The Only One Dying-So Is Lady Liberty! By Chuck Baldwin March 29, 2005 How is it possible? How could it happen in the United States of America? We could understand it if this happened in Nazi Germany or in Stalin's Russia or in Mao's China, but how could it happen in America? How can a nation whose core principles protect the rights of life and liberty for every citizen allow (even condone) a woman to be slowly and painfully starved to death? This is beyond comprehension. There are so many elements to this story that it is very difficult to deal with them all, especially in one column. Let me try to highlight a couple of the more glaring lessons that come out of this tragic story. Under Florida statutes, Terri's husband, Michael, is legally authorized to make life or death decisions on behalf of his wife. These statutes are, no doubt, rooted in the principle that the marriage relationship of a man and a woman is the cornerstone of the family and of all society. In principle, this is a very good thing. No one, at least not me, wants the state meddling in the affairs of the family except under dire and extreme circumstances. However, are not the circumstances surrounding the Terri Schiavo affair dire and extreme? Does not the state intervene in family matters hundreds, even thousands, of times every year for matters much less severe than those surrounding Terri Schaivo? Obviously, state laws recognizing the authority and right of a spouse to speak for his or her mate in life-threatening matters hinges on the presupposition that the spouse truly loves his or her mate and seeks the mate's best interest. Unfortunately, too many times, a spouse will prove by his or her actions that he or she does not have the mate's best interests at heart, and the state is forced to intervene. Can any objective person who is even vaguely familiar with Terri's story not readily admit that there is more than ample evidence of misconduct and mismanagement of Terri's care and oversight by husband Michael Schiavo? This part of the story is a no-brainer! Where is the curiosity for truth and the desire for justice on the part of local and state law enforcement, state attorneys, and local and state judges located in Pinellas Park and in the State of Florida? Is there not plenty of circumstantial evidence to suggest that Michael is acting out of motives that are unclear, uncertain, and perhaps even unscrupulous? Somewhere within the vast bureaucracy of law enforcement and the state judiciary, there must be mechanisms in place to circumvent state ordered starvation! Yet, despite all the hullabaloo of Florida politicians, Terri Schiavo is slowly dying of starvation and dehydration! I cannot imagine a more painful death. Does anyone in their right mind really believe that the starvation of a young woman whose medical condition is anything but certain (after all, more than 30 physicians, including numerous specialists, have emphatically declared that Terri Schiavo is not in a "persistent vegetative state") is what lawmakers had in mind when they created the state laws that are now being used to justify Terri's tortuous death? Get real! Another glaring lesson is that of how the executive and legislative branches of government (both state and federal) are ceding power to the judiciary at a frightening pace! For all practical purposes, we do not have three "separate but equal" branches of government anymore. Instead, we have an all-powerful judiciary with no checks and balances provided by the other two branches. The Terri Schiavo case shines neon lights upon this reality. There is no question to anyone who understands the Separation of Powers doctrine that Governor Jeb Bush has the discretionary authority and obligation to faithfully execute his state's laws protecting the right to life. This same authority is given to all state governors. And in matters relating to the federal government, this same authority is granted to the President of the United States. In Governor Bush's case, Article I, Section 2, of the Florida State Constitution clearly says, "[a]ll natural persons, female and male alike, are equal before the law, and have inalienable rights, among which are the right to enjoy and defend life." Furthermore, Article I, Section 2, states that no person shall be deprived of any right because of "physical disability." Further still, Article IV, Section 1, of the Florida State Constitution emphatically says that "the supreme executive power" of the State of Florida is vested in the "governor, who shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed." Neither is any chief executive bound by the opinions of the judiciary. Thomas Jefferson said in 1819 that "[E]ach of the three departments has equally the right to decide for itself what is its duty under the constitution without regard to what the others may have decided for themselves under a similar question." President Andrew Jackson agreed with Jefferson. He once observed that "[judicial] precedent is a dangerous source of authority, and should not be regarded as deciding questions of constitutional authority." Jackson also categorically stated that a president (or governor) is bound by his oath of office to decide matters of constitutional right and power according to the executive's interpretation of the constitution, not according to the judiciary's interpretation! Consider also that Alexander Hamilton wrote in Federalist No. 78 that the exercise of judicial power is subject to the check and balance of the executive branch, which, alone, has the power to enforce a judicial order. Thus, if a court order is contrary to the law of the inalienable right to life, as the order in the Schiavo case surely is, then Governor Bush has the vested authority to intervene and stop any action pursuant to that court order. In other words, Jeb Bush could have taken custody of Terri Schiavo and seen to it that her feeding tube was not removed at anytime, all the political rambling and double- speak notwithstanding! However, instead of faithfully executing the laws of Florida, which protect people such as Terri Schiavo, Jeb Bush decided to wash his hands of the matter and turn Terri over to the will of the judiciary. Shades of Pontius Pilate! It should be clear to anyone willing to see that while Terri Schiavo suffers what must be an agonizing death, Lady Liberty is also dying. Her feeding tube, the feeding tube of constitutional government and bedrock principle, has been removed, and she is starving for want of the fundamental fluids that maintain her health and vitality. Oh! I'm sure readers will be pleased to know that the same State of Florida that has given its blessing to the slow starvation death of Terri Schiavo has just arrested a rancher in Immokalee, Florida, for starving his cows. According to press reports, his remaining cows were seized and fed by Domestic Animal Services. How comforting!" © Chuck Baldwin http://www.chuckbaldwinlive.com/index.html ------------------------------------- Blessings on your head Stan and I hope you understand that as far as I can remember, everything I post on here can be documented. So it's not a "Political Party Bashing" time but rather a "Blowing the Trumpet of Warning" or "Danger, Danger, Danger" time. With love through and in Christ. Denise | ||

Oh Stan, I forgot to tell you Thank you for being honest regarding your opinion of the second site you had read. I've always respected anyone who is honest and forthright as to what their opinion of something is, even if we disagree. So thank you very much for being who you are. And I do hope we continue our dialogue on these matters. There are many things we do agree on and these things are very important to both of us. Your sister in Christ Jesus. Denise | ||

Stan, I tried to do what Jeremy instructed in order for me to be able to edit but I'm missing something and was unable so here is yet one more post to you--sorry about that. Just wanted to add that the next few links will be primarily Politically free. They will center more on Christianity and Disability as their major topics although I'm sure there may be a political comment on any one of the sites that may come up, it will not dominate the topic at hand. So take heart, there's hope for me yet!  Blessings to you. Denise | ||

Denise, I will grant you that President Bush is not perfect. But, how can you not sense his Christian commitment? Look at all the Judges he has appointed who are being filibustered by the democrats! These are all upstanding judges who oppose abortion on demand. Newsweek magazine, (look at their credibility after this flushing the Koran fiasco) ridiculed Bush for his Christian faith. They mentioned the fact that he always starts his day with reading that great devotional book, by Oswald Chambers, "My Utmost for His Highest". That is a great devotional book. Denise, that is why Joni Tada and I are supporters of this great President, because, this man is not afraid to take a stand for his faith--despite a hostile news media. I am looking forward to your response. Stan |
