OUTRAGED SPLEEN OF ZION
In the act of dying when you are awake and alive enough to know what is going on there is little sorrow. Even the act itself is without great drama. Except for the moment when you realize the body you so disdain is your own, and the life you are backing away from is yours. That is a moment worthy of reflection. There is no moment of “oh how I shall miss uncle Frumke and Mama’s stuffed cabbage.” There is no longing to say once more ‘Children I have loved you so!” No, the business of the dead is of the dead. How reasonable it is then that Jesus Himself, Jew that He was knew to say, “Let the dead bury the dead.” Because he knew the dead were not of the living.
But now we come to the idea of the non-aware dying. The creature poor thing lying a bed in what we perceive to be a “coma” an awareness not of our understanding. Someone who is separated from us by a veil of consciousness we cannot penetrate and cannot negotiate. One whose eyes move but in a meaningless rhythm from side to side, whose lips grow dry and chapped and need moisture to keep from splitting and cracking. Whose arms and legs must be manipulated daily to keep them from curling into positions that resemble trees gone gnarled and headed back towards death and whence they came. We oil their skin, we prick their fingers to measure blood sugar and prick their legs and arms with insulin. We empty their bladders and we make sure their brains leak enough fluid to keep from making the damage any worse than...what? The half death they already enjoy? Yet, half death is not death. You are dead or you are alive-it doesn’t come in pieces or fractions. It is an absolute. Death is absolute. Life is absolute. These piteous creatures are no less God’s children than you or I. They simply are, and we owe them, the most vulnerable among us the protection we would give any helpless living being. They cannot tell you that they are still IN THERE. They don’t care what you do because they inhabit another place. But they are alive. The dignity of life is still attached to them. God still hears their prayers as He speaks languages we don’t. Maybe He listens most closely to those He has sent to test our ability to love.
Thus we come to the idea of being one or the other. If you are 3 minutes or 8 or 10 weeks into conception you are jolly well alive. The scientific rules for life are pretty darn easy to understand.
Motion
Reproduction
Consumption
Excretion
Growth
Irritability
Respiration
These are not complicated things. They exclude viruses for instance, which are neither alive nor dead, unless they attach to a host, then they mimic life. (Rather like liberals who attach to your money and seem to be alive until they kill the host.) It excludes rocks, which don’t do much of any of those things. The list does include Terri Schiavo because she did move, eat, excrete, and react to pain and breathe. She was alive until they starved and dehydrated her to death. Then she wasn’t alive any more. And we were all poorer for it.
I apologize for the length of this post. I am not really qualified to preach at anyone and God knows I am no writer without someone to edit me. But this was bothering me and I wanted very much to tell people what matters to me. I have written several letters to the various Church people who will forward them to Rome asking that they please let this girl live and not join the death eaters who are making death a growth industry. It is all I can do from the vantage point of life.
Thanks for your attention.
I have posted this before. I had a long talk about this with a very learned priest friend of mine. He agreed and told me that while I fight the good fight I need to think less about it and pray more that the people who are really able to do something to change the policies will do so.
If St Michael who is as busy as a one armed paper hanger with the crabs would please give me a hand on this one I'd be much obliged. As my daddy used to say.
Amen
Amen
I would take out the aside about liberals as it takes away the seriousness you have so far evoked.
Thank you mrsoc.
If you think so I will. Thanks Peacekeeper.
Remember, therefore, what you have received and heard; obey it, and repent. But if you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what time I will come to you
Revelation 3:3
Be it so.
God said to Moses, "I am who I am. This is what you are to say to the Israelites:
'I AM has sent me to you.'
Exodus 3:14
I AM I AM I AM...
I need to think less about it and pray more
wise man that priest

WOW...
I wish writer mom was around. My sister and my son (the editor and the auditor) are both non believers and they have problems with this sort of thing. My son always says I write as though commas were 75 cents a piece retail and I never met a semi colon I liked because I think of them as being half assed.
I shouldn't have smoked pot all through senior honors english. Or maybe I should have smoked more. Hard to say which would have helped more.
Contrast this quote :
God, who reveals his name as "I AM", reveals himself as the God who is always there, present to his people in order to save them.
With
Then we had the great leader who said: " It depends on what the meaning of is is..."
Seems perfectly diabolic to me.
You are dead or you are alive-it doesn’t come in pieces or fractions. It is an absolute. Death is absolute. Life is absolute.
These piteous creatures are no less God’s children than you or I. They simply are, and we owe them, the most vulnerable among us the protection we would give any helpless living being.
I love you mrsoc.
Its a really strong piece Mrs Oc. Persuasive.
There is an instinct built into us for life.
Yesterday someone called the vet's office and said their mother had run over a baby rabbit. They were frantic. The little thing was still breathing.
If you know anything about rabbits you know that once their bones are broken it is certain death. Their spines are too fragile and once they snap that's it.
But these folks wanted to bring it in and spend all kinds of money to make it live.
I told them that by the time they got to the vet, the bunny would be gone.
But they wanted it to live. They could not belieive there was nothing they could do.
It is built into us - this life thing. Those who push death are abnormal.
Seems perfectly diabolic to me.
Peacekeepah
From the Greek DIABOLOS which is the term used exclusively in the NT for Satan
diabolos means "covenant breaker" and "slanderer"
Literally speaking:
Diabolos perverts words in order to break covenant
Mind you I'm not saying that he is the devil, just that he had actually revealed in that moment of questioning, the root of his sins. I'm sure he was not even conscious of it.

Babba did you see the secularist rationalization posted there?
you know, of course theres a religious meaning behind this, but you don't have to focus on that. you could see past it into the meaning he intended: your always under someones control: someone out there is always pulling the strings and controlling you one way or another. so why not pass the strings onto your man of choice?
This is the filter that I use to evaluate candidates, politicians, philosphies, writers, movements .....
Who wants you dead? If you are a liablitiy - do they want you dead? Do they see more benefit for themselves with you dead or alive?
Who wants you dead? They are from the devil.
Who wants you alive ? Even if you ain't that great? - They are from God.
there is a secularist rationalization posted everywhere
lol
there's only 2 choices
the fence sitters fall on the goat side
God is light and in Him there is no darkness at all.
God is life and He makes us victorious over death.
When we talk about the abortionists we are talking about life at its very beginning. We miss therefore the idea of life at its very end. Abortion is the first step toward "granny not looking too good today we might want to dispatch her before she costs too much to save. Our inheritance you know."
This is not the priority of the left. That whore of the left Gloria Steinem is all for death in any form. She shills for death. I am guessing she shills directly for the devil himself and thinks she has made a great deal with him too. I would say to her and her incessent bleating-"yo Gloria-do you believe for one moment that they would defend you?" Although I don't care if they do.
There's the slippery slope if ever I saw one. Never trust anyone over 30-yeah.

Bottom line:
Stan knows he is going to have to do battle with the forces of God at the end of days. He has read the bible . He is not stupid.
So
He needs a big army. A really really big army for him to have any shot.
How does he get these troops? He needs dead people.
Think about it.
I have mama lol
ULULULULULULULULULULULULULULU!
You can benefit from the death of others, and if you act now we'll make sure that these people are nobody you know. Faceless, anonymous. So what are YOU waiting for? Operators are standing by.
He also has to reduce the ranks of the opposing forces. If the Lord does battle with the saints, it is in Stan's best interests to reduce the size of their numbers, eh?
I always loved this record

I have never understood people who say "I hate children." Did these people spring into being fully grown? What horrible things happened in their childhoods that they hate other children? It's truly sick.
all it takes is one
MOOOOHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAA
Dog has informed me of his need to poop.

Now there are some people, nasty judgemental fundamentalist freaks who think it is their business to MAKE you think about the dead people, DON'T LISTEN TO THEM! It's a guilt trip and bring down.

incanus,
I have never understood people who say "I hate children." Did these people spring into being fully grown? What horrible things happened in their childhoods that they hate other children? It's truly sick.
Children can irritate the crap out of me, but I don't hate them...I also don't feel over maternal, perhaps that is why I have yet to have one...
On the other hand, children just adore me...
At any gathering of adults & children, I seem to attract them like honey...
It wasn't easy, the Docs push it.
How I love Danny Kaye lol

I know its SOP now
You should see the shit they used to try to push on me

Cats always go to whoever hates them most.
This is a scientific fact.
They do it just to piss you off.
NINE WORDS WOMEN USE
(1) Fine: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.
(2) Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.
(3) Nothing: This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in fine.
(4) Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don't Do It!
(5) Loud Sigh: This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to # 3 for the meaning of nothing.)
0D
(6) That's Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man. That's okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.
(7) Thanks: A woman is thanking you, do not question, or faint. Just say you're welcome. (I want to add in a clause here - This is true, unless she says 'Thanks a lot' - that is PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say 'you're welcome' . that will bring on a 'whatever').
(
Whatever: Is a woman's way of saying F-- YOU!
(9) Don't worry about it, I got it: Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking 'What's wrong?' For the woman's response refer to # 3.
No amnio for me either with Little W
Even tho they said he was going to be born brain damaged.
I said so what ? What's yer point?
AI that is hilarious. That's so me. LOLOLOL. I am going to print it out. HAHAHAH.

Men
It's not so complicated!
The nice men are ugly.
The handsome men are not nice.
The handsome and nice men are gay.
The handsome, nice and heterosexual men are married.
The men who are not so handsome, but are nice men, have no money.
The men who are not so handsome, but are nice men with money think we are only after their money.
The handsome men without money are after our money.
The handsome men, who are not so nice and somewhat heterosexual, don't think we are beautiful enough.
The men who think we are beautiful, that are heterosexual, somewhat nice and have money are pigs.
The men who are somewhat handsome, somewhat nice and have some money and thank GOD are heterosexual, are shy and NEVER MAKE THE FIRST MOVE!
The men who never make the first move, automatically lose interest in us when we take the initiative.
NOW, WHO IN THE WORLD UNDERSTANDS MEN?
Men are like a fine wine. They all start out like grapes, and it's our job to stomp on them and keep them in the dark until they mature into something you'd like to have dinner with.
Paxnhymn~ good grief.

Maher Arar, a telecommunications engineer with dual Canadian and Syrian citizenship, was detained during a stop-over in JFK Airport in 2002 and deported on suspicion of being a member of Al Qaeda. He wound up in a Syrian prison where he was locked up and beaten for almost a year before protests from his wife led to his release.
...
Maria Lahood, Arar's attorney, specializes in international human rights litigation. She discusses her efforts to hold corporations and government officials accountable for torture, extrajudicial killings and war crimes abroad.
So are they going after Syria (the ones that tortured him)? Nope. Just the US of course.
