The Terri Schiavo Case
Prayer vigil for Schiavo draws crowd
Citing the Atlanta judge's killing, a monsignor tells the crowd that
the judge who ordered Terri Schiavo's feeding tube removed could be
"in danger."
By JAMIE THOMPSON
PINELLAS PARK -
They came from as far away as California, Pennsylvania and Georgia and
stood along the grassy roadside in Pinellas Park, praying out loud and
asking, once again, for a miracle for Terri Schiavo.
More than 100 people gathered for a seven-hour vigil on Saturday
outside the Woodside Hospice where Schiavo lives.
A judge has ordered her feeding tube removed on Friday.
A parade of people took turns on a makeshift stage, lined with
long-stem roses and baby's breath, calling the crowd a "modern day
religious Calvary."
Young men and women took turns holding a wooden crucifix on stage, a
rosary dangling from Jesus' neck.
Speakers, including religious leaders from Virginia and New Jersey,
urged the crowd to continue writing letters to lawmakers, signing
petitions for the impeachment of Pinellas-Pasco Circuit Judge George
Greer and trying to persuade hospice nurses to refuse to participate
in the "scheduled killing" of Schiavo.
In remarks to the crowd, Monsignor Thaddeus Malanowski mentioned the
recent killing of an Atlanta judge.
Greer, Malanowski said, probably will need more security now.
He said he hopes "the judge sleeps well at night. His life is in
danger."
More than a few people snickered.

Are they Christians because they are hypocrites, or are they hypocrites
because they are Christians?

One of us non-Christians in Florida should inform the state's Bureau of
Investigation for the Monsignor's terroristic threat.

That reminds me of when Randall Terry was at his peak of popularity. Mr.
Terry was the founder of "Operation Rescue", a militant anti-abortion
group. An extremely devout Xtian, he eventually divorced his wife, was
excommunicated from his church, and ran off with his secretary. I
remember seeing a video of him speaking to his crowd, thru a bullhorn, at
a "rescue", outside an abortion clinic. He was saying that the people
inside were committing acts of evil, and that the Lord would smite them
for their evil deeds. Then, on his radio program, he said that knowing
what the Lord wants you to do, and failing to do it, is just as bad as
committing a sin yourself. Of course, when some of his constituents
attacked some abortion clinic workers, he said, "I never told them to do
that!"

Thank you. Exactly the point! In Orange County California the cult
was forced to pay for vandalism and law enforcement expenses
because the courts agreed that Terry and his cult were the cause
of the crimes and abuses at the hands of the Nazi thugs who
listened to him.
These morons claim to believe that abortion "killed babies," but
their behavior shows they do not actually believe it. They quite
clearly do not believe that abortion kills babies: if they did,
they would be slaughtering abortion providers left and right by
the dozens (I would if I believed babies were being killed via
abortion).

time. We don't want pluralism." (Randal Terry, The News-Sentinal,
Fort Wayne, Ind., 8/16/93)

Remember, this is Randall Terry, who cheated on his wife and then
divorced her.
Randall Terry, who became famous waving pictures of fetuses and
chaining himself to hospital beds as founder of the militant
antiabortion group Operation Rescue, is now being compared to
President Clinton. At Clinton's worst moment. And by Terry's own
pastor, no less. . . (who) accuses Terry, 41, of leaving his
wife, Cindy, and their two children as a first step to end their
"Christian marriage" and a "pattern of repeated and sinful
relationships and conversations with both single and married
women." ( By Hanna Rosin Washington Post Staff Writer
Saturday, February 12, 2000; Page C01 )
Christian Activist's Son Says He Is Gay In First-Person Magazine
Story, Operation Rescue Founder Randall Terry's Son Says He Is Gay
The Associated Press CHARLOTTE, N.C. April 22
The son of Christian activist Randall Terry, known for his
strident opposition to abortion and homosexuality, says he is gay.
In an article in the May issue of Out magazine for which he was
paid $2,500 Jamiel Terry, 24, says he first realized he was gay
seven years ago, when a male friend with whom he'd been intimate
asked if they were gay or bisexual. "I didn't know how to
respond," he writes. "I mean, we had been having sex for ages, but
I'd always believed I couldn't be gay: I was the son of Randall
Terry, a major leader of the Christian right's anti-abortion
movement and now a leader in the fight against marriage for
same-sex couples."
Before the Out article was released, Randall Terry published his
own essay, "My prodigal son, the homosexual," on several Internet
sites, including RandallTerry.com, writing his son "sold out our
family's privacy and private discussions for cold cash."
The younger Terry told The Washington Post his father drove from
Florida to Charlotte, where the son lives, to speak with him about
the first-person magazine story and to ask why he had not told the
elder Terry about it.
"I told him: 'Dad, how was I supposed to tell you? Look who you
are,'" Jamiel Terry said in Thursday's Post. He also denied his
father's accusations that Out's editors solicited the article and
put words in his mouth. The younger Terry said he sought out the
magazine.
But Jamiel Terry said it was true, as his father had claimed, that
he'd been convicted of drunken driving, written bad checks and
committed other frauds. "Dad doesn't mess around with Tomahawks,
he sends in the nuclear warheads," he said. "My father's first and
foremost aim is to protect himself."
Randall Terry founded Operation Rescue in 1986. The group applied
civil rights-era strategies of civil disobedience to the fight
against legalized abortion. He also has spoken out against gay
marriage.
Jamiel Terry is the son of a woman whom the elder Terry talked out
of having an abortion. The Terrys took in Jamiel and his two
sisters as foster children, and then adopted Jamiel and his
younger sister in 1994. The children's mother has since died.
"Tragically, by the time we got him as a foster child, he (Jamiel)
had already learned a lifestyle of deceit," Randall Terry writes.
