I'm a chaplain, and I thought some of you might be interested in a very different point of view about this. I'm not suggesting that you believe me, nor am I arguing for a "side." This is just what the Sanctuary teached, and this is what I believe. Terri's soul is alive and well, and it's still attached to her body. The essence of Terri, her soul, is not in some state of limbo. Her soul is aware of everything going on around her just like near-death experiencers can be aware of their surroundings. Terri is actively participating in a spiritual change in society. This is a test for us to see if we are spiritually mature enough to do the right thing. And what is the right thing in God's eyes? God gives life, and He brings it home when it's time. To withhold food and water from any living creature with a soul is unthinkable. Even though Terri's brain might not be aware of it, and even though she might not suffer physically from it, our society would be held accountable for its choice. Food and water is not a matter of artificially extending life. It's an act of mercy. If Terri is given food and water, her body will digest and metabolize it. When it's time for Terri to die, her body...more

Why are so many more people frightened of aeroplane journeys rather than car journeys? The risk of being injured in a car is far greater than being injured in an aeroplane. I can offer this theory: it's because aero crashes are so rare and auto crashes are so commonplace. This may sound like strange logic, but it's simple really. Does every car crash get reported on the news? Of course not! There are too many of them. The carnage and misery from auto crashes is so common that it is rarely reported. Yet, a rare aeroplane incident, even a minor one, can reach the headlines.This is because news is reported by exception. Usually, only out-of-the-ordinary events are reported. In a generally good world (well I think so, anyway) we are fed mainly bad news stories. Understandable, as bad news is the exception. Trouble is, this gives us an upside-down view of the world. Some of the greatest killers in our world, such as cigarettes, automobiles, AIDS and cancer continue to cause such mass misery, virtually unnoticed, except by those directly affected.Just take this litmus test: how many people do you know who have been involved in an aeroplane crash, or even near miss? Now think how many...more
