The Purpose Driven Dude Is Repeating the "Not Brain Dead" Crap
Edited on Sat Mar-26-05 09:40 PM by UTUSN
Ah, yaas, more practicising medicine (and law) without a license. And what a wonderful melding of wingnut/fundie circus stories. Larry KING just asked him what it was like to "be a commodity," since his name Porpoise-driven is now on greeting cards. I was willing to listen, but it's more wingnut fundie CRAP.

He's repeating the Barbara WELLER crap that Terri SCHIAVO "talks, laughs, ..." Oh, "The Bible says we're entitled to PAIN KILLERS..."

******QUOTE******

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=2270&ncid=2270&e=2&u=/krwashbureau/20050319/ts_krwashbureau/_bc_braindamagedwoman_guardian_wa

.... Wolfson was appointed by a Florida court in the fall of 2003 to be Schiavo's guardian ad litem, or guardian at law, to deduce Schiavo's best interests and represent neither her husband nor her parents but Terri Schiavo herself.

This makes Wolfson one of the very few people to have spent extended time with Schiavo and gauged her level of awareness without having a vested interest at stake.

In the end, after long hours at Schiavo's bedside and after poring over 30,000 pages of legal documents, Wolfson concluded that Schiavo was indeed in a permanent vegetative state. ....

But Schiavo never made eye contact. When Wolfson visited her when her parents were there, she never made eye contact with them either, he said. And for all of Wolfson's pleadings and coaxing, he never got what he most wanted: a sign. ....

Wolfson was dismayed to learn Friday that Barbara Weller, an attorney for the Schindlers, claimed that Schiavo tried to speak. "Terri does not speak," he said. "To claim otherwise reduces her to a fiction." ....

5. Great Caller: "I'm tired of people claiming to speak for God!"
However, it didn't faze him a bit. Not his purpose to be fazed.

6. Here We Go: "The VALUES VOTER of the Election - a GREAT Sign"
One of the other great signs he found was that his book was #1 worldwide best seller for two years in a row, 2003-4.

Now he's deciding what to do with all the money: "The stewardship of AFFLUENCE and the stewardship of INFLUENCE." Still lives in the same house, no matter how much money COMES ON ROLLING IN.

9. To be fair, Schiavo is not "brain dead."
PVS is different. Is she just as incapacitated, unaware, and lacking what made her "Terri Schiavo"? Yes. But let's get the terminology right.

10. Apparently, He's into Coining Phrases and Acronyms
Besides the "purpose driven" deal-ly, he's got something new called

P.E.A.C.E.

Gimme a "P"---"for PLANTING churches,"

I fergit what the rest of the letters stand for. It's over now. At least he's staying off t.v., "did not want to be a tele-evangelist". As for his charity vocation--well, good, but Don IMUS runs a charity, too, and NOTHING that IMUS does will stop him from being repellent and repugnant.

11. The more nut-cases they drag out on t.v.
the less credible they will be to the masses. This is good.

12.  He's 2 for 2 in one week. The kidnapper story was his, too.
Don't you remember? The prison excapee who trapped a woman in her home gave himself up because she read him the book? This guy thinks the world revolves around him, because, right now, it does.
