Another thing about the airport scene. Had the Revolutionary Guard known the Americans were on board all they would have had to do was to get air traffic control to call the plane back to the terminal before takeoff. If they took off instead the Iranian Air Force would have intercepted the plane and forced it to land.

I liked it too, but I'm not sure about the chase scene either. I had seen a reenactment of this movie with the participation of the principal CIA agent responsible coming up with the idea and with the actual embasy personnel who he smuggled out. None of them mentioned any chase scene at the airport. What they did say was there were a couple of high tension moments at the airport. One of them was when an Iranian official responsible for checking one of the documents excused himself and disappeared for a number of minutes. It was feared that they would be discovered because of a lack of record for their entry into Iran. When he returned he had a cup of tea that he had prepared for himself. The other was later when there was a one hour delay announced for the flight because of an issue with their jet and they had to sit there fearing the worse. The delay ended and they boarded without further incident.

Brilliant and Funny - The Book of Mormon
by AK - Jeff inabout 15 of 'us' - all but one a former jw, and most either familiar with this board or currently posters here - attended the play in the chicago theater district last night.
what a hoot!
according to the geniuses [the same guys who did south park] who were behind the production, it targetted mormons on the way to poking fun at all religious delusion.. it was a great play, great actors, and wonderful props.

Here's my justification for lying to the elders, should that showdown ever occur. The Watchtower has created a system that violates a basic human need: access to family and/or friends. Therefore, I would have zero moral compunction in telling the Watchtower's company men what they want to hear.
Well said, Open Mind - a very powerful and succinct statement that cuts right to the core of it.

forty-five years ago i was out in service with an elder, and we came upon a house where the owners kindly received us.
this was not so unusual as the family was jehovah's witnesses.

Mike, you must be quite a person for CoCo, one of our outstanding citizens here, to bring attention to your situation. I send you my good wishes that you remain strong and positive despite whatever follows. You are not this thing inside you, and it can never overshadow your true essence, which is ever peaceful and serene. Feel that serenity now and let that be your touchstone throughout each day. Peace ~ poppers.
