America’s Thanksgiving – the historical foundation
George Washington’s 1789 Thanksgiving ProclamationQuote:
Whereas it is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly to implore His protection and favor; and Whereas both Houses of Congress have, by their joint committee, requested me “to recommend to the people of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer, to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many and signal favors of Almighty God, especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness:”
Now, therefore, I do recommend and assign Thursday, the 26th day of November next, to be devoted by the people of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being who is the beneficent author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be; that we may then all unite in rendering unto Him our sincere and humble thanks for His kind care and protection of the people of this country previous to their becoming a nation; for the signal and manifold mercies and the favorable interpositions of His providence in the course and conclusion of the late war; for the great degree of tranquility, union, and plenty which we have since enjoyed; for the peaceable and rational manner in which we have been enable to establish constitutions of government for our safety and happiness, and particularly the national one now lately instituted’ for the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed, and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing useful knowledge; and, in general, for all the great and various favors which He has been pleased to confer upon us.
And also that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations and beseech Him to pardon our national and other transgressions; to enable us all, whether in public or private stations, to perform our several and relative duties properly and punctually; to render our National Government a blessing to all the people by constantly being a Government of wise, just, and constitutional laws, discreetly and faithfully executed and obeyed; to protect and guide all sovereigns and nations (especially such as have show kindness to us), and to bless them with good governments, peace, and concord; to promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and the increase of science among them and us; and, generally to grant unto all mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as He alone knows to be best.
Given under my hand, at the city of New York, the 3d day of October, A.D. 1789.Yiz

I just learned about this today from reading Randy's post. I am so sadden to hear the news. I have attended Witness for Jesus Now Conventions from 89 to 93 and love the place. I miss being there and had wished I could go last year but couldn't go on account of my wife's health nor even this year.
That picture of the building on fire really hurts my heart.
I hope when they do rebuild it'll be better than ever before. They're right from their quatations, Trust in God and everything will be alright. I have a pretty good feeling it'll be just that.

Randy & Lady Lee and all the beautiful people,
I just wanna say thank you for all the work you've been putting into the counter cult work and helping others leave or recover/heal from the experiences that each one of them had gone through or is in the process of going through.
The work is important as I have learned starting in the late 80s up to this day, although I am not as active as I used to be.
I am sadden to read that the counter-cult programs is dewindling. But glad it's not altogether dead.

I know that flying is easier to get to places, given to some people that have time constraints. But otoh, people are missing out on what they could see if they traveled by car. There's so much beauty out there that it'd be a shame life went by and never got to see what's out there.

A flight attendant and cancer survivor has revealed her horror at being forced to show her prosthetic breast to a security agent during a pat-down at Charlotte Douglas International Airport.
Cathy Bossi from South Charlotte has been a flight attendant for over 30 years and has worked for U.S. Airways for the past 28 years.
She said she was asked to go through the full body-scanners at the airport in early August which she was reluctant to do because of fears of the radiation from the machine passing through her body.
The 3-year-breast cancer survivor agreed, but was then asked by two female Charlotte TSA agents to go to a private room for further screening, and they began what Ms Bossi described as an aggressive pat down.
She said they stopped when they got around to feeling her right breast - the one she had lost through her illness.
Ms Bossi said: 'She put her full hand on my breast and said, 'What is this?'. And I said, 'It's my prosthesis because I've had breast cancer.' And she said, 'Well, you'll need to show me that'.'
She was then apparently asked to remove the prosthetic breast from her bra and show it to the TSA agents.
'I did not take the name of the person at the time becaue it was just so horrific an experience, I couldn't believe someone had done that to me. I'm a flight attendant. I was just trying to get to work'.
Ms Bossi has since contacted the Legislative Affairs Team provided through her flight attendant union because she wants to see a crackdown on personal pat-downs.
'There are blowers and there are dogs out there that can sniff out bombs', she said. 'There's no reason to have somebody's hands touching your body parts.'
A TSA representative said although agents are allowed to ask to see and touch any passengers' prosthetic, they are not supposed to be removed and will investigate this matter.
Another woman is also comparing her experience at Lambert Airport in St. Louis to being sexually assaulted.
Penny Moroney was flying home to Chicago when while going through security, the metal in her artificial knees set off the detectors.
She had to undergo more screening because of the alarm going off and when Ms Moroney asked if she could go through a body scanner she was told none were available.
The only alternative offered to Ms Moroney was a pat-down which she said she found a horrific experience.
'Her gloved hands touched my breasts... went between them. Then she went into the top of my slacks, inserted her hands between my underwear and my skin... then put her hands up on the outside of my slacks, and patted my genitals', Ms Moroney explained.
'I was shaking and crying when I left that room. Under any other circumstance, if a person touched me like that without my permission, it would be considered criminal sexual assault.'
Ms Moroney complained to the TSA supervisor and then on the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) website.
The national site are now monitoring what it calls a 'flood of complaints' from across the country from people who are dissatisfied with the screening process at their airports.
Ms Moroney said that she wishes there were full body scanners everywhere so that she didn't have to endure having to be patted down.
When asked if putting hands down the front of someone's pants is excessive, The TSA responded that their officers' first priority is safety.
But the head of the TSA says the close-quarter body inspections causing a furor among some passengers and pilots are unavoidable in a time of terrorist threats.
John Pistole told CBS's The Early Show today that he understands the public distaste for more intense security procedures, particularly hand pat-downs.
Pilots' unions, which have raised health concerns about scans and objected to rigorous pat downs, say their members already have gone through security background checks, making further screening duplicative.
U.S. officials contend that radiation from the scans pose no health risk at all.
Mr Pistole gave no indication that screening rules for passengers are about to change, despite calls for alternative measures including Israeli-style one-on-one interviews with travelers.
'That's a good topic of public debate. Obviously we use layers of security and hopefully we're informed by the intelligence,' he told ABC.
But the television network also reported on Friday that TSA is testing new X-ray technology that would show a 'stick figure' instead of a passenger's full-body image.
As the U.S. airline industry enters one of the year's busiest seasons, administration officials face a continued uproar over the invasive screening techniques intended to foil attacks such as the 2009 Christmas Day bomb plot in which a Nigerian man is charged with trying to detonate explosives in his underwear aboard a Detroit-bound airliner.
Travelers and U.S. lawmakers have objected to the scans that produce revealing body images and pat down procedures that are highly personal.
Critics have called for a boycott of the screening procedures during next week's busy U.S. Thanksgiving travel season.
Some airports have threatened to privatise screeners rather than use TSA staff and pilots have sued in federal court to halt the screening procedures.
Amid the growing uproar, a new survey has revealed that more people will opt for road travel this holiday season over air.
The American Automobile Association (AAA) has revealed that 94 percent of Thanksgiving travelers nationally are expected to drive - up from 86 percent in 2008 and 80 percent in 2000 - this despite the high gas prices.
The air travel share is projected at 3.8 percent this Thanksgiving, the lowest figure in a decade.
Many aviation experts have scoffed at the full body scanner machines which costs more than $100,000 each saying they are an example of the focus on the perception of security that has pervaded airports since the September 11 attacks.
Security expert Bruce Schneier said: 'All these machines require you to guess the plot correctly. If you don't, then they are completely worthless'.
Mr Schneiere argued that assembling better intelligence on fliers is the key to making travel safer.
The TSA contend that the new machines are effective and have identified more than 130 dangerous or prohibited items this year. It also says the scanners incorporate protections for privacy.
But with the intense backlash from passengers and pilots, some airports are considering ditching TSA agents altogether.
Federal law allows airports to opt for screeners from the private sector instead.
The push is being led by a powerful Florida congressman who is a longtime critic of the TSA and counts among his campaign contributors some of the companies who might take the TSA's place.
For Republican Rep. John Mica of Florida, the way to make travelers feel more comfortable would be to remove TSA employees out of their posts at the ends of the snaking security lines.
This month, he wrote letters to the nation's 100 busiest airports asking that they request private security guards instead.
'I think we could use half the personnel and streamline the system,' Mr Mica said on Wednesday, calling the TSA a bloated bureaucracy.
Mr Mica is the ranking Republican on the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee. Once the new Congress convenes in January, the lawmaker is expected to lead the committee.
Companies that could gain business if airports heed Mr Mica's call have helped fill his campaign coffers.
In the past 13 years, Mica has received almost $81,000 in campaign donations from political action committees and executives connected to some of the private contractors already at 16 U.S. airports.
Private contractors are not a cure-all for passengers aggrieved about taking off
their shoes for security checks, passing through full-body scanners or getting hand-frisked.
For example, contractors must follow all TSA-mandated security procedures, including hand pat-downs when necessary.
Still, the top executive at the Orlando-area's second-largest airport, Orlando Sanford International Airport, said he plans to begin the process of switching to private screeners in January as long as a few remaining concerns can be met.
The airport is within Mr Mica's district, and the congressman wrote his letter after hearing about its experiences.
CEO Larry Dale said members of the board that runs Sanford were impressed after
watching private screeners at airports in Rochester, N.Y., and Jackson Hole, Wyoming. He said TSA agents could do better at customer service.
'Some of them are a little testy,' said Mr Dale, whose airport handles 2 million passengers a year. 'And we work hard to get passengers and airlines. And to have it undone by a personality problem?'
To the south, the city's main airport, Orlando International, said it is reviewing Mr Mica's proposal, although it has some questions about how the system would work with the 34 million passengers it handles each year.
In Georgia, Macon City Councilor Erick Erickson, whose committee oversees the city's small airport, wants private screeners there.
Mr Erickson called it a protest move. 'I am a frequent air traveler and I have experienced... TSA agents who have let the power go to their head,' Erickson said.
'You can complain about those people, but very rarely does the bureaucracy work quickly enough to remove those people from their positions.'
TSA officials would select and pay the contractors who run airport security. But Mr Dale thinks a private contractor would be more responsive since the contractor would need local support to continue its business with the airport.
'Competition drives accountability, it drives efficiency, it drives a particular approach to your airport,' Mr Dale said.
San Francisco International Airport has used private screeners since the formation of the TSA and remains the largest to do so.
The airport believed a private contractor would have more flexibility to supplement staff during busy periods with part-time employees, airport spokesman Mike McCarron said.
Also, the city's high cost of living had made it difficult in the past to recruit federal employees to run immigration and customs stations - a problem the airport didn't want at security checkpoints.
TSA spokesman Greg Soule would not respond directly to Mr Mica's letter, but reiterated the nation's roughly 460 commercial airports have the option of applying to use private contractors.
Pilots Michael S. Roberts of Memphis and Ann Poe of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, are also upset with the new measures and have refused to participate in either pat-downs or full body screening.
As a result they will not fly out of airports using these methods according to a lawsuit filed this week in Washington.
Mr Roberts is a pilot with ExpressJet Airlines and is on unpaid administrative leave because of his refusal to enter the whole-body scanners.
Ms Poe flies for Continental Airlines and will continue to take time off work as long as the existing regulations are in place.
'In her eyes, the pat-down is a physical molestation and the WBI scanner is not only intrusive, degrading and potentially dangerous, but poses a real and substantial threat to medical privacy,' the lawsuit states.Source: Cancer survivor forced to show prosthetic breast to TSA agents during airport pat-down | Mail Online
