BBC: US tries to Boost Patriotism, Faked Rescue: Jessica Lynch
by Cassiline inbritish broadcasting corp. documentary concluded after interviewing iraqis that the rescue was a hollywood-style stunt designed to boost patriotism at a difficult time in the war.
washington post, richard cohen says that their reports were not accurate.
the post initially said lynch was shot and stabbed as she fought off her attackers "gun blazing" until she was taken prisoner.

I would have to reserve judgment here as well. The facts are however, she was MIA; she was Captured; she was Beaten Badly: she did have multiple broken bones and fractures. Outside of that did the US over play their hand, possibly? Did they see an opportunity, possibly? I think we should keep in mind that even though we were in a war of little resistance, we were ambushed out of the blue on multiple occasions, we did not know who was good & who was bad. They may have felt it best to go in over protected than to just stroll in, given the circumstances. The military has always had a kind of John Wayne still when it comes to their fallen brother's/sister's who are MIA/POW and I can understand if it was someone I loved - would probably have done the same. But, I do agree they may have let the rumors get out of hand and let the hype take over, after all it's good PR. We may never know the truth on this one and if you take any event and have several people look at it, they will all come away with similar but distinctly differnt views? Good post and good discussion. Let us know if you learn more.

To whom belongs all the Watchtower's wealth?
by JH ini know this won't happen, but who would get all the money and the buildings and the lots, if the watchtower society would close down?
how many people would benefit from this?.
are there any figures on how much wealth the watchtower has accumulated over the years?

It's even better than that, the money the congergation garantees, as a non-profit and a corp. this money is considered capital investments and can be used as additional write off's (not all of the corp's under WT are non-profit). In addition if you think about it, the hard dollars are the land and some of the materials, we build most of it with all of the different trades throught the various congergations. To boot some of the materials are donated and that is a tax write off for the donator as well. Land is picked up "Tax-Free" and sold the same - every wonder what happens with the gain-on-sale when a property is sold. I missed the rebate checks in the mail - damn just my luck.

WHY DO I DREAM ABOUT THIS?
by heyfea ini have left the organization for many years now and i am very happy about it.
however, from time to time, i dream that i am out in service.
i don't want to be there and i think to myself, just walk away, go home, it's just that simple.

I have had similar dreams, from what I understand it is simply the unconscious mind working out unresolved issues of the past. It was funny but the best one, it was Sunday and I really wanted to watch this football game and turns out someone hid a TV in the bathroom, I had to keep coming up with excusses to go to the bathroom.

Change is not always an easy process, I was reading your posting and at first thought I was reading my own? With the exception I was DF'd, I asked to many questions and had the "Bloom of Youth" thing happen(never had sex - just sins of the heart and made out). Anyway, I had the same as far as focus and it was my brother that got me focused, he was younger (5-years) and I was now raising him so I was focused like mad. He passed a few years ago and man that hit harder than the DF'd at 18 and life to go - and had no clue of the world. Recently I have realized it's ok to focus on myself but being someone who always enjoyed helping or working with others, I started spending time with the Big Brothers and it is pretty rewarding and I look forward to it. These kids just need someone to talk with and show them they care. It seems we had the same sense of feeling regarding the "counseling" that was being done and I would imagine you enjoy working with others as well. Maybe look into some local chapters of various organizations and I mean, retirement communities, kids homes, etc. In any event, enjoy your journey and I wish you the best.

The GB is becoming like the French Government: Yes, No, Did we say that, that's not what we meant, stop, go, no wait, did we say 1914 - that was a misprint, blah blah blah. I agree the next few issues should be huge. Has anyone ever look into copies of "Articles of Incorporation" for the WT? Being a non-profit they have a lot of room for misc expendetures, but between the Tax Returns, Filings with the IRS and subsidiary corporations - well, it would make for interesting reading. If some one has found any of this let me know, thanks.

Who does the President answer to if he is not of the annoited class ???
by run dont walk inwith don adams (maxwell smart) now in control of the presidentcy, and not being of the annoited class, who does he answer to ????????.
he has no channel with jehovah/jesus like the annoited class.. what allows him to make any decisions ????.
just think of all the crap the watchtower will be shovelling, when the 1914 generation passes completely on and there is none of the annoited class left, it has already started the last few years but i'm sure the best is yet to come !!!!!!

He answers to no one, mainly because asking probing questions is not allowed anyway. I have been thinking about the 1914 bit as well, I was sure when 9/11 happened my family and all sh-t a big one thinking that was it. They are running out of time and I am wondering how big of a shovel they will use to dig out of this one. Your question is a good one though.

My heart goes out to you as well. I may have over looked the state you were in it would be helpful, but knowing state laws is very important in this matter. I do not know your relationship with these people at this time as far as visitation but at this point I would be careful to say the least. It will be very difficult for them in any form of legal action regarding your custody, however, from what I have read they could try some form of "mental" reasoning with regards to you. (I don't mean that in a bad way towards you, I certainly would be mental myself) I have heard them (elders) speak of this on several occasions, never seen it done, but I would none-the-less keep my wits about me when around these people. Honestly I think all will be fine, some times you have to fight fire with fire and if these people are as you say, a PI can easily detail this information for courts review and would be an advantage to you. No matter what, take care. Wish I had more comforting words for you.
