What is the latest news on paul and Jan crouch?
Well Jan is scheduled to appear on TBN next week The Air date is set for 22FEB 2012. Now I'm not sure about this but here seems to be the latest update:I certainly hope this information is wrong but...It's said the Co-founder of Trinity Broadcasting Network TBN did file for Divorce in 2010. The quote was stated as: Janice Crouch filed for the divorce of her estranged husband Paul Franklin Crouch ...which might explain why Jan lives in Florida. Janice Crouch, Vice-President, currently earns $361,000 from TBN so long as she continues to appear on broadcasts.Founder Paul Crouch remains living in California. It's claimed Paul Crouch Sr. is not a stranger to the legal system and has been involved in more than one legal settlement. One of which a very popular case --despite everything held in low key:A 1998 scandal which involved Paul Crouch Founder of TBN in an alleged gay relation. The network, little known outside fundamentalist Christian circles, was buffeted by unwanted publicity when it surfaced from the The Times that Crouch had paid a former employee Enoch Lonnie Ford $425,000 to keep silent about an alleged homosexual tryst. case numbers: 04CC05609, 01CF0559, Solano Courts case number: FCM107776 San Bernardino County: M618996.This would certainly explain what brought about the 2010 Divorce. Janice and Paul project the image of a happily married couple. But off the air, they lead separate lives and almost never stay under the same roof, sleeping in separate bedrooms according to former TBN employees and others who have spent time with the couple.(On a personal Note: This such a shame because I thought the world of those folks. Such a tragedy. But when you embezzle money laundering Gods money ...expect this punishment).Other Information: about TBN ...another Legal case was filed by former head of finance TBN which filed these first set of charges.Other Headline News:Paul Crouch Jr. abruptly resigned OCT 10 2011 from Trinity Broadcasting Network to keep his name clear.Then The Big Headlines hit the Public with this one !A second legal charge has been filed by TBN's Paul and Jan Crouch's - Granddaughter which is Suing for Unlawful Distribution of 'Charitable Assets'Posted on February 10, 2012It appears that Paul and Jan Crouch, founders of TV empire Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN) need to keep their friends close, and their enemies even closer - especially if that enemy is one of their grandchildren.An article in the Christian Post reveals that Brittany B. Koper, granddaughter of Paul and Jan Crouch, is suing her former attorneys for "breach of duties, inflicting emotional distress and professional negligence." Apparently the attorneys advised her to help cover up financial abuse and fraud at TBN.After Koper took charge of TBN's finance department, she allegedly discovered illegal financial practices on the part of the company's directors, but was told to protect the information."Following her appointment, Ms. Koper was specifically instructed to falsify public financial disclosures, to falsify government records, and to otherwise cover up conduct of the TBN Companies and their directors that Ms. Koper reasonably believed to be unlawful," the suit claims.None of this is surprising, but if the allegations are true, it's going to be hard for a lot of people to turn a deaf ear to someone as close to the family as a grandchild. Many will still defend them and claim this attack is from the devil, however, it doesn't sound like Roper set out on this course empty handed. It appears she has some leverage:Her attorney, MacLeod, also told the OC Register that Koper is preparing a package of documents regarding her charges that she will submit to the Internal Revenue Service for review.It looks like she took evidence of the fraud with her when she left. Now, this should get very, very interesting.Read the full article where the above quotes was taken from the Chri
Audie Murphy's Army-issue weapon?
as he was in the infantry he would have had an M1 garand rifle But A. Murphy was slight-of-build (5'6", 140lbs.), would he have maybe been issued an M1 carbine? Is there any military or scholarly documentation? after further checking I noted Murphy did have a M1 carbine during the war. Also, weapons were not issued base on weight or height. Officers and NCO were issued carbines in lieu of the 45 pistol.......whereas infantrymen were issued M1 garands............. But Murphy began as an infantryman, so did he have a Garand at that time? He eventually received a battlefield commission to 2nd Lt. (late 1944?), but had already served in Sicily, at Anzio, and in the Anvil-Dragoon landings in southern France in mid-August, 1944: did he use a Garand in those actions? The Garand would be the superior weapon at longer ranges; it was also more reliable than the M1 carbine. I will ask a retired Army Col. I know (who used Garand, M1 carbine, M3 "greasegun," M14, and M16A1) whether the stature of the soldier was taken into account in issuing weapons. I know Murphy was rejected by the Marines, Navy, and Army (initially) for being too small. At that point he was 5'5", 110lbs. But he had extensive experience with rifles as a young hunter in Depression-era Texas, and was an excellent shot. For clarification I served 22 years of service with the US Army. When I entered serice I weighted about 135 pounds. I was issued an M1 garand, not a carbine. I also fought in Korea 1951, and I still had an m1 garand (although I was a little heaver). I will say again, size and weight had nothing to due with the issuing of a weapon. Infantryman were issued M1 garands, certain crews, tank, artillery, mortor squads, machingun crews, etc, were issued the 45 pistol or a carbine. And, carbines and 45 pistols were also issued to officers and NCO's. It was job assignment not weight whereby which type of weapon was issued..............I will add that an infantryman always preferred the m1 garand over the carbine because it shot further and killed more effectively. I'd be glad to answer any question you may have on this matter in case you cannot contact the Colonel..... P.S. as a veteran I am well aware of Lt Murphy's exploits in WW2....... Well, as a battle-experienced veteran, I will take your word for it re type of weapon issued to new infantrymen. I know motorpool, tank crews, and other troops performing certain tasks were given shorter, more compact personal defense weapons. In the (first) Gulf War, truck-drivers were even issued dusted-off .45 greaseguns. Re A. Murphy's battlefield commission: it was given on 22Feb.1945 (2nd Lt.), not late 1944, about a month after the action cited in his Medal of Honor award. Thank you for your input. My friend who was an Army Col., had an M1 carbine with full-auto capability. He said it was prone to jamming. He said the greasegun was too heavy, but good for putting a lot of large caliber bullets down-range. He has great affection for the M1 Garand. I have yet to ask him his opinion of the M16A1. by the time the m16 hit the field I was about to retire so can't talk to much about that piece. Can relate to the grease gun. It could be fired with one arm and stay on target, I found. The M2 carbine could fire single or auto. It had to have the 30 round clip or it would be dry after couple trigger pulls. The 30 cal. light machine gun needed a nack to shoot slow. The right hand was kept flat in front of trigger then swept back and forth, creating short bursts of fire. The 50 cal heavy machine gun had a slow rate of fire and somewhat easy to control fire direction and keep on target area...........Never played with mortars.......or artillery. Thank you very much for this additional information. Did you find the Garand to be an excellent combat weapon in Korea? Any problems keeping up rate of fire with 8 round enbloc clips? How many clips would you take with you on your person into the field? Would the clips mainly be in cloth bandoliers? Or in ammo-sacks? Or both? I am sure you also got resupplied in the field. What is your opinion of the BAR? I know its HEAVY, and has only a 20 round magazine; but I also know it is an excellent weapon (like all of John Browning's designs), and was used extensively in Korea, often in urban combat. I owned an AR-15 civilian version of the M16A2, with a heavy barrel. I found it quite fun for plinking. It was extremely accurate; light-weight; and, in my experience, reliable, with low recoil so that many rounds could be fired quickly but accurately. Of course I cleaned it after each use. But the .223 round, while deadly, does not have the killing-power and penetration capability (into fortifications or dense jungle) of the .30-06. Again, many thanks for your combat-veteran's feedback...I value it highly. (And thanks for your service to the USA.) My next rifle purchase will be a Garand.
