To be honest, Bear you DO have an agenda and have said so since day one. Your family story is that someone survived, so clearly you DON'T believe that they all died. You question EVERYTHING that supports all the family being murdered at every turn. Heck, I remember somewhere on the other forum your saying something to the effect that "this old Bear would NEVER believe a word the Russians said" about the recent findings.
BEARS ANSWER: My agenda, as you care to call it, is quite different than most people's. I was told a story when I was about 4 years old, about 1947, which told me the events which occured to Nicholas II and the others on the night of 16/17 July in the Ipatiev House . [When I remember where the post is, I'll bring it here so everyone can read it.] When I was in High School , about 1956 o 1957, I discovered the story I had been told about the events of that eventful night were different than what was in the history books. For the last forty-some years, I've been trying to understand why anyone would tell a four year old such a story which was accurate to a point and then be so completely wrong and then accurately tell me where the nine bodies would be found and that two would be missing.
FA, I told this story how I became interested in the IF when I first joined the forum so this isn't anything new about me.
Just because I was told a story doesn't mean that I want it to be true. As I have stated many times, I don't care where the truth takes me, I'm just interested in the truth and enjoying the journey.
...How about this Bear? For the RECORD state your position clearly and precisely here and now, of what you actually believe, think and have to say on the subject, then everyone will be on the same page.
BEARS ANSWER: Of course I can.
1, Do you believe that anyone escaped alive in Ekaterinburg? yes or no. If yes, WHO.
BEARS ANSWER: I have no evidence that Nicholas II and the others escaped execution on the night of 16 July 1918.
1.5 If believe Anastasia survived, since you already admit she was NOT Anna Manahan, then who do you believe she was?
BEARS ANSWER: I have no evidence that GD Anastasia or GD Marie survived.
BEARS ANSWER: If AA wasn't FS, then I haven't the slighest idea who AA was.
2. Do you believe that the remains discovered previously in Ekaterinburg were the Imperial Family.
BEARS ANSWER: Yes.
3. Do you believe the recent discoveries are the missing children? If not, why not?
BEARS ANSWER: Why would I come to the conclusion that the missing children have been found on 29 July 2007 before the test results are announced?
While we are waiting for the results: I do have a train load of questions. If you want me to list some of the questions I've mention over on that other forum, I'll be happy to do so. But, I didn't think you wanted any kind of discussion here. Was I mistaken?
anyone else care to add questions for Bear to answer so we can all understand her position better?
Does anyone have any other questions?
