I am not writing this to offend any person who has successfully escaped from a POW camp, but it might offend those who have gained their physical freedom but not gained any ground against spiritual adversaries.
There was a time when I thought it was acceptable and clever to use methods typified in 'The Great Escape to escape unintended confinement. After reading the bob-fiction book regarding men like George Harsh and some Hurricane flyer named 'Weir', I have a much different perspective. There are people who are actually captives in family situations they do not want to be in, including children and spouses who are being mistreated. No person will gain angelic advantage by contriving false names and stealing identities by using stolen or forged documents, but such practices were common during World War II and other wars which amounted to evil against evil methods of operation.
Temporarily disguising yourself to escape a dangerous situation is acceptable, but denying your own family name or creating an alias is NOT acceptable in real spiritual battles that overflow into physical battles. 'Nicknames' or code names is not the same as stealing another family name, and you are better off coming up with something like I am anti-Wickserham' or 'I am anti-Trovolta' than saying 'I'm Jane Doe' when you do not want to reveal too much information about yourself to strangers.
Another unacceptable plan of escape from forms of captivity or a dangerous situation that you did not intend to be in would include STEALING means of transportation. When I read an account that a POW escaped from a German war camp and then went on to steal a boat, he deserved to be incarcerated again when the owner of the boat filed a complaint. Angelic protection often occurs when you do NOT commit sin to try to escape other forms of sin. At first, I was somewhat appalled that George Harsh, originally from Milwaukee, was pardoned for murdering a store clerk, but at least a few people who have prayed for forgiveness to a real unseen God for committing murder in the form of abortion have obtained pardon and 'second chances' to prove they are pro-Life and pro-Truth, even though terrible government systems initially allowed the abortions to occur.
I was a bit baffled when I found out that Hurricanes were fighter planes and that there was some character named 'Little S' who has no other information other than being tied to 'Little X' in security systems. Whether the author of 'The Great Escape' inserted new Trojan horse system into his paperback, I do not know. I certainly know that if I give my maiden name to a stranger, I am not stealing someone else's identity, but chosing to use the best name in my personal history for self identification rather than contriving a lie.
It is difficult to escape spiritual captivity, especially when there is no one willing to correct your patterns tied to improper or illegal methods of operation simply because you believed another liar or sought training from people who did not believe in the moral standards attached to the TORAH and prophetic writings in the Bible. There are plenty of examples of the wrong way to handle situations in the Bible as, so books like 'The Great Escape' should not expect to be ignored when patterns of anti-commandment behaviors are confessed to but not repented of. There may have been a reason why so few men permanently escaped from prison camps, especially if it seems as if they were treated reasonable well in the camps, as seems to be the case for at least some of the military officers that were captured.
Being truthful about historically painful situations might be the only way that a military system finally decides to exhibit courage and truthfulness while in captivity rather than exhibit too many methods of intentional deception and lowering themselves to the standards of the typical politician or religious hypocrite trying to avoid punishment for their obvious sins.
Lying to get out of captivity is as evil as contriving lies about your spouse in order to gain sympathy when you file for divorce, contrary to your sworn DUTY to remain faithful. If a sworn duty to escape imprisonment matters, then a sworn oath of marital intentions ought to matter even more to a person of unseared conscience. If you escaped a dangerous, involuntary incarceration situation without committing sin in the process, you have accomplished perfection in that area, which is possible with God. Escaping the physical captivity that mind-altering drugs cause is aften even more difficult than escaping a burning building, since fewer people in current government systems are likely to help you reject drugs and 'go clean' than would be willing to pull you out of a dangerous building.
It's biblical 2/15; on the 14th day of the 2nd month, I officially became a german Chocolate Cake destroyer without going to Annapolis for my training.
