  CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Rood
rood in medieval times, consisting either of a wick and oil in a cresset, or rood- bowl, or of a taper on a pricket in the centre of a mortar of brass, lattern, or copper.
Rood was covered with a veil (rood-cloth), which in England was either violet or fl, and often was marked with a white cross.
rood frequently stood not on or near the screen and loft, but on a separate transverse beam called the rood-beam, which was similarly carved and gilded.

 Rood - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rood is an archaic word for “pole”, from Anglo-Saxon rōd “pole”, specifically “crucifix”, from Proto-Germanic *rodo, cognate to Old Saxon rōda, Old High German ruoda “rod”; the relation of rood to rod, from Anglo-Saxon rodd “pole” is unclear; the latter was perhaps influenced by Old Norse rudda “club”).

 Nicholas Odgen Rood
Rood's colour system proposes concentric colour-circles for the first time, based on the primary colours red, green and blue, and possessing a total of 12 outer segments of equal size (not shown here).
As a physicist, Rood was interested in the additive mixture of colours, and he used the spinning colour-tops devised by James C. Maxwell to help determine the exact position of individual colours and their predominance.
Nevertheless, Rood had himself emphasised that the question of an appropriate combination of colours (harmony) cannot be answered "using the methods of the laboratory", and that "dark, and even obscure considerations" were involved.

 Field Guide profile: Michael Rood and His Rood Awakenings
Rood also is considered in many circles as an expert in clarifying the "Hebrew Roots" of the Christian faith, and emphasizing those roots in evaluating, in particular, various New Testament passages.
Rood is only one in a long line of men (and a few women) in the past two centuries and more who have gathered a following around their dogmatic and bombastic proclamations regarding end-times events.
When Rood's predictions of a great war in the Mid-East to begin in the fall of 2000 failed, I was convinced this would barely slow down his ability to gather new followers and keep his old ones.

Rood claims that worship on Sunday is an act of idolatry because in the ancient world the first day of the week was reserved for worship of the sun god and fertility gods.
Rood persuaded about ten people to move there to be near him, although they all moved out (except for Rood's daughter Leigh and her husband) before long, once they found that the jobs and ministries that Rood promised never developed.
Rood also differs from TWI in that he denounces its theory of seven administrations, which is a repackaging of E.W. Bullinger's ultradispensationalism which asserts that baptism should not be practiced by Christians, and that only Paul's seven epistles are authoritative for Christians today.

Rood recalled the fleeing Viet Cong was "a grown man, dressed in the kind of garb the VC usually wore." There were other attackers as well, he said, and his boat and Kerry's boat took significant fire.
Besides, as Beldar notes, Rood's description of the events only challenges two assertions made by the Swiftvets: that the VC killed was dressed in a loincloth., and that the beaching of the PCF was an impulsive and foolish tactical move that amounted to grandstanding.
Rood affirms that the beaching tactic was discussed and agreed to by all three officers in advance.

 The Dream of the Rood   (Site not responding. Last check: )
The Rood is torn down in line 73 and buried, only to be found soon by the followers of Christ who adorned it with gold and silver, beginning the tradition of the adoration of the Cross.
The Rood identifies the situation that must have bothered any recent converts to Christianity: it explains that it should be seen as a victory-sign not because Christ was crucified on it but rather because of what Christ accomplished through His crucifixion.
In doing so the Rood emphasizes that for Christ death did not mean defeat, a concept probably very difficult for the Anglo-Saxons, steeped in their warrior traditions, to accept.

 Captain's Quarters
Rood states that part of his motvation for speaking after 35 years is that he hears Swifties telling stories that he "knows are untrue" then doesn't give an example of one.
Rood's critique of the Swifties is limited solely to these substantive questions raised in UFC: 1) The superior numbers JFK faced, 2) the characteristics of the one KIA claimed by JFK.
Rood, states that aside from JFK's KIA there was one other VC who jumped from the same spiderhole, while others shot at them from the tree line and opposing shore.

 QandO: Swifties and Rood
Rood confirms the "Unfit for Command" version, but his explanation says it was done for tactical surprise (it wasn't standard operating procedure) while the "Unfit for Command" claims or infers that it was done for other less savory reasons (again, based on the treatment by "Tour of Duty").
Rood also confirms that when the initial ambush was sprung Kerry's boat was not the boat that turned and beached.
Rood makes it clear that the tactic was preplanned to use if the circumstances were appropriate and the results that day back up its use.

 Precise Truth: Rood Analysis: "ambush" scenario would not warrant Kerry citation
That's important because it means nothing Rood can testify to was used against Kerry in his "attacking a numerically superior force in the face of intense fire" after a "B-40 rocket exploded close aboard PCF 94", as his Silver Star states that he was rewarded for.
What is clear from even Rood's statement is that nothing which has been described involved "attacking a numerically superior force in the face of intense fire" which Kerry's report of the incident suggested he should have been so rewarded.
That is not the same as the After Action report which Kerry would have filed and the likely source of the exaggerations, which even Rood has not testified to, which would warrant the description Kerry was supposedly so cited for, exactly as the SwiftVets have always indicated would likely be discovered...

 Homecoming in Dream of the Rood and The Wanderer
The characters in Dream of the Rood and The Wanderer maintain opposed perspectives that greatly influence the way they view their common state of desolation.
This exile saddens all of the characters: the dreamer is "all afflicted with sorrows," the Cross is "sore afflicted with griefs," and the earth-walker is "wretched with care" (Rood 19-20; Wanderer 69).
Before the dreamer approached the Cross he was dispirited, but upon hearing the tale of the Cross and Christ his "heart's thoughts were urged on the way hence." Still physically alone, he is content in his exile because he believes in his salvation.

 Michael Rood: WAY Colleagues, Occult Calendars & False Prophecies
Michael Rood has neglected to point out that the resources for their calendar calculations are found in astrology, numerology and kabbalist gematria.
On September 24, 1999, Rood, with an obviously greatly increased perception, stated, "The countdown to the 7th millennium came and went without incident." In his imagination, the Day of the Lord was postponed for just one month, giving time for a month of preparation, according to his occult based, "astronomical and mathematical evidence".
Rood expected the invasion of the United States and Israel, with the concept of Gog and Magog, either at the end of September, 2000 or October 28, 2000, although his so-called prophecies are becoming more open ended.
