...Back to my original question for just a minute... would the Crown of Thorns being MINE affect my ability to play Lying unto God on my from-hand-EC under special initiate? (Example, player B cannot play "Escape" to retreat his EC after playing "Deceit of Sapphira" since Player B caused the removal...) Does this precedent carry over to cards outside of battle?

I would think that you could play lying unto God to negate it, because it is interrupt the battle that has the stipulation that it only interrupts opponent's abilities that are removing you from battle.  I don't believe regular negates/interrupts have that rule (at least not what I can tell from the REG), so I would think that Lying unto God as a regular negate would work.

I have always thought it was that you do not achieve special initiative when being removed by your own card.

I have always thought it was that you do not achieve special initiative when being removed by your own card.

I was under the impression that that only counted when you were being removed by your own card of your own alignment, or otherwise if it was your own card that was in battle. Simply saying "your own card" would be easier however, and at any rate, I may be wrong, that's just what I thought.
