I cannot believe thatthis thread coninues. Six pages long? Rocky? I here you found your thread. Is it ok? I guess this earned you a ticket to the "Civil Politics" thread. Boy, that combination of words definitely seems to be a major contradiction of terms! Jumbo Shrimp? Civil Politics? Well, have at it boys!!

They won't be Sea Monkey WOW's, they will be Amazing Sea Monkey WOW's! I hope some of them get sent to Tahiti, for they would feel right at home!

Whoaaa Nelly! Radar- I never offered any judgement in that last post. I simply answered Garth's question. I will state his question again so it is clear. Here it is again: Garth put the question in the singular, i.e. "a homosexual", and I illustrated where one homosexual did to me what he did, and also how numerous homosexuals did what they did. I simply answered his question, that's all. P-Mosh The two guys in the bar, while doing what hetero couples have also done, did something else which set them apart: They told me and my bartender friend that they had the "right" to do what they were doing in public becuase it was "National Gay Appreciation Month". They said we were trampling on their "right" to do what they were doing. If you will look back somewhere in this long thread, you can re-read the more detailed account. The reason I brought it up then was because I wanted to illustrate that many gays want "extra special rights" or treatment. I think that "Hate Crime" laws fall into this category. In my answer to Garths' question, I didn't offer any judgement however. I did call them "queers" simply because they were calling themselves queers, and so queer must be ok these days. My position on the gay scene is simply this: I think it is as much sin as I think adultry, stealin', lyin', or drinkin' too much and raisin' hell is sin. I do not propose that we persecute gays, and if you'll look back in this thread a ways Radar, you'll find a few posts where I mentioned my relationship with a gay gal whom I consider a friend. And since I do not believe that homosexuality (gay guy or lesbian), is eithe Godly or Natural, I do not believe in legalizing gay marriages. So, Radar, I hope you are not too disillusioned with me now. I like you too!! [This message was edited by Jonny Lingo on March 02, 2004 at 12:34.]

Maybe yhey are setting up an Amazing Sea Monkey circus. Maybe they don't want to be out done by a bunch of fleas..

Last I knew, they were in Harrisburgh PA. Anybody know anythin about em?

Garth said: Back in 1974 when I was seventeen a fifty year old queer tried to molest me in his mobile home down in Louisiana. I had to beat him up to get outa there. And then while in Seattle in 1997 a large group of queers disgusted me and a large amount of "straights" (including families with little children) with their public make out sessions in a very public tourist area. And as people walked past this large group of queers celebrating their Bill Clinton "National Gay Month", these guys would yell; "Get over it! We're here and we're queer!" And then in the same year as I was northbound on one of Alaska's ferries, we had two gay guys in the ships bar and lounge who, while on a couch would not stop their make out and "heavy petting" (genital grabbing) session, and as I was called out to ask them to please stop and to "go get a room", they insulted me and later on insulted the Chief Mate, and all the while many disgusted passengers in the bar as well as kids in the passageway looked on. It was disgusting and insulting. So, you asked when, and that was "when". We already talked about those incidents long ago on this thread. You can go back and get the full story if you like. And, you can head out to Canada too if you like..

Wow. That's, well, Amazing!

Hey, HEY, HEY!!! I'm on to this! You guys are killin me!! Listen: Have any of you all ever seen the movie "Amos and Andrew"? It stars Nicolas Cage and Samuel L. Jackson. In the movie, The two guys get thrown together in a ridiculous situation where Nicolas Cage ends up holding Samuel L. Jackson as a hostage in some ritzy Yankee house in a New England neighborhood. While they are awaiting what the cops on "the outside" are gonna do, they end up having a heart to heart conversation. And when Nicolas Cage "bares his heart", he tells a ridiculously funny story of how he ordered some "Sea Monkeys" when he was a kid, and how he just "wanted to have sweet family in his own home" like the picture of the "happy family of Sea Monkeys" in the picture in the Boys Life Magazine! But when he ordered up his Sea Monkeys, and tried to hatch them out, he ended up with nothing but a "bunch of goo!" which is why he ended up being a criminal".. Ohmigod, it was sooo funny the way he put it, I just laughed to tears! And now, here are you guys talking about the same thing! Man, you all have had me laffin!! Yet, I never did buy any Sea Monkeys... If you haven't seen it, you gotta rent that flick for that scene alone... Now Tom, I saw "Bowling For Colombine", so now you gotta see "Amos and Andrew"....

Remind me to place my "Great International Soccer Incident" some time. You were part of it, and it was too funny...Did I already tell it?

Lee married a really sweet Seventh or Ninth Corps girl by the name of Gail Krahn. She was a WOW in Maryland when I first went to Twig. I am onlt ASSuming that Lee went back to Texas, seeins as how he was such Texan in the first place. Maybe Ex10 knows. Ex10? Man old Lee was one ornery sonofagun! I liked him for it though. One time he and I got into a slap fight outside of our dorm room at Owens Hall where you and I first lived (you had the bunk above me, remember?), and man did we get out of hand! He thought I was some kind of a pushover, and was really cocky about it, so I planted a hard right hand print right on the side of his face, and man was he pi$$ed! He got me back a good one, and I got him again, and we did not have the love of God in our hearts as that thing progressed! Finally someone came out and broke us up, and we were even better friends after that. Pretty funny though. Hey cool about the Biathlon. I hope we Yanks make a good showing, but I hear that the Germans and Scandies are really good at it and usually dominate. Nice for you all to have a little of that International action though. Near Madawaska?

And ya know Dot Matrix, There has been, since I can remember, plays around the U.S. called "Passion Plays". My mom took us to one once, and it was a play about Christs' crucifixion. There is a fairly famous one in the Black Hills of South Dakota. I think it is called the "Black Hills Passion PLay". http://www.blackhills.com/bhpp/pp_index.htm I can't remember where the one was that we saw because I was only five or so. There is also a really famous Passion Play over in Germany at a place called "Oberammergau" or something like that. This village is high in the Alps, and people go this Passion PLay like a pilgrimage. This may have been the first Passion Play, which evidently started a trend. I think my mother went to that one once. Here is a brief blurb on it: Well, I thought that fairly interesting. So I would venture to say that Mel's movie is a cinematic Passion Play. But I always did think that it was weird to say "passion" when making a reference to death. But what do I know? I grew up an illiterate moron, mostly..

Valerie, I have a message for you in your private topics... Jonny

So Rafael, what about a searcher? Or someone who just thought they were an athiest?

Right on Valerie...Shalom

Well, I haven't seen it as of yet, as I said yesterday. But I do look fwd to it. Down in Juneau, the movie has been sold out, and friends of mine there have been unable to get tickets yet. They figure they will be able to get to see it sometime next week. There is no theater in this here "one moose" town (got no horses), so I may have to wait for the video. I have, for a long time now, viewed almost all references to Jesus Christ in movies and such without judging them (the references) harshly according to details in the Scripture. There are many details which many of you refer to as "Waybrain" thinking, but to me, if they are things I learned in The Way, that are in fact biblically accurate, I just view them as "biblically accurate" and not as "Waybrain". Now, if I scoffed at innaccuracies in portrayals of Christ or of Scripture, then that would in fact be "Waybrain thinking" to me. But thank God I am way past that old egotism which I fell into as a Wayfer. So, regardless of what apparently is a "touch of Catholicism" in this film, I really don't care at all. Since this movie obviously portrays the sacrifice of our lord Jesus Christ and his resurrection, and has such an emotional impact on the viewers, I suspect that a whole bunch of people are going to get born again, as well as gain a bigger perspective on forgiveness, self forgiveness, compassion for others and all kinds of very good things. Unfortunately, I will probably miss the "experience" of viewing this movie with a bunch of mostly strangers like has been mentioned here, as well as what I have read in the news and etc. One poster here said that it was amazing that "no one got up for popcorn", and that they were silent and etc. A friend of ours whose unbelieving mother did see it in Juneau, said that her mother was overwhelmed to the point of sobbing and asked God for forgiveness, and asked Jesus into her heart. That woman also said that when the movie was over, there was a thunderous applause, and then, many stunned and teary eyed people in the lobby as people walked out. She said that there was almost a "commeraderie" amongst the viewers as they walked out, with some of them being "small town acquaintences" with this new experience together. That would be a cool thing to experience I think...

Well, as I understand it, and I haven't seen it yet, the resurrection is part of the film. Apparently they show the empty tomb at the end of the movie...Anybody who has seen it? What say you?

I really look fwd to seeing it. Except that there is no theater in my isolated little Alaskan fishing town. It is playing in Juneau ninety miles south of here, and exWay friends of ours plan on going to it. They say that all of the tickets are sold out way in advance though. I am particularly interested in having my sixteen year old son see it. He thinks that life is not fair and too hard sometimes, and since he was raised with lots of "Bible", I think that this may help him put things into perspective. I also think that it will do the same for me too. And my God! Even thinking about the scene described about Mary reaching down to help her son with a skinned knee clutches my heart and makes me all teary eyed! I may have to wait for the video though...

JZFKY- No my dear, it wasn't the one armed man, for it was the Butler who did it! To you all- Yeah, I have seen the ugliness at times, and as you know, I have gotten into it a time or two. But I usually walk away or come back later as.....Someone Else... I got really mad once when I was "Buck", and in a thread about VPW, someone said that they hoped that "Vee Pee was roasting like a spitted pig with his guts hanging out over the coals of hellfire" or something close to that, and a whole lot of the other posters jumped on the bandwagon and cheered that sentiment. So, when I read it I was so sickened, I just left the Grease Spot for about five or six months and came back as me, Jonny Lingo. And ya know, we can all probably agree that our time spent here probably does detract somewhat from our daily lives and things that "we ought to be doing". I call it a "time stealer sometimes". But you get hooked on it, ya know? It's like; "I just made a post that disagrees with Rocky's theology or politics, so I just gotta go back and see what he or anyone else said. Did he agree with my "logic"? Did anybody else agree with my sterling "insight? My intellect?" Haw haw.. And when that happens, it's hard to stay away. I would think that it should be easier for us to walk away since we are mostly anonymous to eachother, but it is still hard, isn't it? I think we are all a bit too vain at times, and here our vanity gets in the way too much. And I mean no disrespect to anyone by saying that, I am just talking about human nature is all. Anyway, it's a gorgeous day here in Haines, Alaska. The sun is shining bright and the crystal snow on the peaks is blinding. I'm out here and am going to go and split up some more firewood....Peace to you all! :)-->

Yeah Zix, I really hate that; "Oh, both sides made mistakes, so therefore no one was really at fault" argument. I hear that crapola from school teachers where our kids go all of the time. but hey, "It's all good......" (gagmee)

Yup. The Iditarod starts next week. I even know a musher gal whom I met up n Two Rivers north of Fairbanks this winter who is going to be in it. Keep your eye out for "Ally Zurk" or Zurch, or something like that. Her friends just call Ally Z. I met her with a friend at a "musher bar" one night while we were imbibing... Yeah, Bob was so funny when he was officiating...And Lee Turner was playing goalie..

Private Topics Tom Strange

[[[[[[Tom Strange]]]]]] (Those little marks mean left hooks and right crosses and head butts) "Big Brother" was the figurative person of the all knowing Government in the book "1984" by George Orwell. Rocky- Wow that seems so strange to be cyber stalked and harassed. I hope this can be worked out. I am glad you found your thread...

No, you are wrong there Trefor. Although they were British subjects at the time, they are still considered early Americans and some of the earliest founders of this Nation. You may not think so, but I live here, and I know that they are considered by a vast majority of Americans to be some of the earliest of America's Founders, and founders of the religious freedom that we enjoy here. That was their sole reason for coming which is to me very spiritually significant. Most certainly they were not numbered against those American Brits who stood up to King George III in the 1770's, because they were dead by then. But the spirit of revolution that lived in the the Pilgrims was further exhibited by Adams, Jefferson, Washington, Franklin and the rest. And, agree you may not, but it is extremely indicative of "Christian beginnings" when the very first or at least one of the very first "compacts" or "constitutional documents" starts out with...In the name of God", and also includes the words; "the advancement of the Christian Faith".. And, btw, this was to be a simple piece of evidence to Mr. Mosh that the history of Christianity in our government goes way back before the Cold War. And, I have read numerous times in the past of references to God and Christ in documents from back in the 1770's and on. Just thought it would be cool to post the very first one that was binding..

Tom, Rocky, et al, This is too strange! And kinda even funny! I didn't know things like this could happen here. We can report eachother, or, the moderator can repremand us or even ban us from some threads? That's kinda funny in a way. I do know that it does get pretty ugly here at times, but I never felt any moderation was going to occur. Hey! Where were my protectors when I was under attack? :)--> Well good luck with finding your thread Rocky, I hope it all works out...

TThis reference to God and Christianity in early American govenrment was not added very recently...It was definitely way before the Cold War [This message was edited by Jonny Lingo on February 26, 2004 at 12:41.]
