Either of us could be mistaken, but I'm going to stick with I never saw it. Presumed innocent, we saw together. Still recall your amusement at Mr. Delay-Guardia

Ok seriously and with as much respect as I can muster with the mod hat on: What the HELL are you people babbling about? Take a break. All of you. 24 hours. If you can't, it will be done for you. Take a damn break.

This sounds like Game of Thrones.

Funny thing is, obviously a courtroom drama, but definitely not one I've seen. Clearly it's about a first-degree murder, or we would not be talking about the death penalty. My first guess is a TV show, but I don't know if anyone made a movie with the same name. So guessing movies about murder trials I have not seen: Primal Fear ?

Ooh. "Crowd" is in quotes! A clue! Dum-dum-dum-dummmmm

Somehow I'm feeling that 1 1/2 actors Is the biggest hint

I stannd corrected.

I've always readily admitted that the Actual Errors list is of no consequence to anyone who wants to use PFAL for its stated purpose. The "thoroughly/throughly" error is actually BETTER as an error than it would have been had he gotten it right [although I suppose he could have retained the value of "read carefully" without the invented distinction between the two words]. "All with/without distinction" is obviously an example of trying to make a concept more clear, and it kind of worked. So what. But impose an impossible standard, one VPW knew full well could not be met by any work of man [including the Bible, by his own admission he stopped believing it was holy], and suddenly every tiny error becomes monumental... not because of the error, but because of the significance placed on the document's perfection.

Sometimes I really miss giving a #### about all this. By the way, I appreciated the credit for the observations I contributed to previous discussions on the Bastard Jesus drama.

It was Mom. Anna Farris' character never reconciled with her daughter. Allison Janey never reconciled with her mother. Both Janey and Farris received oral, on screen. Janey's partner died in the act. One scene had Janey imagining being president, putting her on the set of her previous series The West Wing. Her scene called out the older shows habit of increasing the appearance of urgency by having a conversation take place while bustling down a hallway. The show became less and less about Farris' household and more and more about their Alcoholics Anonymous group.

Take it away, George

I can see Dot reciting the lines and Cher singing them, but nothing on the title

Are we back to the make-believe "old piece of literature" that manufactured a Jewish tradition out of nowhere...? That was a fun one.

Dodge, distract, deny....

It was on a traditional broadcast network. In one episode, the original lead actress was asked to name her friends. She named the six lead characters of Friends. The actress actually did guest star on several episodes of the final season of Friends, as a different character.

Pascal would be proud, I'd wager. Actually, Yahweh doesn't seem to take too kindly to people who presume to speak for his breath, so I do think the part of Mike having nothing to worry about might be a tad inconsistent. So far I'm the only one positing a thesis that actually fits the evidence. Raf

If there was a secret message in PFAL that was hidden in plain sight, it was this: Wierwille did not believe the Bible was holy or a cohesive unit. Everything he did after that was a con for his personal profit. Fits ALL the evidence. "The PFAL writings are God,-breathed" does not fit the evidence. Raf.

Ooh if I get this one... Wagon Train

Please take it, WW

I think the relationship between critical thinking and intelligence is symbiotic. Each feeds into the other. So yes and no, but more yes than no. In my opinion

We received a report about this thread asking that it be moved to "atheism and questioning belief." I disagreed. I came here expecting to defend the thread as a question about why people shouldn't put off conversion until the last possible moment, living lives of sin for as long as possible and finally converting in the end and marching through the pearly gates (or waking up at the gathering or whatever it is you believe). Then I read this, and it became clearer that the report was correct. Feel free to explore the doctrinal issue that was raised, but I'm moving the thread to where it belongs: Questioning Faith.

Honestly, I think a good 60 percent of the GSC rules were to stop the kind of behavior I engaged in regularly back when I was feuding with... who was I feuding with? I forget his name. In any event, James was around back then and hasn't been around since, so he probably thought that was still considered acceptable conduct.

Ok, so it appears some dialogue got out of hand and you guys resolved it among yourselves. To reiterate the rules: No namecalling (this includes altering the person's handle to mock him). No politics (and absolutely zero tolerance for COVID misinformation, no warnings). Please restrict your criticism to the arguments being made, not to the people making them. Calling people fools for their beliefs is unacceptable. Demanding proof for assertions is perfectly acceptable.
