Was Michael Harmon one of them?

Bull Durham Bridget Jones's Diary (that may have already been mentioned - but it's a fav - the sequel wasn't that great, tho) Four Weddings and a Funeral Heathers (my 80's roots are showing...)

Okay.... it's my first time... so here it goes.... (it's probably going to be simple, for y'all)

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (and if I got it, it was simple. I've been lurking on this thread for ages.... LOL!)

another little snippet.... They knew she couldn't last. That mighty German battleship is just a memory.

Sorta - he's got the salt and pepper thing going on with his hair and has a big chin, sorta like Leno.... Personally, I think the salt and pepper thing is kind of sexy - I like mature men (I should say, mature LOOKING men - they never act their age!)

I can't imagine opening my front door, waiting for my Schwan's delivery, and see.... HIM.... YIKES! I'm canceling my order PRONTO!

I didn't appreciate country music much until I was a WOW in Nashville. Even then, it wasn't really my thing, but you heard it everywhere you went. Rather than elevator music, you heard Garth Brooks, Brooks & Dunn, and Sawyer Brown in the malls and supermarkets (Piggly Wiggly - good lord)... So, it sort of grew on me. Some country is what's now called "break through" - as in, it's appealing to the pop and rock crowds - that's the sorta thing I like. I did grow up listening to country because of my parents... My mother is the only person I know who can't name ONE Beatles' song. Sad. But man, I can tell you every old Waylan, Willie, and Reba song there ever was... Tom - the song isn't really country... more folk, really... and you're close...

In may of nineteen forty-one the war had just begun The germans had the biggest ships That had the biggest guns

"Much Too Young To Feel This Damn Old" Garth Brooks (A perfect country song - truck drivin', honkey tonkin', lovin' and leavin', and it even mentions Denver - dang - they just don't make songs this *country* anymore...)

They were in TN, then moved to MD. I've been in touch with them since then, but have lost their email addy - HELP! Thanks! -Krista

But I can't help but wonder why some feel the need to continue to hound those who hold on to some or all of PFAL. Why the driving need to try to "force them" to reject all of it. It seems to work for them - there was a time when it worked for us, at least to some degree. Thoughts anyone? I don't really see that around here - sorry. Yeah, there's some diehards in the Doctorine Forum who go at it from time to time, but as I see it they're on the right playing field for the subject and don't seem to get too out-of-bounds about it. Sometimes someone will get their knickers in a knot but overall it's nothing major... they seem to get over it. Many times I've said that I'm glad I took PFAL - it helped me in many ways and I still believe much of what I was taught in that class. No one has ever taken me to task about it - ever. I'm no Mike about it - but I've corresponded with him about it and we've had great exchanges - I've found him to be polite, honest, and sincere about his passion/motives/agenda - whatever you wish to call it. As I see it, and I think probably 95% of the other posters here feel, it's whatever floats your boat. If it works for you, then great. If you disagree how or why it works, then your opinion is welcome, but just remember that ol' line about opinions and what they're like.... (_*_)

Ron - Your post makes me think of the hunting and eating "policies" of a certain Motorcity Mad Man - Ted Nugent only eats meat that he's killed himself and is into exotic game meats, as well. I think it's the more honest way of eating - for those who can do it. I have no trouble with cooking game meat, but don't think I could kill unless I absolutely had to. For those who can hunt and enjoy it, I think it's the healthiest way to provide food for their family and also keeps certain animal populations at healthy levels. In Maine there's a moose hunting lottery every year. You have to buy a ticket to enter and then only a certain number of licenses are issued by lottery - I think it's like 300 or 500 - something like that. However, there's always a certain group who are opposed to moose hunting at all - yet there are stories of gastly accidents with moose and vehicles (hitting a moose is about the deadliest thing that can happen to you in a car or SUV!) and moose getting into residential areas, etc. They don't see hunting as population control, but as cruel killing - any real hunter knows that it's best for the game and the meat to make a clean kill. And those Bullwinkle Burgers are mighty tastee! Ayah!

No, I didn't see Old School... I think it's supposed to be on Bravo on Friday, anyhow... or was that School of Rock? :blink: Dang, those kids kicked my butt today...

Autumn here, too... but as a red-head it gets old... So, sometimes I mix it up - I wear pastels, and my favorite rebellious color is black (supposed to be a no-no) but I always get compliments. I'm a sucker for a good compliment :)

Uh.... no..... Why? (I feel like I'm not getting a joke here....) <_<

I watched a bunch of guys at a Best Buy play this one day - it looked like so much fun! Unfortunately, video games are banned in our house - hubby calls them "mental masterbation"... Can I come over to play?

Remember earlier in this thread when we were talking about the theremin? Check this out: http://cgi.ebay.com/THEREMIN-Electronic-IN...1QQcmdZViewItem (There's sound in this link, above, so have your earbuds in or whatever...) It's too cool - and sorta creepy! Wasn't someone here building a theremin? Todd? =========================== Socks - interesting point about the stats - it's a good thread - one of my favs in a while - it's interesting to see what people are into and what makes them tick... =========================== Hubby got asked to accompany the school chorus tomorrow night playing "Dust in the Wind". After trying out his acoustics with the song, I finally talked him into using his 12-string, dropping an acoustic pickup in the sound hole, and plugging it into his Fender Prosonic amp - it sounds like a million bucks! That amp is really a great acoustic amp and has a neat vintage-like vibe. I wish I could get a recording of it for y'all - it does the song justice...

Do you think TWI promoted a realistic relationship with God? Other than being taught that Jesus Christ is not God, and that we pray to God, not Jesus Christ, as the LDS Church taught when I was growing up, I don't believe that TWI promoted a realistic or even healthy relationship with God. We were taught that our connection to God was in the form of holy spirit. We could operate the manifestations of holy spirit, we could pray to God but we seldom, if ever, worshipped God. There was little or no teaching about how we really were to have a relationship to God. He was made parallel with His Word, and then parallels were drawn to the ministry as having the only rightly divided Word - the Promised Land. The ministry appointed itself to that position - like many other self-serving, close-minded ministries, cults, etc., have in the past - sort of a "I'm-Daddy's-Favorite" view. There was little talk about the expansiveness of God, the love of God, or His Grace. Worship was only in the form of the manifestations. TWI gave a shout out to Him every now and then, but the real emphasis was on the greatness of the Teacher - not the Father. No. TWI fell short in that area, to say the least.

Maybe if he *smoked* the grass, he'd get his mind right.... Anywho... Best of luck to you, too, Jung & Co. Your posts were interesting and it was sort of enlightening to think of how the mighty might have fallen... sort of.

Man, I'm totally in the wrong profession.... A quote from her web site: “Professional domination sessions are about good people having great fun.” Although she says her services don't include sexual encounters, etc., I find it hard to believe that a man would blow $11K of money that wasn't his own on anything that didn't involve sex, a car, or gambling. :blink: LICK MY BOOT!

Is it me, or does Paris sound like she's from Munchkin Land when she speaks?

Cool beans! I really like how the discussion flows and how the posters talk about a current thread. I think the "experiment" works and I look forward to future episodes like this - well done! It was great hearing Shellon, Linda Z, and Abigail - and who's dog was that? And of course, it was great hearing Paw - excellent, meaty, conversations! Thank you!

Sorry, but I fail to see HOW this could be associated with TWI? The link you provide leads to a board much like this one, but about JW-associated subjects. Also, the story you provide certainly seems to be more about very sick man, who is locked up, thankfully, and a police department who failed to respond to a 9-1-1 call. I don't see how this could be a reflection on JW's per se. It could be anyone, anywhere, who snapped... obviously, I wish it would never happen to anyone, anywhere, as I'm sure you do.

For me, it was more the little things that freaked me out when I left TWI... like, the phone ringing. Yeah, go ahead and laugh... but who (who wasn't TWI2) didn't have that little rush and that "now what?!" feeling everytime the phone rang? Seriously. I always figured that God was too busy to worry about letting a hurricane, blizzard, or whatever bother little ol' me. I never really took much ownership of those things. But the man... the phone... it took about a year to get past that one!
