Steve!

And she looked better in Phenomenon, anyway. So whassup, Zixar? It sounds like you are less than ecstatic that today is your birthday. The nighttime sky cloudy or sumpin? You didn't get your birthday wish of an extra 512 MB of RAM? No Star Trek marathon today? Happy frickin' birthday, Zix, and I really mean that!

Umm, Oldiesman, perhaps you don't intend it this way, but your posts about docvic(praise be his name) sound as if you are staking your personal worth on his reputation. It sounds as if you need for him to be some kind of hero in order to have validation for your own life. Like I said, you probably don't intend it that way.

There are many ministers out there that get people born again and aren't themselves. I got born again in the Catholic church! I'll say it again, the only way you can know absolutely is if God tells you. So you heard him SIT. Me too. But that can be faked! And out of all the tongues that I've heard, his sounded as fake as the fakiest. As far as how he was able to teach like that - he got his style and substance from other teachers! A man can't sell you a toothbrush with one bristle without being sincere! Sincerity is no guarantee of the truth. WRT him teaching convincingly, that is irrelevant. There have been many many convincing teachers throughout time. WRT what's the point? It's been repeatedly made - CIF. Cash. Moola. Money. Mammon.

I often say that I would rather regret something that I did instead of regretting something that I didn't do.

I think that if you go you will be surprised at how little recovery time you will need afterwards, if any at all.

Oldiesman, you are definitely correct to say that it is unfair to say that docvic(praise be his name) was born again of the wrong seed. The only way someone can know this is by revelation from God, no matter WHAT the fruit evident in docvic's(praise be his name) life. BUT it is equally correct to say that we DON'T KNOW FOR SURE THAT HE WAS BORN AGAIN OF GOD'S SPIRIT. We heard him SIT. But to me it always sound really fake, and it was always the same 7 or 8 words - after so many years of SIT, one would think that he would be better at it. So in order to know that he absolutely HAD received salvation, you and I would have to receive revelation from God. We just don't know either way, without God telling us. I think, though, that a person can be called a FIGURATIVE child of the devil - meaning that although that person may have gotten born again, that person's actions benefit the adversary. And I think that it is an at least somewhat applicable appellation in this case.

Your tagline there, "Intimacy means IMing spouse", I can see that. Holy cr@p, 3 thousand Plus posts? Get a life! Ummm, just teasing. Exie, I won't EVEN comment about your almost 5400 posts!

Dot, your post about being in BG Leonard's ministry and not docvic's (praise be his name) is perfect. Perfect.

6R - have a reeb, I'm buying - or I will ifn ya come to da wedding!

A REAL weenie roast . . . http://www.local6.com/news/2616908/detail.html Truck Loaded With Hot Dogs Catches Fire POSTED: 1:21 p.m. EST November 6, 2003 DES MOINES, Iowa -- There was a giant weenie roast on Interstate 380, but there was no mustard for many a mile marker. A truck carrying 43,500 pounds of Oscar Mayer turkey hot dogs caught fire about 10 p.m. Tuesday, said Trooper Tom Estrada of the Iowa State Patrol. Instead of the aroma of roasting meat, troopers and firefighters had to endure black smoke and the acrid smell of burning rubber. "Some type of mechanical problem caused a wheel to overheat," Estrada said. "The driver pulled over and opened the hood of the refrigerator power unit. That exposed hot oil to the air and helped ignite the fire." The truck driver, Wayne A. Mathison, 60, of Cherry, Ill., was not injured. The northbound lanes of the interstate near the small town of Urbana, which is between Cedar Rapids and Waterloo, were closed for about three hours. Copyright 2003 by The Associated Press.

So P-M, splain what you mean, if you wouldn't mind, about it being an unnecessary battle.

Sounds like you have a virus! or some hijack program. What you need to do is go to www.antivirus.com and run their free scan.

They probably picked him cuz he fits the jacket . . .

Chinson and I visited the Alamo last February, and found out that Davy Crockett was a physically small man, probably stood about 5'4" or so.

Is this what you were trying for?

As long as he is (as he is) properly credited, what's the problen?

OakTom, you make a very good point about Roy2027 making a very good point. Why don't you tell us exactly what docvic(praise be his name) DID do, so it is not left to supposition?

Mike - YOU, sir, are a DISGRACE. ( * )

Depending on how old or new his puter is, it usually comes installed with the operating system.

Or even more simply, just have him save the file to his computer, then start up Windoze Media Player, and open that file from Windoze Media Player.

Rottsyvampi - He probably just needs to download or update RealPlayer.

WN - that's probably EXACTLY what happened!

"It's a Wonderful Life" *shudder!* gives me nightmares every time!

AdAware works GREAT! I don't know about Spybot, I've never tried it.

Why didn't the skeleton cross the road? He didn't have enough guts!
