"New York, New York", sung by Frank Sinatra (among others), and CNN's go-to song when broadcasting TImes Square's midnight on New Year's Eve.

So it's Human's turn.

Ok, name ANY of the game-shows to take the round. Obscure game-show time again. A) This game-show was inspired by an early 1980s video game by Konami, whose name it shares. Damon Wayans Jr is one of the hosts. It started out on Peacock (NBC streaming) but has appeared elsewhere in syndication. Contestants attempt to cross any of several "screens" (play areas) without "drowning" and "losing a life." Pairs of contestants try each area, with the better of the 2 moving on to the final round, where the best score comes from the most "hostages" (my term) rescued and the best time- but with a timer and with only one "life". The winner of each episode wins a fanny-pack full of money, and returns to try to make it to the series finale, for even more money. No part closely resembles the arcade game, but one "level" does involve crossing a highway, and at least one "level" involves crossing some sort of river, above crocodiles. B) John Cena's one of the hosts of this show. It's another show where contestants risk "drowning" and getting knocked from places. It's NOT inspired by any video game or other source AFAIK. This show has already had several seasons, between ABC and TBS. It supposedly has the "world's largest obstacle course." Despite the name, there is no connection to surfing with this show. C) Don't fall under in this game-show or you're out, and your team has to manage without you! In this game, you have to traverse any of several "rooms" that are booby-trapped and make it to the end. If you go under, you're "dead" for reasons obvious to people who know this show's title. It's inspired by a children's game. The children's game can be invoked anywhere, but the game is properly played at someone's house, without shoes, and preferably by smaller children that don't weigh as much as adults. That's because they're going to be climbing all over the furniture, hopefully not breaking anything, but definitely not walking on the floor.

From the first link..... Dangers of the Word of Faith Movement Word of Faith preachers are common on television and have massive followings. They typically teach that God wants his people to be healthy, wealthy, and happy all the time and that speaking the right words, in faith, will compel God to deliver on his part of the covenant. Most believers in mainline Christian doctrine disagree. They say the Word of Faith movement is false and twists the Bible to primarily enrich the Word of Faith leaders themselves. Many of them live in mansions, wear expensive clothes, drive luxurious cars, and some even have private jets. These preachers rationalize that their lavish lifestyles are proof that Word of Faith is true. Word of Faith is not a Christian denomination or uniform doctrine. Beliefs vary from preacher to preacher, but they generally profess that children of God have a "right" to the good things in life, if they ask God and believe correctly. The following are three key Word of Faith errors. Error #1: God Is Obligated to Obey People's Words Words have power, according to Word of Faith beliefs. That's why it is often called "name it and claim it." Word of Faith preachers isolate verses such as Mark 11:24, often citing them out of context, to emphasize their beliefs: The Bible, in contrast, teaches that God's will determines the answer to our prayers: God, as a loving heavenly Father, gives us what is best for us, and only he is capable of determining that. Countless faithful Christians have prayed for healing from illness or disability yet remain unhealed. On the other hand, many Word of Faith preachers who claim healing is only a prayer away wear eyeglasses and go to the dentist and doctor. This error is dangerous because it leads followers to a false understanding of God's sovereign nature and a faith that is unstable. When our faith is not built on the solid foundation of God's truth it will easily crumble and fail. Error #2: God's Favor Results in Riches Financial abundance is a common thread among Word of Faith preachers, causing some to call this the "prosperity gospel" or "health and wealth gospel." Supporters claim that God is eager to shower worshipers with money, promotions, large homes, and new cars, citing such verses as Malachi 3:10: But the Bible abounds with passages that warn of pursuing money instead of God, such as 1 Timothy 6:9-11: Hebrews 13:5 cautions us not to always be wanting more and more: Wealth is not a sign of favor from God. Many drug dealers, corrupt businessmen, and pornographers are wealthy. Conversely, millions of hardworking, honest Christians are poor. This error is dangerous because it leads followers into a life of self-centered and selfish pursuits, disillusionment with God, and at worst, the sin of idolatry. Error #3: Humans Are Little Gods Human beings are created in the image of God and are "little gods," claim some Word of Faith leaders. They imply that people are capable of controlling a "faith force" and have the power to bring their desires into being. They cite John 10:34 as their proof text: This Word of Faith teaching is blatant idolatry. Jesus Christ was quoting Psalm 82, which referred to judges as "gods"; Jesus was stating that he was above judges as the Son of God. Christians believe there is one God only, in three Persons. Believers are indwelt by the Holy Spirit but are not little gods. God is a creator; humans are his creations. To attribute any type of divine power to humans is unbiblical. Perhaps the most dangerous aspect of the Word of Faith movement is its power to deceive and entice people away from biblical truth. Since the days of the Garden of Eden, Satan has been effectively twisting the truth as a weapon against God's people. The believer's best defense against this cunning enemy is to know the truth through diligent and consistent Bible study.

Mike: "This is my justification for offering to “explain” the Great Principle better than VPW explains it in the God-breathed collaterals. I am surprised no one called me on that." One might hope that, over the last 20 years, you might have gotten past your previous claim that the current Bibles were NOT "God-breathed" but that the pfal collaterals WERE "God-breathed." You've actually been trying to CONCEAL your positions on both, but sometimes they slip out any way. It's dishonest and deceptive to do this, but for you, it's business as usual. Between underhanded and unprincipled practices, and just plain nonsense like this, it should surprise no one that you have no credibility here.... or anywhere else that you reveal some of the truth about your doctrines and actions. Is it really worth it to deceive people, knowing that, as soon as they know the truth, your credibility will plummet? No, it is not. */*/* Mike: "Like the law of believing, the Great Principle is a Great Enigma that pops up in the class RATHER UNSUPPORTED. " So, even you admit that the so-called "law of believing" and the so-called "Great Principle" are claimed in pfal but aren't SUPPORTED. Claims were made, and we trusted vpw despite there being no Scriptural justification for his claims. We're free of that now. You are not, and don't expect us to volunteer to go back into the bondage and servitude to doctrines and practices of greedy people who see us only as commodities.

The Word of Faith movement has some VERY serious problems associated with it, and the "believing" doctrines.

A LOT of people sent in papers showing the debt policy was wrong, and had unassailable cases. twi had no intention of changing just because they were wrong. The prospect of losing large groups of people over this policy made them reconsider, since losing all those tithes was one of the few things that can get twi to change. "Searching for the truth" is not any of them, of course.

His dishonesty got bigger and bigger because he got cocky and was getting away with so much, he started thinking he was invincible.

Feels like it's New Year's Eve all over again...

That's him. Avram Belinski was the Rabbi in "the Frisco Kid", Larry Abbot went on a "Haunted Honeymoon", Letterman was on The Electric Company.

(Correct song and artist, but the title is "God Bless the USA.")

"As far as I'm concerned this is all a hot mess anyway - since there is no law of believing " Now, now, that's unfair to all the witchcraft and magic practitioners out there. They're entitled to try to alter reality with their thoughts. We've had readers and posters for whom that would apply.

I understand that dehumanization is a thing. SS soldiers gassing millions of Europeans first had to stop thinking of them as humans. That was easier when they were one thing, like Jews or gypsies, but less easy when they looked at all the other prisoners who were neither. So, the SS thought of specific people as less than human, so it was all right to mistreat them or kill them- in fact, they didn't see that as "mistreatment" or "murder". It's a little like how one can downgrade plagiarism and label it a virtue, or announce everyone who disagrees with you is wrong and inferior. For the sociopath/psychopath, it is as if all of humanity- except only themselves- are dehumanized. They don't see people as people, they see people as resources, things. EVERYBODY. That's as far as I can get. I know they do it, but I can't empathize with it.

Next song. "Get your motor runnin'"

Hercules, no kidding? *checks* No, no kidding. This is interesting. When he was knighted, he wasn't knighted Sir Reginald Dwight, he was knighted Sir Elton H John.

That's close enough to count. The President in this story is Abraham Lincoln. The general is Ulysses S. Grant. Grant wasn't a complete teetotaler, but he drank little most of the time. His reputation as a boozer was partly because he wasn't that big, so it was easier for him to get drunk. (Try getting William Howard Taft drunk- that would take a lot of booze.) Because it was possible, he usually watched his drinking. So, his reputation as a boozer was largely exaggeration. Your turn!

Anyone who cares enough can go among a lot of Christian groups, and find stories among many of them, stories of deliverance, of blessings, of miracles, of healings. What does that tell us about blessings and the Christian groups? Someone desperate to find some label, some group, some brand, might say that ALL of those are endorsed by God. I think most would conclude that the blessings of God in the lives of people are completely unrelated to whatever groups they are in, or are NOT in. twi, and vpw and lcm especially, used to be very vocal with its adherents about how the blessings of God would abandon them if they left twi, and He would not protect them, and so on. They would be "a greasespot by midnight." Well, midnight has come and gone, and we're still moving on with our lives, generally better-off than when twi was a part of our lives.

As stated in pfal, the so-called "Law of believing", when practiced, is a means by which a person, using only the force of their will, causes things to happen, in accord with what that person wills to happen. "Magick is the science and art of causing change to occur in conformity with the Will."- Aleister Crowley. So, does that mean the "Law of Believing" as taught in pfal is witchcraft and magic? Yes. It could have come straight out of the writings of Aleister Crowley.

The "literal translations according to usage" were frequently plagiarized as well. "vpw's" "literal translation according to usage" of Philippians 4:13 "I am ready for anything and equal to anything through him who infuses inner strength into me." (It was even in an Acts 29 song which was a title cut, and was part of the chorus.) Here's the Amplified Bible's version of Philippians 4:13. " I can do all things [which He has called me to do] through Him who strengthens and empowers me [to fulfill His purpose—I am self-sufficient in Christ’s sufficiency; I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him who infuses me with inner strength and confident peace.] " For those wondering, the Amplified Bible's New Testament was completed in 1958, and the bound full Bible was in stores as of 1965, published by ZONDERVAN, the same company that sells a bunch of reference books in the twi bookstore. So, yes, vpw was aware of the thing. Naturally, I'm expecting someone to claim either that vpw got that by revelation and it was an astonishing coincidence they read the same, or that God told vpw to plagiarize that version and verse and make sure to leave out any reference to the Amplified Bible.

Maybe the line was "Hold me closer, Tiny Dancer." Reginald Dwight was still Reginald Dwight, but also known as Elton John.

Next song. "From the lakes of Minnesota, to the hills of Tennessee, Across the plains of Texas, from sea to shining sea."

Wrong president, your thinking is incorrect.
