Ever heard of JAMES CHARLES RYAN? You have if you've heard of Bishop K.C. PILLAI. They're the same person. "Joseph K.C. Pillai" "was his Indian name." https://www.encyclopedia.com/religion/encyclopedias-almanacs-transcripts-and-maps/anglican-churches-0 "' 'The Anglican Church in America' was founded in 1991 following merger talks between the American Episcopal Church and the Anglican Catholic Church (ACC)." ".The American Episcopal Church was founded in 1968 by a group of former clergy and members of the Episcopal Church and the Anglican Orthodox Church. They sought a more loosely organized structure than that offered by the Anglican Orthodox Church and formed the new jurisdiction with a congregational polity. The church turned to James Charles Ryan, better known by his Indian name, Joseph K. C. Pillai, of the Indian Orthodox Church, for episcopal orders. Pillai then became the first primate of the new church and merged the Indian Orthodox Church into it. In December 1968, Pillai consecrated James George as Bishop of Birmingham. Bishop George succeeded Pillai as primate following the latter's death in 1970." https://san-luigi.org/churches/catholicate-of-the-west/mission/syro-chaldean-metropolitical-see-of-india-ceylon-mylapore-socotra-and-messina-decree/ "between August 1945 and 11 October 1947 Mar James (James Charles Ryan also known as Joseph Chengalvaroyan Pillai) served as Exarch for the Indies in the Catholicate of the West." I'm sure there's a story there. Why did he need so many names? https://www.greasespotcafe.com/ipb/topic/23131-ash-heap-of-twi-story/#comment-543998 "A quick summation......in the summer of 1953, wierwille's brother harry was in Tennessee. He stopped to visit a Christian children's camp and an Anglican bishop from India, was the guest speaker. This speaker was Bishop K.C. Pillai. Harry invited him to meet with vic in Van Wert, OH. Pillai's church and connections back in India set Dr. I.S. Williams (and family) to host the wierwilles during their stay in Bombay. Another thread, years ago gives more details." Click Here - Narcisstic Self-Promotion ================== Although Pillai claimed to be an expert on the Bible lands' customs and cultures, he was from INDIA, and did NOT grow up in the Bible lands. He was familiar with MODERN practices in a completely different sub-continent, and claimed they were the same thing.

Um, waysider? 1) That link is misspelled. You meant to point it to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K._C._Sreedharan_Pillai but you misspelled "en.wiklpedia" so it's a dead link. 2) That goes to someone else who shared his name. THAT guy had a legitimate math degree. On his page is a link to the other guy. "For the Indian Orthodox Bishop and Biblical research author, see K. C. Pillai." 3) THAT link doesn't get into his past at all.

Well, you DID get it.

"When I get to the bottom I go back to the top of the slide Where I stop and I turn and I go for a ride Till I get to the bottom and I see you again." That's all one sentence!

No.

"When I get to the bottom I go back to the top"

That's it, complete with the correct spelling. With the Star Wars character, his first name is an anagram of "liberte". His home planet is "Shinbone", the town where this movie takes place. (He was introduced solely as "Valance" and I thought it was a reference to electron shells.) According to Robert Wuhl, the Liberty Valance effect is when fiction becomes part of accepted history. He discussed it when he discussed why everyone knows Paul Revere's ride, but Israel Bissell rode a much longer distance the same night and almost nobody remembers him.

-"You're not going to use the story, Mr. Scott?" "No, sir. This is the West, sir. When the legend becomes fact, print the legend." -There's disagreement as to why this movie was filmed in black-and-white. This classic movie's been discussed by a number of people, and this line is well-known on its own. -In the Star Wars comic books, a minor character's name was inspired by one of the main characters of this movie. You've probably never heard of the character, but fans seemed to like him, so he appeared in flashbacks a little more (he died in his first appearance.) He was from a planet named "Shinbone." His first name was "Beilert." (It's almost an anagram of the first name of the character who inspired him. I can't post the name because it's in the movie title.) -Allegedly, when Alfred Hitchcock was asked who the top 3 US directors were, he said the name of the director of this movie- 3 times in a row ("John Ford, John Ford, and John Ford.") -This movie did and didn't have a theme song. When Gene Pitney was getting ready to record the song by Burt Bacharach and Hal David, he learned that the movie was already in theaters. It was a hit song. It also could not have been played in its entirety at the beginning of the movie, since it gave away the ending. -Most people wouldn't name this movie if asked to name a John Wayne movie. However, The Duke was in this movie. _Excerpts from reviews: "Long before Watergate-era cynicism about the media set in, we were told with a wink by perhaps the West's principal mythologist to be skeptical about everything we had been told." "With all the Ford requirements and the Ford mystique, including John Wayne and James Stewart off- setting each other's archetypal physiques, presences, worlds and implications; and Edmond O'Brien, at his uproariest." "Hence, contrary to expectations of realist films, this western stands out for how comprehensive a town and a world it manages to build around its central event." "There's much to say about it; the simplest is that it's both the most romantic of Westerns and the greatest American political movie." -According to "data", this movie made the top 50 best movies of all time. I must say, choosing to film a movie in black-and-white in 1962 is risky, but the director made it work for him.

"Johnny B Goode?"

Not that he's getting much successful results, but even dismal returns are better than stony silence and/or laughter, so he sticks to the twi/ex-twi crowds.

So, he advertised with them there just like he advertises with us here- since he hasn't been kicked out of either. His sole audience HAS TO consist of twi and ex-twi because nobody else will buy into "vpw was akin to Superman, had a special connection to God, and God Almighty told him to plagiarize a bunch of other Christian writers, for which we should be thankful. The results have replaced the Bible."

So, something related to the Founding Fathers.... No "Lin-Manuel Miranda", so not "Hamilton." Some of those names work for Ben Franklin, but others do not. So, maybe this is "THOMAS JEFFERSON." Let's go young instead of old.

This is some list. Hans Conreid isn't known for almost anything, unless you're a Hans Conreid fan. Then you know he played Percy Livermore, Dan Jenkins (both "I Love Lucy" roles), Dr Terwilliger in that "Dr T and" something movie, and he did some voice work for animation like the Rankin-Bass "The Hobbit." Nick Nolte I remember for "48 Hours", Jeffrey Jones is most famous for Principal Rooney in "Ferris Buehler's Day Off", and "Daveed Diggs" sounds African-American from that name. Kevin Kline I remember best as Artemus Gordon in the remake of "Wild Wild West." (I almost confuse him for Kenneth Branagh, partly because they both were in that movie.) Charleton Heston is known for playing classic roles. It's possible all of these men, when starting out, went onstage or on TV or something and shared at least one classic role, like Shakespeare or the Bible or something. Taking all of that into account, my first guess will be "Moses", with Charleton Heston as the most famous actor in the role.

Maybe it was Hank Pym, um, "MICHAEL DOUGLAS????"

No.

I only know of a few Ray Stevens songs. Any chance this preceded a TV news report of "The Streak"???

Well, I'm stuck.

Mike, you didn't "make" any "points." You made a few CLAIMS. Anyone can make any CLAIM. It doesn't become a point until it's actually SUPPORTED BY SOMETHING. Especially ridiculous-sounding complaints should be supported by something substantial, otherwise they just sound like nonsense- and probably are. I've supported silly claims in the Harry Potter fandom better than you support your claims here- and I was doing so in jest. If you honestly think that "You think that a Christian has to be someone real special or something if they want to do significant work with and for God" applies to ANYONE here- let alone "many others here" as you said, you're really not experiencing the same posts and threads everyone else is- which is old news, really. You keep objecting to things that nobody ever posted. "Why should I waste my time on detailed, exhaustive debate with people who are unthankful for being taught that God is good?" You're fond of claiming you can get into discussions and address points, but have always had extensive excuses as to why you never delivered. BTW, it's hard to get people to agree that you have no problem with discussion and debate when they know that you've freely acknowledged that you choose to "dodge, distract, but never admit an error is an error" - and only doubled-down on that and claimed it's what you're supposed to do. As for people being "unthankful for being taught that God is good", there's probably a messageboard where people object to that, but this was never that board. "AND for showing everyone reading with a brain that you have NO IDEA how to address the points I made. " Mike, you of all posters really are ill-equipped to claim to speak for "everyone reading with a brain." pfal said right in pfal that it consists of KEYS, and it does NOT contain "Genesis to Revelation," but you claimed that it's Scripture now, and has REPLACED Genesis to Revelation rather than being keys to understanding them. Where pfal outlined HOW to "get back to the original so we can say 'thus saith the LORD'", you've claimed that doing so is impossible- while claiming that pfal was inerrant. So, trying to get converts from people who know your reading comprehension is seriously compromised by your doctrine is foredoomed to failure. Naturally, that doesn't matter much, because periodically you go away, announce in your own mind that you successfully refuted everything we had to say and that we were unable to refute you, and that your system is still unassailable. That may give you comfort (it wouldn't give me comfort), but it doesn't change how completely you've been refuted year after year, only to return and claim that never happened. Since the old threads are still here, "everyone reading with a brain" can go read through them themselves and see what happened.

*thinks* This thing is off "Tommy." By any chance, is this "TOMMY" from the album of the same name?

I was trying much too hard to avoid posting the word "who" in that reply not to be doing it deliberately.

"Wop bop a loo bop a lop bom bom!"
