Is this "Kings Men" or something like that?

In fairness, I know the "Shame" Batman villain far better than I know "Shane" who inspired him. "Que lastima" is Spanish for "What a shame!"

Sorry, forgot to update the thread. The shows are: Below Deck, Below Deck Mediterranean, Below Deck Sailing Yacht, and Below Deck-Down Under.

Que lastima!

At the very beginning of the Orange Book- and, thus, the pfal foundational class- vpw violated his own rule rather blatantly to BEGIN the thing. When he spoke about "the abundant life", he made it clear that he meant a life with significant FINANCIAL abundance. He complained that the Christians around him didn't manifest an abundant life, let alone a more abundant life, but many unbelievers did. As if God Almighty promised us all financial riches. That's something that could be seen with the 5 senses. (As has been pointed out before, "life more abundant" is not a promise of financial abundance.)

vpw didn't spend that much time with his dogs. I don't know if he abused them personally DURING that time. His standing instructions for their care- if based on "Hunt Close" as he claimed- WAS abusive. Whether or not that counts as him abusing the dogs is a matter for philosophers and lawyers to debate, I think. BTW, "The Thirteenth Tribe" and "Myth of the Six Million" have BOTH been discredited by reliable sources. In fact, I think the only people who take EITHER book seriously are either vpw fan(atic)s or white supremacists. We've discussed both books before.

Yes. I was typing faster than I thought.

As a matter of curiosity, I'd like to point out vpw was not a good farmer. All accounts agree that he ran off as a kid and skipped out on his farm chores for hours. Decades later, his brother Harry claimed that vpw was off "preaching to the trees" and that's why he'd run off. However, neither Harry nor anyone else actually SAW vpw doing that. That's because vpw hadn't shown much interest in preaching as a kid- he was interested in music and business before switching to preaching. Furthermore, the anecdote of "preaching to the trees" was plagiarized from Billy Graham, who preached to the trees and gave altar calls to the trees to practice overcoming stage fright. His own farmer was skeptical of vpw's suitability to be a preacher. By vpw's own admission, he said that he thought that vpw wouldn't be a good preacher because he wasn't even an adequate farmer. (That was recounded in TW-LiL and discussed in the thread "The Way-Living in Wonderland.")

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/simony "the buying or selling of a church office or ecclesiastical preferment" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simony "Simony is the act of selling church offices and roles or sacred things." Although people point out vpw's degree mill degree was largely the result of payment in full and not the result of a peer-reviewed curriculum, I wasn't thinking of vpw as the one who bought a church office- although it appears he did. I was thinking of how his son, dw, wanted to leave twi and have nothing to do with it and work in education- until vpw bought a school and contrived to have dw run the thing and contrived to keep him in the twi hierarchy and cadre. Based on comments dw said in vpw's last few years, and the few years after vpw's death, it sounds to me like dw deeply regretted letting vpw talk him into staying, and being entangled with twi so deeply. So, a simonist based on both the buying AND the selling of church office.

A) From all accounts, vpw was never involved in raising his kids, and vpw was never involved in raising his dogs. B) On the subjects of raising dogs and raising kids, vpw recommended the same book as a guide for BOTH- "Hunt Close"- a book written for training dogs. (As if he knew enough about raising EITHER well, enough to recommend something healthy, and was not "to child-raising what Jeffrey Dahmer was to fine dining." ) That book reportedly says that to raise a dog, one is to praise good behavior and punish severely all bad behavior. Modern dog-raising techniques CONDEMN this practice, because it's shown to improve the dog's behavior ONLY WHEN THE HANDLER IS AROUND, and not a general improvement. Other than vpw- and anyone listening to him- ever recommends this book or this sort of thing for raising children- as if vpw knows anything about raising children by experience. This is the same man who abandoned his 2nd child for more than a year, as an infant, while his dad, his mom, and his older brother (the 1st child) traveled all over India on vpw's famous India tour, leaving him with family. So, in public, were things seen as having gone well with vpw and either? Sometimes- but that was appearances, and he wasn't really responsible for any successes there because he never put in the work with either. Anybody who's raised either- or both- can tell you that doing EITHER right takes WORK, time and effort, things which vpw was never fond of expending.

From time to time, someone eager to elevate vpw as an excellent preacher, an exceptional preacher, and a singularly significant preacher in the eyes of God Almighty throws a fit at the rest of us. They then object to a claim that none of us ever made. In this case, it was that we had an "infallible doctrine" and that doctrine was that vpw was only a con artist and nothing else. None of us ever said that. From time to time, I take one of those claims and make a poll- does anyone here claim that? The claim is that the majority of us, or all of us, make such a claim, but I tend to wonder if ANY of us made such a claim. So, I ask. What do you people say?

Was vpw a con artist AND ONLY a con artist?

Mrs Wolf makes quickbreads when it suits her- oatbread, cornbread, etc. She also made pizzas from scratch during the covid crisis, when all the local pizzerias were closed. Her firat one pretty much was on matzah bread, but later ones resembled conventional pizzas, and none of her breads use yeasts nor wait for anything to rise (thus the term "quick" bread.)

I'm shocked I have to point this out. Ah, the movies/books of the series "The Omen" are not Canon, nor Scripture. The Bible has nothing to do with their FICTIONAL accounts. It is popular for people to speak of "the antichrist"- as if there will be a single person to whom that applies, who will appear in the future, and be the supreme earthly opponent to God Almighty. In the movie/book series, Jesus had to come back as a baby once again. In Acts 1, we're told very clearly he's not going to return like that, he's going to return the same way he left- translocating as an adult, between Earth and Heaven (or, in the future, from Heaven to Earth. Acts 1:9-11 And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight. 10 And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; 11 Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven. What does the Bible say on the subject of Anti-Christ? It's all written in I John 2, so it's not hard to search for it. That's the only place in the Bible where that word(s) is used. It's used exactly TWICE. I John 2: 15-23 (KJV) Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever. 18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time. 19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us. 20 But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things. 21 I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth. 22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. 23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: According to I John 2, "antichrist" isn't a singular person to lead all sinners, "anti-christ" is anyone who is anti- Jesus Christ. Those who deny that Jesus was/is The Christ are "anti-christ" and deny both father and son. Don't take Hollywood's word on who is "anti-Christ."

That's it. A lot of people were killed in that movie- unless it was all in his mind, in which case, nobody died.

Possibly.... I haven't seen the remake, but I'd say, in the original, he either did or did not, depending.

No.

Yes. The first set of roles I posted was him on MASH playing different people. I find it interesting that he played Aku in "Samurai Jack."

YES! The previous song was The Police's "Murder By Numbers."

This movie was not a war-flick. However, it still ended up with a body count of 77 people (plus 1 rodent and one "robot"/A.I.)....... or, possibly, there were zero casualties, including no rodents and no "robot"/A.I. This movie-and its remake- were given the same name in English. The Spanish version of both was called "The Avenger of the Future."
