  2. Leaf blowers cost money! You students were expendable. You can tell how meaningless the classes were based on how casually twi arranged for people to skip them. It was more important to pull the students- who paid tuition- and get them to do manual labor- for which they were unpaid. I just can't get over how shameless that was.
  3. Yes. The Corps was a financial gold-mine. The students paid money to be there, so just having them there, and spending so little on them, meant the program worked at a profit. Then they worked manual labor for free, so twi didn't have to pay laborers for their free work, which is quite profitable. Any slave-owner could tell you that paying your workers zero is very profitable for you the slave-owner. Then, when they finished, they were expected to pay you money regularly- tithes, "abundant sharings", and, if you could convince them, "plurality giving", -handing over all money not directly earmarked for an expense like food, rent or clothes. On top of that, they were trained as a SALES FORCE- the only professional training they had was NOT in counseling or anything like that, it was plagiarized Dale Carnegie SALES courses. So, they were told to run classes- which ran at a profit for twi- and get more people- who were expected to tithe/ ABS. At every level, twi was organized to run with the least possible expenditures, with locals carrying all expenses, and all activities designed to run at a net financial profit for twi. It's blatantly UNgodly, but profitable if you care about money and NOT about God.
  4. The Corps program ran at a profit, since more tuition was paid than expenses were incurred, per student. The Corps program was ESPECIALLY profitable because the students who paid their tuition were required to perform manual labor, for which they were paid $0 per hour salary. They not only worked for free, they paid to be there. So, the more workers, the more money twi made. No wonder there were corps later who had a lot of "make-work" like cleaning things that were already clean when they arrived.
  5. And more recently, when there were no 1st Corps around anymore, the Powers That Be announced that the old time hangers-on that weren't Corps were now the 1st Corps.
  6. You're probably right. Charlie and Bosley stayed with the show, and the angels rotated. In the movies, the angels stayed, and the Bosleys rotated. If there was going to be a third movie, the next Bosley was obviously going to be the motorcyclist kid.
  7. "Deuce Bigalow Male Gigolo"??????
  8. No guarantee that you finished knowing anything, either. When I first started attending locally, a corpse guy was sent to run the Branch for his interim year. He never fit in, and people just sorta nodded when he said stuff, then went off and did things the way we were supposed to. (He was more decorative than actually LEADING anything.) We were glad when his year was up and he went back to wherever. His replacement was better, but he could hardly have been worse. :)
  9. Is this "THE AVENGERS"? There was a "new Avengers". and the Steed-and-Peel show went though different agents, but Steed was the same through the show's run.

  11. BTW, now the original video isn't blocked, and the others are all deleted.
  12. I think that's a bit of an exaggeration, but I'll give it a shot. I did look when I saw Human's question. The quick answer I have, based on a quick look, is that the main program for Itunes is free. If he wants the tunes, he PROBABLY will have to pay. I didn't look that far, but I thought it was evident that they have to pay for their service somehow. So, the program is free, and the music files cost money- that would follow the pattern for buying music as opposed to just streaming it/listening to the radio.
  13. *wild swing* "The Big Lebowski"?????
  14. If that's the Magorium who had the Emporium, the actor's DUSTIN HOFFMAN.
  15. All the cops in the donut shop say.......Human is CORRECT. Your turn.
  16. Ok, here's a different song. "If you want to find all the cops They're hanging out in the donut shop. They sing and dance (oh-way-oh). They spin the clubs, cruise down the block."
  17. Colossians 2:4 And this I say, lest any man should beguile(paralogizomai) you with enticing words (pithanologia). ============================================ It's a warning against people whose words don't touch logic, but rather rely on pithy sayings, sloganeering, to answer, rather than addressing something.
  18. "The proof of the pudding is in the eating." "All the proofe of a pudding, is in the eating."- William Camden, 1605.
  19. I've heard of "Gitarzan" and Ray Stevens. This one, not at all. It's possible Raf has instead of me, but that's highly unlikely. Outside of Dr Demento, I doubt this has seen airplay for several decades. I doubt it's played on Dr Demento much, or that Raf would have heard it if it had.
  20. We saw James' name and social security# as they were being deleted from everything, leaving "J" for Agent J. The joke was that MiB monitors aliens on Earth, and their monitor showed all of those celebrities, so they're all space aliens. The sunglasses in the movies are Ray-Ban Predator 2. Will Smith used them in the "Men in Black" music video. The sequel had a scene with Agent J riding a big alien on the (middle) express track. The subway-goers looked when they passed, then went back to looking up the tunnel for their train. It felt authentic.
  21. The characters they have hashed to pieces due to continuity crashes are Power Girl, Donna Troy (Wonder Girl/Troia), and the Hawks (man and girl.) They haven't picked any one thing for any of them and stuck with it. The last one I heard of Power Girl was "she thought she was Atlantean, she was a refugee from another Earth that vanished in one of the Crises. Then again, some other characters may have fared worse. They decided to bring Jason Todd back (after being beaten 1/2 to death with a crowbar, then blown up, his body recovered, and having been examined by Batman and buried. They brought him back (WHY? "Because you could" is not a good reason. His death meant something!) and the eventual reason they found was stupid and contrived. "When someone kept changing reality, Jason woke up in his coffin."
