  1. I've said it before and I'll say it again: "I'm glad I got in, and I'm glad I got out." I'm not aware of anyone whose story had NOTHING but negatives, but some people certainly feel that way after suffering quite a bit in twi. I think vpw had ulterior motives when he DID speak the truth, but it was spoken nevertheless. He benefited people almost accidentally- and partly to bait the hook with some food. I won't say there was NO benefits in the process.
  2. Next one. "It is the oldest story in the book- he desires the one thing he cannot have."
  3. When it comes to stories of "and a twi leader abused his office and sexually assaulted the flock", it all comes back to twi. He educated lcm and some other leaders that this was ok with God or that God WANTS this sort of thing, and they went along, foolishly equating every fool thing out of vpw's mouth with Divine Revelation (mainly because that's what he taught them to think.) vpw started it, set up the ring of silence, and set up the whole system to use to get away with it.
  4. http://minet.org/www.trancenet.net/noway/experiences/jennifer.shtml After the 1988-1989 exodus, those of us who left had little idea just how bad it would get in the following years. Many of us had some bad stories (many more than others), but the real horror stories often came for insiders starting in 1990.
  5. All right, then let's try... wait, that was correct? Ok, then.
  6. To make sure I don't bypass the answer, how about "BUMBLEBEE"?
  7. Howard the Duck Jeffrey Jones Sleepy Hollow
  8. I haven't seen any of the movies, but let's try the first movie called "TRANSFORMERS."
  9. I don't know if it's exclusively American, but it's not just a twi-thing. I once had a copy of "Pocket Quips" (copyright 1984) https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11253742-pocket-quips-777-quotables and it said the following on applause during a sermon (approximately if not verbatim): -Applause at the beginning of a sermon is faith. -Applause during the middle of a sermon is hope. -Applause at the end of a sermon is love.
  10. That's him. The name I added was "Frank Barone" , from the TV show "Everybody Loves Raymond." The only name I skipped on purpose was "Frankenstein's Monster", Moe Shrevnitz was the taxi driver in "the Shadow", and "Wizard" was a taxi driver in "Taxi Driver." Edsel was in "Speed Zone" (Cannonball Run 3.) Dr Sebastian Melmouth was from "In God We Tru$t" and so on.

  13. No. I think Martin's characters tend to have more memorable names. In the case of this round, I liked Moe Shrevnitz, and had no recollection the character's name was ever stated in the movie where it appeared.
  14. I remember someone once saying they became a big fan of "General Hospital" after being a big fan of a previous soap opera, so it can't be "General Hospital." Is this "Days of Our Lives"?

    I'm a bit concerned for central Texas because I know people who live there. People everywhere panic and raid the supermarkets at the report of bad weather. That concerns me less nowadays because A) we're comfortable cooking or just microwaving if we need to B) I have some supermarkets and places to buy food within 3 blocks C) My neighbors don't worry about hurricanes because they haven't come this way for quite some time, if ever So, we get heavy storms that leave within 12-24 hours depending on the severity, in the worse-case. As for the rest of you, stay careful out there.

  17. That's it. After Tommy's traumatic incident where he went "deaf, dumb and blind". he gained fame as a pinball wizard, and that led to his becoming a religious leader.
  18. Got it in one. Last time I did a round on Pokemon, this took about a week. I suspect you might be getting better at this.
  19. Ok, next movie. This movie's cast included Ann-Margret, Oliver Reed, and Jack Nicholson. The title character, among other things, becomes a religious leader sometime after becoming both crippled and a public figure.

  21. True. Raf can rejoin us when life permits. Next one. This animated series has been wildly successful, and has been going for something like 20 years- and, AFAIK, is still ongoing. Like a number of successful cartoons down the years, it began as a tie-in to a line of toys. This one even made the jump to theatrical releases!
  22. Yeah, Colonel Mustard and Wadsworth the Butler. You're thinking the movie would have gotten a better rating with some modifications to Yvette's outfit? Well, you're probably right.
