It's a classic rock song, from a well-known classic rock band, and it still get airplay to this day.

Ok, I shall explain. This will take a minute. vpw had this whole "grooming the group for sex" thing. He did pajama nights with the in-house people, and did talks where he explained about sex (as if he was some expert.) BTW, as per the CFS class, once a guy's activities have resulted in him being unable to get the "little soldier" going again, he said "the only thing he can do then is sleep." I'm sure the woman is pleased as heck to hear that the guy will just go to sleep if he can't get the little guy marching again, and not even TRY anything else to make her happy. (It's all about HIM, so if HE can't get any more happiness, the show is over.) So, at one point, he was talking about some IMAGINARY tribe somewhere, where the fathers induct the daughters into sex stuff. (He was factually incorrect.) So, he mentioned that parents could do something similar "for their kids", with a few details on what they could do to their underage children, and get their bodies to react. He also claimed to have already done so with one of his kids (already mentioned, I'm not getting into names.) Strictly speaking, we do not know whether the pervert actually did this, or if this was another lie from a career liar. The evidence supports either conclusion. Either way, it was perverted of him, and he invented the entire scenario from his sick fantasies. We will never know because his kid will never come forth to "set the record straight" on this one. That's obvious for several reasons- not the least of which is that our own trolls would crucify her and lambast her- supposedly for being improper by saying this but in reality trying to punish her for ruining their saintly fantasy of vpw, and trying to silence her from speaking again on the subject. Rape victims who are harassed on the witness stand have nothing on victims of vpw who come forth- with vpw apologists showing up out of the woodwork, specially to discredit her, insult her, and try to drown out her voice. Besides, I'm sure she's moved on in her life and wants nothing more to do with him or any of this.

Ok, so in layman's terms, the article said that he ended up in the operating room being worked on. While there, he stopped breathing for several minutes more than once- during which the E.R. team kept him going artificially until his heart beat by itself. (Each time it happened.) He was in a coma when he was worked on, and probably when he arrived. When he woke up from his coma, and the trauma of the heart attack and the subsequent (successful) attempts to keep him alive when his heart took a break, he claimed to have gone to Heaven. Whether anyone believes that he actually did, or had a vision of Heaven, hallucinated the whole thing, or actually made it up is up to the reader. I believe that's as far as anyone can go- in terms of the article.

You asked how they could sleep at night, knowing what they know. I replied with an old story that illustrated that a conscience is only effective for the conscientious. Once someone is used to doing evil, it doesn't bother their conscience anymore. And yes, as long as there's humanity, that's an on-going story.

It's amazing how much useless trash from commercials is still in my head. I remember Nancy W in those Bounty commercials ("the quicker picker-upper") and thought she was Madge, but Madge was the Palmolive character. I DID remember NW was in the movie "Murder By Death", a spoof of all the old detectives (Miss Marple, Poirrot, Charlie Chan...)

"And did we tell you the name of the game, boy? We call it Riding the Gravy Train. We're just knocked out. We heard about the sell out. You gotta get an album out, You owe it to the people. We're so happy we can hardly count. Everybody else is just green, Have you seen the chart? It's a hell of a start, It could be made into a monster If we all pull together as a team. And did we tell you the name of the game, boy? We call it Riding the Gravy Train."

vpw kept taking all sorts of Scriptures about anything and saying there was something sexual about them. Naturally, when the Bible warned against sexual sins (adultery, etc), vpw said that WASN'T sexual, it was "spiritual adultery."

Yes. I got to thinking about using this one when I mentioned the sidecar in the OTHER movie.

How about that....

twi has been a haven for sex maniacs for some time.

Old story. A man is asked what a conscience is. He points to his chest. "It is a 3-cornered thing in here. When I do wrong, it spins and the corners hurt me. But if I keep doing wrong, the points wear off, and it doesn't hurt anymore."

So, that paper never had that reporter, that paper never did a story on that person, and that paper never printed THAT story. How confident are you that you're being told the truth? And if you're being lied to, does that matter to you at all? (It would matter to me.)

"I didn't come here to be insulted!" "That's what you think!" "Married. I can see you right now in the kitchen, bending over a hot stove. But I can't see the stove. " "Remember, you're fighting for this woman's honor, which is probably more than she ever did. " " Something must be done! War would mean a prohibitive increase in our taxes." "Hey, I got an uncle lives in Taxes." "No, I'm talking about taxes - money, dollars!" "Dollars! There's-a where my uncle lives! Dollars, Taxes!" "Take a card." "Card? What will I do with the card?" "You can keep it. I've got fifty-one left. Now what were you saying?" "The eyes of the world are upon you. Notables from every country are gathered here in your honor. This is a gala day for you." "Well, a gal a day is enough for me. I don't think I could handle any more." This is another movie that includes a motorcycle and a sidecar.

"We're just knocked out. We heard about the sell out. You gotta get an album out, You owe it to the people. We're so happy we can hardly count." "Everybody else is just green, Have you seen the chart? It's a hell of a start, It could be made into a monster If we all pull together as a team."

Was the Sydney one the "Fine Arts and Historical Center"?

It's never a good sign when you have to keep changing your group's name so that people don't know who you are. So, "The Revenant Process" and "Blood and Ethos" and "Master Coaches Academy" and "Efficacius" are all MOMENTUS with a name-change and some window-dressing? Oh, don't forget "Life Design Coaching" , "Legendary Life Strategy" and "the Hero Being Process." That's a LOT of names to lose in the shuffle, all for Momentus, which people steer clear of because they've been warned. https://www.therevenantprocess.com/ https://www.bloodandethos.com/ A "revenant" is a mythic creature, a corpse that drags itself from its grave to haunt the living, and folklorists use it interchangeably with "vampire". The name translates, roughly, as "one who returns." Yeah, Momentus dragged itself from its grave to haunt the living. Sounds about right.

Oh, I ruminated. I just didn't post because I didn't come up with anything worth posting. *looks the list over* How about Captain Ahab?

"I didn't come here to be insulted!" "That's what you think!" "Married. I can see you right now in the kitchen, bending over a hot stove. But I can't see the stove. " "Remember, you're fighting for this woman's honor, which is probably more than she ever did. "

What do I think? 1) I think God does have information to give us. 2) I think we are far too quick to label things as information God has for us. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Some time ago, we had several inter-connected discussions here. They were on the subject of speaking in tongues, and what we called speaking in tongues, and what they had in common, and what they did not. As the discussions ran their course, and I examined everything said, and everything I COULD say, I changed my position. I have no proof that the speaking in tongues, as mentioned in the Bible, does not occur today somewhere, nor that it is not "available" today. However- I am convinced beyond any reasonable doubt, that what we learned in twi, and what is practiced today as "speaking in tongues" is neither the thing from the Bible, nor proceeding from God, but rather a secular activity which is done by actors every day. The only difference is that we THINK what we're doing is from God, and they know they're doing it of themselves. (Likewise, people who think they have to throw themselves on the floor when doing it are choosing to do so, and so on.) So, I don't think that what we called "speaking in tongues" was anything of the sort, or any kind of language. (I can link you to several threads where we discussed this. We split the discussion into different threads, so that someone who only wanted to discuss one thing could find it- and the main discussion kept getting side-tracked so badly that I felt very good points were getting lost. So, we had a thread on the secular practice that performs EXACTLY like what we did, we had a thread on what language is, and so on. To explore ALL of it would take a LOT of reading, which is one reason to look at the threads individually.) So, where would that leave "interpretation of tongues" and "prophecy"? Although I do think that OCCASIONALLY we got an actual message from God through them, the vast majority of the time, I think they were from the minds of the people performing them- which is understandable and to-be-expected under the circumstances in which we learned how to do them. ============================================================ Taking all of THAT into consideration, what would I say about what you're doing? I think it's much the same. OCCASIONALLY, there MIGHT be an actual message from God that gets through. The vast majority of the time, it would be you, thinking about what a message of God is SUPPOSED to look like and say, and producing a message that fits your own notion as to what that would be. That doesn't make you a bad person, nor crazy. It doesn't make you right nor receiving messages from God, either. That's my honest, measured opinion, for all that it's worth. You're free to consider it carefully, or dismiss it automatically, or anything else.

Next song. "Everybody else is just green, Have you seen the chart? It's a hell of a start, It could be made into a monster If we all pull together as a team."

Without a link, we either need the EXACT name of the video, or who posted it, or (preferably) both. A search with only the titles you gave turned up lots of video games and stuff.

That's why I'm thinking SOMETHING was exaggerated. Comatose instead of dead, for example. THINKING he went to Heaven, when there may have been a vision, normal dream, or a hallucination, rather than actually visiting the place. BTW, Raf (a journalist) is not exaggerating about finding the story if you give him what he asked for.

Ok, let's see. I'm thinking "Mary Tyler Moore"-verse. That could meant that show (I doubt the title character was Jewish, and I don't think that was a spinoff of something. It HAD spinoffs, though. I have trouble picturing "Lou Grant" as the one described here. So, I'll go with "Rhoda." (Did we ever see Carlton the doorman?)

(Brad Majors was the guy who stumbled his way through Dr Frankenfurter's mansion in "the Rocky Horror Picture Show." Whenever he says his full name, the audience insults him.) Ok, classic role, since we have a Barrymore and Orson Welles. William Hurt in a classic role suggest something classical and British. Cautious to avoid spoilers, I looked up "Lethal Weapon" and confirmed Danny Glover was the other cop, the one who was getting too old for this. He's African-American. I'm thinking Shakespeare. Although it's not ridiculous to see a "black" man playing a (white) Shakepearean role, it's also not ridiculous for the reverse. So, which direction do I guess? I'm going with the title role of The Moor of Venice. My guess is "OTHELLO." (This was actually an Irish role, spelled "O'thello." Most people drop the apostrophe. ;) )
