  1. I only have conjecture. Perhaps he was rubbish as a pharmacist and this required no special skills beyond what he already learned there. Perhaps he is sold-out and glassy-eyed and would jump off a cliff if twi ordered him-and they told him to show up. Perhaps he's doing something there while working, and planning his exit when it suits HIM. That's all I've got.
  2. To my experience, 1989. Before lcm drew the line in the sand, there were all sorts of people officially contributing to Way Productions, and all sorts of people unofficially offering music at the ROA from their tents. (I bought more than a few music tapes in both categories.) When lcm drew his line in the sand, ALL of them seemed to run off- as did I shortly thereafter, along with 80% of the previous twi'ers of the previous year. The ROA ;89 was the last time Acts 29 showed up, and they were the only quality musicians to show up in any format (none selling tapes, etc.) On the main stage, twi began featuring some truly amateur talent to fill the time, and that, IMHO, began the era when the performers became truly cheezy. (It's my opinion that Acts 29 attended one final ROA for much of the same reasons I did, and they didn't work 1/2 as hard as previous years- Bob S never lost his voice during the thing, and that was a shock.)
  3. I appreciate you offering your thoughts for free and not for sale. However, I am curious about the same thing TLC asked, and am a little curious why you can't even make a general statement here. I'm more interested in actually reading your stuff if I have a sense of where it's going first-or at least what possibly new ideas or new perspectives I might encounter should I visit. I'm not afraid of new ideas, but if I'm going to make a time-investment, I'd like to base that decision on a little more data.
  4. On behalf of everyone logging in on a mobile device, and everyone logging in with high security settings that may not allow images to load, I'd like to remind you that posts that are entirely images aren't nearly as amusing if all you see is a placeholder and the word "no" or "yes." Doesn't mean you can't post them, but don't be surprised if you don't have as many fans for them as you'd expected.
  5. This was a "game show" that originated in the UK, and later had a US version. Both versions lasted for several years. They are shows where "the points don't matter", and there's 4 "contestants" in the "game show." Both shows had the same name. What is it?
  6. That's him. He was "inspired" by the real DJ Adrian Cronauer. He never said this stuff, that was all improv. He did, however, originate "GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD Morning Vietnam!" He said the reason it was really, really long was a practical one. When you're a DJ, eventually you're going to dash in at the very last second. The long word gave him up to 30 seconds to grab records and do his other prep for his shift.
  7. D) 2017 Moneyhands and a handful at the top. about to be cut off from the payroll, pretend to be outraged about doctrine and practice. They then storm off an announce a need to form a new group (with the name and URL they conveniently registered about a year before, and bring along some other twi'ers.
  8. Hello, JCS! You probably already know this, but if you read around here, you'll find that all that was not only old news, but vpw's idea! In between infidelity while he was a minister, he heard about Christian hippies, and rushed over there. While there, he asked one of them (a former poster here) what it was like to ATTEND AN ORGY, and asked for details. vpw followed that up by telling him that "ALL THAT IS AVAILABLE," and that God Almighty was OK with ORGIES and that wasn't forbidden by the Bible. vpw went out of his way to set up a sexually-permissive group with sexually-permissive locales. (We can rehash some details if you need them,) So, one by-product of that was all the stuff that you saw. vpw had that in mind. It certainly paved the way for his successful rapes and molestations.
  9. This was "500 Questions." I'll come up with something else, unless someone else has one.
  10. " Excuse me, sir. Seeing as how the V.P. is such a V.I.P., shouldn't we keep the P.C. on the Q.T.? 'Cause if it leaks to the V.C. he could end up M.I.A., and then we'd all be put out in K.P. "
  11. It's just a matter of time. When vpw decided to start his own group, he stayed on church payroll for several years, while he set everything up. Once he had his (plagiarized) class and (plagiarized) book, his congregation (who were part of the church first), and a location (the farm having been partly renovated), THAT was when he officially resigned from his church. The people here, most of the top ones were actually in when the first exposures came in the 80s. To have stayed through that-and then to have stayed through all the purges and exits in the DECADES since, only to leave NOW- well, the reason's rather obvious. They decided they were done taking orders and passing along donations. They want to be the last stop for donations and give the orders. So, they spent the last several months to a year setting things up. All of this is all technicalities and "going through the motions." They're already committed to their new organization, RaR.
  12. David "the Marxist Minstrels" Noebel? What an unbelievable coincidence....
  13. We saw it when we first heard "I am the future Flash". Mrs Wolf dropped her list to 1 suspect. I began with the comic book list of Flashes, instantly dropped all the ones that didn't appear in the show so far, and immediately ended up with 2 suspects-the correct one I figured was correct and the longshot that I kept around just in case. As the evidence piled up for the last 2 episodes, Mrs Wolf said she was beginning to doubt because it was all really piling up and getting obvious, so it must be a smokescreen to throw us off the trail,. I replied that she was confusing "Sherlock" (brilliant mysteries in a show) with DC's TV shows (which are not geared for mystery fans and must dumb down mysteries so everyone can see the answer coming.) So, yeah, we had his name fairly early and kept checking if we missed a suspect. BTW, my thinking is that the sniper rifle won't have a bullet- it will have the anti-speed widget or the not-yet-invented thing. Hey, George, when this unfolded, did you have flashbacks to the original conflict between Jim Starlin's Adam Warlock and Magus in Strange Tales, circa 1975? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_Warlock#Other_versions I did. Mrs Wolf said that we've seen this a bunch of times. Then again, she's more fond of time travel stories than I am (she's a Whovian.)
  14. "First they came for the Jews and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew. Then they came for the Communists and I did not speak out because I was not a Communist. Then they came for the trade unionists and I did not speak out because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak out for me." ~Pastor Martin Niemöller So, yes, every decade, twi has had the pattern repeat. Some people inside point out some things that are wrong. The response of the establishment in twi is to suppress discussion, kick them out-including leaders- and forbid anyone to discuss it or even THINK about it. It happened in the 1980s, and 4/5 the group left as leaders were kicked out for refusing to swear an oath of allegiance PERSONALLY to lcm in response to rape victims coming forward and rather vague things being discussed. It happened in the 1990s when lcm was making stupid decisions that kept getting reversed and upending the lives of leadership (now you're salaried, now you can't accept a gift of an apple but I can still accept the gift of a new car if I want to, now you're required to return to secular employment...) It happened in the 2000s when people wanted to know why the top leader (lcm) was in court, defending against charges of rape and other felonies, And here it comes again now. Every single time, there have been people who said "We can change twi, we can FIX twi, when WE act we will succeed where all the others have failed..." and were kicked out soon afterwards. "Those who don't know history are doomed to repeat it.”- Edmund Burke. "The lessons repeat until they are learned." -variously attributed
  15. It hasn't aired here yet, and we haven't seen it yet, either. I'll put it in this weekend's "queue."
  16. And the mid-80s. I'm not sure if there was one in the 00s, but it seems that there's been one of these futile attempts at reform each decade, resulting in some top dogs being thrown out, and some rank-and-file leaving. Amazing there's any left after all the exodi.
  17. Futuristic movie, released in the mid 1980s and set in the "near-future." (And NOT a BttF movie.) Blade Runner?
  18. That's him. He's had a liot of work, and not JUST as Severus Snape and Hans Gruber. I was saving his SF roles if nobody got this set.
