  1. "Hey Fat Kid! Good job." "My name... is Horace!" "So what's German for 'please don't murder us'? " 'Bitte uns nicht Mord zu tun.'" [bTW, Bing Translator says that should be "Bitte morden sie nicht uns," and the other was "please do not murder."] "BOGUS!" "You're not a virgin are you? 'No'? What do you mean 'No'?" "Well, Steve... but he doesn't count." "DOESN'T COUNT???" "I thought they killed him in the last one." "They did, he returns from the grave." "He always returns from the grave. If they blew him up, put his head in a blender and mailed the rest of him to Norway, he would still return from the grave!" "That was part 7." "No, Sean! Scary house! Real monsters! Us, twelve years old, remember?" "Midnight, end of the world, remember?" "That's it, Del. This case is too hard, man, Let's be firemen instead." "I'm glad you're gettin' major laughs outta this, Rich. The problem is two-thousand year-old dead guys do not get up and walk away by themselves." "Rudy find some silver bullets." "Where the hell am I suppose to find silver bullets?" "I don't know. Fat kid, get a map, find Shadowbrook Road." "What, do I look in the index for "big scary mansion?" " "See? Told ya. Only one way to kill a werewolf." {b]"See ya later, Band-Aid Breath!"[/b] " So let me get this straight. You're telling me there was this two-thousand year-old mummy here, right? But now he's not here. He's gone. Vanished. History. And you're saying you didn't hear anybody come in here or leave, is that right?" "I heard my dad talking on the phone to a guy down at the police station tonight. There was a guy down there screaming he was a werewolf, and they shot him! And the body disappeared from the coroner van, the coroner guy was dead!" "So what? He got shot and the werewolf took his body?" "No you bean head! He WAS a werewolf! Maybe." "Yeah but if they shot him?" "It must've been regular bullets, not silver ones. Look I know this sounds stupid, a mummy disappeared from the museum tonight." "Mummy came in my house!" "Guys, Dracula might be here too."

  3. Right- interesting disconnect. He never went into any sort of PROGRAM where you learn from others. He never went into any sort of PROGRAM where you help others. He never set up any sort of volunteer time or programs locally to help others. He never set up any INFORMAL project where he "apprenticed" under others (for lack of a better word.) He refused all possibilities of learning to help others, to learn in leadership programs- then, with his LACK of experience, he insisted others learn those things from him. Looking back, his IGNORANCE of both subjects is blatant, with a wealth of obvious, easy-to-fix problems at the dawn of each program-many of which were never fixed. How easy were they to fix? I could have fixed them at age 23. By then, I had experience with leadership and service programs- and didn't make mistakes that vpw made at TWICE my age. Then again, I actually wanted to HELP people. That makes a big difference.

  5. Kimmel definitely got his TV start there. Before that, he was a comedian and radio personality- that's where he met Adam Carolla. (Carolla was doing radio when they met, also.) There were indeed people who won Ben Stein's money. Usually, if Ben went 2nd in the "Best of 10" and didn't tie the other person or better, Adam would continue immediately with an 11th question: "How does it feel to lose five thousand dollars?" If Ben tied, the other person got an extra thou added to their total. (For a short time, a tie was counted as a win for the other person.) If they won, he handed them all $5000, and said things like "I salute you for your superior knowledge. I hate you, get out of here!" And Stein added in the end "See, it can be done..." as he began his closing.
  6. Ok, TLC, keep in mind for the future that the idea that the Church Epistles (and this passage) were neither "revelation" nor "God-breathed" was not meant to say (and, we presume, not meant to imply) that they should never have been written. As is the part about it teaching "a different Christianity" than Jesus did. The difference is unexplained, but they're not supposed to be the same. Your decision whether or not to accept the homework assignment someone passed you. Me, I don't even have enough time for the next few days to get a WORTHY response to the original question. (I've read them before, from sources other than twi, and I'm sure I can find something equivalent when I actually have time.) I think the real focus should be on actually addressing the OP. The question sounds simple- but the answer's pretty deep.
  7. There may have been a more...diplomatic manner in which to phrase that.
  8. No. This movie's a bit more memorable (at least), and has been around long enough to have airings on TCM. (I'm not sure if that can be said about "Scary Movie.")
  9. "Hey Fat Kid! Good job." "My name... is Horace!" "So what's German for 'please don't murder us'? " 'Bitte uns nicht Mord zu tun.'"

  11. That's not what you were supposed to yell! It is, however, the correct answer.
  12. "You've got to say, 'I'm a HUMAN BEING, GodD*it! My life has VALUE!' So I want you to get up now. I want all of you to get up out of your chairs. I want you to get up right now and go to the window. Open it, and stick your head out, and yell, 'I'M AS MAD AS HELL, AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE!' "
  13. It was part of the whole package. We were sold the whole package. That package was of a religious organization that was unique in that its authority and teaching were solely from the Bible, and whose understanding of the Bible and God Almighty was unique among organizations, and uniquely accurate, because only its founder refused to consult with people, only with God Almighty. So, the whole organization was special, and involvement was predicated upon all that. If we'd known from the beginning that the teachings were an eclectic assembly of different Christian writers and teachers rather than taught by God Almighty, and that the founder got ALL of his content from others rather than NONE of his content, we certainly would have approached the group differently. It certainly would have been more worthy of respect-if they'd told us the truth from Day One rather than lies from Day One. There's no reason to question this- if it was just another group, albeit an excellent one, it could warrant a certain amount of respect. If it was THE Group, with THE Truth (which is what we were taught), that's another thing altogether- and twi's retention is still largely based on that to this day just as it was when we were involved.
  14. Hey-I remember that movie from 1 line! That's Disney's "Song of the South."
  15. Quite a trick, since he heard of Bullinger in 1954 and the official chronology "memorial" released in 1985 said that it was first published in 1967, same year as the filming of pfal.
  16. I need to drag Mrs Wolf to this thread from time to time. She likes Sinatra songs.
  17. If Shatner's show was cancelled that quickly, it's possible we don't know it or at least can't remember it.
  18. Julia Roberts got revenge on one of the guys in one episode (they'd met as children.) George Clooney and Brad Pitt also appeared, each in an episode. Elliott Gould plays the father of Ross and Monica Geller in several episodes.
  19. That was correct. Sammy Davis Jr wasn't allowed to stay at the same hotel in the original. In the remake, nobody cared where Don Cheadle stayed. The Rat Pack all knew each other, so ad-libbing was easy. Brad Pitt's character is supposedly always running around, so he eats whenever he can sit down-which is most of the times we see him. "Danny Ocean" was the name that was kept, all the others were changed.
  20. Exactly. It was ripped off of 2 of Bullinger's works, both with titles in the form of questions... "The Rich Man and Lazarus-An Intermediate State?" and "Saul and the Witch at Endor-Did the Prophet Samuel Rise at Her Bidding?" vpw then "wrote" "Are the Dead Alive Now?" the only twi book with a question title. So, Bullinger's books were timely in that respect. vpw's was a matter of "I now have enough text to rip off to make a new book and claim I wrote this."
  21. The ones that define the organization become critical to those people whose identities are dependent upon that organization. Know how it defines itself as different from the marketplace, and you know exactly which doctrines the so-called "individuals" (drones) will value. They weren't really listening to what you were saying. They were hearing what they expected to hear, and if you diverged from the script in their heads, they were unable to notice.
  22. I think the truth of it was that he waited until the attention was not fully on him to get the surgery. He was so narcissistic that he was worried this would destroy people's opinions of him, especially because his supposed "law" of believing is disproved by his need for surgery. I meant that informed laymen, as of the time I wrote that, were far more informed on those subjects than a man who supposedly went to school to study them- and kept claiming the people he studied under were top men in their fields.
  23. You quoted most of the first post, but for some reason left out this part. The documentation for all of this is on that thread. I linked the thread. First we discussed the book, then we discussed twi and vpw history. So, I began making a timeline based on that. Then I included information from other threads, usually linking the threads if not just naming them. And then I added the information to the next timeline. So, go to that thread and look around.
  24. HA! We were correct! Earlier in the thread, we worked it all out, just based on what was printed in "The Way:Living in Love."
