  1. We've offered chances here for various people to speak for themselves here in a more "neutral" venue- where they don't control the microphone. That offer came shortly after they shut down THEIR OWN venue and silenced their own rank-and-file, and has been open since. The closest we've ever gotten was CANNED COMMERCIALS and people (john) pretending there was some clever trick to referring to us without naming us, and addressing us and PRETENDING he had no intention for his ADVERTISEMENTS to end up here when they were WRITTEN FOR HERE. Before that, I also so one of his people (as in, someone who answered to him personally) go to Christian messageboards, pretend to be a Christian unaffiliated with ces/stfi at the time, and say, in effect, "Gee, fellow Christians, I just found this Christian website and I'm finding it has some neat stuff on it, if unusual, what do you guys think?" We've DECADES of experience with john (and others) making bland commercials and refusing to communicate openly or as equals. (Not to mention lying- John promised he would communicate PRIVATELY with anyone who contacted him PRIVATELY and with their legal names- and some people did so over a decade ago and still haven't gotten their responses.) We're also familiar with how easy it is to both POSTURE and announce a similarity to people in the Bible- they did that in the Bible, too! It also demonstrates nothing to find a quote from someone else, recent or old, and announce it is relevant and not bother to THINK FOR ONESELF rather than a bland, canned response. "A witty saying proves nothing."-Voltaire. Except for the insiders who want to believe you, it fails. Outsiders can easily see the LACK of personal attention and LACK of relevance- especially when asked to explain the specifics and you are UNABLE or UNWILLING to do so. ==================== Other than wanting to silence the voices at the GSC, I don't see why you're here so far, and you're no good at accomplishing that with your current efforts. Perhaps you can make a real effort and are better than the bland attempts so far. (Or perhaps not-perhaps you really DON'T think beyond repeating what your group's said no matter how ridiculous it is.) We all have experience with that- from twi and from the groups formed AFTER twi. ======================= Meanwhile, Steve brought up a good question. We get john doing everything but actually addressing questions or addressing us, but it's an important question. Momentus was very harmful to many Christians who participated it, and used techniques that your quote would seem to condemn. We've heard that it is no longer OFFICIALLY being used, but is being recommended under-the-table, covertly, secretly, despite the known harm, and no apology for harming anyone was ever made. Has the thing finally been discontinued, or is it still being COVERTLY used by john when the microphones are off?
  2. Nick Nolte I Love Trouble Julia Roberts
  3. George correctly identified the Batman TV show. So, yes, it's his turn.
  4. Yes. I misspelled Judd Nelson's name as Judd Hirsch. He's the actor both movies have in common, so play continued as normal despite my typo.
  5. No, that would have resulted in the wrong number of "Sodiums". I used exactly enough for 2 lines of the song.
  6. Yes. That's become a running gag in certain circles. Not that I've heard, but the Batman show had Batgirl, and when she went into action, she had her own theme-song!
  7. Nothing. But hypocrisy has a long, proud history with twi, beginning with its founder. We were supposed to not count our families- but vpw had a huge deal made of his own family tree (the dead members, not counting the live twi ones), and if twi announced something was suddenly significant, then it was.
  8. The "Sodium" part was neither part of the lyrics, nor a quote. That's why it's separated, as if it wasn't part of the lyrics, and has no quotation marks around it. This is the "mash up" thread, and clues are not required to be quotes or even trivia.
  9. "Where do you come from, where do you go? What is your scene, baby, we just gotta know!" "Are you a chick who fell in from outer space? Or are you real with a tender warm embrace? Yeaaah, whose baby are you?" Sodium, Sodium, Sodium, Sodium, Sodium, Sodium, Sodium, Sodium, Sodium, Sodium, Sodium, Sodium, Sodium, Sodium, Sodium, Sodium....
  10. A casual read shows this is so obviously written by twi and is just a repost or cut-and-paste. twi's poor grammar shows through in words like "celebrators" for "celebrants", and their "international countries" phrase has long been amusing to those who wonder how many countries are within your own borders and are thus not "international", other than Vatican City. Of course, nobody from Vatican City attended, nor were they invited. That's hardly news.
  11. We just saw it. He gets a vibe, huh? Everybody else expecting Ronnie to be alive on one of the other Earths? Of which there are 52 we can find? Mrs Wolf speculated that crossing from Earth to Earth cuts a Speed Force connection- as if there's a different Speed Force per Earth, and your connection only works on YOUR Earth because you have signal, like a wifi connection. Certainly explains that's why Zoom doesn't just run over. Me, I also appreciate the work it took to slip the homage in place, complete with "Coming!" "Coming!"
  12. They air here 1-2 weeks after there, due to adding subtitles or whatever. We haven't seen it yet. Give us 72 hours.
  13. That's him. Martin Freeman in "Sherlock" (shame on you for not watching that), Jude Law in the Guy Ritchie movies, and a number of the others from a variety of media. Amazing how we recognize the Sherlocks but not the Watsons, often.
  14. Will Farrell the Producers Nathan Lane
  15. Seriously? Ok, gotta think of something.
  16. Nigel Bruce Robert Duvall James Mason Colin Starkey Martin Freeman Ian Hart Jude Law LeVar Burton (kinda) Lucy Kiu (kinda)
  17. "Where do you come from, where do you go? What is your scene, baby, we just gotta know!" "Are you a chick who fell in from outer space? Or are you real with a tender warm embrace? Yeaaah, whose baby are you?"
  18. (Actually, that was the rare "quadruple" post. You don't see many of those.)
  19. A group of 18 could stay around for quite a while. It's very unlikely that, over that time, they could recruit an additional 18 to replace them over the decades as old age and other things get them. The zeitgeist that surged members in twi in the 70s and early 80s is stone cold, and the adherents are lukewarm at best. So, over time, this "problem" is self-correcting. If any are still of childbearing age, we might see some raising their kids that way, but that's it. Then again, if they're that loyal, they may have absorbed vpw's visible bias against everyone in twi having children (except the top cadre) and had none at all.
  20. *wild swing* "Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Sex" etc etc by Woody Allen?
  21. Nigel Bruce Robert Duvall James Mason Colin Starkey Martin Freeman Ian Hart
  22. Look Who's Talking John Travolta Pulp Fiction
  23. Is this "Scent of a Woman?" And was the phrase "OUR Harvard mouth" meant to be "YOUR Harvard mouth"? It looks like a simple typo. If not, it changes the quote a LOT.
