"All Along the Watchtower." -
That's it.

IIRC, Darren and the nosy neighbor were both changed. Dick Sargent & Dick York were Darren, and Agnes Moorehead was the SECOND actress in her role. I recall no cross-over, so that was the wild guess. IIRC, the voice of Wilma Flintstone was also Maw from the Hillbilly Bears. I'm confident this is not that cartoon.

"Move over, Rover, and let Jimi take over!"

Wild guess here based on actors replacing actors in the same role- "Bewitched"?

Cardinal Richelieu has his men grab a NYC subway, and make hostages out of the passengers. It's up to a few of the king's swordsmen (and 1 hot-blooded Gascon wannabee) to stop him!

I think the idea is that, generally, Sola Scriptura is a subset of Fundamentalism. Fundamentalism might be seen as "Gimme that old time religion." It's considered the antithesis, often, of modern movements, and is a matter of getting back to basics. However, getting back to basics and "old time religion" are not the same as ditching everything that isn't Sola Scriptura. There's Fundamentalists who consider other things as Fundamental. On the other hand, Sola Scriptura doesn't NECESSARILY mean "discard anything that isn't in a verse." Anything that isn't in a verse is completely optional and is devoid of authority. If a verse suggests it, it has that much, but no more. (So, a Sola Scriptura person is not required to discard using a computer, for example.) So, they're not the same thing, but there's an overlap, and some people may consider them the same. When you have someone who takes the Bible "literally", as in, historically accurate and so on, they're called "Fundamentalist."

What? Aw, man, they had the best fruit pies! *checks* Well, Tasykakes and Little Debbie are still around. With openings in the market, both can expand with new products to fill demand.

In the same class, EB taught what vpw taught in other places and times- that the vocabulary of the speaker affected the phrasing but not the content- which is why Amos, a shepherd, was less poetic than educated John's poetic Gospel opening. So, if Amos used a phrase like "muck and mire" rather than, say, "filth", vpw and EB would have endorsed it. Also in this class was EB playing the recording and saying that we can tell which were the interpretations with additions, because they took extra time. The idea was-if the words in tongues took 11 seconds (for example), then the interpretation into English (for example) should take 11 seconds (for example.) Someone who's multilingual reminded me to just tell people to pull out any set of instructions anybody has, for some electronic device. Look for where the instructions are in different languages. Compare the lengths of the sets against each other. Those are all supposedly real words in real languages all saying the same thing. Myself, I found a particular "I Love Lucy" episode as a good example. ("Paris At Last".) At the end of the episode, Lucy is in Paris, and trying to explain where some counterfeit French francs came from. The Police Desk Sergeant only spoke French. One of his officers spoke French and German, and was socializing with a tourist who spoke German and Spanish. So, Ricky arrived, and translated from Spanish to English to tell Lucy what the Desk Sergeant said. Lucy replied- which was translated to Spanish, to German, then to French. (I watched it with someone who understood some of each language, who confirmed it was all correct.) The scene is funny, and plays out with each person passing along emotion and tone along with the translation. Watch the scene, and pay attention to how long each set takes as it passes each person. Languages like German are a LOT briefer than languages like French, so the first step often shows a BIG gap between the "tongue" of French and the "interpretation" in German. BTW, Raf? Did the atheist control group of 1 have any theatrical training or experience?

TWI taught that SIT bypasses the mind. The others don't-according to them. The so-called Great Principle stated: "God, who is Spirit, teaches His creation in you, which is now your spirit, and your spirit teaches your mind. Then it becomes manifested in the senses realm as you act." Can't delete that file even if I tried..... Naturally, this contradicts the Foundational Class when vpw says that God is Spirit, and can only communicate with what He is. As Raf pointed out once, if Spirit can only communicate with spirit, then "our spirit" COULD NOT communicate with our mind to teach it.

That's David Bowie's "SPACE ODDITY." I had to make sure it wasn't Peter Schilling's answer to it- "Major Tom (Earth Below Us)" before posting. (I thought carefully, I didn't look it up.) -

It is Sherlock Holmes. The show "Elementary" is entertaining, and helps to pass the time while I wait for "SHERLOCK" to resume. The BBC show, like many of their shows, runs in miniseries arcs. So, there's been less than a dozen episodes, each a separate movie. It's a modern-day show with a modern-day Sherlock who is a consulting detective, and a Dr John Watson who is a military veteran. (Should sound familiar.) Really, it's a fantastic show if you like mysteries or Sherlock Holmes.

The Drakes company will be happy to pick up the slack. They'll sell pastries you can call Twinkies which look and taste the same.

There's one character who, supposedly, has had the most different movie adaptations about him of different types- Dracula. There's one character who comes in second on that, having had many different versions about him in the cinema. THAT character currently has inspired TWO different television shows CURRENTLY airing about him- one by the BBC and one on standard US television networks. Name either show.

I don't think moat people would remember YELLOW SUBMARINE from that line,but I sure would.

On the one hand, twi PROFESSED Sola Scriptura but was not. vpw always talked a good game, but The Word of vpw always trumped The Word of God when they conflicted. No matter his PUBLIC protestations against that, it's what he demanded in private among his trained leadership-and that's what got out in practice. Among the lowly peons, however, many got the Sola Scriptura idea and ran with that. So, after leaving twi, some held to that as fundamental, as foundational. (Others became atheists, agnostics, wiccans, etc.) I don't know "MOST" ex-twi would be Sola Scriptura. I think many would be. I am, but there's still some who are Sola VPW- where what vpw said, that's The Will of God. Even if Scripture says otherwise. That's why we get people decades later whose entire vocabulary seems to be mostly twi buzzwords and vpw slang.

He said that name is applied. He didn't say whether he thought it was sensible to apply it or not. The phrasing might be taken to suggest it isn't- or it might not. He'll have to answer as to what he meant either way. If either of you care. It's getting us off-topic, I think.

The Honeymooners, of course. BTW, if you can ever bring yourself to watch the Star Wars Holiday Special ever again, (I'd bet my life you saw it when it aired in 1977), you may recognize a Honeymooners moment. Art Carney played Saun Dann, a human merchant on the Wookiee homeworld. As a Stormtrooper has him display things for inspection, Art Carney does an increasingly elaborate preparation without doing anything until the Stormtrooper gets frustrated and yells at him like Ralph Kramden used to do with Norton.
