  2. Actors who appeared during the series' run included Gavin Mac Leod, William Christopher, Alice Ghostley, Hans Conried, Joe Tata, and Harvey Keitel. Really. Of the main characters of the show, one had previously been a bookkeeper and the other the president of a toy company before the show and their current "occupations." 2 characters once traveled to London, and several traveled to Paris. The fake snow was sometimes white salt, but later it was all just white paint.
  3. "I'm funny how? I mean, funny like I'm a clown? I amuse you? I make you laugh? I'm here to amuse you? What do you mean funny? Funny how, how am I funny?"
  4. "Me, I'm dishonest. And a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest. I mean honestly, it's the honest ones you have to watch out for. Because you can never predict when they're going to do something incredibly...stupid."
  5. Yes. Or the cover that "Bowling For Soup" recorded. I actually prefer the cover.
  6. First, we have the white couple, doing all their repairs by hand, saving the city. The only Asians we see are gullible and fleeced by a con artist. The only African-American is a con artist. The only Latino is a murderer, and he almost has no face, he's almost sub-human. (It's even specific he's a Puerto Rican from the Bronx, just to push the knife in a little more.) We also have a white villain, but he's contrasted with the nice couple, so he's not really a stereotype. "Believe." NO, I WON'T! I certainly won't believe Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore in "Ghost," at any rate.
  7. "What a big heart I have! The better to love you with!"
  8. All right, which horse's patoot's holding up the thread- oh, wait, it's me. Hang on...
  9. (I might as well have linked out from "Wolf" with Nicholson. Let's see...) Something's Gotta Give Keanu Reeves Bram Stoker's Dracula
  10. BZZZZT! Michelle Pfeiffer was in BATMAN RETURNS, the second of the Tim Burton movies. Christian Bale was NOT in that movie. (Unless he was hidden among the extras, which would be news to me.) We pick up from "Batman Returns."
  11. The same Howard who said shiny shoes were good for looking up women's dresses? Yeah, I bet he gave off that vibe in person.

  14. This is that really racist movie!
  15. No kidding, it was set in Puerto Rico?
  16. Kate Beckinsale Click Christopher Walken
  17. That was the US President in "MARS ATTACKS" after Congress was wiped out.
  18. "I think having that information that the "profit" that founded the Way and was in my eyes close to faultless as a person can be, was not as Christ like as they played themselves to be will be a final blow to deconstructing all of my beliefs. " This is easy to find around here. What can I say, briefly? According to his own words, vpw chose between 3 professions, 1 of which was ministry, 1 was business, 1 was music. So, it wasn't a calling, but a vocation. Besides, the other 2 would have been more work. vpw plagiarized his way through his early years as a minister, and in his first year, he REPEATEDLY considered giving up- in his own words! How would he have treated any twi'er who even CONSIDERED giving up twice in a year? When he set up the way corps, he did so with no experience in ANY form of training program whatsoever, and the only official rule for determining if someone was ready was what he said to lcm- "YOU CAN STAY AS LONG AS YOUR MONEY HOLDS!" vpw dismissed an entire early group of corps abruptly. He went to each one later, and offered them a "second chance" -if they were willing to swear an oath of loyalty to him PERSONALLY. Not all of them accepted, but most apparently did. vpw's claim to fame was the pfal class- all 3 levels of it. Nearly the entire contents of them were plagiarized from BG Leonard, EW Bullinger, JE Stiles or EW Kenyon. Early versions of the White Book (RTHST) mentioned him meeting a man who put the subject together like a hand in a glove- that was JE Stiles- but by the 3rd edition, this mention was dropped completely. The White Book's 1st edition was largely Stiles' book "Gifts of the Spirit" just retyped with a few words moved around. If you have your copy still, you can prove it right now. Flip to the FAQ. There's a question where the answer is phrased that vpw calls some type of people "FAITH BLASTERS." vpw NEVER called ANYONE "faith blasters"- that was Stiles. According to vpw's own claims, he should have called them a "believing-blaster" if anything- but he ripped the FAQ off of Stiles. BTW, if you move the words around and rip off the content but rephrased, that's still plagiarism. If you remove from the pfal classes everything that came straight from Stiles, Bullinger and Leonard, you have less than a session of the foundational, and something like that for the others. Keep in mind that vpw never said that pfal was a compilation of the works of others. A few times he made off-hand comments about SOME content. If you have the book-length advertisement for twi, "The Way- Living in Love," about 200 pages in, vpw said that nothing he did was original except for the way he put it together. Apologists for vpw like to claim that one passing reference, buried in the book, qualifies as him saying pfal was a compilation and not original. It falls far, far short of either. BTW, the very first pfal class was Leonard's class on "Receiving the Holy Spirit Today" that vpw sat through 1 1/2 times. vpw retaught Leonard's content entirely. (People who were grads of Leonard's class were considered automatically to be grads of vpw's class.) vpw rarely mentioned Leonard because the plagiarism there was blatant and too obvious if one looks closely. Not long after that, vpw ran across Stiles, then got Stiles' book and retyped it into the White Book. If you actually caught vpw doing that, he occasionally would claim he worked all the error out of the works of others- but he did not. He seemed not to understand their work, and copied it over with errors intact. So, Bullinger's errors got included (like the difference between the kingdom of heaven and the kingdom of God) and Leonard's errors got included (like the definitions of the manifestations), and so on. He moved some words around to make plagiarism less obvious, and made some things wordier, but did not improve upon their substance. Most people would claim that the sheer dishonesty involved with all that would disqualify vpw as a leader of anything. But that's only part of things, since it leaves out the molestation, the rapes, the drugging, and so on.
