If you want to follow up on this, there were discussions in previous threads. Here's a few: https://www.greasespotcafe.com/ipb/topic/12635-other-prophesies-prophets-and-charismaniacs/ https://www.greasespotcafe.com/ipb/topic/13026-they-pulled-that-stupid-prophecy-thing-off-their-website/ https://www.greasespotcafe.com/ipb/topic/12471-ces-is-in-a-mess/ https://www.greasespotcafe.com/ipb/topic/12521-prophecy-and-dreams/ https://www.greasespotcafe.com/ipb/topic/20712-jals-most-recent-email-12272009/ There were a bunch of threads that addressed the original claims, with Karen G claiming to see spiders come out of people's noses and so on. For those of you wondering how this stuff works, I started a thread... We discussed "personal prophecy", cold reading and hot reading. https://www.greasespotcafe.com/ipb/topic/12632-step-right-up-get-your-own-personal-prophecy/

It is a "thing." It is a con that should have been caught when it was introduced to CES/STFI by its top people. Instead, people blindly went along, to the point that they were willing to turn on their spouses if someone spoke against them with a "personal prophecy." Pretty early in CES history, they went from "let's discuss things openly" to "here's our doctrine and don't dare try to speak against it." Part of that was their so-called "personal prophecy." It was personal. It was not "prophecy" because it was CALLED that but was actually just some fool dressing up nonsense to sound godly, OR some nonsense meant to attack someone that was spoken if that person was an obstacle. For all of JAL's supposed skills at understanding things, he let them just badmouth his Mrs and get between them, breaking up his marriage because some fool dressed up some slander against her. It was no more sensible than if some woman in a gypsy costume said some nonsense and JAL decided to leave his wife because she was evil. (BTW, JAL later repented of teaching this and believing it, but he NEVER apologized to all the people he misled, and neither did the charlatans who conned him.) There's been entire discussions about this.

1. A lot of posters who are still Christians are still gun-shy about getting on any bandwagon after what happened in twi. There's a lot of suspicion when a new idea shows up. (Some of this would have been useful when "Momentus" and "personal prophecy" were thrown at people who were supposed to swallow them and not object or even question either.) 2. Strictly speaking, I would not say God and/or Jesus Christ have been excluded from this messageboard. I don't think they're particularly welcome at present, but that doesn't mean threads on either will actually be deleted or locked. However, they might be MOVED. "Open" is for discussions that don't fit ANY other category. "Matters of Faith" has sections that fit this thread, and I think it belongs in "Doctrinal" more than anywhere else.

That's it.

Actually, NEITHER. But you had the right idea. Remember who said it and you'll have the correct movie. (You were closer with TDKR than TDK for a specific reason.)

"Every time that I look in the mirror, all these lines in my face getting clearer."

"Eleanor Rigby," by The Beatles, of course.

So, we're scratching this one and doing the other one.

"Mistletoe can be deadly if you eat it." "A kiss can be deadlier, if you mean it."

OK, but nobody got it then, IIRC. (No, I didn't mean to reuse it so soon....)

"In this country, you gotta make the money first. Then when you get the money, you get the power. Then when you get the power, then you get the woman."

My favorite moment in that movie was when Ben Richards was trying to disguise himself as a tourist heading for Hawaii, complete with matching Hawaiian shirt. He was using some woman to further his disguise. She told him to let her go, because she gets all kinds of sick- airsick, carsick- and she was going to end up throwing up on him in the plane. "Go ahead- it won't show on THIS shirt." Ok, next round, let's see....

Was just thinking about "Christmas Snow" last week. Her father named her "Christmas" because she was born on December 25th. He used to say that it was a good thing she wasn't born on Father's Day, because then he would have ended up introducing her to people by saying "Meet my daughter, Father." So, this has to be SUZANNE SOMERS. Sheriff Hildy Grainger must be the eponymous sheriff in "She's the Sheriff."

"Same Old Song and Dance"????

Taking a guess here.... "Dream On"?????

(Sees his photo.) I recognize him from one movie. This should be interesting. Death Race David Carradine Kill Bill Volume 2 (or Volume 1) (Ian McShane played "Coach" for Frankenstein's pit crew. David Carradine appeared at the beginning of the movie as the voice of "Frankenstein" (appropriate if you've seen the previous movie.) And, of course, he also played Bill in "Kill Bill", both volumes. I'm leaving that flexible for the next player.

Wait... wasn't that "Blythe Danner" that played John Adams' wife in "1776"???

It's not Arnold in a sequel. It's Arnold in a stand-alone called "THE RUNNING MAN." It's an action movie that shouldn't be taken seriously. I like it. And George's friend is in it.

If it hadn't, I would have been reduced to posting clues like "the title characters were brothers who had a rhythm-and-blues band."

https://www.greasespotcafe.com/ipb/topic/20688-bg-leonard/#comment-643346 Did you really Google BG Leonard's name, come up blank for CTC of Texas (his ministry), then show up here, and cross-post the same question four times in a row on 4 different threads, including one you started just to ask the question? (BTW, that one thread would have been sufficient to get an answer.) The cross-posting like that is considered spamming/rude. Now you have the name of the group, and now you have a link to their website.

vpw always inflated the importance of any public figure- in order to claim twi was significant because it contained vip's. So, ONE NFL player and vpw went crazy. One COACH for tennis and even lcm dropped her name. So, small wonder vpw wanted in when someone ostensibly IN twi was running for public office. No, it did not go well for or with H@yes G@h@g@n of Maine. https://www.greasespotcafe.com/ipb/topic/22444-hayes-gahagan/#comment-527243

Actually, Allan, yours was the most "political" of posts on this thread so far. It's a discussion of how politics was used in twi. Nobody has had to post any politics, just what happened in twi, and how vpw pushed certain agendas. Other than a single sentence in the first thread, this thread has been " about" politics without containing politics. (BTW, chockfull, my experience has been the opposite of Allan's, which is not terribly surprising because we don't live in the same country. Around here, a more-than-two-parties system increases the chance the public's actually represented, and fringe groups don't hijack a major party.)

BTW, when I put his name in quotes in the search bar of DuckDuckGo, his ministry came up in the first page of results.
