I know chockfull keeps insisting that 2 posters comments make up some sort of "proof", at least to his satisfaction. (BTW, chockfull, I'd like to think you're right, but I haven't seen a decent case for it, and the case for the other side seems pretty strong.) Which 2 posters does this refer to? IIRC, one was Socks. Does anyone have a link to the posts where their stories took place? I'd like to go over them myself and see if I'd find their accounts constituting "proof" or not.

Freddy Krueger kills the director of his movie, the actor who plays him, and other members of the cast, then he himself goes on to kill teenagers in their dreams while they sleep.

Since he said Sam Jackson, it's obviously not the British agents of 1961 or 1998. Sam Jackson's playing "Nick Fury" in the Marvel adaptation movies. So, Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, Hulk... those Avengers, 2012.

A murderer kills teens in their dreams- then breaks the fourth wall and kills the actor playing him, the director of his movie, and others who worked on it.

12 Angry Men in Black And I was hoping to answer the previous one about "A Time to Kill a Mockingbird." BTW, nice one.

Correct! The original, with the Rat Pack, and Sinatra as Danny Ocean, IIRC. Got it just before I posted a quote about there being 11 of them. And Sammy Davis Jr's comment about knowing how his skin color would come in handy someday while sitting next to someone blacking his face.

"Why waste those cute little tricks that the Army taught us just because it's sort-of peaceful now?" "Hello. This is a recording. You've dialed the right number, now hang up and don't do it again. " "I'm so drunk, I don't think I could lie down without holding on!" " I can't do it. I've got my wife to think of." "Think of her rich." "Think of me dead." "You'll miss my wedding!" "Mother, I have never missed one of your weddings. "Yes, you did. My first one." "Going down." "Going down." "Where they serve the drinks." "To the bar." "Oh, Danny. What a prize you are. The only husband in the world who'd proposition his own wife." " If it's so fool-proof, why hasn't somebody done it yet?" "Same reason nobody's gone to the moon yet - no equipment." "And we're equipped."

Close enough- "Ïndependence Day the Earth Stood Still."

I see them, but the Reading Room is for links, not discussion. The other 2 address specific sections and I don't want to pull them all over the NT (and OT). I won't mind pasting from them into another thread, however.

I kept not having time to post, so I THOUGHT I'd joined pages ago. ============================= A science fiction flick. An alien and android come to tell the Earth to clean up its act so it won't be considered a threat to other planets. But the warning comes too late- OTHER aliens attack that summer! Major cities are hit, but the survivors will fight back. The alien will help-he's been living as a human when this began. (This got tough because I'm trying to include 2 versions of 1 movie in with a different movie, to cover more ground. That meant some details have to be a bit vague.)

I like the whole process of working through this and trying to come to conclusions. As time permits (for me certainly and for others I'd expect), I'd like to go a step further in the Doctrinal forum. I'd like to go over the verses overtly discussing speaking in tongues, and I'd like to go over the verses that are claimed to be discussing speaking in tongues. I think we can do slowly, deliberately, and cautiously. I think we can do a respectful job and get down to some specifics, clearing out some things we THOUGHT the verses said, and getting clear on what the verses DO say. I don't know what the results will be, but I for one am overdue for such a journey, and I think at least one of you might want to come along for the process as well as the results. (Getting there can be the most fun part of these things.)

I think he's making like we had a drinking game going, as in "For every link through Abe Vigoda, take one drink." Vigoda had speaking roles in both movies, so I doubt he was questioning me. He would have buzzed me and been specific.

I know someone else who's going to be disappointed they didn't log in before me. They're a fan of both. This is "the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Quest." BTW, the BBC TV version of books 1 & 2 was MUCH better than the big screen version of 1, and was done on a short budget. The only thing the new one had on it was Alan Rickman's voice for Marvin.

Hm. Good question. I think I would have gone for it, and I think some other people would have, sooner or later. Having been trained to fake it, it's tough to say with any surety I ever did it for real, and at least SIT would be tough to really say it with evidence and confidence. I think the case would have to go for "prophecy" or "interpretation."

That first quote is the opening lines from "the Cannonball Run", said over the police-band between Dispatch and a car in pursuit.

I'm not sure where it fits in. On the one hand, I can freely say that I never MEANT to fake it in twi, but I did because the people around me did. On the other hand, I'm convinced that at least SOME of the messages that came via "prophecy" or whatever were legit- largely ones that were radically different from the stock "messages" we got every week. At least once I was planning for one thing, got the opposite, and was visibly puzzled as to what happened. (It made sense a few minutes later, but at the time I was genuinely surprised.)

Hey- we're family. You wouldn't think that was a sentimental comment if you'd met my family. ;)

Before going off on a 12-session class for 200/100/85/50/40 dollars or something, try the most obvious meaning of the passage. It has always read the same to me regardless of version. Even in the KJV I read it the same way. 1 Corinthians 8:4-6 New International Version (NIV) 4 So then, about eating food sacrificed to idols: We know that “An idol is nothing at all in the world” and that “There is no God but one.” 5 For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as indeed there are many “gods” and many “lords”), 6 yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live; and there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we live. 1 Corinthians 8:4-6 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 4 Therefore concerning the eating of things sacrificed to idols, we know that there is no such thing as an idol in the world, and that there is no God but one. 5 For even if there are so-called gods whether in heaven or on earth, as indeed there are many gods and many lords, 6 yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom are all things and we exist for Him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we exist through Him. 1 Corinthians 8:4-6 Contemporary English Version (CEV) 4 Even though food is offered to idols, we know that none of the idols in this world are alive. After all, there is only one God. 5 Many things in heaven and on earth are called gods and lords, but none of them really are gods or lords. 6 We have only one God, and he is the Father. He created everything, and we live for him. Jesus Christ is our only Lord. Everything was made by him, and by him life was given to us. 1 Corinthians 8:4-6 King James Version (KJV) 4 As concerning therefore the eating of those things that are offered in sacrifice unto idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is none other God but one. 5 For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,) 6 But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him. Some people make an idol or a "god" of their job, or their patriotism, or their family, or their political affiliation, or any of hundreds of other things. Those things they make more important and schedule their lives around, those are often their "lords". There's "gods" and "lords" of every type. Ever see someone live for fantasy football or for sex? You know what their "god" or their "lord" is. Many gods? Yes- money, power, sex, fame, drugs.... Many supernatural beings existing and desiring worship? Not what this is saying at all. Back in high school, one guy I knew said that, if vampires were driven off by objects of worship, most people would have to hold up a dollar bill to ward one off. (And he was an atheist-he didn't think there was anything supernatural about a dollar bill.) Be careful. When the possibilities are "the obvious meaning" and "an occulted, hidden, secret, special meaning", go with the obvious meaning. Do not order 2 dozen ritual robes. Do not make a new class. Do not make a new organization.

PotC:Curse of the Black Pearl Johnny Depp Sleepy Hollow Hm. Johnny Depp wasn't in Tim Burton's Batman film. I bet he was working on something else at the time.

A "Monroe" and a comic strip artist/writer/stripper says "Too Close To Comfort" for me, but the decade is wrong.

OldSkool beat me to it. Time constraints have partly limited my discussion in this thread. If it didn't, however, I would find myself reluctant to be on the same side as you for conduct reasons if nothing else. If I didn't know better, I'd say it wasn't the same Raf on this thread that I've known- he was a nice guy and the one on this thread's been more concerned with scoring points than remembering that everyone who's discussing this with him is deserving of equal respect. I don't know if it's this subject that has you feeling so riled (i.e. crusading against all opposing POVs) or if something horrible happened offline and you're venting it on this subject. However, I wouldn't be proud of having posted with the level of "bite" you've been exhibiting on this thread.
