No, and I'm glad this wasn't too easy....

Possibly. I suspect a possible connection between the current twi prez and Witchie-Poo from that show, however.

Got it in one! Some trivia: Thomas "Dolby" got that as a nickname, from a walkman he used to wear with noise reduction on it, "DOLBY" in big letters, in college. He got permission from the Dolby company to use that as a professional name. He called in a favor and got MAGNUS PIKE to be in his video. In the UK, that's like us having CARL SAGAN in a video. Magnus Pike underestimated how popular this new medium would be- the music video. He refused to wear a white coat since he's not a PhD. He later regretted his decision to grant the favor and appear in the video. That's because if he went to a US university and walked around campus, students would come up to him and yell "SCIENCE!" Ok, your turn, when you're done eating.

You left out EW KENYON and BG LEONARD. Sources: EW Bullinger- systematic study method, "How to Enjoy the Bible" was incorporated into episodes 5-8 of pfal, almost all of "Are the Dead Alive Now?" if not all, individual studies on Scripture, including all usages of the phrase "Holy Spirit." BG Leonard- systematic class on spiritual matters (began reteaching Leonard's class-the EXACT SAME CLASS- the same year he took Leonard's class, and labeled it his own class. (He asked Leonard to teach Leonard's class one time, but he did it the rest of his life, and told the students it was HIS OWN class.) EW Kenyon- the Word-Faith, "LAW of Believing" doctrine, early chapters of the Blue Book. JE Stiles- the Holy Spirit field, how to speak in tongues, the White Book (except for the parts plagiarized from Leonard and Bullinger.) KC Pillai- (very little by comparison to the others, who had large swathes of material stolen, or material became the most fundamental material in twi) Eastern customs, "Orientalisms", Eastern phrases. And their main reason for not complaining was them not finding out about vpw. Some were dead (Bullinger), and some never heard because twi was a very small player on a very big stage. Before the internet, twi was only on a few people's radars, mostly cult analysts (and even they got their details wrong, usually.) Leonard eventually found out, and added elaborate notes about how plagiarism is wrong to all his books. (In a few people's minds, that means Leonard either thought vpw's plagiarism was OK or that it was not the FELONY that it was. I can't correct delusion no matter how hard I try.)

I took a shot. Power without constructive purpose was a good description of either Q or Trelayne. I'm familiar with all Q's earlier episodes, and would have missed it if it was a Q episode of Voyager or Enterprise (if they had one.) If it was either, I would have waited for the next clue, because this would have been a 'miss.' So, I went with Trelayne, who only appeared in 1 episode. BTW, if you go by the books, Trelayne was am immature Q. Peter David managed to tie together Trelayne, the Q Continuum, Charlie X, and "Where No Man Has Gone Before" to make one coherent idea. As a fan, I was favorably impressed.

Let's see if this rings any bells. (No, that is not a clue.) "'Good heavens Miss Sakamoto - you're beautiful!'" "I don't believe it! There she goes again! She's tidied up and I can't find anything!"

Next show. "We've done the impossible, and that makes us mighty." "We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so VERY pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die." "Well, we may not have parted on the best of terms. I realize certain words were exchanged. Also, certain... bullets."

It was "Tim Burton", it was "the Nightmare Before Christmas." Please share the points between yourselves. As far as I'm concerned, whichever of you 2 logs in next can take the next turn.

"Jack, please, I'm only an elected official here, I can't make decisions by myself!" "I hope there's still time." "To fix Christmas? Of course there is! I'm Santa Claus!" "The King of Halloween has been blown to smithereens! Skeleton Jack is now a pile of dust!"

Is this Trelayne, the Squire of Gothos?

I'm not sure what Bullinger wrote on this, but it probably was what vpw taught on the subject. It has the same feel as other things Bullinger said that vpw later laid claim to. As they see it, Simon of Cyrene carried the wooden cross to Calvary/Golgotha. Jesus carried a "cross" that was METAPHORICAL- our burden of sins. Bullinger's key here is that the many clear verses set the stage, and any exceptions have to be understood in relation to the many clear. So, 3 Gospels say Simon carried the cross. 1 Gospel says otherwise. Therefore, begin with the 3 and then see how the 1 fits in to their account. Make of that what you will.

If you're convinced vpw was right all the time, then Bullinger is going to impress you a lot- vpw used a lot of Bullinger's stuff. IMHO, Bullinger was often great in separating tradition from Scripture (the word "purgatory" appears zero times in Scripture), but sometimes flubbed it in his pursuit of a better explanation. Example 1: Bullinger believed we were chosen before the "overthrow" of the world, not the "foundation" of the world, believing that the Greek word was a "casting down" in the sense of an overthrow and not in the sense of casting down a building's foundation. ("Katabole".) When he made his explanation, he actually noted the verse where this would be an impossible translation of "katabole", but promptly ignores it and pursues his explanation. Example 2: Bullinger came up with a beautiful explanation of the difference between "kingdom of heaven" and "kingdom of God", noting that if God meant the same thing, He would have used the same word each time. The problem was Bullinger was completely WRONG-the terms are used INTERCHANGEABLY to refer to exactly the same things, just in different Gospels. Great theory-but it failed to accurately predict the results. BTW, vpw followed him on it and taught they were 2 different things in pfal. If you want to know where vpw got "Are the Dead Alive Now?", it helps to know that book covers the same material as Bullinger did in "The Rich Man and Lazarus:an Intermediate State?" and "Saul and the Witch at Endor: did the dead rise at her bidding?" I find it interesting Bullinger titled both books with questions, and vpw's book which ripped them off is the only book he titled with a question. If one wants to know where pfal came from, the initial material was a clone of BG Leonard's "Gifts of the Spirit" class in every detail. vpw took that class twice, then 3 months later taught "his" first class on "Receiving the Holy Spirit Today." The Bible interpretation classes are all Bullinger stuff. The believing stuff was from EW Kenyon. The holy spirit material was partly Leonard, mostly JE Stiles' book "The Gift of the Holy Spirit", and partly Bullinger here and there. (Bullinger's book "Word Studies in the Holy Spirit" is the 385 verses mentioning holy spirit vpw claimed to work.) vpw DID rip off the "administrations" from Bullinger's "dispensations", but he numbered them differently. Both counted 9. 1. Original paradise (Garden of Eden) 2. Patriarch 3. Law (time of the Mosaic Law) Then comes the difference. vpw said 4. Christ administration, the 1 year JC was here personally & in charge.) Bullinger counted that as part of the Law. That makes sense to me-JC spoke as if the Law was in full effect, and said it would be fulfilled (future tense when he said it) so that's still the Law. The only reason I can see to change is to make the next one "5", and even Bullinger, who invented the Number in Scripture concept as we see it, didn't try to squeeze it like that. Bullinger counts the next one as 4, vpw counts it as 5. Grace. That's the one we're in now. The next one is 5 for Bullinger, 6 for vpw. Revealing. The Book of Revelation, the Apocalypse, the end-times, all that. Bullinger then counts the MILLENIAL REIGN OF CHRIST in Revelation 20, where Christ is here in person as King of Kings, as 6. vpw doesn't count it as anything other than part of the previous one. To vpw, one year of Christ is an "administration change" but 1000 years where he rules openly and completely- becoming the very meaning of "administration" doesn't count at all. vpw, as I see it, skipped over Revelation a lot. I think he was nervous of how much of it he didn't understand. Anyway, both counted the events from Revelation 21:1 on as the final one, 7. Please note I didn't use any of Bullinger's terms except "Millenial", since the concepts were comparable.

I recognize the line about knocking down the door, and the line about cases around the block. This is "Remington Steele." Laura Holt, detective, invented him so she would get work as a detective, then a stranger arrives and assumes the identity of Remington Steele. Stephanie Zimbalist and Pierce Brosnan, IIRC. First time I'd heard of either of them. Brosnan did a GREAT "James Bond" imitation as Steele, even if I only saw maybe 2-3 episodes of the show. It seemed interesting, I just never had the time to watch it.

Yes, the episode where the DS9 bunch visits Risa. Worf is willing to turn the ship around if Quark doesn't do what he says, Quark gives everyone-except Worf- a hohrgahn (or however it's spelled), and we find out how Kurzon Dax died. We also learn more about Worf's childhood. Personally, I thought this was an interesting episode, partly because of the idea that places like Risa were making the Federation an easier target by its enemies. Frankly, I think this could have been explored a bit further in another episode. Your turn!

"What's he going to do? Turn around and take me home? Ruin everyone's vacation?" "Coming about. Setting course for Deep Space Nine." "Okay, okay. You made your point. I'm going. But first, I have a little present for everyone. One for you, one for you, one for you...And none for you." "We had a wonderful time. Until I killed him." "Killed him?" "Death by jamaharon. I suppose there are worse ways to go." "Trust me. He died happy." "All that is ours is yours." "Aren't you uncomfortable in that uniform?" "Starfleet uniforms are designed for comfort in even the most extreme environments." ".....we encountered a protostar cluster. A swirling mass of color, set against a background of glowing clouds and burning sky. It was the most beautiful thing I ever saw... until now." "We're dedicated to restoring the moral and cultural traditions of the Federation."

"Jack, please, I'm only an elected official here, I can't make decisions by myself!" "I hope there's still time." "To fix Christmas? Of course there is! I'm Santa Claus!"

A....relative of mine????? ;)

That's from Madagas--- no, wait, he said it differently there. That's Charlton Heston's closing lines from the original "Planet of the Apes." (I don't know about the remake.)
