Welcome. Besides a variety of flavors of non-Christian, we have Christians of a pretty wide variety who post here from time to time. You'll find your beliefs are probably already represented here. Then again, that really doesn't matter. Posting here with manners and kindness count for a lot more around here than one's creed, convictions or beliefs.

"What's he going to do? Turn around and take me home? Ruin everyone's vacation?" "First, I have a little present for everyone." "We had a wonderful time. Until I killed him." "All that is ours is yours."

For the curious, here's where the lines came from... "Meet me at Omar's. Be ready for me. I'm going after that truck." "How?" "I don't know, I'm making this up as I go." Indy jumping on the horse. His line about "making this up as I go" was, I thought, fairly famous. "You can't do this to me, I'm an AMERICAN." Marion, getting captured. "Bad dates." "They're digging in the wrong place." Both are from the scene where Indy and Sallah study the original Headpiece to the Staff of Ra. One Nazi had accidentally "copied" the writing on the front- which was affected by the writing on the back, which they didn't have. So, despite using the map room, they got the wrong location, and Sallah and Indy said it together: "They're digging in the wrong place." Sallah turns around and begins to walk away, singing happily. ("I am the monarch of the sea...") Indy grabs a date from the bowl, and throws it in the air to catch in his mouth. Suddenly, Sallah grabs it out of the air- and points to the dead, poisoned monkey. "Bad dates." "Very dangerous. You go first." I was about to post another line I thought was memorable, but Flow7 got it.

It is indeed! Your turn to post a movie.

"What's he going to do? Turn around and take me home? Ruin everyone's vacation?" "First, I have a little present for everyone."

"You've been given a great gift, George: A chance to see what the world would be like without you."

"Meet me at Omar's. Be ready for me. I'm going after that truck." "How?" "I don't know, I'm making this up as I go." "You can't do this to me, I'm an AMERICAN." "Bad dates." "They're digging in the wrong place." "Very dangerous. You go first."

"Meet me at Omar's. Be ready for me. I'm going after that truck." "How?" "I don't know, I'm making this up as I go."

"Miracle on 34th Street." Different theme on this thread, I see.

I vaguely recall an episode where someone had a piece of jewelry where it shapechanged, the first hint Odo supposedly had of his own species. The rest of it's not coming to me.

I recognize the "Vienna Boys Choir" comment. This is "Once Bitten." IIRC, this was before Jim Carrey was "discovered." It's one of a few movies I've seen where it's a better movie if you miss the first 5 minutes and jump in starting the SECOND scene. I also didn't recognize CLEAVON LITTLE. There's an actor who doesn't get around very often. Was that Lauren Hutton as the vampire?

Seems like some of us might want to look into things, instead of just jumping to the conclusion that they have all THEIR facts straight, but the GSC'ers do NOT...

"the Way:Living in Love." pg-210 ""Do you know that three times in those early years people tried to kill me?" he remarks suddenly, facing me squarely. I wait, hoping for details, but Doctor relaxes his shoulders in a barely noticeable gesture, and then launches into a new theme. "

The whole concept of vpw as the MOGFOT- or there BEING one at all- was an oral tradition. He was never fool enough to put it in writing.

BTW, citizens from the rest of North and South America would appreciate it if we stopped calling ourselves "America", as if we were the only country in this hemisphere....

Is this the DS9 episode where the other changeling arrives on the station, and Odo has to deal with it?

Just from my thinking, in my opinion, vpw was an inferior, lazy researcher who cut corners whenever and wherever he could, and goofed off whenever and wherever he could. Thus, I don't think he relied on a text or system that was in existence- he would have had to FIND it first, and that would have taken WORK. Even to STUMBLE ACROSS something useful takes working on something else and finding it by accident, which, again, brings us back to doing WORK. Since vpw went to the House of Acts and Haight-Ashbury LOOKING for justifications and excuses to claim that God permitted ORGIES and the like, I conclude vpw hadn't FOUND a sufficient pretext to claim that. (He didn't find one THERE, either.) I think vpw cobbled together what he wanted after being unable to find what he wanted prefabricated. Those who want to follow up on this a little might want to look up a few terms.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catharism http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manichaeism http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gnosticism http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gnosticism#The_main_features_of_gnosticism

That's how it went. The "example" given was the father of the possessed kid,

I don't have time to address this properly yet. When I do, I'll go into how vpw said that his expression was equivalent to the phrase in the Old Testament, "sons of Belial" or "son of Belial." "Sons of Belial" occurs in Judges 19:22, I Samuel 2:12, II Samuel 23:6, I Kings 21:10. "Son of Belial" occurs in I Samuel 25:17. "Daughter of Belial" occurs in I Samuel 1:16.

In case there's any doubt, yes, that was "the Big Bang Theory."

It's always interesting to watch the double standard of people who want us silenced. "I don't feel bad that twi ruined lives. I was treated nicely in twi. If vpw went around and drugged and raped women, I don't see why I should have any emotional response to that at all. After all, I got what I wanted, why should I care if anyone else's life was ruined?" So, to them, it's perfectly FINE to ruin lives. But TALK ABOUT someone ruining lives, oh, and you've committed The Cardinal Sin. Do ANYTHING but TALK ABOUT someone ruining lives, that's a lot worse than actually RUINING THE LIVES. Or is it just that vpw gets a special pass and can ruin lives and do whatever he wants, but even bringing it up prompts a hypocritical double-standard that finally triggers outrage? BTW, if you hear that your sisters in Christ, for whom Christ died, were assaulted, raped, drugged, molested, or otherwise victimized, and their assailant used the cloak of religion (like twi) to justify himself, and your response is APATHY, Then SHAME ON YOU. SHAME ON YOU, and shame on the family that failed to teach you proper values as you grew up. Jesus was outraged at the exploitation of MONEY in the name of God. What do you think his response will be when he judges these rapists/molesters/evil-doers?

That's right- it wasn't just that everything had deep spiritual significance... vpw started it all by claiming he was the greatest Christian since the Apostle Paul, and then acted as if the amassed forces of evil for the planet would be focusing all their efforts to frustrate or stop him. That's why he had people stand when he entered a room, had musicians play "Hail to the Chief" when he entered a room (like the US President), thought reporters should have treated him as some sort of head of state of a country, made up a seal to stand behind as if he was the US President, and had a plane for his use like the US President, even calling it a name similar to the President's "Air Force One" ("Ambassador One".) The idea he might be in danger of assassination was entirely his own, and he had bodyguards who, in some cases, literally expected that people WERE trying to kill him. With all that. it's almost a footnote that vpw was always blaming everything he didn't like- traffic jams, static cling, whatever- as movements of the devil.

"Soft kitty, warm kitty, little ball of fur. Happy kitty, sleepy kitty, purr, purr, purr." "You know, you two make a cute couple." "Oh no, we're not...a couple. We're singles...like...those individually wrapped pieces of cheese that are next to each other...but...stay separate...like...just friends." "Did I touch a nerve there?" "Oh yeah." "Look, you are a great guy, and it is the things you love that make you who you are." "I guess that makes me large breasts."

Ok, I'll try again. Hopefully, nobody will decide to break the few rules we have again, and we can just play right. "Soft kitty, warm kitty, little ball of fur. Happy kitty, sleepy kitty, purr, purr, purr."

Amazing how many people show up here, spend a lot of time in the "About the Way" forum to the exclusion of the other forums, then have the nerve to be surprised the discussions are "ABOUT THE WAY". In this PARTICULAR case, the poster's been around and has posted extensively in the Political forum. That means he's either CLUELESS about there being other forums-even when he's POSTED IN THEM- or he's DELIBERATELY LYING in an attempt to get people to NOT check things out for themselves. Me, I like to play the games, but some people prefer to "dwell on negatives" while complaining about "those who dwell on negatives."
