Where the heck are the younger players? They should have gotten it by now...

No.

On behalf of those who helped you, I'd like to say: It was our pleasure. On behalf of those who didn't help you, I'd like to say: I hope you've enjoyed the journey. Feel free to be social here and have a good time. Also feel free to leave whenever you want, or leave and return whenever and as often as you want. You're free now.

"Wow, look at all these people playing right now!" "Yeah, it's bull crap. I bet half of these people are Koreans!" "Whoever this person is, he's played World of Warcraft nearly every hour of every day for the past two years. Gentlemen, we are dealing with someone here who has absolutely no life." "How do you kill that which has no life?" "We can't give the Sword of a Thousand Truths to a newb!" "If you had a chance right now to go back in time and stop Hitler, would you do it? I mean, I personally wouldn't stop him because I think he was awesome, but YOU would, right?" "I'm just going to stop playing." "When Hitler rose to power, there were a lot of people who just stopped playing. You know who those people were? The French. Are you French, Clyde?" "No." "Voulez-vous coucher avec moi, Clyde?" "Okay, all right, I'll do it!" "Congratulations! You played Guitar Hero enough to score one million points!" "Dolphins and whales were framed by the real bombers. A chicken and a cow." "Chicken and Cow? CHICKEN AND COW?!" "CHICKEN AND COW USED POOR DOLPHIN AND WHALE AS A SCAPEGOAT?! THIS IS OUTRAGE!" "Hi, Billy Mays here for the little Country Handy Pillow. Are you tired of sitting in limbo? Lost somewhere between planes of existence? Well now there's a product that can help you--" "'....I love you all, but I have to move on. I'm going to Somalia to be--to be a pirate'? Oh, sh*!" "Who is Mysterion?" "Who is The Coon?" "I'm not doing it. Being in a dance group is totally conformist." "Yeah, I'm not conforming to some dance-off regulations. "I'm not doing it either. I'm the biggest non-conformist of all. "I'm such a non-conformist that I'm not going to conform with the rest of you. Okay, I'll do it. "Great!" ".....Whoa. I think we just got put in our place. "Yeah, we just got goth-served." "The Disney purity ring venture will most likely now prove a marketing bust, as Mickey returns to Valhalla to slumber and feed." "....Bugs Bunny and Superman and Harry Potter. They've changed my life, changed the way I act on the earth. Doesn't that make them kind of real? They might be imaginary, but they're more important than most of us here. And they're all gonna be around till long after we're dead. So in a way, those things are more realer than any of us." "I'm supposed to be in school right now, but instead I have Snarf, Popeye, and Luke Skywalker all ....ed off." "It's like a half-man, half-bear!" "And half-pig!" "I'm pretty sure killing Jesus is not very Christian." "The Hare Club for Men." "That kid's got as much hope as Steve Irwin in a tank full of stingrays." "This is too big a mystery for me, I think we better call in the Hardly Boys!" "Oh no, not the God d*--" "The Hardly Boys: two young whippersnappers with a taste for solving mysteries. The Hardly Boys in: The Case of the World Trade Center Conspiracy." "What the hell is this?! Skinless chicken, boiled vegetables and salad?! This is just like Auschwitz!" "Because they're people and you're a towel." "YOU'RE a towel!" "No, I'm a big book publisher whos not the least bit interested in your stony memoirs, you're a towel." "I'll sue you! I'll sue you in England!"

AFAIK, vpw ripped this part off of EW Kenyon. Basically, if you used initials, vpw would rip you off. JE Stiles, BG Leonard, EW Kenyon, EW Bullinger.... Those of you who sat through pfal may remember him mentioning the idea that people would thing what he was teaching was "just v.p. talking." Apparently, he tried to swipe the initials format, but it didn't work for him, so he dropped it early. He also dropped early the "w" hand signal, which supposedly just would have stood for the WOW program. (Don't remember it? There's a photo-with explanation- in twi's book "the way:living in love.")

Hey, if you want to keep your life private, that's fine. I've been here for years, and I keep my personal life private. I just don't like putting the details in cyberspace. So, anyone trying to spy on me online will only find out but so much. Not that I think I'm worth spying on in the first place, but there's a few sick people out there, and at least one HAS thought that, so... No, they weren't ex-twi. Twi never did have an exclusive right to anything that matters. They didn't even have an exclusive right to religious frauds or crazy people.

Of course, there's peers and there's peers...

Human, the rest of us need another clue. (Generally, about 1 every 24 hours is neither too fast nor too slow.)

Don't recognize the quote, but I know "Lord of War" mentioned AK-47s. Is this it?

BINGO. So it's HwtB's turn.

This is a pretty good recap on how things seem to be going so far. ========================================== *puts the chair down* Ok, Robert E., you're sounding a lot more logical to me now then you did a night ago. I hope the second impressions the correct one (or at least closer) and the first impression was a fluke.

You know, I'd almost forgotten what it was like to deal with the blanket "I know more than you, I have all the answers, you know nothing" stuff endemic to twi. It's been so long since I've lived in the real world where people are allowed to not have all the answers, or to know some things but not others. Of course, the idea that we actually looked at the evidence and made informed decisions isn't even allowed to be CONSIDERED. A) Even the Aramaic-Primacy people on this thread admit-in this very thread- that there's no evidence for Aramaic texts of, say, the Epistles in the first 2 centuries AD. B) There's increasing amounts of evidence of Greek texts in the first 2 centuries AD. That includes in the places where, supposedly, the early Christians were Aramaic only- but mysteriously, their Aramaic texts are missing, and their Greek texts-which would have been useless to them, supposedly- have survived. Granted, that's not necessarily the "smoking gun" of documentation. However, it's a HECK of a case for Greek primacy of the Church Epistles. The existence of Greek texts in the earliest centuries (for the NT) has been PROVEN. The existence of Aramaic texts in the earliest centuries (for the NT) has been SPECULATED. Embracing the SPECULATED and discarding the PROVEN is not responsible scholarship. Turning around and accusing those who embrace the proven over the speculated of being "judgmental" is not only notably "judgmental", but it's also remarkably HYPOCRITICAL! Accusing them of not "grasping" the issues is not only unproven, it's INFLAMMATORY. Accusing them of being "short-sighted" because they looked at all the unearthed evidence is not only an ERROR, it's DEMEANING. That's forgivable if it's true, even if rude. When it's ERROR, like now, it's just an attempt to fog the actual issues and evidence. And to "allude" to all sorts of analogies that have nothing to do with the discussion while refusing to discuss the actual archeological evidence is little more than ANOTHER attempt to fog the actual issues and evidence. When one side of a discussion has to descend to 1) "I'm an expert and you dare not question me" and 2) "Those who disagree with me are unable to grasp the issues" while ducking the evidence, that's the side desperately trying to hide the fact that the evidence supports THE OPPOSITE SIDE. They'd rather be deceptive, live in denial, and forever BE wrong so long as they and other people can THINK they're right. For those who wonder why I bothered to analyze this and form a judgment, well, THEY were the ones who were making the comparison...

Ok, next TV show. "Wow, look at all these people playing right now!" "Yeah, it's bull crap. I bet half of these people are Koreans!" "Whoever this person is, he's played World of Warcraft nearly every hour of every day for the past two years. Gentlemen, we are dealing with someone here who has absolutely no life." "How do you kill that which has no life?" "Congratulations! You played Guitar Hero enough to score one million points!" "Who is Mysterion?" "I'm not doing it. Being in a dance group is totally conformist." "Yeah, I'm not conforming to some dance-off regulations. "I'm not doing it either. I'm the biggest non-conformist of all. "I'm such a non-conformist that I'm not going to conform with the rest of you. Okay, I'll do it. "Great!" ".....Whoa. I think we just got put in our place. "Yeah, we just got goth served."

"Now, whatever you think you know about this man is irrelevant. He is considered by many authorities to be the most dangerous man alive. My colleagues believe that I'm wasting my time with you, but I believe you wish to do the right thing. We're willing to wipe the slate clean, give you a fresh start. All that we're asking in return is your cooperation in bringing a known terrorist to justice." "Stop TRYING to hit me and HIT me!" "There's a difference between KNOWING the path, and WALKING the path." "So, what do you need, besides a miracle?" "Guns. Lots of guns." "No one has ever done anything like this." "That's why it's going to work." ""Why isn't this serum working?" "Perhaps we're asking the wrong questions."

If you need them from George, you're in trouble. It's my turn and he doesn't recognize the movie yet. Give me a few hours, I'll have another 2-3 quotes up. Apparently, nobody's checking in who's a real fanatic about this movie. Last time it was posted, someone jumped on it in one quote. (No, that's not a clue, just me musing aloud.)

It should. You've seen this movie. (I'd be truly shocked if you have not.) No, I'm not making it easy yet, but I think some of you might get it with harder clues.

Isn't it always interesting how much of the "literal translations according to usage" often match, word for word, with the same verse in the Amplified Bible? That always fascinates me. One might think that these "results" of vpw's "research" were plagiarized directly from the Amplified Bible....

I Corinthians 8:1b (KJV) "Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth." I Corinthians 8:1b (NIV) "Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up." I Corinthians 8:1b (NASB) "Knowledge makes arrogant, but love edifies." I Corinthians 8:1b (AMP) "[Yet mere] knowledge causes people to be puffed up (to bear themselves loftily and be proud), but love (affection and goodwill and benevolence) edifies and builds up and encourages one to grow [to his full stature]."

In case you don't know, the rule is... If it's your turn and you're posting clues, you SHOULD look things up so you're accurate. If you're trying to guess. you SHOULDN'T LOOK things up because that's cheating. If you DO look while guessing, you've forfeited your chance to guess. (But if not knowing was driving you nuts, it's always an option.)

"Now, whatever you think you know about this man is irrelevant. He is considered by many authorities to be the most dangerous man alive. My colleagues believe that I'm wasting my time with you, but I believe you wish to do the right thing. We're willing to wipe the slate clean, give you a fresh start. All that we're asking in return is your cooperation in bringing a known terrorist to justice." "Stop TRYING to hit me and HIT me!"

Is this "Supernatural"?

No.
