  1. One of the great things about life post-twi is the options to look at different points of view, consider them in a healthy fashion, and form an opinion rather than have one handed to you. There's a number of thoughts on different positions with this, and many of them, IMHO, take cheap shots at opposing points of view. I'm not going to pronounce the absolute truth on the matter, but I feel free to outline the major positions and why they're held. However, I'm going to do that in a Doctrinal thread, and link the thread to here. I think this is a good enough subject to warrant its own thread that belongs in Doctrinal rather than a passing question that would sit in "About the Way." Although the Way- and what it teaches/taught is relevant to the discussion, I think the discussion is bigger than they are.
  2. "We do not train to be merciful here. Mercy is for the weak. Here, in the streets, in competition. A man confronts you, he is the enemy. An enemy deserves no mercy what is the problem, Mr. Lawrence?"
  3. ".....thank God.... I mean, 'Get him'!" Superman II, with the Kryptonian escaped prisoners walking THROUGH walls and doors rather than just OPENING them at the Daily Planet newspaper.
  4. A) The title is correct, and that's all this thread needs. B) Most people remember PAT BENATAR for singing it, but it HAS been covered by Joan Jett (and Kelly Clarkson.) So, your turn either way.
  5. My post seems to have been eaten by cyberspace! I had posted the artist with the song, "Jefferson Airplane" with "WHITE RABBIT." https://www.cluedupp.com/pages/events-schedule When I went to play the "Alice in Wonderland" game, I found myself humming "White Rabbit" part of the time. The other part of the time, I was humming "Don't Come Around Here No More." (If you want to know why, watch the video, then you'll see.) (Now, let's see if it saves this time, now that I mentioned the other game.)
  6. Not everybody would remember "BACK TO THE FUTURE" from this line, but I would.
  7. "Well you're the real tough cookie with the long history, of breaking little hearts like the one in me."
  8. "Ever since I was a young boy, I've played the silver ball."[/b]
  9. Street Fighter Jean Claude Van Damme The Expendables 2
  10. I was not privy to the exact discussion. (I might have been laughing too hard to help if I HAD been in the room when that was discussed.) Paw did agree to post their response. I'll see about finding a link when I'm up to it.
  11. SIMILAR riff, but not identical. I could easily tell them apart by those riffs. A lot of songs sound a lot like another song, or like another artist's style, but aren't identical. The band "Texas" did a song that had a moment that sounded like they were going to segue into Marvin Gaye's "Sexual Healing." Another band did a song, and, when it aired, both me and the DJ said "That's Billy Idol's "Flesh for Fantasy" being ripped off". That one might have been intentional.
  12. Whenever vpw visited a place, they assigned people to buy his creature comforts out of pocket (like bottles of Drambuie as one poster reported- their first experience buying alcohol.) On top of everything else, they took up collections of nice, untraceable cash which was handed over to vpw in a bag. I'm sure he was happy not to report that to the IRS. He also made no secret that he could-and did- go to the twi treasurer whenever he felt like he needed some cash, and got it. ALSO, a LOT of things owned by twi were reserved for his SOLE use, and he called them "MY STUFF." If there is a "special hell" for child molesters and people who talk in the theater, I hope vpw gets imprisoned in its worst part.
  13. Someone reported that vpw smashed it up, and it was repaired all hush-hush. There was a different story about vpw planning on motorcycle riding throughout the USA. I think he made a few stops, to lots of fanfare and fuss, and then it was quietly dropped. IIRC, LIfe Magazine covered twi, and Time Magazine covered vpw a year later. The Life Magazine article was called "the Groovy Christians of Rye." It was about the WOWs posted to Rye, NY. I think the locals wanted to make them sound like nuts, but the article made them sound more together than the locals who criticized them. A year later, Time covered some religious leaders, and vpw sounded like a nut. There was a photo of vpw with a motorcycle there. I JUST started wondering if that was related in any way. I doubt it, since the article was around 1971 (give or take a year).
  14. Right. That second list was the actors for the eponymous characters. Michael York played D'artagnan, who, as we all should know, was not one of the THREE Musketeers. He was a hot-blooded young Gascon (a stereotype and redundant) seeking to JOIN The Musketeers.
  15. Correct. The previous song was The Who's "5:15", which I thought was much better known.
  16. Cynthia Nixon Addams Family Values Raul Julia
  17. So I can say I asked... "Field of Dreams"?????
  18. Charleton Heston Faye Dunaway Christopher Lee Roy Kinnear Spike Milligan Raquel Welch Oliver Reed Richard Chamberlain Frank Finlay
  19. That's obviously "The Tonight Show starring Johnny Carson" - wait, we're doing movies? Then it's not that.....
