Yes, I made the mistake of stopping midway through your first post, sending mine, then realizing that you'd already addressed my question. Thank you though. In the interest of making sure it doesn't become an "atheist" thread, I'm going to leave it here unless another moderator reads and thinks I've misjudged. I trust that all views are welcome for discussion, though.

Correct

My thoughts, generally: When an represents what happens when someone approaches scripture with an open mind. it is REALLY hard to argue with his logic. Not impossible. Just hard.

"Because of the obvious threat to untold numbers of citizens due to the crisis that is even now developing, this radio station will remain on the air day and night. This station and hundreds of other radio and TV stations throughout this part of the country are pooling their resources through an emergency network hook-up to keep you informed of all developments. At this hour, we repeat, these are the facts as we know them. There is an epidemic of mass murder being committed by a virtual army of unidentified assassins. The murders are taking place in villages and cities, in rural homes and suburbs with no apparent pattern nor reason for the slayings. It seems to be a sudden general explosion of mass homicide. We have some descriptions of the assassins. Eyewitnesses say they are ordinary-looking people. Some say they appear to be in a kind of trance. Others describe them as being misshapen monsters. At this point, there's no really authentic way for us to say who or what to look for and guard yourself against. Reaction of law enforcement officials is one of complete bewilderment at this hour. Police and sheriff's deputies and emergency ambulances are literally deluged with calls for help. The scene can be best described as mayhem."

This is Cloverfield

Before I get invested in this thread, is this a "Christians only" perspective you're seeking, or can I feel free to explore from my non-Christian perspective? If the latter, would you prefer the thread stay here or move to Questioning Faith? I promise not to interfere if uninvited. :) [I finished reading the opening post AFTER I posted this comment. I'll consider placement and decide tomorrow. Clearly there's no rush].

12 Angry Men = 24 examples of juror misconduct. The Untouchables: Not even in 1930s Chicago can a judge remove a jury from one trial and replace it with a jury from another trial. Not even in 1930s Chicago can a defense lawyer decide, without consulting his client, to withdraw a not guilty plea and enter a plea of guilty. Holy crap! My Cousin Vinny: Ok, I got nothing on My Cousin Vinny. Law schools use it to teach, for f-s sake, who am I to critique it?

Don't even get me started on courtroom movies. :)

I don't typically watch journalism movies because they get so much wrong. But Shattered Glass is an exception because it's focused and doesn't pretend to be more than it is. It's not The Fate of The World or lives at stake or anything. It's about what journalism IS, what it's supposed to be, and how vulnerable it is to corruption. It's also over before you know it.

A movie I can watch over and over again without feeling like any time has passed: Shattered Glass. It's about a journalist who makes up his stories, and how he gets busted. It's a true story.

Gifted will have to go on my "one show too many" list, I'm afraid.

Game of Thrones and Inhumans appears to have a villain in common. Maximus is Ramsay Bolton. Also, how is there no Game of Thrones thread?

I'm caught up on everything but Gotham (loved Season 3) and Inhumans. How is Inhumans? I haven't even begun to begin.

He was hinted at once before, but it was MUCH more subtle.

Oh, and in case it's not obvious, I'm bowing out of all game threads until further notice. If anything by any chance is still waiting for me, by all means kickstart the thing if you wish.

Still catching up on Gotham Season 3 Caught up on Flash and Supergirl. Nice starts on both. Catching up on Arrow and Legends. Nice start on Arrow. Have not even begun to Inhuman.

I've read some and have plenty of thoughts. Where would you like to discuss them? I recommend Doctrinal or Questioning Faith, depending on the nature of the discussion you would like to have.

It's very poetic.

As long as I had cell service, I could post. I also had a backup battery and could charge my phone in my car. Once I lost cell service, I got reeeeal quiet. And once everything came back on, GSC was not a priority. So I'm fine. My mango tree isn't. My kids' trampoline isn't. But I'm fine.

Thanks.

I have to ask... Emphasis mine... Why? What was so terrible about it?

Good for us apparently means hurricane force gusts and power loss. Yippee! Our local area gets its worst for the next 12 hours. Getting power back is our top desire. Not need. Desire.

Latest projections are increasingly good for us, increasingly bad for Tampa and the rest of the west coast of Florida.

I'm on the southeast coast, far enough inland that I'm not under an evacuation order and not expecting floods.

And now it looks even more like a West coast Florida threat, though the east coast will get battered as well. Just not as bad. Then again, a little jog to the east and WHAM!
