  1. Allan, I am very proud of you for speaking in tongues. I'm sure you are able to document this miraculous ability, identify the language, prove you had no previous exposure to or education in that language, and collect your million dollars, right? Right. I thought not.
  2. WW: I don't disagree with your critique of my post. I think I spoke for some people, while you probably spoke for most.
  3. The lead actor in this 1970s series won an Emmy as best actor in a drama for his work. A few years earlier, the same actor won an Emmy for best supporting actor in a comedy... for playing the same character!
  4. I just felt a need to reveal it and give folks an opportunity to question me. You guys have known me for years. It seemed right. That said, anyone not interested in discussing the topic is free to ignore it and me.

  6. God would have to be pretty stupid to allow such a thing to happen. I mean, if He knew that there are people who would believe, but kept them out of heaven because of a church's marketing strategy, that would be pretty darned evil. I see this as evidence that these people didn't really trust God (or have the slightest idea what they were talking about. Or both).
  7. Speaking in tongues was the worm at the end of the hook that was PFAL. It was bait. You promise "power" in the title of the class. You build up to the manifestation of that power. And then, when the time comes, you lead them into a totally phony display of so-called power that can't be verified, allegedly can't be refuted, etc. With everyone in the class performing the same totally non-spiritual action while imagining that everyone else around them is experiencing the real thing, there was an incredible amount of pressure on each person to refrain from spilling the beans. No one, myself included, had the courage to stand up and say, "BUT HE'S NAKED!!!" Even now, there are many of us who won't admit this is what happened. The preceding is my opinion. I apologize if anyone is insulted, but I truly believe that is precisely what happened. The only power at work in PFAL was the power of persuasion and groupthink.

  9. See, if that's the case, then the anachronisms are errors, but the notion that Moses wrote the first five books of the Bible is not a Biblical error. The implication, then, is that I can no longer think of it as an "error" that the last chapter of Deuteronomy describes Moses' death and burial, etc. That's only an error if the Bible claims Moses wrote the book. But that claim is not actually in the Bible. P.S.: Trust and Obey, considering that you probably disagree with where I'm coming from, I thank you for participating in this discussion so honestly.
  10. Joel Grey Cabaret Michael York (Go ahead and run imdb on him. I won't tell.
  11. Linda Blair Repossessed Leslie Nielsen
  12. Valerie Perrine Superman II Terrence Stamp
  13. Just two this time: The wife of a university research scientist believes that her lakeside Vermont home is haunted by a ghost - or that she's losing her mind. Her investigation leads her to the whereabouts of Taylor, the last survivor of the Icarus, as well as a cult of deformed people who worship a nuclear bomb.
  14. Dead Poets Society Kurtwood Smith Star Trek VI
  15. Actually, the "one song s***" was later in the movie, after he sang "Darling Nikki." But yes, it is Purple Rain. "Jungle Love" and "The Bird" were performed by Morris Day and The Time

    Happy Birthday!

    You know who you are.
  18. Nope. Only two of those songs are by the artist you're thinking of, and neither was in Batman.
  19. Let's Go Crazy When Doves Cry Jungle Love The Bird That's four different songs.
  20. "At one time most of my friends could hear the bell, but as years passed it fell silent for all of them. Even Sarah found one Christmas that she could no longer hear its sweet sound. Though I've grown old the bell still rings for me, as it does for all who truly believe." "The thing about trains... it doesn't matter where they're going. What matters is deciding to get on."
