My guess was way off. Ignore it.

Looked it up. I was waaaay off.

My guess: To Tell the Truth or Consequences

I have a guess. Does the linking word start with a T?

Wow. Possibly the best post ever.

Let him play!

Correct, excy. I didn't think to add an "I don't know/I'm not sure" category. In hindsight, that was very foolish of me. However, the poll is meaningless. ;)

Another vote came in. It seems now those who admit "faking it" now outnumber those who hold to TWI's version of SIT. Of course, the poll IS meaningless, but seeing as prior results subjected me to a little bit of "Rock!" throwing, I thought I'd bring it up. Sudo! Hey, look everyone! Sudo's here! Happy birthday (belated) old man!

Really? This isn't an easy one? Anyone? At the height of a very tense confrontation, Darth Vader reveals to Marty McFly that Doc Brown never told him the truth about his father. Darth Vader is George McFly!

still no. :)

Yep

How many "Get this soldier home to his mother" quotes do I need to post?

Sorry: I thought the right thing. Night of the Living Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid. Bringing it to the top of a new page. At least in my settings.

Darth Vader reveals that he is really George McFly

Another dead link. :) The Walking Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid

Quick recap for those just joining us: I've agreed not to use the terms "lying" or "faked" or variations of them in favor of "free vocalization," which in context has no religious or supernatural connotation. A person engaging in free vocalization is deliberately producing sounds and, consciously or subconsciously, seeking to produce sounds that emerge as a language. I believe that Wierwille deliberately led us into free vocalization and called it "speaking in tongues," and that we who perpetuated this teaching did so of a pure heart and conscience, not meaning to deceive or to lead anyone else into a deception (but doing so nonetheless). I believe that this same process of free vocalization marks most if not all of what the modern Christian world refers to as "speaking in tongues." This blanket statement, admittedly, cannot be proved, but it CAN be disproved by anyone who speaks in tongues and produces a verifiable language. I do not ask anyone to agree with me, but I do call on you to search your heart and be willing to admit the truth, as Goey, geisha and a couple of others have done. It doesn't make you less of a Christian to tell the truth: it makes you more of one. I am not judging the Biblical experience of speaking in tongues and I understand that my beliefs raise some serious doctrinal questions. There are two threads exploring some of those questions in the doctrinal section, along with a third thread that provides links to some outside reading material. If you disagree with me, I'm fine with that. I stand by my position, but I will not impose it on you anymore than you will impose yours on me. Did I miss anything important?

Johniam, my son was recently diagnosed with ASD. Your dedication to your children just raised you like a billion notches in my book. We may not agree on much, but you have my profound respect. Keep up the fight.

Care to give it a try, Human?

"Hell, these guys deserve to go home as much as I do. They've fought just as hard." "Is that what I'm supposed to tell your mother when she gets another folded American flag?" "You can tell her that when you found me, I was with the only brothers I had left. And that there was no way I was deserting them. I think she'd understand that."

Goey, I would bet that you speak for many, many more people than the poll results would indicate. Took a lot of courage and integrity for you to share that.

Goey? Is it really you?

Actually, it appears Wierwille was all over the map on this one: http://www.empirenet.com/~messiah7/vp_cntradef.htm

Steve, I think you got allos and heteros backward. At least partly. Allos was another of the same kind and another when more than two are involved. Heteros was another of a different kind or when only two are involved.

You're all in the right genre. Pretty sure you're all in the wrong decade. It's recent to us, but an old movie to anyone who just got a drivers license. Looking again: yes, all the guesses so far have been in the wrong decade.

"You wanna explain the math of this to me? I mean, where's the sense of riskin' the lives of the eight of us to save one guy?" "Twenty degrees. Anybody wanna answer that?" "Reiben, think about the poor bastard's mother." "Hey, Doc, I got a mother, all right? I mean, you got a mother. Sarge's got a mother. I mean, ...., I bet even the captain's got a mother. Well, maybe not the captain, but the rest of us got mothers."
