Be quiet! I want to hear the answer! :)

Ah. The thread does have a subtitle, though.

Actually very easy. Paul Sorvino was in Nixon with David Paymer David Paymer was in Quiz Show with Mira Sorvino. Ok, so... George Lucas/Steven Spielberg Dang: I looked it up and they both had cameos in Indy II. I'll come up with another one. Steven Spielberg/Martin Scorcese

George, That's what this thread is about. The storm actually formed on Friday.

In this game, it's fairly well established that if there's a lull, anyone else can jump in.

So THAT's what the song means! Happy New Year everyone! Psst. Sudo. Happy 2006!

The Thing It :) The Blob

Please...don't...see...Traxx... :) Do see Shattered Glass, though. Not that interesting unless you realize it's a true story.

I just went through this whole thread again. This has been fun!

It has been an issue before. Up until a few years ago, they didn't name post-season hurricanes (at least, that's my recollection. Perhaps Lifted Up knows better).

Much better. Incidentally, Davis was in Return of the Jedi with Carrie Fisher, who was ALSO in Under the Rainbow. Your move.

Death is not the result of no longer believing. Death is the result of no longer breathing. (just saw WordWolf's post. Great minds...)

This is now making the rounds at work.

So help me God... SPECIAL TROPICAL DISTURBANCE STATEMENT NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL 1100 AM EST FRI DEC 30 2005 SATELLITE IMAGERY INDICATES THAT AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE IN THE EASTERN ATLANTIC HAS DEVELOPED INTO A TROPICAL STORM ABOUT 1000 MILES SOUTH-SOUTHWEST OF THE AZORES. A SPECIAL ADVISORY ON TROPICAL STORM ZETA IS IN PREPARATION AND WILL BE ISSUED IN AN HOUR OR SO.

Except that Billy Barty was not in the Wizard of Oz Hint: Billy Barty was in separate movies with each actor. The Wizard of Oz was not one of them. There's another link that would work in two as well. Initials are CF.

What it shows is that the people running the corporation were not being led by the spirit when they made decisions for the corporation. They were acting according to the flesh and displayed the works thereof.

Oldies, What is the ministry? It's an organization with policies and principles. It's not just the "people." If it were up to the "people," PFAL would have been free. TWI's policy and principles and actions as a corporate unit were devoid of love, joy, peace, patience, gentleness... I can't say that about individuals within TWI. I didn't know them all. I can say that LCM exhibited a profound lack of many of those qualities. But I can't say that about everyone. But regarding the ministry as a corporate unit, it was lacking in every single one of the fruit of the spirit.

Can't speak for every leader, obviously. But the ministry itself? Love? Their love is a counterfeit: they call it agape, but it's got more filet-o than a McDonald's franchise. Joy? They chased joy out in favor of an artificial happiness. Peace? Not really. Longsuffering? That means patience, hardly a TWI attribute. Kindness? Again, hardly an attribute of the organization. Some people, yes, but not the organization. Goodness? Umm, no. Gentleness? Give me a break. Self-control? Others-control, maybe, but not self-control. So, yeah, the ministry either does not have or does not manifest the fruit of the spirit.

Is this tough? Hint: Jerry Maren represented the Lollipop Guild, the Lollipop Guild... So help me, par on this is 2!

Very good. Yes.

Haven't seen it yet. Planning to, maybe Monday.

Two things are getting mixed up here. First is the distinction between "claiming originality" and "plagiarism." Second is this nonsense about "intent to deceive." Oakspear is absolutely right about the originality claim: Wierwille tried to have it both ways by first claiming to have thrown out all those other books, then claiming that his work was not "original." The latter claim would lead you to believe he learned from other men and re-taught concepts he had learned from them. There's nothing wrong with that claim, except it puts the lie to the "I used the Bible as my textbook" claim. Clearly, he used many other books. He says he threw out 3,000 books. What he failed to say is that his library contained more than 3,000 books. :) As far as learning from other people and re-teaching what you've learned: Big fat hairy deal, man. Everyone does that. "Putting it together so that it fit, that was the original work." Okay, no problem. But it's STILL PLAGIARISM if you take sentences, paragraphs and chapters of what someone else wrote and claim that you wrote it. The "intent to deceive" argument is a distraction from the point. It's a grasp at straws to deny Wierwille's culpability. What you're trying to do is find one vague, nonsensical "confession" that Wierwille learned from other people, and turn that into a blanket excuse for plagiarism. You can believe that if you wish, but I'm not falling for it. Not for a second. You can accidentally plagiarize a sentence. But what Wierwille did was serial in nature. A sentence here, a sentence there, a paragraph here, a chapter there. Here's the groundwork Wierwille laid: If you change one word of the Word of God, you no longer have the Word of God. So he changed a few words of the writings he plagiarized and, using the same logic, he could say he "made it his own." Voila! No more plagiarism, because Kenyon used the word "banana" and Wierwille used "plantain"; because Bullinger said "pine tree" and Wierwille said "evergreen." Wasn't he just the cleverest thing? The fact that he made the subtle changes is, in and of itself, proof of intent to deceive, namely, proof that he knew what he was doing, and had not accidentally included other people's writings in his own notes (which happens to honest people). If you're going to do whatever is in your power to disprove the notion that Wierwille plagiarized, be my guest. No one's stopping you. But in the words of Judge Judy, don't pee on my leg and tell me it's raining. (P.S. Big fat hairy deal is a little phrase I picked up from the Garfield comic strip. ;) )

Bette Davis is in Return From Witch Mountain with Christopher Lee. Lee is in Sleepy Hollow with Jeffrey Jones Jones is in Beetlejuice with Geena Davis. Warwick Davis/Jerry Maren. :)

What would it take for you to believe there was an intent to deceive? "I intended to deceive" written in the blood of his grandfather? And once again, since it doesn't seem to be getting through to you, saying that your idea is not original is NOT the same thing as lifting sentences and paragraphs that were written by someone else and passing it off as if you wrote it, which is what Wierwille did on many documented occasions.
