Allan, Have a beer. And some respect for those who think and believe differently. These are good folks who have come to a different conclusion. Lighten up.

PSUMT!!!! Papist Scum and Unitarian Miscreants Together!

Correct. Well, the second time, anyway.

I have given every lyric but the title. It's a lesser known song by a very famous singer that got a LOT of play when it came out, and very little since then. It's from a movie. I would say it's from a musical, since it was a movie version of a musical, but the song is not in the original musical.

Ahem. As I was saying...

I believe this is why communion consists of bread and wine, and not words and doctrines.

She was saucy!

No correct guesses yet... Deep in my heart I'm concealing things I've been longing to say, Scared to confess what I'm feeling, frightened you'll slip away. TITLE, TITLE Why are you at my side? How can I be any use to you now? Give me a chance and I'll let you see how nothing has changed. Deep in my heart I'm concealing things I've been longing to say, Scared to confess what I'm feeling, frightened you'll slip away.

Stuttering again, I see.

Fair enough. Have a Corona.

Went to see it again. It's better on a second viewing, particularly the return from the Triwizard tournament. I can't say this enough: this movie is worth watching for that scene alone.

We had it all: you believed in me; I believed in you. Certainties disappear. What do we do for our dream to survive? How do we keep all our passions alive as we used to do?

I'm actually to the "right" of you on this one. A person who believes that baptism is required who does not go through with it has not made Jesus his Lord. He's putting something else in the way. Then it's not necessary. I disagree that such a person has been improperly taught, but bottom line is, if your thinking that it isn't necessary makes it unnecessary, then it's not necessary. I figured as much. I figured that early on, which is why I brought up soteriology. But that's a much longer discussion. Cool beans.

Tropical DEPRESSION Gamma. Woo hoo! Ding Dong the Storm is Dead!

I'm not sure that's true, Oakspear. Marks, yes or no, no verse quotes, no long explanations, etc. If a person truly believes Christ and has made him Lord, yet for some reason chooses not to be baptized (say, to your way of thinking, he was wrongly taught), yet he witnesses, wins others to Christ, prays, believes, etc... is he saved?

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doodoo doo doo.... Hungry Like The Wolf Duran Duran ==== "Where do we go from here? This isn't where we intended to be."

Oh come on? This is a genuinely hard one. I haven't the slightest idea. Oliver & Co.?

WE ARE OUT OF THE CONE!

Oh, and Moaning Myrtle is a ho-ho-ho! Merry Christmas!

Ah, it's pushing south. Much better for West Palm Beach, and pretty dang good for us here is Fort Lauderdale, too.

Good points and bad points. On the bad side, Hermione seemed overly stressed through the whole movie, and the surprise of the ending is telegraphed so often that you wonder why they even bothered to keep it a secret. Another bad point is that we know Ron and Hermione have a thing for each other, but she has so much more chemistry with Harry that you wonder if the actors haven't started something on the side. Finally, the very, very end is so flat you could write on it. I really thought the three main characters were going to start singing We Go Together. On the good side: Daniel Radcliffe does an outstanding job. I mean outstanding. I mean outstanding. The rest of the cast is terrific, too, particularly Jason Isaacs, the Weasley twins and the boy who plays Neville Longbottom. Mad Eye Moody is a hoot, and Alan Rickman has one scene in particular that he plays so well he'll need to use extra floss to get the scenery out of his teeth. And the return from to the stadium at the end of the tournament simply could not have been played better. Plenty of tears in the audience at that one, especially among the younguns. This is really the part of the series where people start objecting to these being called children's books. These are coming of age books, and that scene puts a definite nail in the coffin of Harry Potter as a children's book series. In some ways, Peter Jackson could have directed this movie. I mean, parts of it were that good.

You know you live in Florida when: You're taking a word association test, and the therapist says "cone," and you DON'T say "ice cream."

A few seconds. As I said, I stole it off the other site. :)

Right now the prediction is tropical storm strength, at most, when it rolls through.
