I did tithe for a brief period in the 1990s. And God did spit in my direction. So I stopped tithing immediately. :)-->

Maybe too soon. But I'm counting on all of you to keep the pressure on!

For some reason that I can't quite understand, I started smoking about 18 months ago. I had a few this morning, but then... I threw out the rest of the pack... and I threw out the lighter... and I... quit? Yeah. Yeah, dangit, I quit! Who's with me?

I just started one. Let's see what happens (naturally, there's no info on it yet). Shameless Plug

We should be flexible on this. Most TV movies, no one's ever heard of. Please refrain from the obscure movie of the week that aired one time in 1980. And Lifetime movies are out and out banned. But Steven King's The Stand has already been used. I can't imagine penalizing for "V" or Roots. If you're reasonably confident that a lot of people have seen it or heard of it (Angels in America would pass), then by all means. By the same token, Al Pacino has no shortage of theatrical releases to consider, so if it's not necessary, then let's not go there. Use your discretion. Last movie was: 10

Victor Victoria Julie Andrews 10

I think I was just the fastest. "The family sings." It was either the Brady Bunch movie (sorry, just 6 kids, unless you count Oliver. Hmmmm) or The Sound of Music.

There was an ex-CES forum for a while. It never quite caught on, although there are some interesting discussions. I think http://www.exwayworld.com and/or http://www.excultworld.com have information about offshoots, but no active forum on them. My forum (which I like to think of as the explicitly Christian offshoot of GSCafe) doesn't have any real offshoot discussions to date, but you just gave me an idea...

I don't need believing to be a "law" to understand the importance and value of faith. I do not need to be compelled, incorrectly, to tithe to understand the importance of giving, or the Biblical admonition to give generously. I view PFAL's keys independently of PFAL. "Read the verse, read the context, see where it's been used before" can be applied to that which is taught in PFAL. PFAL teaches dispensationalism. Does the Bible? PFAL teaches that believing is a law that works for saint and sinner alike. Does the Bible? PFAL teaches that fear is believing in reverse and what you fear will come to pass. Does the Bible? Welcome to GS, MD.

What? The portion you quoted is IMMEDIATELY followed by the answer you claim is not there, in detail. I do not propose that my conclusions are superior. I only propose that they are MINE. You may not realize this, but this thread was a lengthy discussion, not just me spouting off at the mouth. I was also quite willing to listen and adjust my views accordingly. I am not a better teacher than VPW. I am merely different, with different viewpoints. And I think you should consider those viewpoints. If you disagree with them, that's just dandy with me. As long as you're thinking, I'm happy. You've come to the conclusion that much of what VPW taught was accurate. You'd probably be surprised to learn that I have come to a similar conclusion. But that would take away from your ability to criticize me as a "critic" who tries to establish his own conclusions as "superior." "PROVE all things. Hold fast to that which is good." Why don't you tell me how to do that without reasonably assessing what's right and what's wrong with what you've been taught?

Sound of Music ?

Belle? Are you out there? It's your move!

Not only that, but Bob doesn't really bob. He sinks, or he swims, just like the rest of us.

I'm still stumped.

Kudos on the Donna Murphy catch. I thought that might be a stumper. Charles Martin Smith Deep Impact Tea Leoni

Patrick Stewart Star Trek Insurrection Donna Murphy

I'm stumped.

Correct. Manhunter, later remade as Red Dragon, was the movie I was thinking of. Both lines are in both movies.

Gregory Hines White Nights Mikhail Baryshnikov Okay, I'm kidding about the ballet guy. Isabella Rosselini

Sorry! Steve! Maybe! Next! Time! And no, it's neither big fish nor pirates. I gave one hint: the line is good for two movies. I'll give you another hint: two movies, yes. Two stories, no. Name either movie. "Do you know how you caught me, Will?" And another quote from the same flick(s): You're so sly. But so am I.

Sigh. Benny & Joon. New clue, good for two movies: name either one. Do you know how you caught me, Will?"

More from the same movie (for the following, I'm cheating. The first quote was from memory. The second was posted from memory and corrected by cheating. The following are taken off a web site with movie quotes)... They used to be fat and juicy and now they're twisted. They had their lives stolen. Well, they taste sweet, but really they're just humiliated grapes. I can't say I am a big supporter of the raisin council. Some cultures are defined by their relationship to cheese. Ruthie, do you got any avocados? "He can really cook, can't he?" "Yeah, although for grilled cheese, I might use the wool setting." "That's what I told him." "Really? What did he use?" "Rayon. Silk would have been too soggy. Cotton would have..." "Would have burned it." "Right. Fortunately, he consulted me before giving it steam. I was four square against it." And if you still don't get it, then I've stumped ya!
