Suuuuuucked!

Yeah the special effects were somewhat entertaining (big surprise) but all else about the movie was pretty lame.

A new ice age is coming, but that darn, wily Dick Cheney-looking vice-president won't take seriously the warnings of a scientist (Dennis Quaid) whose son (still in high school) looks only 10 years younger than his mother (Sela Ward). The characters themselves are freakin' unbelievable.

Run, don't walk, AWAY from the theater on this one. If you need a fix of special effects, save some money and rent a video game, or wait until it comes out on tape.

What do I hide?

Bodies buried in my backyard....

(oooooo-weeeeeee-ooooooo....)

of termites and ants, that is....

Sunesis, you're full of crap.

Along with recollections of the work, "Greatest Hoax of the 20th Century" (recommended by some of the seasoned initiates), a copy of "Myth of the Six Million", -lent to me by a Corp person many years ago - grows moldy in my basement as I type this. And a damn good place for it, IMHO.

I wasn't even in the Corp, and yet this type of material reached even as far as me, a regular "twigite" schmuck...

Add to that my own personal recollection of LCM (at an "Advanced Class" in Emporia circ. '85) ranting about modern Jews being as genetically related to Biblical Jews as "monkeys swinging in trees in Africa", - not to overlook the Way's promotion of Arthur Koestler's "Thirteenth Tribe" - demonstrates enough red-flags to me to not so hastily dismiss Sunesis' recollections and experience here. If anything, her experiences further confirm for me what "manifestations" of the Way's anti-semitism I had already personally observed. It's not a stretch at all.

lol!

Genuine "Christian ministers" generally don't shear their flock in the manner of that dirty old bastard.

"The firsthand account from a translator, said Hitler gobbled candy-colored pills and raved for a half-hour "in a fit of frenzy" with "foam on his lips," questioning whether "the German people are worthy of my great ideas."

"I don't know why I didn't go over to the Allies there and then," said the translator, Eugen Dollmann, in a conversation after his capture in 1945."

In a word -- No. If He was "fashioned" like Adam was, He would have had God as His Father, and still been human, tempted in all ways like we are, and He would have had the choice to either obey or disobey.

The fact that He was a "perfect, sinless man" is a testament to His choice of following "It is written", instead of "It is what I want".

---

But neither you nor I (nor anyone else here) were "born" via a miraculous virgin conception(according to the canonical gospels).

Wouldn't this had made Him in some way physically and mentally perfect and sinless - unlike "just like us"? And entering into the world via miraculous conception could hardly be regarded as having been a "choice" on His part, (unless perhaps, He had pre-existed in some form and made that choice Himself).

Hope you're feeling better Mandii!

My mother went through a similar operation a few months ago. Amazing what can be done nowadays.

Danny

Hey Tom - I appreciate the recommendation!

I'll try to rent it this weekend.

Thank you!

Danny

lol, Steve. I noticed "Cleopatra" last night while I was channel surfing, but I didn't want to commit to the drama at the time

(sword and sandal epics do tend to be a bit long in the tooth).

AMC also played the 3rd "Star Trek" movie a few nights ago. I thought Kirk/William Shatner got over the slaying of his son rather quickly...perhaps because he's got so many other children (in multifarious forms) all over the universe via all his romps.

I've often wondered if Bill Clinton watched too much Star Trek when he was growing up.

Raf, that is why I wanted private posts. I could hardly believe you think that is abridging your freedom to express yourself publically. It was a suggestion, that was all.

It's hard to imagine the well-paid lawyers of the "children of the corn" not being already aware of the possible weaknesses that have been raised here concerning Pat's case. Unless one is praying for incredibly stupid lawyers for the other side in order to win this thing.

If Pat doesn't want points of this case being publicly aired, then it would seem an even better and wiser idea if he didn't initiate these threads to begin with.

Danny

Dovey-

I pray for your strength, calmness, and healing, as well as guiding wisdom to lead the hearts of your doctors. I trust the God of Love will not let you down, and will help you sail through this little storm.

In expectation of His Infinite Kindness for you,

Danny

Whoa -She's baaack!!!

She came trotting through the door this morning, a bit more lean and hungrier.

Thanks for your prayers, everyone!

Danny

"Starlight" slipped out the door, apparently enjoying a wild weekend (her distant, pre-dawn yowlings jarred a few awake in the neighborhood, I'm sure) and hasn't been seen in 3 days.

If you pray for her to come home, I'll give you a kitten (while supplies last).

Thanks!

Dot,

I had recently borrowed a videotape copy to preview in the hopes of showing certain parts to my son in preparation of his upcoming school report on Pearl Harbor.

It's like watching character rejects dropped from a bad "Archie" comic strip.

One is almost relieved to see the cgi-Disney Japanese planes finally attacking, to put (only) some of these boring characters out of their soap opera misery.

I haven't gotten to the second tape yet...I may not be able to get all the way through it either (lol)! Perhaps I should give "From Here to Eternity" a shot (haven't seen that one in years).

Danny

Are they even worse than the characters

in "Pearl Harbor"?

Omigod!

Are "The Victors" getting back together for a Pay-the-Bills "Reconciliation" tour?

Did they get a new recording contract with "Pickwick", "K-Tel" or "Ronco"?

Whoa! Sign me up, dudes!

Excie (lol)!

You posted a pic of my beloved "Dairy Queen" -

so nick-named because she goes nuts in the presence of sour cream, ice cream, and bits of cheese from MacDonald's hamburgers.

She, among all cats, would most surely be able to discern the evil "Antibutter" of Fabio!

:)-->

I heard a few years ago that as he rode a roller coaster during a fashion shoot, Fabio's head collided with a seagull flying by. Fabio's noggin required a few stitches, but the seagull was not so fortunate.

By mysterious process of transmigration,

the spirit of the seagull

filled the empty room of Fabio's mind.

But that spirit was Satan.

All who behold Fabio

become the spawn of Fabio.

Join us ye Way remnant -

Bow to our feather-brained lord

FABIO!

Heresy!

Well God may not have had a reason in particular, but the writers and subsequent editors of this material certainly must have had their reasons, i.e., to water down the more heretical ideas not in harmony with their own.

A common opinion regarded for the occassion of writing "Laodiceans" is that such a letter is mentioned at the end of Colossians as having been sent to them.

It seems to me that Master Vic should have been familiar with the common scholarly opinion that "Ephesians" is indeed a "rewriting" of some kind, unless Pikes Peak University (PPU) didn't carry these sort of books.

Not a very perceptive example for him to use for making a case against "rewriting" or redoing anything.

I've seen the conclusions oft argued in many "NT introduction" volumes that Ephesians is a rewrite of Colossians, or vice-versa. It even had a different name attached to it in an earlier canon - "To the Laodiceans".

It is generally categorized as "Deutero-Pauline" on the basis of style, sentence structure,and content, and assumed to have been penned not by Paul, but by a zealous fan who sought to take Pauline ideas up a notch.

If she does indeed have Alzheimers, it's quite possible that no one at HQ actually is able to sufficently care for her.

If she's under the care of professionals elsewhere, she may very well be better off.
