I'm going to give "Gotham Knights" a chance. I found the first episode interesting- but there better be more substance soon, or the story is going to eat itself.

Um, "Inner Space"...... DENNIS QUAID?????

Um, which one was he, again? I think this was STEVE MARTIN.

"Ooh- give me a chance, give me a sign. I'll show her anytime."

Here's a title cut off another album sitting in that window right now. "We don't need no education."

I passed by a bookstore last week. In the window, as has been the custom recently, they had several vinyl records displayed for sale. One that had been added last week was Dire Straits' "Brothers In Arms." The answer this round was "WALK OF LIFE," 2nd hit single off of Dire Straits' "Brothers in Arms." (IIRC, also the last hit single off of that album.

Raf posted that the answer was "Revolution." He posted a movie question, and judged my answer close enough to count as correct. So, I posted this one, which you answered CORRECTLY. The Buggles' one hit was nicely symbolic for MTV coming in and changing the music landscape.

The prosperity gospel is a hallmark of the dangerous Word of Faith Movement, of which vpw was an incredibly minor player, copying others. We were taught that if we wanted something, we could ask God Almighty and He'd give it to us. https://www.greasespotcafe.com/ipb/topic/25436-the-dangerous-word-of-faith-movement-and-how-it-harmed-christians-in-twi/

Next. We all know MTV used to play music videos. In fact, it exclusively used to play music videos. When MTV first began broadcasting, what was the first video they played?

Say 'goodbye' to the oldies-but-goodies, 'cause the good old days weren't always good and tomorrow ain't as bad as it seems. "Keeping the Faith", Billy Joel.

Ok, most likely some vampire flick, then. "Dracula-the Untold Story"???

Some prints of this movie omit the final line from a scene- one of my favorite lines from the movie- "Every one of them has a mother." There's some prints that leave out part of the scene where 2 of the characters reach a boat. What was Jack La Lanne doing in this movie? Some of the characters have odd histories. One had a last name of "Beagle" before it was rewritten into the now-familiar last name (and middle names "Thaddeus Crane"). Another was visually based on the comic strip character "Broadway Bates." (With a middle name of "Chesterfield.") Another has the middle name "Worthington." (None of the middle names appeared in the movie.) It's not stated in the movie, but it's thought the bulk of the story took place in New Jersey. The Spanish-language version of this movie included characters named Bruno Diaz and Ricardo Tapia Someone parodied Nikita Krushchev's famous "bang the shoe at the UN" moment in this movie. A Chrysler Imperial and a Lincoln Futura prototype both appear in this movie A former Miss America appeared in the cast. References to Robert Louis Stevenson's novels were snuck into the movie, but not into the dialogue. This movie was NOT distributed by Warner Brothers (making it peculiar). Once you've seen the scene where "Bringing in the Sheaves" is played, it's hard not to have the song stuck in your head whenever thinking about that scene.

I am??? Ok, hold on.....

Ok, the most recent series has had at least 7 seasons, so that eliminates a few possibilities. I'm thinking this is only one of a few possible franchises, but I'm not sure which has been around longer. So, I'll go with a "CSI" spinoff. Is it a "CSI" spinoff?

Then Raf was right. Wordpup loves the concept of the Rickroll. Furthermore, he's cool with Rick Astley's song without any tricks.

(I thought "You're all mad" was actually a giveaway.)

Ironically, it was a small number. Was it "ONE"?

There's a few possibilities here. I'll start with the outlier. "HIGHLANDER???"

The link isn't working for me. What song did he say it was?

Nathan_Jr: “Don't the epistles provide criteria for a man of god? Haven't we already shown victor doesn't meet those criteria?” Mike: "The epistles do not tell us how God picks people for super special jobs, like listen to what God said he should trust and not trust in other authors and researchers. That super special 1942 job also entailed teaching it, distributing it and listening to God’s guidance in that as well. He got the job done, mostly, by his retirement in 1982. ============================= It's rather silly to cling so doggedly to what was so thoroughly disproven. https://www.greasespotcafe.com/ipb/topic/24980-concerning-the-failure-of-the-1942-promise/ There was no special nor super special 1942 job. The only reason to think there was, is the testimony of a proven liar and proven fraud. It is not sound thinking to trust the words of a proven liar. It is not sound thinking to trust the genuine work of a known fraud. It is not sound thinking to give credibility to someone who has a history of lying, defrauding, and so on. They've already squandered "the benefit of the doubt."

I'm sorry for your loss. Our furry friends and our furry family have shorter lives, and often leave ours much too soon for our tastes. (Also true for many humans, but moreso for our fuzzy family.) Tuxedo had a happy home, and knew she was loved and cared for. If there's anything else to offer, I don't know about it. She will be missed like we miss so many of our friends.

That about sums it up. I could get into how his opinion doesn't change anything. I could get into how we saw books that have proper crediting do NOT distract from the text ("Babylon Mystery Religion" had end-notes that were legally and morally correct, and did NOT distract- in fact, it's easy to read the book and not notice they're there.) I could get into how vpw himself had a double-standard, where he helped himself to everyone else's books without proper legal and moral credit (in the majority of cases, he put a few in to cover his tracks), and then turned around and put copyright notices on all "his" books. Ultimately, it's pointless. The sensible don't need me to point it out, and the other type would agree no matter how logical it is.

Since someone asked, EW Bullinger's "Giver and His Gifts" is a lot easier to find under the title "Word Studies on the Holy Spirit."

We got plenty of STORIES about how all sorts of things happened on the other side of the world, in front of people we couldn't speak to and ask. When it came to day-to-day in twi, we should have been tripping over instances all the time of miraculous things happening. There should have been a "how to" in the Advanced class, with people taught live and seeing things happening right there. We should have been hearing how people joined twi and traveled to hq so that vpw could deliver miraculous healing. We had one story like that- but it was one where somebody went in their wheelchair, got to vpw face-to-face, and no healing was even ATTEMPTED. Instead, we got anecdotes about good parking spaces. "Kojacking" in place of miracles is a miserable failure, and a lousy counterfeit. I also won't buy "I once heard from someone that they knew someone who once saw...." If vpw was legit and the miracles were legit, there would have been plenty of public miracles every ROA and they would have been common occurrences on grounds for people who lived and worked there.
