"If we're going to just disavow the word isn't there some nice satanist forum out there!?" I've encountered lots of groups over the years, and twi was only one of them that said "You can agree with us or you can disagree with GOD ALMIGHTY because we're 100% in accordance with him, and leaving us means leaving GOD ALMIGHTY." I wasn't sure if that's what you meant, but it certainly could be taken that way, and it sounded like that to me. Of course, you might have meant something completely completely different, in which case, a little clarification would be appreciated (by me if by no one else.)

II Corinthians 9:7 (KJV) "Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver." (NASB) "Each one must do just as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver." Ah, a REQUIRED 10% or required 15% is "of necessity", "under compulsion." In twi, it's required. I'm sure someone can engage in sophistry about the word "required," but the reality is that it is required. Try to be in twi without records showing that you give, and see how long that lasts. There will be "friendly discussions" about how you should be, and so on. You'll get leaned on. I'm not sure they'll kick you out like in the old days, but it's still required- the only difference would be in the sanctions should you try to disobey the requirement. There will be SOME sanctions either way.

Welcome. Lulu. You may find that there's different types of people here. Some are no longer Christian- partly because twi really made a bad case for Christianity. Some of us are still Christian, and even still believe the Bible's really important (Hi, that includes me!). Some people are Christians with varying beliefs- either far from what twi taught, or pretty close to what twi taught, all depending on our journeys. None of those positions is required to post here. You're welcome either way, and posting friendly is appreciated. Goodness, we've had so many discussions about how foolish, unbiblical and nonsensical the no-debt policy was. Even vpw's uncle Harry claimed you should never go into debt EXCEPT FOR A HOUSE OR A CAR.

I found each of those useful for different things. WhatsApp I use on my phone and find it best for that. Zoom I use for groups with a presenter. Skype was flexible for general and casual chatting, and sometimes for a small group. I even find Discord has its uses. And so on.

That's the one. I still remember the newspaper articles. Larry Hagman suggested JR's mom shot him, and so on. The NYPD detectives got simple. "Forget the motives. Forget the clues. Whoever did it is going to have to leave the show. The only actor scheduled to leave the show...."

Yes, that's it.

In case it's news to you, Skype is shutting down as a service. If you're interested in keeping it, you can open it now while it's still in operation (another few days at most, so move ASAP!) and follow the prompts. It will lead you through downloading Microsoft Teams, and transfer your Skype data directly to Microsoft Teams, where you will still be able to text, audio chat, video chat, and share screens. I figured some of you would like to know that. That is all.

Just FYI.... It sounded like you might be agreeing with Arthur Koestler's "the Thirteenth Tribe." If that's so, you might be interested in hearing that it was disproven beyond any reasonable doubt. We all know that book was pushed by vpw a lot. Then again, if anything was anti-semitic, vpw pushed it whether or not it made sense. "Myth of the Six Million" was also disproven. In case you're unclear, genetic tests prove that the modern Jews are descended from the historical Jews because they share genetic markers that the rest of us do not. Also, there were more than 6 million people killed by the Nazis, but at least 6 million of the murdered were Jews. Some time ago, we went over those rather finely.

Ok, next show. This show has had a successful run, and it has a short-lived attempt at a revival some time later. At its height, it seemed like everybody in the US was talking about it, even those who weren't watching it. A summer cliffhanger where one character attempted to murder another got the entire US (I don't know how other countries responded). In fact, the US Daily News did a feature on it one week that summer, with different people giving their ideas on who was the attempted murderer. Everybody had their own guesses. The day with the correct answer? The day they interviewed detectives of the NYPD and asked their opinion.

"The preceding was recorded earlier because we were ashamed to do it now." "This show has been prerecorded to give the cast a chance to get away." "Do you know there's a small hotel in downtown Burbank?" "No, but if you hum a few bars, I can fake it."

Outrageous Fortune George Carlin Dogma

Meaning it's George's turn.

I think we're all zero for 5 here. I know I am.

I'd probably like it, but I'd never heard of it or its album. It may have charted, but I never heard it.

Correct!

He-Man! And the Masters of the Universe! Concerning the opening, I thought it was grossly unfair for Prince Adam to explain the origin, and then, immediately after that, to punch me! I just sat there listening to his story, and he punches me! WTH?

Based on the specific level of confusion, I can say the following. 1) I have not heard this album. 2) I have not heard this song. 3) I have heard this style somewhere, so I probably am at least a little familiar with the artist in question. That's as far as I can get, and I might be very wrong- could be the Killers or the Verve Pipe or something.

"What I believe. I believe that every man should put his woman on a pedestal- so he can look up her dress. I believe that THE BATTLE OF THE NETWORK STARS should be fought with guns..... (etc)" - Steve Martin ======================================= Three teams- CBS, NBC and ABC, all based on who was in shows currently airing. But I always liked to watch the "Simon Says" segment. I remember a member of the public who won- by not refusing to step into the pool. He got dunked and won the round. Other than being on national TV, I don't know if he won anything. This was a good question.

This is strange. I can't get through directly. Whenever I try "Down for everyone or just me", it confirms the site is down (including right now, both ways.) I tried 4 other website checkers, and all 4 say it's up right now. https://www.isitdownrightnow.com/ctcoftexas.com.html https://notopening.com/site/ctcoftexas.com https://downinspector.com/check/ctcoftexas.com https://tools.iplocation.net/is-it-down Unsure why one of them, plus myself, are having trouble getting in if all the rest are not.

Animal House Kevin Bacon Apollo 13

Wild swing here.... "Gary Oldman"?????

It seems familiar, but nothing is clicking so far.

Clue Madeline Kahn Young Frankenstein

You (plural) apparently CAN see, because that was the correct answer. It was in the scene discussing the meteorite that fell in Addis Ababa (Ethiopia's capital.)
