  1. IIRC, the Orange Book doesn't have it in print because it wasn't IN the taped PFAL class. I hadn't heard it- which suggests it wasn't in the live class, since I made a fair attempt to memorize it by sitting through it. I read that he HAD said it because I bought TW:LiL and put it on my shelf without reading it. When I read someone criticized him for saying it was the first time I recalled having heard that (after sitting thru pfal a few times.) I was skeptical he HAD said it as such. In pfal, I recall him saying -he'd dedicated his life to God's Word, and saying that -the holy spirit field was what God called him to and that, to me, didn't suggest he was saying he'd heard any audible voice from God Almighty. Lots of us at the local levels sat through pfal, never suspecting he'd claimed he'd heard audibly from God Almighty, and, frankly, the suggestion he'd said it made me uncomfortable as soon as I'd read it. It would have significantly undermined pfal for me if I'd heard it there- so I suspect I didn't simply overlook it several times. A smart con man doesn't put the hook in an obvious place. pfal was the bait, and later came the ridiculous claims. lcm's class failed partly because he mixed his bait- the class- WITH his ridiculous claims. New people saw right away lcm was a nutcase, which killed retention of new people. With everyone expected to take pfal and have the Orange Book, it's not smart con-artistry to put his outrageous claims in either. So, they had Bullinger's work, Stiles' work, and Leonard's work, plus vpw's bad jokes and rambling stories (the homileticist "putting his own personal stamp" on all the plagiarized material, and probably why he partly convinced himself he actually did something with the material. Saying he'd dedicated his life, if sincere, meant he himself made a decision. Saying God called him to something, if sincere, meant he believed God wanted him to work on something long-term. Neither suggests an audible voice from God Almighty. Looking back after knowing he ALSO claimed that- NOW it looks like that's what he was referring to. If you only go by the class, however, you don't get that claim there. That's all as best as I can recall- and that's usually pretty reliable concerning the class' contents.
  2. Oddly enough, he never played The Doctor. He was inspired by Jack Benny- which is why he changed his first name to "Benny" for show business (his last name WAS "Hill.")
  3. Prince Edmund, Duke of Edinburgh Lord Edmund Blackadder Edmund Blackadder Esq Jules Maigret Nigel Small-Fawcett Enrico Pollini Bernard Fripp Dexter Hayman Reverend Walter Goodfellow Inspector Raymond Fowler John English Robert Box "the Doctor"(Dr Who) Dr. Schooner Ron Anderson Mr. Stringer Father Gerald Zazu Mr. James Emile Mondavarious Rufus Reverend Walter Goodfellow Peter Piper / Spider-Plant Man Archbishop of Canterbury Richard Latham "Ecce homo qui est faba." (Don't google that directly, since it will almost certainly link to the answer. This actor would also like to cite his inspirations- Peter Sellers and Mr Hulot.) Read the list slowly, now. I have one last name to post, but it should be obvious, now.
  4. Jon Pertwee was the 3rd Doctor, and is not the answer. Look, the usual list of Drs is: William Hartnell, Patrick Troughton, Jon Pertwee, Tom Baker, Peter Davison, Colin Baker, Sylvester McCoy, Paul Mc Gann, Christopher Eccleston, David Tennant, Matt Smith, Peter Capaldi, Jodie Whitaker. Scratch all those names off your list. There were other people who played that character, either as an unnumbered Doctor, audio role, SPOOF, or otherwise.
  5. BTW, some discussion of "Personal Prophecy" turned up here....
  6. For those who never looked for the threads on Momentus and Personal Prophecy here (there's a search function, after all), I'm posting 2 links as a public service. The forum "Spirit and Truth Fellowship International" has both threads I'm linking to... "CES and Momentous" and "Step Right Up, get your own personal prophecy." Both have links to at least 1 other discussion at the GSC on their subjects. https://www.greasespotcafe.com/ipb/topic/13316-ces-and-momentous/ https://www.greasespotcafe.com/ipb/topic/12632-step-right-up-get-your-own-personal-prophecy/ BTW, the "Momentus" thread was here: https://www.greasespotcafe.com/ipb/topic/4424-momentus/
  7. for those wondering, here's another link for another thread that discussed personal prophecy, titled Personal Prophecy in the Way and Christian Educational Services. (CES later became STFI, for those who lost track.) https://www.greasespotcafe.com/ipb/topic/6207-personal-prophecy-in-the-way-and-christian-educational-services-ces/
  8. Here's a link to one of the other threads on Momentus, titled "Momentus." https://www.greasespotcafe.com/ipb/topic/4424-momentus/
  9. Man, if we had a Brit posting now, this would be so easy. Mrs Wolf, fan of British TV, would have cut me off in the first list.
  10. Prince Edmund, Duke of Edinburgh Lord Edmund Blackadder Edmund Blackadder Esq Jules Maigret Nigel Small-Fawcett Enrico Pollini Bernard Fripp Dexter Hayman Reverend Walter Goodfellow Inspector Raymond Fowler Robert Box "the Doctor"(Dr Who) Dr. Schooner Ron Anderson Mr. Stringer Father Gerald Zazu Mr. James Emile Mondavarious Rufus Reverend Walter Goodfellow Peter Piper / Spider-Plant Man Archbishop of Canterbury Richard Latham "Ecce homo qui est faba."

  11. The answer IS "Iron Man." Clark Gregg appeared in Iron Man, Iron Man 2 and Avengers. Rhodey has been in several movies- but before his 2nd appearance (Iron Man 2), Terrence Howard asked for more money and was bum-rushed out the door and Don Cheadle was rushed in. An awful shame- since TH was one of several actors there who really did look like their role, and he was pretty good in the role and was familiar with Rhodey before he was cast. So, Terrence Howard was in exactly 1 Marvel movie- the one where Clark Gregg was introduced to them.
  12. Agent Coulson was dead at the time, and was not referred to, nor did he appear in any flashback.
  13. If you were really up on your Doctors you'd probably be MORE confused by his inclusion on this list. As a regular poster here, you would have a better chance of that having been a clue. In fact, as a regular typer of your posts, I would think you'd be better-prepared than the average Whovian. It's not Eccleston (nor Tennant, nor Capaldi nor Smith.)
  14. Ok, next film. Paul Bettany Clark Gregg Terrence Howard
  15. Prince Edmund, Duke of Edinburgh Lord Edmund Blackadder Edmund Blackadder Esq Jules Maigret Nigel Small-Fawcett Enrico Pollini Bernard Fripp Dexter Hayman Reverend Walter Goodfellow Inspector Raymond Fowler Robert Box "the Doctor"(Dr Who) I'm trying not to post his 2 most famous movie roles, but you might have gotten it already. (In re: Dexter Hayman.... "What a weiner!" "Don't get me started.")
  16. I might recognize a few of their songs by the lyrics, but not many. I might have at least guessed the BAND, but I had nothing.
  17. It sounds familiar, but nothing's springing to mind right now.
  18. It's useful when I visit the US, which isn't often. Locally, Siffie has been airing TNG for some time, which I appreciate. I hope they follow it up with DS9 or Voyager, or even "Enterprise." I'm ok if they air TOS, for that matter.
  19. Ok, answered my own question using your previous answer. :)
  20. When does the next episode air, again?
  21. "Merry Christmas, buddy." "You elected me on a single platform. I will defend this country at all costs." "I don't want to make things awkward for you, but I do have to show you... Boom!" " A Hispanic Scott Baio? I'm sorry. Is that me?" "You walked right into this one: I've dated hotter chicks than you." "Is that all you've got? A cheap trick and a cheesy one-liner?" "Sweetheart, that could be the name of my autobiography. " "Am I going to be okay?" "No. You're in a relationship with me, nothing will ever be okay. But I had this twenty years ago when I was drunk, I can sort it out. I fix stuff." "What have I got to complain about now?" "Well, it's me. You'll find something." "Oh, my God. That was really violent." "True story about fortune cookies. They look Chinese, they sound Chinese. But they're actually an American invention, which is why they're hollow, full of lies, and leave a bad taste in the mouth. My disciples just destroyed another cheap American knockoff, the Chinese Theatre. Mr. President, I know this must be getting frustrating. But this season of terror is drawing to a close. And don't worry, the big one is coming: Your graduation." "Are you okay?" " I broke the crayon." "Some people call me a terrorist. I consider myself a teacher. America, ready for another lesson? In 1864, in Sand Creek, Colorado, the US military waited until the friendly Cheyenne braves had all gone hunting, waited to attack and slaughter the families left behind and claim their land. 39 hours ago, the Ali Al Salem Air Base in Kuwait was attacked. I...I...I did that. A quaint military church filled with wives and children, of course. The soldiers were out on manoeuvres. The braves were away. President Ellis, you continue to resist my attempts to educate you, sir. And now, you’ve missed me again. You know who I am, you don’t know where I am, and you’ll never see me coming." " I'm coming! I got you!" "It's okay, it was the plant! It's a glitch in my work." "What are you? You're a decoy, a double, right? " "What, you mean an understudy? No, certainly not! Don't hurt the face, I'm an actor! " " You got a minute to live. Fill it with words." "It's just a role." " OLE, OLE- OLE- OLE! " [sports chant] "How did you get out of the wormhole? " "Is this the forehead of security? " "Think about it. Six dead. Only five shadows." " Yeah, people said these shadows are like the marks of souls going to heaven. Except the bomb guy. He went to hell, on account of he didn't get a shadow. That's why there's only five. " "You buy that?" " It's what everyone says." "It's just you and me. And on the off-chance you're a man, here's my home address: 10880 Malibu Point, 90265. I'll leave the door unlocked. " "A famous man once said, "We create our own demons." Who said that? What does that even mean? Didn't matter. I said it 'cause he said it. So now, he was famous and it was basically said by two well-known guys. I don't... uhh... I'm gonna start again. Let's track this from the beginning. "Sir, I have an update from Malibu. The cranes have finally arrived and the cellar doors are being cleared as we speak." "My mom's at work and Dad went to 7-11 to get scratchers. I guess he won because that was six years ago." "You're a mechanic, right?" "Right." "You said so." "Yes, I did." "Why don't you just build something?" " You know, and thank you, by the way, for listening. But something about just getting it off my chest and putting it out there in the atmosphere instead of holding this in. I mean, this is what gets people sick, you know. Wow. I had no idea you were such a good listener. To be able to share all my intimate thoughts, my experiences with someone, it just cuts the weight of it in half, you know. It's like a snake swallowing its own tail. Everything comes full circle. And - and the fact that you've been able to help me process... " "So?" "You with me?" "I was, yeah. Where – we were at, uh –" "Actively napping?" "I – I was – I – I – I drifted." "Where did I lose you?" " Elevator in Switzerland." "So you heard none of it?" " I'm sorry. I'm not that kind of doctor. I'm not a therapist. It's not my training." "Is it that time?" "The House Party Protocol, sir?" "Correct." "Here's what I need... A laptop, a digital watch, a cell phone, the pneumatic actuator from your bazooka over there, a map of town, a big spring, and a tuna fish sandwich." " Admit it, you need me. We're connected." " What I need is for you to go home, be with your mom, keep your trap shut, guard the suit, and stay connected to the telephone, 'cause if I call you, you better pick up." " I've got a lot of apologies to make and not a lot of time, so... first off. I'm so sorry I put you in harm's way. That was selfish and stupid and it won't happen again. Also, it's Christmas time. The rabbit's too big. Done. Sorry. And I'm sorry in advance because... I can't come home yet. I need to find this guy. You gotta stay safe. That's all I know. I just stole a poncho from a wooden Indian." "Nice potato gun. Barrel's a little long. Between that and the wide gauge, it's going to diminish your FPS. And now you're out of ammo." "What's that thing on your chest?" "It's a... electromagnet. You should know. You've got a box of them right here." "Remember that game, Barrel of Monkeys? This is how it is: we got to catch all the monkeys! "
  22. If you don't hear from me for a few days, it will mean my PC finally keeled over before I had a chance to replace it. Meanwhile, we're finishing this round, let's see....
