The thing is, while some of the people who were leaders in twi at some point are still alive, this can be necessary because some of them are spreading lies. A generation later, this becomes a lesser problem but still exists. This "vpw said" business carries weight if people think vpw was an exceptional Christian rather than the lying, lukewarm dirtbag he actually was. A few people are still teaching their kids this, but this problem self-corrects over time, with the numbers of adherents to the vpw delusion decreasing exponentially. Worldwide, now, the numbers are tiny, and they drop further every decade, and eventually will just be a handful of adults scattered around the USA who were taught that vpw was some Superman and to shun other Christians. Either they'll die out completely, or they'll discover the truth and drift away from vpw apologetics. I mean, we've had vpw apologists here before. Some have died due to old age, and at least one joined a mainstream religion that vpw used to badmouth. The process has been going on for decades, and will continue. I don't know if there will ever be a time with ZERO wierwillists, but it's not ridiculous to imagine it will be down to less than one living-room full before I pass away from old age. BTW, beginning thinkers don't need JJ to recommend something weighty and logical. They need something simple and clear. They need years to work up to "scholarly."

"Order, order. God^&%&it, I said "order". " Y'know, Nietzsche says: "Out of chaos comes order." " "Well, that's the end of this suit." "Yankee bean soup, cole slaw, and tuna surprise. " "We have to protect our phoney baloney jobs here, gentlemen! We must do something about this immediately! Immediately! Immediately!" ""I'd better sit up." ["Need any help?" "Oh... all I can get." ""Hey, maybe you should eat somethin' first." "No thanks, food makes me sick." This movie actually predicted something- it referenced something that didn't happen until much later in the shooting (it predicted a lawsuit.)

We saw the end of the Flash season. We had a few gripes. 1) Several episodes ago, Cicada 1 gave consent for treatment to the kid. Since then, we complained how nobody administered it. Morally and legally, they fulfilled the requirements for treatment. 2) Mrs Wolf is a Whovian, and thinks a lot about time travel. We both blame the writers for bad writing. If a timeline is changed, then it changes from the point of divergence, So, it should have changed from the present forward, with the new timeline overwriting it. Come on. Thawne was in prison for decades, without the CD to help imprison him. In THAT timeline, there would be different measures to hold him. (I knew they wouldn't do it, but I was hoping for someone to be waiting to inject "the cure" in the new future.) Instead, in the new future, there was nothing whatsoever that should have held him at all. I can accept "their new measures weren't enough" but not "and the prison had no measures in place to hold him, but he was there anyway." 3) Joe seems to be the only one who's aware that they may encounter XS again, in some other way. In the meantime, how about starting her existence in the present? Take a weekend off with some takeout food and Barry White albums, Barry and Iris! 4) If there was a Monitor in that episode, I missed them. What scene should I check? 5) I think I'll jump ahead and just watch the Supergirl season finale. We'll probably watch the LOT one this weekend, and I'll watch the Arrow one during the hiatus, before returning to Black Lightning.

I'll ask Mrs Wolf tomorrow. She doesn't know a lot of songs by their lyrics, but a lot of those tend to be older songs than I like.

You're older than me and Raf. While some of the newer posters are younger than us, no regulars seem to be younger than us. Of course, I could be wrong, as we're not that young, either.

This movie is not "Gone in 60 Seconds." ;)

It's fine, we're socializing here. :) You WANT some yelling? Well, this is the right board, and I'm sure you can find the posters best suited to help you there, with little trouble! :)

Yes, that was it. I don't know why the older posters missed it.

""I'd better sit up." ["Need any help?" "Oh... all I can get." ""Hey, maybe you should eat somethin' first." "No thanks, food makes me sick."

I'm glad you're benefiting from the posts. Personally, I think it's better to post with a bit more kindness, as it is friendlier for the readers who don't post here. The usual argument against that includes people who say that there's nobody doing that- and I obviously can't prove they do because they don't post! :) I'm glad you've been helped when you weren't posting, and also now that you are. There's an old poem I heard about in twi. It sums up why I keep hoping new people find us and read around the forums. The Bridge Builder By Will Allen Dromgoole An old man going a lone highway, Came, at the evening cold and gray, To a chasm vast and deep and wide. Through which was flowing a sullen tide The old man crossed in the twilight dim, The sullen stream had no fear for him; But he turned when safe on the other side And built a bridge to span the tide. “Old man,” said a fellow pilgrim near, “You are wasting your strength with building here; Your journey will end with the ending day, You never again will pass this way; You’ve crossed the chasm, deep and wide, Why build this bridge at evening tide?” The builder lifted his old gray head; “Good friend, in the path I have come,” he said, “There followed after me to-day A youth whose feet must pass this way. This chasm that has been as naught to me To that fair-haired youth may a pitfall be; He, too, must cross in the twilight dim; Good friend, I am building this bridge for him.”

"Order, order. God^&%&it, I said "order". " Y'know, Nietzsche says: "Out of chaos comes order." " "Well, that's the end of this suit." "Yankee bean soup, cole slaw, and tuna surprise. " "We have to protect our phoney baloney jobs here, gentlemen! We must do something about this immediately! Immediately! Immediately!"

"You'll come running back (said you would baby) You'll come running back (I said so many times before) You'll come running back to me." ""But just wait and see You'll come running back (I won't have to worry no more) You'll come running back (spend the rest of my life with you, baby) You'll come running back to me Go ahead, go ahead and light up the town."

This was the recently-ended show, "the Big Bang Theory." I'm sorry to see it end, but it had to end sometime, and it ended on a good note. As Raf once pointed out about a different show, it will live on in reruns anyway.

Next song. "You'll come running back (said you would baby) You'll come running back (I said so many times before) You'll come running back to me."

"Order, order. God^&%&it, I said "order". " Y'know, Nietzsche says: "Out of chaos comes order." " "Well, that's the end of this suit."

Hm. I have a copy of that movie on DVD, sitting on a shelf. I'm waiting for the right mood to play it. But just mentioning it puts me in the right time-frame. We're talking an 80s flick here. Ok, the song is "Rhythm of the Night." The artist was a De Barge, so I'm going with El De Barge. (The movie I meant was "the Last Dragon", featuring Taimok as "Bruce Leroy", and Sho Nuff, the self-appointed Shogun of Harlem.) (I met Taimok once, when a friend was ruining a shoot of one of his movies. I swear it's true. I had 2 young brothers tagging along with me in lower Manhattan, and we were having trouble looking for the uptown entrance for a station. We passed an alley, and saw a guy holding a tied woman, with her looking bruised, and him holding a gun to her head. I began to move us faster at the sight of the gun, and kept us moving when I saw the film camera rolling. I was thinking we might actually make the final cut since we were doing the obvious. One brother decided to stop and stand completely still, and ruined the shot. Darned if I know where the autograph went, but he signed one for each of us since I had paper. Taimok, not the kid.) ( I remember the line the gunman said, but to this day, I don't know if the movie was ever released. )

It's also not "Good Time", by INXS and Jimmy Barnes (off the "Lost Boys" soundtrack.) It sounds familiar, but I just can't place it yet.

She should have followed up with that specialist in Austin.

Some of those may sound a bit familiar, but nothing's springing to mind. Mrs Wolf couldn't answer it yet, either.

I can't get the music to play in my head yet, so I'm stuck for now.

Correct, but I thought you'd pause and let someone else take it. No problem, but it's your turn. :)

In case you need to be quoted to get a response, I'm quoting you. :)
