Sean Connery Avengers Uma Thurman

Yeah, we're good. BTW, "Marrakesh Express" is fairly well-known, so it was on us for not recognizing it. Myself, I know the tune and the chorus, but didn't know the rest of the song despite sufficient airplay. THIS song has gotten a LOT more airplay. It's also on the artists' "Greatest Hits". So, it shouldn't be TOO hard to recognize. (Unless some younguns show up and wonder if we're going to post any Rob Zombie or something.)

So, who is it that really draws "First Blood" in the book?

The show's theme song was instrumental, but an actor on the show did write words for the music. Here's the lyrics: "So you think that you've got troubles? Well, trouble's a bubble So tell old Mr. Trouble to get lost! Why not hold your head up high and Stop cryin', start tryin' And don't forget to keep your fingers crossed. When you find the joy of livin' Is lovin' and givin' You'll be there when the winning dice are tossed. A smile is just a frown that's turned upside down So smile, and that frown will defrost. And don't forget to keep your fingers crossed " This show ran for 5 years and got 15 Emmys. TV Guide rated it #13 on Greatest Shows of All Time, with one of its episodes ranking #8 on their Best Episodes of All Time. The 1.0 version of the show, an unsuccessful pilot, was titled "Head of the Family." Jamie Farr appeared 4 times playing a character in season 1.

BTW, the current song is definitely not "Witchy Woman." :)

I can look up anything I want, anytime I want. If I try to answer a round in a thread based on looking something up, however, that's a different thing entirely- THAT is cheating. (I also think it's fair to ask Mrs Wolf if I think she knows something, but she already knows that I do NOT want HER looking it up because that would be the same cheating. And if she gets the answer, I credit her with answering it since she doesn't log in here that much. It's a standard practice here that the person giving the clues should look things up to give correct clues. However, no guesser should look them up. If a guesser looks it up, he has given up answering and disqualified himself from answering. I usually announce when I do that, since that means I can't try and answer the round anymore. As for "googling in 3 days", that's for the Triple Movie Links thread, since we go from link to link. Other threads just get another round going.

"Have you heard of this guy" is not doctrinal, but "Have you heard of this guy who was big in promoting this doctrinal practice" is doctrinal, as is any discussion of "this guy" because it's not going to be about where he grew up or something, but rather about his doctrinal practice.

FYI, vpw (victor paul wierwille) organized twi (the way international) to run at a profit at every level- money was a big motivator for him privately, although he'd never admit it if asked. When he wanted a training program, he didn't waste any money on training programs, he guessed he could fake it- so he did. He had small cells set up for people to live in (tiny dorm rooms replaced shared RVs, although twi has both now) and retaught all the twi classes, and added lots of physical labor (an unpaid labor force that actually paid HIM!). There was some other stuff occasionally dropped in. Since vpw had no experience in training programs, leadership programs, or anything related, don't expect they learned much about REAL leadership. What they did have official training in... One of the Corps people took the Dale Carnegie Sales training course. vpw plagiarized ALL the content and retaught it to the corps. No, he did not pay their legally-mandated licensing fee for their copyrighted materials. No, he did not get them any OTHER training. They were a trained SALES FORCE, to sell twi and its classes to the masses. But, of course, that was never STATED. It's just what was done. What was stated was always something more in keeping with Biblical Christianity. However, as vpw himself said, if you take a jar of pickles, and you label it "apple butter", that doesn't change the pickles on the inside. So, running a profit with the Corps. Since he began by asking lots of money from broke young people, he instituted a system to get them to pool their money. Each Corps candidate had to beg others in twi for a pledge of money to pay their tuitiion. "Spiritual partners" or "Corps Sponsors", they were called, rather than "pigeons." Yes, the ROA was an annual event, eventually relocated to HQ. It welcomed the returning WOWs at the beginning, sent off the new WOWs at the end, and in between had music and stuff. There was official stuff, but the unofficial, just meeting people and so on, was usually better than the official stuff. The WOWs were "Word Over the World Ambassadors", in effect the missionary program. Usually, they were sent for a year to another location in the US, in groups of 4, to run pfal classes and run home fellowships that, hopefully, would continue after they left a few months later. (Sometimes it was another country, but that was rare.) The forum "GREASESPOT 101" has threads that explain all the jargon, at least in a basic way.

The lyrics were NOT used on the show. The show used an instrumental theme, for which someone wrote lyrics that did not actually appear in the show.

*checks* I've neither heard of this song nor its artist before.

Can we get a moderator to airlift this doctrinal discussion and drop it off in Doctrinal?

As to the thread, I expected it to go to Doctrinal, I mentioned Doctrinal as the place to discuss the subject, in fact, and suggested starting a new thread there- but the same thread could just be moved. As for the family thing, that's a shame. I also can't see eye-to-eye with anything like what they said. I thought that the moment of reflection during the invocation was a fair way to cover equal time, since that can be done respectfully and reverently, which, I imagine, is how an invocation like that is supposed to go no matter who makes it. Then again, it should be flexible enough to cover, say, Hindu, Muslim, Jainist, etc as well as Humanist, etc. Either that or show flexibility by dropping the formal prayer and just getting to the work for which they were elected.

I think a discussion of "why healings and miracles" and/or why not could make for an interesting discussion in Doctrinal. (That's no guarantee it WOULD, but it might make for one.)

Here's the lyrics to this show's theme song: "So you think that you've got troubles? Well, trouble's a bubble So tell old Mr. Trouble to get lost! Why not hold your head up high and Stop cryin', start tryin' And don't forget to keep your fingers crossed. When you find the joy of livin' Is lovin' and givin' You'll be there when the winning dice are tossed. A smile is just a frown that's turned upside down So smile, and that frown will defrost. And don't forget to keep your fingers crossed "

So, the title is really a misnomer, if he neither kills before anyone else, nor at all?

A Time to Kill Samuel L. Jackson Avengers- Infinity War

(Actually, it was how God provided for THE OTHER GUY. I was the guy who offered him a ride and a place to stay when he needed it.)

Yes. IF the Bible is right, its SIT, Interpretation and prophecy are supernatural. If it IS right, that's no guarantee what we taught was the same thing- if not, there's NO reason to think it IS supernatural. If the Bible is wrong, then there's no reason to think that the Bible's version or the twi version are supernatural. All of that pending further information. I mean, if it turned out that the Bible was wrong but there was some modern thing that was supernatural ANYWAY, it would remain to be seen that it was- and that would take quite a bit of proof in its corner, not just convictions.

It's old news that the splinters often act as airlocks. People jump from twi to a splinter, realize there's life outside twi, then realize there's life outside the splinters and that they can do better, so they jump from the splinter to anything else, whether another Christian group or denomination, or another religion, or another philosophy, or supposedly nothing at all, depending on their personal inclinations.

Yes. I didn't realize we covered him so recently. Human should have taken it when he had the chance.

Yes, and written they way their advertised it- so, written the way I liked to pronounce it when it hit the theaters- "Star The Empire Strikes Back Wars."

Mainly, I posted links to the other discussions. If they want to follow up on the mundane practice of vocalizing, or discuss the Bible on it, or approach it skeptically, they can follow the links to the other discussions and revive whichever one they want to participate in.

I understood what they SAID just fine. They didn't address my pain at all. In fact, they had me sit up in the ER to take chest x-rays, even though I was partly in shock and unable to sit still for the x-rays because I was in so much pain. (They had to try more than once, and I recall the tech sounding indignant at having to work for it and insisting I sit up and sit still, and I remember the pain- which cut through the shock enough that I recall the tech.) After my processing, they did nothing for the pain. When I proved unable to sleep by lying completely still on my back in a room where babies cried every 2 hours and people came about every 2 hours to take a blood sample. they allowed me up to 3 shots so I could sleep. I was allowed up to 3 because they were potentially addictive, so I supposedly had the option not to take all 3. The first night, I had one and slept. The 2nd night, I had the 2nd at the same time and slept. The 3rd night, my body had the idea and was falling asleep by itself without any request for a shot. I was woken up by a nurse giving me the shot I neither requested nor needed, and watching a family member just sorta stare blankly rather than tell them to back off. That's the entire amount of "pain management" I had in the place. I had to handle the rest myself. My broken ribs were "treated" by leaving them alone and letting them knit entirely by themselves- which they did. My head injury was watched and someone checked that I didn't sound like I'd lost 100 IQ points or something. My spinal injury (the actual first injury) was completely ignored, and was completely untreated. (That had consequences that dogged me for DECADES, and I was of the impression I had head injuries that were permanent and untreatable. No, almost all of it was spinal injuries that were COMPLETELY treatable- and would have been paid for by the responsible party if anyone had bothered to check.) My "incentive spirometry" was definitely compromised by a lot of pain. I was told to do it and ignore the pain. I was definitely told there was already an EXISTING problem with a build-up in my lungs that was causing pneumonia, caused by shallow breathing and treatable by non-shallow breathing. My ambulation was impaired by extensive spinal misalignment, which threw my sense of balance off greatly. With lots of practice, I learned to compensate for the loss of equilibrium and use my sense of sight more to determine balance. One year of chiropractic treatments many years later, and the results were dramatic. (I felt 10 years younger and healthier.) Oh, when I wanted to try to walk, I wanted some kind of stick I could ground to balance myself if I felt dizzy and had to stand still. The hospital refused to OK that, and my family refused to get something. Imagine my surprise years later when I found out I could freaking go into any good pharmacy and buy a stick cheaply, with some even selling foldable things. My biggest concern- which slowed my walking- was falling down and re-injuring my ribs. Somehow, nobody seemed to think this was a credible risk. (Except my roommate, who lent me a crutch so I could carry it around and plant it as soon as I felt dizzy, so I could actually practice walking again.) Incentive to getting out, to me, was more a matter of "I have to get well enough to get out before these stooges injure me further" than anything else. If that was the intent of the care, then it succeeded, but I think that was an unintended side-effect. For me, the moral of this story is that city hospitals (and especially Jacobi Hospital) are just plain awful places if you really care about the person receiving treatment. I've heard other horror stories about other city hospitals from people who were forced to spend time in them.

A) He mixed the topics, I responded briefly to his post. Responding briefly to YOUR post: B) IF the Bible is actually correct, the things in I Corinthians called "interpretation" (of tongues) and "prophecy" are, apparently, supernatural, as is the tongue. The thing twi'ers were taught was the same thing mainly resembles it in being told "this is the same thing" and people believing it's the same thing. (ThingS, but you know what I mean.) Some threads we discussed this on.... One side-thread on "what is language" - https://www.greasespotcafe.com/ipb/topic/24206-what-is-language/ One side-thread on "free vocalization" (a non-supernatural/ mundane practice actors do) https://www.greasespotcafe.com/ipb/topic/23550-free-vocalization/ This one started with links to all the other threads: Another discussion on SIT https://www.greasespotcafe.com/ipb/topic/24434-another-discussion-on-sit-and-the-bible/ And several of those are in Doctrinal, one in Questioning Faith, and 2 in About the Way. If anyone wants to discuss something relevant, they should pick the thread that it's relevant TO and revive the thread. (The GSC doesn't mind "necroíng" a thread if it's relevant.)

The lack of consulting anyone at the hospital- no doctor, no clerk with access to the records, no nurse who treated the patient- makes this newspaper article of the same caliber as the articles in the "Weekly World News" about Batboy. All unconfirmed quotes, all accounts of what someone said, with no attempts to find out if they're mistaken, lying, deluded, etc. IIRC, my high school newspaper was held to better standards- I know my college newspaper was.
