Bumped up for those interested in re-discussing this.

Sounds like "Love, American Style." I'll be back by Saturday morning, if not sooner. Feel free to take it if you can't wait that long.

That's it.

....and there's no distinct pattern of WHICH posters get respect. Some of the younger, not-in-long posters get as much respect-or more- than some posters who were all over the programs long ago. Personally, I like anonymity. I prefer to rely on my own communications and any facts I can bring to the table rather than any credentials I can bring to the table.

"Masquerading as a man with a reason. My charade is the event of the season And if I claim to be a wise man, Well, it surely means that I don't know." (I'll be out of reach for a day, so if you're patient, I'll be back Thursday afternoon.)

I don't have time to get into this now. However, here's the verses for reference. ============================= John 21:12-19 (NASB) 12 Jesus *said to them, “Come and have breakfast.” None of the disciples ventured to question Him, “Who are You?” knowing that it was the Lord. 13 Jesus came and took the bread and *gave it to them, and the fish likewise. 14 This is now the third time that Jesus was manifested to the disciples, after He was raised from the dead. 15 So when they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you love Me more than these?” He *said to Him, “Yes, Lord; You know that I love You.” He said to him, “Tend My lambs.” 16 He said to him again a second time, “Simon, son of John, do you love Me?” He said to Him, “Yes, Lord; You know that I love You.” He said to him, “Shepherd My sheep.” 17 He said to him the third time, “Simon, son of John, do you love Me?” Peter was grieved because He said to him the third time, “Do you love Me?” And he said to Him, “Lord, You know all things; You know that I love You.” Jesus said to him, “Tend My sheep. 18 Truly, truly, I say to you, when you were younger, you used to gird yourself and walk wherever you wished; but when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands and someone else will gird you, and bring you where you do not wish to go.” 19 Now this He said, signifying by what kind of death he would glorify God. And when He had spoken this, He said to him, “Follow Me!” ==================================== John 12:12-19 (KJV) 12 Jesus saith unto them, Come and dine. And none of the disciples durst ask him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord. 13 Jesus then cometh, and taketh bread, and giveth them, and fish likewise. 14 This is now the third time that Jesus shewed himself to his disciples, after that he was risen from the dead. 15 So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs. 16 He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep. 17 He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep. 18 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou girdest thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldest not. 19 This spake he, signifying by what death he should glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him, Follow me. ============================= 12 Jesus said to them, “Come and have breakfast.” None of the disciples dared ask him, “Who are you?” They knew it was the Lord. 13 Jesus came, took the bread and gave it to them, and did the same with the fish. 14 This was now the third time Jesus appeared to his disciples after he was raised from the dead. 15 When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?” “Yes, Lord,” he said, “you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Feed my lambs.” 16 Again Jesus said, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” He answered, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Take care of my sheep.” 17 The third time he said to him, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, “Do you love me?” He said, “Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Feed my sheep. 18 Very truly I tell you, when you were younger you dressed yourself and went where you wanted; but when you are old you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go.” 19 Jesus said this to indicate the kind of death by which Peter would glorify God. Then he said to him, “Follow me!” =================================

Certainly no names, but yes, let's not get into him or anyone else who posted some rather "controversial" posts. =================== What did I change position on, TLC? The most blatant "I changed my mind because of this thread" stuff was probably the result of the "Speaking in Tongues" threads. But really, we're way off-topic. Ask me and I can find some links to those threads.

For the other, "A Fish Tale" was the name for the US release. Odd, since the title was "Help, I'm a Fish!" from when it was made and released in Denmark.

Knowing how this thread goes, probably something from the 50s or 60s.

Ok, the lightbulb finally lit. "Roam", by the B-52s.

At least, I'd agree with you on that. I've ended up changing my position on a number of things largely because discussions here showed too many things on the other side, and mostly conviction on the side I preferred. (Ask me and I'll post examples.) Mind you, they weren't what I consider the biggest issues- the existence of God, salvation, and so on- but you might have come to the same conclusions based on the same discussions. (They're still here as threads.) BTW, there's a LOT of disagreement here, so the idea that there's a "party line" is more of an idea and a perception than a reality. Except almost all the current posters agree about the harm that vpw did, and that it was due to his freewill decisions to do the wrong things for his own benefit that the harm existed. You missed the poster who elevated vpw's materials above the Bible and said THAT had the key to salvation. Now, HE really got static.

It's hard to take you seriously when you address a serious subject like authorship of the books of the Bible, and dismiss it with a glib comment and then a change of subject. You're getting people with VERY different opinions and points of view, who DISagree with each other on many of the most fundamental points, to start agreeing that you're ducking issues and pretending you're not. Ever consider that all of them found common ground on this because they're all correct?

"Swordfish?"

I don't think Booster KNOWS that. It was a plot-point that time travelers who know your origin can try to go back and erase you. I liked the "Welcome Back Kotter" rerun on TV. I personally would have liked to have seen a woman spinning in place with a light-flash obscuring her instead! DC has the rights to that one, I think... While we watched, I accompanied the Jax/Stein disagreement with "I ain't getting on no plane, Hannibal!" when he collapsed. Jax didn't see it coming, but we did. I saw it by the time the glasses were raised- Mrs Wolf expected it sooner. Mrs Wolf thinks the Dr Who references are too transparent, but then, she's a Whovian. Ok, Ray doesn't always walk around with the armor, but can't he walk around carrying SOME gadget in case of trouble? (BTW, other than 1 Agent Carter, we're caught up on TV at this moment, and I'm trying to fill in my Marvel movie holes- which should be done when I finish 'Winter Soldier.' We just watched "Ant-Man" and I caught "Thor 2" and began Cap 2, I just saw the mention of Dr Strange.)

Go ahead, George.

"Doctor Strangelove?" It certainly sounds like someone who learned to stop worrying and love the bomb....

That line of "reasoning" was what was used to belittle abortion, and was useful when trying to pressure a woman to have an abortion to remain in a program. The bludgeon that was used on her was the idea that she made a commitment to God Almighty when she agreed to enter the program, and to back out was to wuss out on God Almighty, and a later bludgeon was that people who did that were dung and trash and worthless.

It's a short hop between "funny" and "mean." This thread may have hopped across already.

The GSC STILL has posters representing a variety of positions, often contradicting each other. When one begins to think it's all in agreement, another look, much slower, is warranted.

Yes. Mrs Wolf didn't post the answer. She did, however, begin saying "BANANA!" in a Minion imitation when I posted the first quotes.

" Oh Walter, look, these adorable little freaks are headed to Orlando too!" "You're going to Villain-Con, aren't ya?" "Villain-Con!" "For me? Aww." "Si, para tu. Bye-bye!" "Work for me, and all this will be yours: respect, power..." "Banana!" "...Banana!"

That's not what it said. That said-and some of us know this from lots of places- that people were wrongly taught-as children, in school, and on television, and in books- that people of Columbus' time thought the world was flat. (It's possible that some uneducated peasants who didn't work at sea thought that, but educated people and people who worked on ships knew better, either by correct education, or by the evidence at sea.) So, some people, in 1960 and even today, think that the common folks, and the sailors, and the educated/nobility of Columbus' time thought the Earth was flat. They did not. Back in the days of the Greek Empire, there was even someone who used mathematics to calculate almost precisely the circumference of the Earth, (Eratosthenes) that is, how far around the Earth's surface is. You are free to believe whatever you wish. When you bring those beliefs into discussion, however, you run the risk of having people challenge or refute those beliefs, or call for you to support them with some evidence. If you don't want to get into that type of discussion, you might not want to introduce those ideas into conversations of one type or another. I leave a lot of my beliefs at the door, even ones I can support very well, just because I feel no need to "get into it" about them all the time. I'm sure other posters do the same. So, you're free to believe what you want, or post what you want, but others are free to post what they want also, so don't be surprised if your posts are challenged or refuted.
