  1. *checks* It does indeed. My browser security settings tripped me up there. Somehow, it let me in to Matthew, but nothing else, until I made some changes. You recall correctly. You probably recall my surprise upon hearing another version used the italics. It was later that I read a book that gave some information on a number of versions. It looked like they were trying to say the NIV was tops, but they highlighted all the things I wanted in a paper Bible- and they all applied to the NASB but not all to the NIV. The only things I don't like about the NASB: A) It refuses to call itself a "version", and I find that pretentious B) it's not public domain, so there's limits on where and how it can be found Those don't stop me from buying copies or using it online, I use it despite disliking those aspects.

  3. It is "TAXI." Personally, I didn't think the clue was that good, but ok, I can be a hard critic on my own stuff. Elaine Nardo:"I'm only going to be working here part-time. I'm not really a taxi driver." Alex Rieger: "Oh yeah, I know. We're all part-time here. You see that guy over there? Now, he's an actor. The guy on the phone, he's a prize fighter. This lady over here, she's a beautician. The man behind her, he's a writer. Me? I'm a cab driver. I'm the only cab driver in this place."
  4. " If I get any trouble outta you guys, I'm gonna integrate this jail." "If you win this case, justice will prevail, and if you lose, justice will also prevail. Now that is a strange case." "I need a drink." "At three o'clock in the afternoon? What would your wife think?" "I'm my own man, Lucien. I drink when I want to." "When did she leave town?" "This morning." "Our society cannot condone men who take the law into their own hands."
  5. According to one character in this series' pilot, he was the only person who actually admitted to his job- all his coworkers claimed they were really all in other professions, but worked with him to pay the bills until their careers took off.
  6. [posted in the wrong thread, and reposted in the correct thread...]
  7. So it's Raf's turn, even though we started chatting afterwards.
  8. Raf, you're thinking of the NASB-The New American Standard Bible (version.) Last I heard, the Bibles that add the italics for that are the KJV, New KJV, and the NASB, and the JW's "New Kingdom Translation" version uses brackets to serve the same purpose. Of those, I think the NASB would serve a modern audience best. The KJV's language is 500 years old, and the phraseology is archaic. That's fine for us Shakespeare fans, but for everyone else? A source independent of twi and ex-twi groups really talked up the NASB, and I've found it's the version I recommend now. ================ As for my opinion on how the REV renders John 11, I can't form one because they posted Matthew but not John online. So, their version is not available. Unless this was some sort of attempt to boost sales of the book, we're at an impasse about anything except Matthew.

  10. Well, Team Knight Rider and M.A.S.K. didn't use a family. Was this something like "the Thunderbirds"?
  11. Ferris Buehler's Day Off Ben Stein The Mask
  12. The "John Spartan" I know was Stallone as "the Demolition Man."
  13. " If I get any trouble outta you guys, I'm gonna integrate this jail." "If you win this case, justice will prevail, and if you lose, justice will also prevail. Now that is a strange case."
  14. "I gonna take two weeks Gonna have a fine vacation."
  15. I liked it better with "Let's Go Crazy" in the mix. "Purple Rain."
  16. It reminded me of Eddie "Hudson" Hawk, also. It would help if I'd seen the "Mod Squad" movie, because "Link" might have been "Lincoln Hawk." *wild swing* Omar Epps?????
  17. Yes, I rattled that list off from memory. Charlie's had cameos since then. He was in the 3-part "Tales of the Green Lantern Corps" for a busy panel, and he's been assigned a sector with no life-forms at one point. He's had a few short stories, one in that sector. "Whatever Happened to Charlie Vicker?" showed him after Hal Jordan/Parallax depowered the GL Corps. Charlie was on a planet with a despot. He was using his acting skills to put on plays that inspired the natives to rebel. Lately, of course, he came back when the Corps was revived. With twice as many GLs now as when there were 3600, they had to grab every surviving veteran they could convince to return. Corey Reynolds pitched the idea of a trilogy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Lantern_(film) "Actor-writer Corey Reynolds, a comic book fan of the John Stewart character, pitched Warner Bros. an idea for a trilogy, with him starring as John Stewart and performing screenwriting duties. Reynolds intended to introduce Hal Jordan, the Green Lantern Corps and Justice League in possible sequels."
  18. I thought I'd written out Audrey Hepburn's name. That's funny.
  19. So much for MRAP not having an "intent to judge." That had nothing to do with what Rocky posted. He posted some academic information which could be some good talking points, and some people will read them for themselves. I don't know what you HOPED to find in his post, but it sounded more like if it wasn't some sort of sermon, it was wrong in your eyes. That's not how it works here. (Or in most of life.)
  20. Yes, but I would ask you write it as one word ("WordWolf") and I would capitalize "The Word.") The vast majority of Christians who have been through here have moved on with their lives-which is why I consider their exits "success stories." Also, if you want to discuss "The Word", you'll want to do it more here in "Doctrinal" because the fora as a whole is NOT meant as any sort of Christian anything. It's here so people can recover from twi or learn about twi so they don't NEED to get in, get out, and recover. To limit those discussions to Christians would limit their usefulness. Also, we have a long history of people who show up and immediately begin proselytizing. That never seems to go well. There's still a little interest. "About the Way", in particular, will be where you find posters who "want to bitch about the old times." So, if you don't want to, don't hang out there. "Doctrinal" is where you'd want to try. People don't come here for that-they leave twi and the GSC for that. Some people here are still open to it-they just don't come here for it. Ever consider the possibility that you've already passed judgement before announcing you're not here to judge?
  21. I'll recap my thoughts briefly for the new guy, because I'm going to take the high road here. He, of course, is free to claim I'm not. Ok... We were all TOLD that what you were/are doing is the same thing that's in the Bible. Personally, I believe the thing in the Bible (I call it "Biblical SIT") was genuine, really happened, and was from God. (Some people disagree, but that's really a separate issue.) It describes something specific. Personally, I believe that there's overwhelming evidence that the thing that's done now (I call it "modern SIT") is completely different, and is a cheap counterfeit that anyone can be taught to do- and are, in acting classes every semester. It's CLAIMED that it's the same thing I mentioned before ("Biblical SIT") but the main resemblance is that people keep SAYING it's the same thing and they SAY it's resembling the other. If the "Biblical SIT" is "available" now, I don't know. I am confident I haven't seen it yet. I am confident I was never taught it. If it IS possible now, then getting fixated on a cheap imitation is a sure way to miss the real thing. If it is NOT possible now, getting fixated on a cheap imitation will waste your time and can give God a black eye because people lose confidence in the genuine if they can't distinguish between it and counterfeits. We're all (all positions) saying that what we were taught was "real" (it happened.) We disagree as to whether the label of the Pentecost thing is correct in describing the modern thing. So, is it "really" the Pentecost thing? Evidence examined all points to "no." Anecdotes are offered to claim it's "yes", but if that's the best one can offer, don't be surprised if nobody buys it. The other part is people getting ranty and claiming that to claim the modern thing is not the same as the Pentecost thing are casting doubt categorically on God and the Bible. No. My faith is in God, my faith is NOT in cheap fakes offered by people who CLAIM he's endorsing his actions. (Obviously, there are people who disagree with me on having faith in God-but that is not required to disagree with the modern practice of so-called "speaking in tongues." I occasionally DO still do the so-called "speaking in tongues" silently. I do it as a mental focus and am fully aware it's me doing it. I might do it more if I ever participate in another acting class.
  22. Naked Gun 2 1/2-the Smell of Fear Leslie Nielsen Airplane 2-the Sequel
  23. Ok, this is a proper triple (with three titles), but you'll see I cheated in how I linked them. In this movie, an impromptu fashion shoot at a book store brings about a new fashion model discovery in the shop clerk. She gets involved with an FBI agent willing to do anything to catch the criminal who killed his son- not even refusing a radical operation to change his own appearance. He retires after his desperate last case and enlists in the Navy, trying to graduate Navy Flight school with her help. Stars include Audrey and Fred Astaire, Nicolas Cage, John Woo directing, and Lou Gossett Jr playing a supporting role opposite Debra Winger.
