Perhaps it's accidental humor, but why in the world are those 2 particular cowboys interested in beavers in the first place?

It's also a matter of perception. In this case, he didn't actually READ the post, so it's not even an INFORMED perception. He looked, saw a few paragraphs, and declared them "boring" regardless of content. For him in particular, the content would have been interesting and controversial.

And you phrased it correctly. IF-> THEN IF yelling helps an athlete, THEN... But yelling doesn't help athletes in general. It is common for coaches to yell at athletes, but that doesn't mean it actually HELPS the athletes. The coaches were yelled at when they were athletes, so they yell because that's what was done for them. But we know better now. It would be like doctors only doing the medical procedures that were popular when they were studying and never advancing medicine..and teaching the next generation of doctors to do the same. I'm thankful doctors don't do that, even though coaches operate that way in general. BTW, not every coach yells, and it's not common in EVERY sport. It is common in US college football. And before you say it, I'm not suggesting the opposite extreme is any better- New Age-y cuddles for teams where athletes learn NOT to compete are as bad in a different dimension. A stern coach doesn't have to yell and scream, and doesn't have to blow off athletes getting injured. Then there's the separate issue of vpw and lcm inventing the whole "we're athletes now" thing out of maybe 1/2 a dozen verses isolated from their contexts. So, we're not athletes in the first place. All lcm taught was what he'd learned- and all he'd really retained was what he'd learned on the football field, and what he'd learned from vpw- who felt free to yell at people with neither preamble nor provocation. So, he wasn't yelling for any Christian reasons, he did it because it was all he knew. As we've already discussed before, yelling and especially screaming isn't about good management, it's about poor impulse control in the screamer.

"I'll have what she's having!"

"You're so sweet. You're so fine. I want you all and everything Just to be mine 'Cos you're my baby 'Cos you're my love." "You slide so good With bones so fair You've got the universe Reclining in your hair." "Just like a car You're pleasing to behold I'll call you Jaguar If I may be so bold." "The wild winds blow Upon your frozen cheeks The way you flip your hip It always makes me weak."

Some 40 hours of vpw, and a few good points (NOT unique to twi no matter what we were told and often common knowledge among Christians today) were not enough to transform the rest from "boring", even if that HAD been interesting (which I'm not stipulating to.) Most of us couldn't actually "show from Scripture that Jesus isn't God" or "the dead are dead". We could spit back what was taught by rote memorization, but the exceptions were the ones who studied those out on their own. No matter what vpw claimed in pfal, he actively discouraged independent study outside of pfal if it was on pfal-related subjects. And pfal made weak cases for each, larded with lots of bluster. If all either belief had going for it was what vpw taught, I'd have discarded them decades ago. As for SIT NOT going out with the first-century apostles, that may or may not be true. However, what was taught in twi, and has since been taught to post-twi groups, that has NOTHING to do with Biblical SIT except to hear people insist that it is the same thing as Biblical SIT despite all the differences. If Biblical SIT exists now and is "available" now, to find it, one will first need to discard any and all counterfeits- like the one vpw demonstrated so clumsily and by rote. "U shanta mala ka sita la shonta." (He said that one ALL the freaking time.) If one is busy pretending pfal, twi and vpw were the be-all and quintessence of Christianity, one will never get there because they're convinced they've already "arrived" and can laze about without ever beginning their journey. It saves a lot of time and effort to declare oneself right by fiat and never bother to get out and look for wisdom and truth. Of course, the consequence is never finding wisdom and truth, but security and comfort are more important to some people, so I can get they'd value those more.

I can't get angry at James Caan now? ;) In other news, this is "Star Trek II- the Wrath of Khan."

Originally, this show began as a drama, with 20-somethings worrying about SATs and so on, but it got more popular once it got a shot of melodrama (and some new actors). After that, it became traditional for someone to get thrown into the pool each season.

Caaaaaannnn!!!!!!

Neither the title nor the artist.

Your guess was correct. James D. Edwards III's social security number was 905-80-5406. Agent J's information was on display before it was deleted. Don't blink or you'll miss the joke about Al Roker, Isaac Mizrahi, Danny DeVito, Sylvester Stallone, Dionne Warwick, Newt Gingrich, and George Lucas. On-screen, they were shown to be aliens living on Earth who were being monitored. Ray-Ban really appreciated the boost in sales of their Predator 2 sunglasses. Sales shot up of the same glasses used to deflect the neuralyzer. I imagine getting the permits to film in the Queens-Midtown Tunnel and the Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel was done in one meeting for the producer or director. They drove across the ceiling of the QMT, and the BBT was where the entrance to MiB HQ was.

That's it.

No.

To a degree, it WAS scripted. Whenever pfal was mentioned to new people, if you didn't join in on how fantastic it was and how it would answer EVERY question, you were seen to have missed your cue. Every single joke, no matter how lame, was supposed to be laughed at (or at least groaned at.) Lines from pfal here and there were used later in all sorts of contexts and approved-of if introduced. And grads sitting in on a pfal class acted like it was a watershed experience and a positive life-transformer.

For the record, vpw claiming the imaginary woman killed her imaginary son with her imaginary believing (imaginary reverse-fear) rather than the imaginary car that hit him wasn't boring. It was error-ridden, it was un-Christian New Age thinking, and it was imaginary but told as if it was real people you could have met on the street or seen in the news. But it was too FICTIONAL to be boring. Then again, the 2 fictional mean men who used their New Age visualization to think and become rich, donate lots of money, and remain hated by their community in between sitting alone in a room with nothing but vpw's clairvoyance seeing them (Honestly- how did he supposedly know they were sitting for hours thinking, AND WHAT THEY WERE THINKING, if they were behind closed doors?), those guys were boring AND fictional. However, both the imaginary woman and the imaginary men were used to support vpw's imaginary doctrine of the so-called "law" of believing that fails all the time. But their imaginary examples led to the belief that was PERCEIVED that pfal was profound and had deep truths in it. It took lots of made-up examples, and lots of INDOCTRINATION, but eventually it was made to work. If you're told something is the be-all and end-all, and that it's exciting, and everyone around you insists it's exciting, you're going to get excited about it- at least until you get some experience yourself and can form a separate opinion. Even then, a lot of people stayed quiet about pfal being boring and just went along with things until they realized it was all built on sand.

VIPs Baywatch Home Improvement ("the Tool Time girl") And she voiced Stan Lee's "Striperella." Considering I've seen about 1 episode's worth of Home Improvement and Baywatch, and none of the others, I think that's pretty good remembering. :)

vpw knew he was a fraud from the beginning, but he had the gift of gab, and could recognize the real deal when he saw it. The sad thing for him is...God works with us sinners and our faults all the time, and in spite of our sins and faults all the time. If vpw had changed his heart, God could have worked with him instead of vpw having to fake the entire relationship. So, vpw saw an article on these new Christians, and immediately set out to subvert them. He put forth that himself was some great one, and some of them- young and naive- didn't consider the possibility that he might be lying through his teeth- and fell for it entirely. So, he found them working for God, and, through small steps, got them working for HIM and NOT God. So, he watered down their message and sold it as twi, and a LOT of people joined twi for that and were indoctrinated into "it's pfal, it's twi" rather than what really happened. However, not all of them went along. There were still people in that movement that were never derailed and subverted into twi. Too bad there were so many that WERE.
