Can we get a little more to work with?

I was baffled when you posted the first clue, and wondered how we were supposed to get it. Then I got some sleep, and my subconscious worked it out. "Monty Python's Flying Circus."

I was considering whether it was time to bring this one up again...

That means it HAS to be "Star Trek 4-the Voyage Home."

And, having "made income" from the sale of the house, were expected to give 15% to 20% directly to twi as "abundant sharing." lcm had no idea that he HAD no idea how people lived. He didn't even remember how college students lived. We know that because, when he was put in charge of sending WOWs out, he sent off the first group early in the morning ON AN EMPTY STOMACH. He saved the organization the cost of feeding them "because he wasn't really much of a breakfast person." Honestly, in college, finding food is a big deal no matter what form the food took, so a recent college grad should still remember that as a priority. You have people scheduled for a day of a lot of walking (cardio points), and you're not thinking the people need some kind of meal before getting to work? That's ridiculous- even if it's a light meal, they need SOMETHING. Yes- lcm went from living off his parents to living directly at college, to living directly at HQ. lcm never lived on his own, and never held down a job. lcm always lived off someone else, and had no idea what it meant to own a home or even be in charge of an apartment, for that matter. And he was lecturing those who HAD about homes and apartments, when he'd never been responsible for either. It was as sensible as getting marriage counseling from him. twi creatively reinterpreted anything at hand to make it look like that was supposed to be how it was. You lived in semi-poverty and gave away your savings, while the LC's lived off your savings and lived in really nice homes owned by twi (and thus tax-exempt.) On the other hand, the LC's were shocked when they suddenly had to move out because they weren't bowing prostrate before lcm's or rfr's image, and suddenly they realized THEY had no savings EITHER despite having had the money to do so.

It is "the Hobbit". The 1977 one was animated, which is why it had Don Messick and Thurl Ravenscroft in it. Bilbo Baggins is at home, minding his own business, when he suddenly finds himself hosting a dozen dwarves for dinner. They give him a scare when he's particular about keeping the dishes safe, and they sing that song while pretending to be careless with them. (For the record, mentioning Orson Bean with Otto Preminger would have made me think of the animated movie.)

It's like saying Joan Collins is in it. BTW, I think auto-correct turned "walking corpses" into "walking COURSES." (A corpse is the body of a dead person, aka a cadaver.)

The first link won't work because it's a link to EDIT your video, so it sends us to log in to try to edit it. The second link works. In either case, the people here aren't the ones who can help you. You need to work with the professionals you were working with. The people here could easily hurt you more than help you. They/we are not licensed professionals, and we're not there able to do a professional evaluation even if we were. We take this seriously enough that we know it takes training to handle this sort of thing, and we don't have it. There are people who DO and are ready to work with you, and that's your answer. We can pray for you in the meantime, but you should be doing the things you CAN do (like follow any treatments they assign.)

Who would think a minister would make a bald-faced lie about something like that? Who would think a minister would make such a claim if he hadn't researched it first? That's why we didn't think to check him. People are a LOT more cynical now, and it's a LOT easier to check things with the internet existing now.

Is this a triple? Are both (all 3) movies?

My personal opinion about a few writers (Bullinger and Kenyon, specifically) is that their writings show a disconnect. At places, they specifically state what the Trinity doctrine says as a matter-of-fact, in the manner we get of people who repeat slogans and catchphrases they've seen advertised, or were told so many times they never think to question if they might actually be false. (I've seen a few pop songs do that with passing misinformation, no matter what the truth was, for example.) However, if you're reading their expositions on other matters, the explanations seem to suggest the opposite- that they're not diehard Trinitarians and would offend such with what they write because it suggests the OPPOSITE. Lacking either here to question- and a chance to speak without consequence- I'd not be too sure exactly what they believed. As for Leonard, his own position wasn't a traditional Trinitarian stance either, no matter what he wrote. In fact, he wrote an entire book explaining his position because it wasn't the main one ("The Godhead, or The Water In the Bottle.") Historically, there have been-and are now- multiple positions and opinions. There's the "co-equal, co-eternal Trinity", there's Oneness theology, there's Arianism, Socianism, etc, etc. Each has/had their own adherents. Naturally, each has/had some fools eager to excommunicate or declare anathema everyone who holds ever OTHER position and declare they are not actually Christians. Morons, all of them (the excommunicators.) As for vpw's stance, one obvious reason his positions changed was that he was lazy and didn't think. He was the worst kind of eclectic. (I like eclecticism because one can consider all points of view on every single doctrine before forming an opinion, and need not adhere to one simply because one's group teaches it.) vpw just found different stuff then added it to his catalog, without understanding it much of the time. That's how he ended up with some odd carryovers from authors who made some obvious mistakes. His official training was in homiletics, in preaching. So, the thing he was trained to do was to get up to the podium and make grandiose announcements- and the more grandiose and welkin-ringing, the better. So, he often didn't fact-check his pontificating. So, he closed at least one session rather dramatically (he did that with more than a few), and in this case he was so busy shaking the rafters that he didn't realize he was quoting stuff he hadn't espoused for decades. For most people, for most GENUINE people, this would be a hard mistake to make. For a fraud, a fake, a Harold Hill, this is actually one of the more likely mistakes to make.

Ok, the phrasing suggests who said it, but who was it said about? If it wasn't the one I was thinking, then it was probably said about Valeris, which would make this "Star Trek 6: The Undiscovered Country." (Had to be even-numbered because it didn't suck.)

It has a sequel. Technically, it will have 2 sequels. And some people might consider the number to be 5 sequels, but that's really a matter of interpretation. I'm sure Christopher Lee loves the regular work, however. Fans of the books, naturally, complain about each and every one...

You know who Don Messick and Thurl Ravenscroft are. And if you remember where you know either from, the format for the first one is obvious- and really limits the scope of the answers. Benedict Cumberbatch is Sherlock Holmes in "Sherlock." (And in ST:Into Darkness, he had a major role.) Martin Freeman is Dr John Watson in "Sherlock." Shame on you for missing such a fine show. The 2012 movie, in particular, is well-known. And you probably saw its sequel.

Yeah. Thought I snuck that one past you for a moment.

The next-to-last movie, I'm thinking, Abrams' first one.

It doesn't seem reasonable to us, either. But, since it is a FALSE DILEMMA, it is DESIGNED not to make sense to anyone, and to just make it easy to think there's only 2 possibilities- MY opinion, and an incredibly stupid opinion. Christians who didn't believe in the Trinity have been existing all through the centuries. We discussed once how one group of Trinitarians killed off a group of non-Trinitarians in Europe centuries ago. There have been lots of minority opinions through the entire history of the Christian Church. This has been one of them- and that's only considering people who actually said "I'm not a Trinitarian." I had a friend who was Roman Catholic, and I asked him once if Jesus was The Son of God, or if he was God. He answered immediately and said Jesus was The Son of God, and seemed surprised there was a position that could be phrased so as to say Jesus was God. Officially, he'd be on the books as a Trinitarian by definition because he's RC. (I phrased the question that way because I was in twi at the time, so I didn't have as much of a problem loading questions like I do now.) In and of itself, the question, as phrased, would either get a proper Trinitarian to say outright that Jesus is God, or clarify his phrasing but say that Jesus is God in some form or other while answering. If that False Dilemna's been influencing your thinking for some time now, you've got a lot of work to UNdo.... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_dilemma http://www.nizkor.org/features/fallacies/false-dilemma.html http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/False_dilemma

"This is my 9th sick day. If I go for 10, I'll have to barf up a lung- so I'd better make this one count."

Carrie John Travolta Pulp Fiction

"I assume then that all your other bodily functions are... normal?" "Sorry, beg your pardon?" "Well, putting it delicately, do you... eat?" "Yes. Yes I do. When I'm hungry."

CORRECTION: There's 2 correct answers- one from 1977, the other from 2012 -and I will accept either. The 1977 version included Orson Bean, Hans Conried, Otto Preminger, Brother Theodore, Don Messick, and Thurl Ravenscroft. The 2012 version included Benedict Cumberbatch, Martin Freeman, and Christopher Lee. "Blunt the knives, bend the forks Smash the bottles and burn the corks Chip the glasses and crack the plates" "Cut the cloth, tread on the fat Leave the bones on the bedroom mat Pour the milk on the pantry floor Splash the wine on every door! Dump the crocks in a boiling bowl Pound them up with a thumping pole When you're finished if they are whole Send them down the hall to roll!" Oddly enough, both versions left out the last line "So, carefully, carefully with the plates!"

It's.....

He acquired pornography in San Francisco. He viewed pornography, and showed some of it to the corps, and described it to people he didn't show it to. (Early CFS classes had it shown, later classes had it described.) Pretty deviant stuff, too. He asked D00p, specifically, for specifics about orgies, and made D00p uncomfortable- with D00p saying he was glad he was delivered from that sort of thing even while saying he was only BRIEFLY at one (technically, he showed up, but didn't seem to stick around to participate, judging from the timeframe.) vpw then tried to tell Jim that God Almighty was fine with orgies. vpw dropped the subject when it was obvious D00p was hostile to his message. We have no accounts of vpw getting invited to one, attending, or knowing time, date and location of one. IMHO, it's obvious he was FISHING for that information, but didn't get it (didn't ask anyone who knew offhand, or at least acknowledged knowing if they DID know.) vpw saw the pornography so we didn't have to- then showed it to some resident corps-which meant they had to. vpw walked into seances and things so we didn't have to. vpw attended racetracks so we didn't have to. vpw drank a lot and smoked a lot so we didn't have to- he made agreements for some of the corps to raise money for their tuition by giving up smoking and giving him the money. Fairly young in life, vpw dropped dead of cancer whose risk factors included lots of drinking and smoking. So, vpw dropped dead young so we wouldn't have to. vpw acquired lots of little personal toys and things on the twi budget, using the 10% given by people living paycheck to paycheck- vpw bought luxuries so we wouldn't have to.

I noticed his letter still included advertisements for a book and for a class, both of which can be purchased, while he explains his situation and asks for prayer. Even the prospect of approaching death can't get a leopard to change his spots. For so many reasons, JAL could use some prayer, and he has requested it, so I think that's better than if he hadn't. He may have gotten a little more humble with everything else.

There's 2 correct answers- one from 1966, the other from 2012 -and I will accept either.
