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

"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. "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!

That's it.

"You have all overbid."

I think you've brought up a very good point. I once had someone like that insult me because I refused to just rattle off an answer to something I didn't know- instead, I said I was going to take it home and look some things up. He, on the other hand, was convinced his no-pause, memorized answer-in-a-can that was handed to him by his organization was correct. BTW, he wasn't correct, and a much slower read actually would have shown that. I've often found that coming back to something later means I'm more likely to have a more intelligent response, and have to eat my words less. In fact, if given sufficient time, I can come up with some rather neat, correct answers if I already have all the information I need.

"The Neighbors"?

"YOU'RE Abe Frohman? The Sausage King of Chicago?"

"Meatballs of Flame"?

How well can you trust a group that's always changing their name- as if they don't WANT people to learn about them? Momentus has also been known as "Breakthrough" and "Lifespring." What their current name is, I don't know, since they went through both of those already and are using something else. http://www.equip.org/articles/breakthroughmomentus/ http://psychology.wikia.com/wiki/Lifespring "One Lifespring follower, Sue Hawkes, started a similar program, called Vistar, but it was unsuccessful. Lifespring training, once offered under a unified corporate umbrella, now appears in several guises world-wide delivered by differently-named companies. Some of these companies offering the training programs once offered by or based on Lifespring include Momentus; Insight Seminars; Resource Realizations; The Great Life Foundation, Visionworks; The Impact Trainings; Harmony Institute; Spectrum Trainings; Phoenix2000, Vistar/Serendipidity; Summit Education; Personal Dynamics; Choicenter; Millennium 3; Asia Works; Argentina Works; Essential Education; Rising Star Communications; Humanus Institute; and Wings Seminars All sorts of different names, all to stay under the radar. Oh, that mine enemy had stuck to one name at a time! Matthew 18:5-7 King James Version (KJV) 5 And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me. 6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea. 7 Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh! Luke 17:1-3 King James Version (KJV) 17 Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come! 2 It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones. 3 Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.

Two possible answers. A) The "experts" are experts at their organization's THEOLOGY, and ASSUME the Bible matches up to it, so actually reading it is an afterthought. Their theology and their understanding is based on preconceived notions they were taught, not the Bible. (Hey, it's affected me, too. One day, I felt a lightbulb go off when I realized I was thinking that the 2 resurrections spoken of in the future will be mirrors of each other and identical in almost every way- whether or not the descriptions of them actually mirror each other. Once I realized the word "damnation" in one verse is commonly translated "judgement" most other places-and probably should be translated "judgement" everywhere- I realized I was looking at them through preconceived notions based on what I was taught.) So, they are faced with verses they THINK they understand, but actually don't. and can't answer them because their answers are based on what someone said and not the actual verse. Ever hear someone use Psalm 2:8 as a missionary verse? vpw claimed they did- and one day, I heard someone do it! Psalm 2:8 8 Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. I got the other people with me, who were visiting that church, giggling when I showed them the verse that was cited- along with the verse that followed. Psalm 2:8-9 8 Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. 9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel. Those aren't missionary verses. The other possibility is that some of them KNOW it's wrong, but WANT to read them that way, because it's in their own best interests to scare the congregation, and frighten them into "circling the wagons." They WANT to frighten Christians because it doesn't help gain new Christians, but scared Christians are too scared to leave the congregation. (We saw that in twi, who still uses it. Others used it long before vpw ever did.) Perhaps different preachers do it for different things- some with good intentions but clumsy execution, and others intending to scare the flock into flocking together.

I'm a little unsure about one title. Is it "Meatballs of Fire"?
