"Not so fast, Louie." That's the correct line. Not "Drop the gun, Louie."

Is this "the Pretender"?

Hey! Whose turn is it? It's MINE???? Ok, hang on.... "She's unavoidable, I'm backed against the wall. She gives me feelings like I never felt before. I'm breaking promises, she's breaking every law."

Tough one. I know him from "Quark" (TV) and "Love at First Bite." I suspected he was in a movie, but IMdB says he wasn't in it.

A) Divine revelation. That's underscored by the absence of incidents and complaints against either the 12 OR the 70. Instead, there's zero complaints and accounts of them going around, performing miracles, then leaving. For that matter, that wasn't a full-year program to promote a class. That was a limited timeframe that ended quickly. B) Johniam, since you're determined to derail this thread (THREE, count them, THREE changes of subject IN THE FIRST PAGE from what the original poster asked) you should consider a separate thread where you can pose your issue, and let the original poster have their issue un-derailed. You've yet to even address the question the original poster asked. This was deliberate-since it was pointed out already and you haven't stopped. Frankly, you owe them an apology, but I don't expect you to rise to that level. Obviously, there's an attempt here to draw attention away from the method twi used to decide placements of both people and groups in their wow program. "You can stay as long as your money holds!"-vpw.

In this book adaptation(s), A short guy is convinced to leave his comfortable home/hole behind to go on an adventure to find a less-short person's missing brother, and ends up falling deep underground and discovering a subterranean realm. Supporting cast includes Ian McKellen and Brendan Fraser.

Although no system is 100% foolproof, reasonable expectations of quality control are to be met. So, it's highly doubtful either Jones OR Manson would have gotten far among the MANY steps between "average joe" and "priest." They wanted to be THE Authority. Facing the years and years only to start at the bottom of the authority ladder? Not worth the effort. That's why they started their own groups. That's what people do when they want to use religion to exploit others. Otherwise, they would have been through the process already described by dmiller: However, all of this is currently a DISTRACTION from the absence of quality control in the wow program, and the question by the original poster concerning what went on in choosing people and places- as I already mentioned. Any reason you want to draw attention from those 2 points? I think we all know the answer to that one....

Oh. Never saw that one. Thought you were sledding on thin ice, there.

How about some actual quality control? If Charles Manson and Jim Jones had completed pfal and came in with completed applications and the required fees, they would have been accepted. Real Christian groups are a LOT more selective about who they accept into programs representing them. That makes it a LOT easier to avoid disaster than asking for revelation as to whether or not your "family" got a rapist or child molester. However, that is completely NOT what the original poster is asking about. They asked about the processes that twi used to assign people and locations.

It kinda does, but Cruise (as he is normally) is way too tall for the role.

It's obviously Ghostbusters. The dogs-and-cats line's a running gag in some circles.

"The Sound of Music Man"?

I'm sure there's a thread or 2 where the processes were discussed. It will take some time to find them, however. I'll need a few days to find something.

That's it.

This 1955 (1985?) movie has a student who pretends to be a boy in school to try to prove she's not taken seriously as a journalist because she's pretty and female. After graduation, she works in a mission to help drunks and gamblers- and a gambler contrives to take her to Havana-all hiding he's planning to use her as cover when setting up a big illegal game at the mission.

Forgot to chime in on the other one... Stripes Judge Reinhold Fast Times at Ridgemont High

One poster reported that they thought one staffer got in trouble for a conversation. He had said they settled differences on which of 2 places to send a group by coin toss. BTW, here's a link to a previous WOW thread...

Lou Reed's "Take a Walk on the Wild Side." You found lyrics in the song that won't offend someone or other. With that song, it's a bit tricky. :)

Is this "George of the Jungle Book"?

I am still waiting for you to acknowledge what I said had any merit, from a genetics standpoint. A few paragraphs about the substance of what was and was not said, and all you got from that was "Charges of "unfair, you are biased.." "you have an agenda here.."" What's the point of me even evaluating things, then posting a fair reply that actually reflects the science, when it's only going to be labelled and ignored? As far as I can tell, you're only responding to replies on the Youtube link, and those have justly earned reputations for being the bottom-feeders of actual dialogue regardless of the subject. Pending more information, I think the Hayflick Limit figures into genetics as a whole, but not this specific subject, this specific video. The speaker was making claims about a specific gene, and whether or not it's spliced, and what it means if it IS spliced.

Often they're right. However, they also repeated the urban legend that Charles Manson auditioned for Fleetwood Mac.

It was Ziggy Stardust. First time I ever heard of a "snow white tan" being a selling point. :) I'll wait a little before replying on your song.

Does this movie include a reference to "eggy in a basket"?

I agree. I do not support the teaching of "creation" in schools. I support "full disclosure" on evolutionary theory. There's lots of problems with the suppositions, but nobody teaches them in schools along with the theory. So, kids think the theory is unflawed. They're taught, for example, that peppered moths are proof of physiological changes in species in reaction to environment. The claim: their skin changed shades in response to their environment changing, so now they camouflage into pollution. However, the claims don't have any actual support. It is SPECULATED that they rest in those places. It is CLAIMED that this is proof of change. It is IGNORED that both types of peppered moths existed before pollution, both existed after pollution set in, and both types' populations rose and fell TOGETHER. This argues AGAINST theory-which says the lighter shades should be reproducing at smaller rates than the darker shades due to the shades increasing survival chances for the darker moths. The thing I find detestable is the actual staging of photos- where peppered moths were put against low parts of trees-where they NEVER rest- to show the darker ones camouflage better at rest and see how this matches our theories? In its own way, it's as vile as the Disney filmers shoving the lemmings to their deaths to support the claim that lemmings jump to their deaths. IF evolution with descent actually IS how all species got here, there's a LOT for science to explain before it can fill in all the blanks- and either way, it would be nice for all claims to reflect the actual EVIDENCE of science and not just the DOGMA of science.
