I think it's KANSAS who did "Carry On My Wayward Son."

A point that can be missed is that people who insist twi had it correct seem to be the ones saying that to question SIT IN THE TWI STYLE is to question the Bible, Jesus Christ, etc, and everyone else is saying it's a separate doctrine that has no bearing on the salvation of billions of Christians in history and the present. Whether or not there is real SIT, the assertion is that the twi style itself was education in, and practice of, how to COUNTERFEIT the actual experience of SIT, with social reinforcement filling in the gaps. (We all wanted to SIT, we were told it was fantastic, we were told this is how it's done, all our friends wanted us to SIT, we wanted to SIT, so when we put the twi counterfeit into practice, we were eager to believe it was the genuine and not the counterfeit, and our friends believed the same.) Whether or not that's true, the evidence points that way. All of that's a separate question of "Is there real SIT today that's not the same as twi style" and "Is the Bible correct" and so on. Those are matters for Doctrinal and best left there. I hope to chat about it with the gang here later when there's time.The "real SIT" part, not the other part.)

Thanks, both of you. I'll give them some respectful attention ASAP. Here's what I've got. A) Buy a bag or box of earplugs. B) Try to develop a routine eventually so the kid gets a sense of when to sleep. C) Movement seems to help, so pacing with the kid often works. D) If it's colic, simethicone is the only thing that will help. Dr will advise about a few drops in the formula or milk across the day/night. E) I've heard driving around is helpful for that. Walking a carriage is hrlpful. F) Of course, check for clean diaper, thirst, etc. G) If all else fails, you have to wait it out. Keep the earplugs in and try to entertain yourself. The kid may actually cry for a while, take a breath to cry more, then suddenly fall asleep while inhaling. (It's like a sitcom when that happens.)

Correct, of course.

I know chockfull keeps insisting that 2 posters comments make up some sort of "proof", at least to his satisfaction. (BTW, chockfull, I'd like to think you're right, but I haven't seen a decent case for it, and the case for the other side seems pretty strong.) Which 2 posters does this refer to? IIRC, one was Socks. Does anyone have a link to the posts where their stories took place? I'd like to go over them myself and see if I'd find their accounts constituting "proof" or not.

Freddy Krueger kills the director of his movie, the actor who plays him, and other members of the cast, then he himself goes on to kill teenagers in their dreams while they sleep.

Since he said Sam Jackson, it's obviously not the British agents of 1961 or 1998. Sam Jackson's playing "Nick Fury" in the Marvel adaptation movies. So, Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, Hulk... those Avengers, 2012.

A murderer kills teens in their dreams- then breaks the fourth wall and kills the actor playing him, the director of his movie, and others who worked on it.

12 Angry Men in Black And I was hoping to answer the previous one about "A Time to Kill a Mockingbird." BTW, nice one.

Correct! The original, with the Rat Pack, and Sinatra as Danny Ocean, IIRC. Got it just before I posted a quote about there being 11 of them. And Sammy Davis Jr's comment about knowing how his skin color would come in handy someday while sitting next to someone blacking his face.

"Why waste those cute little tricks that the Army taught us just because it's sort-of peaceful now?" "Hello. This is a recording. You've dialed the right number, now hang up and don't do it again. " "I'm so drunk, I don't think I could lie down without holding on!" " I can't do it. I've got my wife to think of." "Think of her rich." "Think of me dead." "You'll miss my wedding!" "Mother, I have never missed one of your weddings. "Yes, you did. My first one." "Going down." "Going down." "Where they serve the drinks." "To the bar." "Oh, Danny. What a prize you are. The only husband in the world who'd proposition his own wife." " If it's so fool-proof, why hasn't somebody done it yet?" "Same reason nobody's gone to the moon yet - no equipment." "And we're equipped."

Close enough- "Ïndependence Day the Earth Stood Still."

I see them, but the Reading Room is for links, not discussion. The other 2 address specific sections and I don't want to pull them all over the NT (and OT). I won't mind pasting from them into another thread, however.

I kept not having time to post, so I THOUGHT I'd joined pages ago. ============================= A science fiction flick. An alien and android come to tell the Earth to clean up its act so it won't be considered a threat to other planets. But the warning comes too late- OTHER aliens attack that summer! Major cities are hit, but the survivors will fight back. The alien will help-he's been living as a human when this began. (This got tough because I'm trying to include 2 versions of 1 movie in with a different movie, to cover more ground. That meant some details have to be a bit vague.)

I like the whole process of working through this and trying to come to conclusions. As time permits (for me certainly and for others I'd expect), I'd like to go a step further in the Doctrinal forum. I'd like to go over the verses overtly discussing speaking in tongues, and I'd like to go over the verses that are claimed to be discussing speaking in tongues. I think we can do slowly, deliberately, and cautiously. I think we can do a respectful job and get down to some specifics, clearing out some things we THOUGHT the verses said, and getting clear on what the verses DO say. I don't know what the results will be, but I for one am overdue for such a journey, and I think at least one of you might want to come along for the process as well as the results. (Getting there can be the most fun part of these things.)

I think he's making like we had a drinking game going, as in "For every link through Abe Vigoda, take one drink." Vigoda had speaking roles in both movies, so I doubt he was questioning me. He would have buzzed me and been specific.

I know someone else who's going to be disappointed they didn't log in before me. They're a fan of both. This is "the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Quest." BTW, the BBC TV version of books 1 & 2 was MUCH better than the big screen version of 1, and was done on a short budget. The only thing the new one had on it was Alan Rickman's voice for Marvin.

Hm. Good question. I think I would have gone for it, and I think some other people would have, sooner or later. Having been trained to fake it, it's tough to say with any surety I ever did it for real, and at least SIT would be tough to really say it with evidence and confidence. I think the case would have to go for "prophecy" or "interpretation."

That first quote is the opening lines from "the Cannonball Run", said over the police-band between Dispatch and a car in pursuit.

I'm not sure where it fits in. On the one hand, I can freely say that I never MEANT to fake it in twi, but I did because the people around me did. On the other hand, I'm convinced that at least SOME of the messages that came via "prophecy" or whatever were legit- largely ones that were radically different from the stock "messages" we got every week. At least once I was planning for one thing, got the opposite, and was visibly puzzled as to what happened. (It made sense a few minutes later, but at the time I was genuinely surprised.)

Hey- we're family. You wouldn't think that was a sentimental comment if you'd met my family. ;)
