  1. twi's simplistic, mechanical system represents one extreme- reality shifts to match thought. "You cannot petition the Lord with prayer" represents another extreme- prayer accomplishes nothing beyond a placebo. In between are all the other positions that healthier Christians take. James 5:16b (KJV) The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. (NASB) The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much.
  2. Rocky 3. I watched the heck out of that, one Summer.
  3. Driving a LOW RIDER, Human? I think "War" might have done this. When I can't name an artist, often it's "War." If you're a fan of the song, it becomes funnier to watch the more recent version of "Gone in 60 Seconds" with Cage and Jolie.
  4. No. vpw cut off consideration he may be wrong when he said that one of Eve's mistakes was even THINKING about what the serpent said, CONSIDERING was an error. So, to even CONSIDER if vpw was wrong was easy to work into "are you questioning God?" God was thought to endorse everything those 2 said and did. We were told (as in, to our faces) that, if lcm was a mistake as Pres, "that makes God stupid." As if God=vpw.
  5. This is a very interesting thought. I'll have to look this speaker up a bit.

  7. .....while people at the top are waited on hand and foot by staff, not even counting their salary from twi. Lots of free perks being in charge of twi. Off the books, of course. Free housekeeping, free personal cooks, maintenance of personal boat.....
  8. I was staying with the theme. On the one hand, this sounded like an episode I like, "the Pegasus." (Whenever an SF show has a ship disappear then reappear, it's "the Pegasus." Remember Commander Cain's vanishing Battlestar? That was the Battlestar Pegasus.) On the other hand, the story of the USS Pegasus was revisited years later. The episode is called "These Are the Voyages..." Riker examines his conscience concerning the Pegasus, partly by reviewing a holodeck program of the last episode of "Enterprise." It fit the theme. Plus, I've actually seen a lot of this episode. "Space, the final frontier. These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise. Its continuing mission..." - Captain Jean-Luc Picard "...to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life, and new civilizations..." - Captain James T. Kirk "...to boldly go where no man has gone before." - Captain Archer
  9. "With the unexpected arrival of Admiral Pressman, my old CO, I find myself in an awkward position." "Our brig is bigger than this!" "I think I'm ready to talk to Captain Picard. I should've done it a long time ago." "So I guess we're through here." "I guess we are. Computer, end program." "Did Trip ever take a swing at Picard?" "At who?"
  10. "With the unexpected arrival of Admiral Pressman, my old CO, I find myself in an awkward position." "Our brig is bigger than this!" "I think I'm ready to talk to Captain Picard. I should've done it a long time ago." "So I guess we're through here."
  11. Mark may be remembering himself as being rougher than he was. I know I was skeptical of everything when I first arrived. I don't remember giving anyone a hard time about it, because I was skeptical in both directions-maybe it was true, maybe it was false. If I'd only been skeptical one way, I might remember myself as being like so many arrivals who showed up, ready to swing a 2 x 4, even if I rarely posted with such an attitude. (Then again, I might have swung one a lot and not remembered any of it.) I think a quote off the Star Trek game thread might be appropriate at this moment. Kira:"I'll remember this moment forever. I'll remember all our moments." Odo:"As will I."

  13. Next turn: "With the unexpected arrival of Admiral Pressman, my old CO, I find myself in an awkward position." =================================================== I actually saw it by accident. A friend sent me something, itemized alphabetically. Not a ST fan, he labelled it "AtoZ." When I saw it on a menu, I thought "Atoz?" and wondered when I got a ST:TOS file, and what it had to do with this episode. From what I read, Frank Baum named the land of Oz while telling a children's story. He glanced around the room, and the file cabinet was labelled "A-N" and "O-Z." Offhand, I think "Atoz" was a clever name.

    This site's been invaluable to many people, more than we'll ever know. (I'm one of them. I've considered this a "home online" for a long time.) BTW, some of us will be staying in contact, both through a new messageboard in the future, and a Facebook page in the present.
  15. I don't know the name. This is the TOS episode where a planet's population survived by jumping into their planet's own past. Mr Atoz (A to Z) and his duplicates were the caretakers in the present. Kirk ended up in the past during some witch hunts, and Spock and Bones ended up in some Ice Age, while Spock began reverting in personality to a Vulcan in that timeframe, with emotions and so on. If I understand the dialogue correctly, Spock's normally a vegetarian, because he commented on eating meat.

    my last topic here..

    Closing time - time for you to go out, go out into the world. Closing time - turn the lights up over every boy and every girl. Closing time - one last call for alcohol, so finish your whiskey or beer. Closing time - you don't have to go home but you can't stay here. I know who I want to take me home. I know who I want to take me home. I know who I want to take me home. Take me home... Closing time - time for you to go back to the places you will be from. Closing time - this room won't be open 'til your brothers or your sisters come. So gather up your jackets, and move it to the exits - I hope you have found a friend. Closing time - every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end. Yeah, I know who I want to take me home. I know who I want to take me home. I know who I want to take me home. Take me home... Closing time - time for you to go back to the places you will be from... I know who I want to take me home. I know who I want to take me home. I know who I want to take me home.

  17. Who was victor paul wierwille? Acts 8: 9Now there was a man named Simon, who formerly was practicing magic in the city and astonishing the people of Samaria, claiming to be someone great; 10and they all, from smallest to greatest, were giving attention to him, saying, "This man is what is called the Great Power of God." 11And they were giving him attention because he had for a long time astonished them with his magic arts. He bamboozled a bunch of people in God's name. What will the state of the former way "international" in 15 years? Acts 5: 36"For some time ago Theudas rose up, claiming to be somebody, and a group of about four hundred men joined up with him. But he was killed, and all who followed him were dispersed and came to nothing."
  18. He's the only one I ever heard say it. I'd heard him on at least one tape saying that. He's the only one DUMB enough to pull it. Although when I was brand-new, I heard someone say it in passing to someone else. Apparently, they picked it up from lcm's tapes.
  19. Yes. So long as you're logging in from the same IP address, it will suggest those people as possible "friends" for Twinky. Of course, you don't have to make them "friends" of the new account.
  20. Let's not copy him- he'd only think that was some sort of compliment.
  21. Merry Christmas! And the name "Christmas" comes from the "Mass" one attended. lcm's delusions to the contrary, it was a term referring to the day (like Michaelmas and Candlemas.) lcm somehow came up with the hallucination that it referred to the mass-acre of the innocents when Herod wanted the King of the Jews dead. (Or any of his other comments on the day- "Happy Kill-Christ Day, celebrating the death of Christ..." ) ================= We must condemn the other Christians! They took a secular holiday, changed the name, and made a few tweaks, and celebrated it as a holiday! What will WE do about Christmas Valentines Day other holidays? Well, let's change the name and make a few tweaks, then celebrate them as holidays. During the holiday, we can also delight in how we're better than other Christians...
  22. That was me. I opened one Facebook account with EVERYTHING disabled, and not using my real name. I later opened one for this (the other week). As soon as I signed in, it suggested 2 "friends"- the one "friend" for the other account, and someone recommended for that because they knew the "friend." The only connection between the 2 accounts, separated by months, was the same IP address was used for both accounts. So, yes, Facebook monitors your IP address. Even when I gave them no personal information (and neither account has any real correct info), they will still log the only things they can log- IP address and email address. If brainfixed wants to use an alias for his account and sign up for the Facebook group (which IS a "private" group), he can do that and set everything on the account so only he sees it. Then let someone know what name he's using so they can approve him for the group. http://xkcd.com/743/
