I'm confident enough to go ahead and post the next one. This is more recent than most of the songs posted, so it's unusually difficult for a lot of the people here. But, I'll give it a shot. Besides, I have the guitar riff for this one stuck in my head, now. "I got the ways and means to New Orleans. I'm going down by the river where its warm and green. I'm gonna have a drink, and walk around, I got a lot to think about. Oh, yeah..."

Gee, vpw used a term with a sexual connotation for something he was doing that supposedly had nothing to do with sex. What a coincidence. It seems to me that what the corps was billed as depended heavily upon what was calculated as being the approach to interest you, with the actual content being incidental, if that. Are you more an academic? Then the corps is a place to study directly on-grounds, and learn more than is covered locally, with in-depth Greek study and classes that don't leave the grounds. Are you more a hands-on person? Then the corps is the place to learn practical application of Biblical principles, for use in everyday life. Are you more a conspiracy theorist? Then the corps is a place to learn the secrets behind the news, and what's going to happen in the US soon. Are you excited about being in twi? Then the corps is a place to learn to perform feats unattainable by the rest of the world. Are you devoted to the idea that vpw has received the greatest understanding of Scripture in 2000 years? Then the corps is a place to learn at the feet of the master. In each case, what you GOT was exactly the same- but the goal was to get you to sign up and pay your tuition more than realistically prepare you for what would be covered-which didn't approach ANY of those sales pitches (except small parts of the first 2.) Reminds me of those old commercials, supposedly of some Iron Curtain country, where the "model" comes out in "different" outfits, which are the same outfits with the announcer giving them different names ("day-vear!" "Evening-vear!")

In wayworld, disagreement never exists, and history gets rewritten to arrange this. Old story.

You committed an assault on your local moglet, and the entire thing was just dropped, of course. Man, if I had a nickel for every time I broke a chair over the head of a moglet, I could drown in them.... <_<

This is the End of the Innocence, title cut for the Don Henley album of the same name. (I liked it, but liked the previous album more.) I don't know the connection, but if I were to guess, I'd say Bruce Hornsby was somehow connected with Poco, since he contributed the melody for this song. (If you compare the melody for "Valley Road" and "End of the Innocence" in your head, you'll see the connection.) And in all fairness, it was Raf, long ago, who told me Hornsby contributed it.

I keep misremembering Keanu's dialogue as including him saying "Whoa" in the movie, even though they didn't go THAT far-including him was enough of a shock. Anthony Hopkins as Van Helsing stole all his scenes, IMHO. He played a blase scientist, jaded to the horrors of what he dealt with, to the hilt. The quintessential scene he did, for me, was when he was eating dinner. I included the quote above. He's eating a very rare steak, which is bloody as he's eating, and he casually discusses Lucy's end while eating. Eventually, Winona Ryder's character runs from the table and throws up in reaction. As for the current movie, I'm hoping some new faces wander in. I'm really not that strong on most movies- rather, the ones I've seen, I tend to remember fairly well.

It's been done before, but I don't know if it was more than once.

"Everyone feeds on death, even vegetarians." "Computer – this is a Class A Priority Directive: Compute, to the last digit, the value of pi."

Wasn't all this supposed to be a BIBLE program, how to apply the Bible and apply Christian principles?

Thank you, but unless they're on CD, I still have the cassette.

Matthew 5:29-30 (NASB) "29"If your right eye makes you stumble, tear it out and throw it from you; for it is better for you to lose one of the parts of your body, than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. 30"If your right hand makes you stumble, cut it off and throw it from you; for it is better for you to lose one of the parts of your body, than for your whole body to go into hell." Here Jesus warned them-and us- of the dangers and severity of sin. Jesus warned us that-if something is an occasion to sin for us, makes it likely we will sin- we should GET RID OF IT, we should REMOVE IT FROM OUR LIVES. If drinking leads to poor judgement, which leads to sin in a person's life (like drinking and having one-night stands and anonymous sex), then the person is to STOP DRINKING and avoid sin. If going to a certain building leads to a person sinning, they are to AVOID THE BUILDING and avoid sin. What's the opposite of this? Instead of taking steps to avoid sin, that would be taking steps to make sin EASIER, to FACILITATE sin. For example, setting up a specific location to sin (like an office or motorcoach), furnishing such a location for sinning (like, say, with alcohol or drugs), and so on. Much of sin-especially the sin that hurts others- is based around steps of sin where one makes decisions one after another, each leading to the sin. If one quotes George Carlin, it becomes easier to see steps and decision points. Speaking of his Catholic upbringing, and its view of sin to him as a youth, "It was a sin to WANT to feel up Ellen, it was a sin to PLAN to feel up Ellen, it was a sin to figure out a PLACE to feel up Ellen, it was a sin to TAKE Ellen to the place to feel her up, it was a sin to TRY to feel her up, and it was a sin to feel her up. There were six sins in one feel, man!" Some will miss the point, likely, and consider this just another excuse to hate the Catholic Church. The point, however, is that each decision, and each action, led up to the sin. At any point, that sinner could have stopped before the sin was committed. Similarly, an adulterer- or an adulterer who teaches his students that having sex with him isn't wrong- has MANY decision points before the actual sin takes place- but he chooses to embrace the sin anyway. On the other hand, Jesus would tell him to discard any item, any location, any action, that leads to sin. It's not so hard at some of the smaller steps. "Sin no more." Ok, how? Start by eliminating plans to sin, and continue by making plans for alternatives, then carrying them out. Oh, and thanks for highlighting Matthew, those verses were worth discussing!

Technically, I posted SOME of them-about a page's worth. I probably left out a lot. Probably hadn't read it all yet, anyway. They probably wanted to start with the link, then didn't think to scroll down and see if we'd discussed how it died later.

I think of it more as Anthony Hopkins as Van Helsing, featuring Gary Oldman as Dracula, and so on. But yes, that's this one. I figured posting my 3 favourite quotes would make it obvious. Since you narrowed it down to Dracula, I didn't have to make the quote the one about the children of the night. Your turn, George!

It worked when she posted it, but apparently, when it got traffic coming from THIS site, they deleted it. That's why I revived some of the data and posted it directly further down the page. That's what Belle thanked me for posting.

Personally, I much preferred "Diane and the Ephesians" to the "Spiritual Shades" album. At ROA '88, I bought every nonofficial thing I could get my hands on. Not that I was avoiding the official things, but I could buy those ANYTIME. Turns out I underestimated how hard it would be for me to get them the next year-which was after lcm drew the line in the sand, and virtually all the sellers took off.

"Everyone feeds on death, even vegetarians."

"I want you to bring me before nightfall a set of postmortem knives." "An autopsy? On Lucy?" "No, no. Not exactly. I just want to cut off her head and take out her heart." "Mr. Morris, your bullets will not harm him. He must be beheaded. I suggest that you use your big Bowie knife." "Well, I wasn't plan on getting that close, Doc." "How did Lucy die? Was she in great pain?" "*continues eating* Yes, she was in great pain! Then we cut off her head, and drove a stake through her heart, and burned it, and then she found peace."

Bela Lugosi was not in this movie.

Ok, let the others had a chance to answer it. This is the series premiere for Star Trek: Deep Space 9, "Emissary." The episode where Picard atrociously mispronounced "Bajor".

Ok, no one else has said it, so I'm going to. Please note this isn't a personal judgement on you as a person. If you went out for a walk and found a nest in use, why not return the nest to where you found it and let them keep your nest? The wasps built it on their own, they weren't on your property, and they were minding their own business. I know you're a human and all that, but would it be fair if some superintelligent alien race (supposing one exists) grabbed your house with you in it, and planned on killing you off to make a museum-piece of your house?

Actually, disagreeing with them produces reactions, and always has. Never produces open dialogue-it produces attempts to suppress instead. Write a paper saying "adultery is wrong"? The powers-that-be say "anyone who reads it will get possessed!" Point out they're kicking out Mrs W from the home she lived in, after twi got her farm and her lifelong devotion? NOW they want to make an official response- but before they wanted to do it secretly... http://www.snopes.com/horrors/cannibal/tapping.asp This story, which probably isn't true, is where the British get the saying "tapping the Admiral".

I suspect you've seen it, and just aren't thinking of it. Which is peculiar at the moment....

"We've all become God's Madmen. All of us." "I have crossed oceans of time to find you." "Our ways are not your ways. And to you there shall be many strange things." I... love you too much to condemn you." "I'm no lunatic man. I'm a sane man fighting for his soul." "Do you believe in destiny? That even the powers of time can be altered for a single purpose? That the luckiest man who walks upon this earth is the one who finds... True love?" "Absinthe is the aphrodisiac of the self. The green fairy who lives in the absinthe wants your soul. But you are safe with me." "When my time comes, will you do the same to me? Will you?" "No." "Take me away from all this death! " "Last week he wanted to marry her. Now he wants to have her committed." "Hear me out, young man. Lucy is not a random victim, attacked by mere accident, you understand? No. She is a willing recruit, a breathless follower, a wanton follower. I dare say, a devoted disciple."

Good. (Not the suffering it part.) That's the first step in understanding what many people, mostly women, went through both PERSONALLY from vpw and generally under vpw's regime as he taught others to do what he did and facilitate what he did. Whether or not YOU are, there certainly are people who DO call her a liar.We've gotten people calling the women who stepped forth ALL liars. We've had people who added to their testimony called liars. We've had people who insisted there was never any sexual wrongdoing at the bod/bot level. We've had people who insisted lcm never did anything. We've had people who insisted vpw never did anything. Then we've had people suggest vpw had sex with women FOR THEIR BENEFIT- either to toughen them up spiritually, or to give them sexual healing. Then we've had people who seem determined to paint the rapist (vpw) as the innocent victim (he's in his RV on his bed innocently minding his own business when women came in, gave themselves alcohol, and threw themselves at him.) Finally, after having made a major production of things- by challenging every eyewitness, victim account, everything people personally saw or did- and having them all speak up in response- they claimed that all this time spent on vpw's evil deeds shows the ones exposing them have an unhealthy obsession with vpw. Whether or not you're any of those parties, that's gone on for maybe a DECADE between WayDale and the GSC. There's a LOT of information, both women who've come forth as direct victims offering testimony. There's people who were part of vpw's criminal gang who've admitted, ashamed, they were in on it. There's official court records that lcm admitted to wrongdoing. Then there's all the information around what's directly known from participants-willing and nonwilling- and posted here and elsewhere. There's a complete, VERY consistent picture. Feel free to look up some of it. Even 10% should be enough to remove "a reasonable doubt." I myself began from the position that vpw was innocent of wrongdoing. However, the wealth of the evidence was sufficient for me to change my mind.

Larry, I suspect you may be the only person here who missed the irony in using condescending and arrogant speech to claim someone else is being condescending and arrogant. I really recommend you review the previous situation, where you were determined to perceive condescension and arrogance where none was offered, and responded "in kind", which meant you responded to civil posts with uncivil replies.
