(It was "White Rabbit.") -
Correct! "This is where the fun begins!" Anakin Skywalker, in the opening fighter sequence. "That wasn't much of a rescue." This sounded like the rescue from Episode II, but it was from the rescue of the Chancellor in Episode III. "So this is how liberty dies – with thunderous applause." Senator Padme Amidala, upon hearing Chancellor Palpatine (Darth Sidious) declare he's organizing the Republic into the first Galactic Empire- to the applause of the Senate. "Good! Twice the pride, double the fall." Count Dooku, aka Darth Tyranus (played by Christopher Lee), when Anakin faces off with him again, and announces his skills have doubled since the last time they fought- when Dooku cut off Anakin's hand. Dooku's response was classic. "Execute Order 66." Chancellor/Emperor Palpatine (Darth Sidious), giving the clone troopers, the GAR (Grand Army of the Republic) the General Order to kill all Jedi. This wiped out most of the Jedi as a result. Go, George!

I don't know the episode's name-but I should. Data was having odd waking dreams, seeing mouths on crewmembers, and a straw and similar things. He even consulted a holodeck simulation of Sigmund Freud about them. (Freudian diagnoses was amazingly funny for this case-if Steve! posts the exchange, you'll get the idea.) Turned out some lifeforms slightly out of phase were parasites, and feeding off the cellular peptides of the crewmembers. (In his dream, Worf was eating "cellular peptide cake...with mint frosting".) It's also the episode where Data, concerned he was attacking crew (subconsciously trying to hit a parasite) that he asked Worf to watch Spot for him. It's a priceless scene, between the way Worf held the cat and Data's elaborate instructions, and how Worf agreed. I used to remember the name...

Next song. A videogame commercial got me thinking about this one- they used THIS song, if you can believe it. "One pill makes you larger, and one pill makes you small" -

"Dirty Deeds (Done Dirt Cheap)", covered by Joan Jett. I think the original was AC/DC. -
*nudges thread* Whoever has quotes from any television series (they don't have to be from the same episode-just the same series) can go next.....

Little Feat, "Let it Roll". "Why should I care? Why should I care?" -
"This is where the fun begins!" "That wasn't much of a rescue." "So this is how liberty dies – with thunderous applause." "Good! Twice the pride, double the fall." "Execute Order 66."

With mint frosting?

I don't think those who want to "give them a pass" say that because they claim to be a Christian group. David Koresh's "Branch Davidians" and Jim Jones' "Peoples Temple" don't get defended here, and they-supposedly- were Christian groups as well. I think the "give them a pass" "stop warning people" advocates are saying that for one reason and one reason only: They have fond personal memories of twi, and all discussions of bad experiences, wrong doctrine, and so on, interfere with their ability to maintain BLOODLESS fond personal memories, and they would rather SILENCE THE ONE TELLING THE TRUTH and warning people than to adjust their thinking to say "I had many fond memories-but some people's experiences were horrific." That's how I see it. Me, I DO have some fond memories, but acknowledge that while I was making fond memories in one place, others were having horrific experiences in another place.

Actually, I left Roman Catholicism a few years before I ended up with twi. I went from the RCC to monotheism, and didn't think any Christians had the answers I needed, and they certainly couldn't be found in the Bible. I think God has a sense of humour. I got the answers I was looking for, IMHO. (Along with some harmful stuff I WASN'T looking for.) So, as always, I'm thankful I got in (I got answers I needed, I met some loving Christians), and I'm thankful I got out (I separated from dangerous attitudes and arrogance, and could see other Christians as equals after leaving.) Some people insist that those who warn about the harm from twi are blithely refusing to acknowledge there was ever any benefit from being in twi, and I'm usually counted among those they mean.... ....which is odd, since I keep saying "I'm glad I got in, and glad I got out", which means I see 2 sides to this story.....

I'm chagrined I don't have it yet. I'm sure I've heard it before.

Next movie: "This is where the fun begins!" "That wasn't much of a rescue." "So this is how liberty dies – with thunderous applause."

You're much safer starting from scratch. Try reading the Bible for yourself, or talk to some other Christians who never heard of vpw, twi or whatever, or do some searches online for work that doesn't include twi buzzwords.

I think we didn't see this show. Please accept you stumped us and take another or make it a toss-up or whatever.

*blink* I got some sleep. It's GOT to be a "Lethal Weapon" movie. For the sake of moving this along, may I be permitted-this once- to use a scattershot guess, and say A) Lethal Weapon 2 or Lethal Weapon 3 or Lethal Weapon 4?

Poll for why you were marked and avoided

Ditto. When lcm drew his "line in the sand"(1988-1989), I did my own investigating, and-based on what lcm himself and his cronies said themselves, I made tracks. -
I couldn't find it either. Can we get a link or something?

[WordWolf in boldface as usual. I shall also shorten the original post. Feel free to jump back using the arrow or scroll up for the original post in its entirety-I kept what was germane to my reply.] All sin still comes down to the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life. (I John 2:16) Taking money or sex out of its proper place- like stealing money from God's people, or using a coersive method to get them to have sex with you- is sin, and falls under those categories, too. Sin still has a powerful hold on people. God forbid His people learn to accept sin!]

I thought that behaviour was a bit different, depending on if you were dealing with a brown bear or a black bear. (Or a polar bear of course, but we're not talking about them...)
