Funny thing- I know a song that begins ALMOST with this line, so it's probably a completely DIFFERENT song.

I've posted-and post-on boards with LOTS of Trinitarians who are loving. Except when there's certain doctrinal discussions, things tend to go very smoothly- and I've yet to see any board where SOMETHING wasn't controversial.

Mr Hammeroni did as well. I agreed with Ham... Nobody was "ugly" with you. Mild sarcasm, at best, is what I said, which is what you quoted. It RESPONDED to what you ALREADY posted, and had nothing to do with your imaginary "baiting". Someone gave personal testimony. You said "liar." We contested your response. That's not "baiting." The claim, however, looks like someone ELSE was given bad doctrine from twi, suffered by trying to carry it out, and YOU'RE claiming to be the suffering one because you heard later that some people were taught some stuff you didn't like or agree with. How about a drop of sympathy for the ones who actually had to try to LIVE it? This may come as a shock, but the people who are SPEAKING UP about twi are here. Those who wish to remain silent, or refuse to remember, or insist it was all sweetness and light, DON'T come here. And "here", we have people from all over the country (and countries), and across twi's decades, including recent evacuees. Different people, who were in different places at different times, have come forth and said it was taught to them. The logical approach is to admit they probably WERE taught that-even if you weren't. Nero replied again: As did Watered Garden. As did rascal. Your continuing to dismiss accounts of different people from different places and different times as all being part of some singular imaginary "Greasespot region" was responded to by Tom, and I think he has the right of it.

Oh, WD, want to change the subject and draw some heat off of John? Ok, I'll bite. Don't pretend to be an injured party, it's a poor fit. Here's a quick recap to what happened: rascal said YOU used the OLD posting style-from all the way back to waydale, even, to say Which was used, as of old, to take someone's personal testimony, and, instead of saying "I wasn't in the room when it was taught," you said "I wasn't taught this-therefore it wasn't taught and you're a liar". OLD posting style. Don't pretend it's not what you were saying. I replied to YOUR post with That was a reminder that-as has come up a lot-different people were told different things in twi, and not everyone's experience was identical. Just as some things you were taught were supposedly close to perfect, others have reported things they were taught that were far from perfect. There's room for both of you to tell the truth and say different things. Your reply? Repeating you're calling it a lie-without saying the WORD "lie", of course... potato spoke up, as someone ELSE who heard this.... And rascal replied As did Nero.

It's one of my favourites! Yes, let's see who else chimes in.

Ah, I see. However, I DID post a first line this time... :)

This was an improvement. This was NOT an improvement.Microsoft frequently fixes security problems very, very late. IE 7 has better security than 6.0, and has more functionality for websites, some of which won't render as well under 6.0 as they do under 7.0. Up to you as to whether you want to upgrade or not, but why aren't you using Firefox? http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/ Ah, you're just using the Windows internal firewall? You're trusting MICROSOFT for your system security? :blink:

Actually, ces HAD a messageboard, but they SHUT IT DOWN. It was upon request of ces-people that this subforum's info arrived. So, if ces people go anywhere to have OPEN COMMUNICATION, it seems the GSC is the only game in town!

Is this "South Park"?

I'm supposing waysider was right. Although we're not RESTRICTED to OPENING lines to songs, a few of those are rather recognizable: "Please allow me to introduce myself- I'm a man of wealth and taste."

Of course, if it's not in writing, nobody was ever told it, no matter how many GSC'ers insist they were told EXACTLY THAT by corps, LC and so on.

She's done stand-up, and "Mystery Men", and a few other things. What's that one she called something like "Cyrano"? Oh, right! the Truth about Cats and Dogs Uma Thurman Batman & Robin

A number of places, this came up here and there, usually NOT during the teachings, but during other activities and "down-time." Usually, it came up TO A WOMAN, since it was about what they expected HER to do. Since you're a guy, it's less likely you would get this lecture. The lecture you would get would be about making sure your wife knew who was boss, and about making all the decisions. Oh, that's right, I forgot.... if it wasn't in a class or in print, it never happened in twi, how silly of me.... <_<

I think we could have gotten it just from the first line you posted...

Yes, that's the episode called "the Wire." I was just about to post some easier-to-identify quotes. Bashir's all over this episode as he tries to fix Garak. The problem was, Garak had been using the thing as a sort of narcotic, since he hated living on the station. Eventually, he left it on, and when it started to break down and it was shut off, his body was dependent upon its effects. Garak also spun Bashir a number of stories of what he did that got him fired from the Obsidian Order- he killed innocents, no-he let innocents go, no-he had a falling out with his friend Elim, and Elim framed him before he finished framing Elim, and so on..... ...then Bashir finds out Elim's Garak's first name! Go, George.

For those who missed it the first time, I thought I'd bring this one back.

No. "Right church, wrong pew."

I agree with Oldiesman.

"I can't believe I'm eating lunch with a man who thinks The Never- Ending Sacrifice is dull." "I just thought it got a little redundant after a while. I mean... the author is supposed to be chronicling seven generations of a single family... but he tells the same story over and over again... All the characters live lives of selfless duty to the state... get old... and die. And then the next generation comes along and does it all over again." "That's the whole point, Doctor." "I'm a doctor, not a botanist." "Try not to yell at any more admirals for a while." "I wasn't yelling. I was expressing my feelings. Loudly." "Don't you think you've had enough?" "On the contrary. Anyone who talks about the numbing effects of liquor is severely overstating the case." "He did ask for the specifications. Maybe he's trying to find a way to take it out." "Either way, I think I'd like to have a talk with him when he wakes up." "You'll have to get in line." "I'm a doctor. You're my patient. That's all I need to know." "Wrong again. You need to know who you're trying to save." "I think you'll find that I'm experiencing some slight deterioration of my cranial nerve cluster." "Not so slight, I'm afraid. We've got to get you to the Infirmary." "I don't understand it. I shut down the implant. It can't be affecting his blood chemistry anymore, but toxins are accumulating in his lymphatic tissues."

Is it really THAT hard to admit one has an anger problem, and difficulty responding in healthy ways to things one dislikes?

*cracks knuckles* Ok, let me take a whack at finding it.... I don't think this song's identifiable by THAT line, but we could do this SAME song off a DIFFERENT one-line, I think... Here's another line from that song..... "Stone cold sober as a matter of fact!" or we could do the first line, which some people would also get.

Ok, let's see.... "I can't believe I'm eating lunch with a man who thinks The Never- Ending Sacrifice is dull." "I just thought it got a little redundant after a while." "I mean... the author is supposed to be chronicling seven generations of a single family... but he tells the same story over and over again...
