There's actually a couple I saved on the "Gems" thread, because they sat there, "like a duck."

One poster spoke with an innie, who looked and saw the Utah landscape, and said,

"Everything is so out of order here- God would have never created such an irregular and desolate landscape."

Meanwhile, I saved one from ck:

"While Dr. Wierwille might have had a devil spirit I don't see why that really matters."

and from the numbered greg:

""That is what the KJV says, the only version that is right."

"Do you like scrambled eggs?"

"What does that got to do with this?"

"Where there's chickens, there's eggs."

*smash*

"That was a funny place to put a barn."

"You try that fool stunt again and I'm gonna find a funnier place to put one."

"Why don't you use some of that fancy stuff they taught you in the Marines?"

"That's what he just used on me."

"I still think what you need is a good scare, and the best way to do that is to eat the food here."

"Well, how do you think I got the hiccups in the first place?"

"Be ready to make the pick-up in exactly five minutes. Copy that?"

"Check. Exactly five minutes. Give or take a minute 'cause I ain't got no watch."

"We'll communicate on the emergency frequency!"

"How bad is it?"

"Real bad. If it was a horse, we'd have to shoot it."

"Hey, when all this is over, I'm gonna adopt you two.

"That might not be a very good idea. He'll eat you out of house and home."

This was one if the rare tv shows that featured a character whose first name was "Beauregard."

This is the series conclusion for Deep Space 9.

NOT the last episode- it's the one where the Dominion War is finally concluded,

Cardassia's liberated, losing the Dominion their Alpha Quadrant base,

and the air-war is taken to its peak.

Cisco meets with the Founders one last time, and convinces them to take an active

step in the episode-by controlling the Wormhole.

Am I right?

Just checking-these all DID get airplay of some kind on some radio station, right?

"Do you like scrambled eggs?"

"What does that got to do with this?"

"Where there's chickens, there's eggs."

*smash*

"That was a funny place to put a barn."

"You try that fool stunt again and I'm gonna find a funnier place to put one."

"Why don't you use some of that fancy stuff they taught you in the Marines?"

"That's what he just used on me."

"I still think what you need is a good scare, and the best way to do that is to eat the food here."

"Well, how do you think I got the hiccups in the first place?"

I still want to know what the idea is in naming a hospital show "House."

If they make a show about a house, would they call it "Hospital"?

Ok, let's see, I need a tv show...

I missed the loyster's version of the sex class..

amazing though, how people who's definition of proper arrangement and deliberate decision is "I'll let you do whatever you want if you let me do whatever I want.." were sought out for their "wise counsel".

I wonder what they thought when they looked in the mirror.

Maybe they covered them all with black paint or something..

Finally remembered what I was reminded of when you asked about the mirror.

The lyrics to a Rush song called "War Paint."

The chorus goes

"All puffed up with vanity

We see what we want to see.

For the beautiful and the wise

The mirror always lies."

I'm thinking that separating the person quoted from the quote is a good idea with this thread....

House?

Irish, there's a 1985 cut-off due to the advanced age of most of the posters here. Please keep the songs pre- 86

That's not a RULE, but a general "rule-of-thumb" I came up with for myself.

Seems most times I post something after 1986, I can post the whole song and nobody

gets it. Around Halloween was the last time I tried to disregard my personal "rule",

and we had about a week where I was posting songs nobody'd heard of.

If you google "[name of show]" and "quotes," you'll get a number of hits that you can use: IMDb, TV.com, maybe Wikipedia, and fan sites for the show in question. That should hopefully give you enough quotes. (TV.com often has quotes for individual episodes.)

Give it a try!

George

Between the IMDb listing and a Wikiquote page, I can usually find a lot of quotes,

at least for more recent shows.

Was it "Phat Girls?"

I know you.

I thought you were gone!

Were you expecting some sort of guilt feeling to arise within our hearts? Or was it fear you were searching for, aiming at, trying to stir up within others here?

This is the worldwide web.

Think about it.

Let's see...could it be that anyone could read about our experiences and we know that and that's why we tell, tell, tell???

What was that poem about the bridge? It fits here nicely, imo.

The Bridge Builder

Author: Will Allen Dromgoole

An old man, going a lone highway,

Came, at the evening, cold and gray,

To a chasm, vast, and deep, and wide,

Through which was flowing a sullen tide.

The old man crossed in the twilight dim;

The sullen stream had no fears for him;

But he turned, when safe on the other side,

And built a bridge to span the tide.

"Old man," said a fellow pilgrim, near,

"You are wasting strength with building here;

Your journey will end with the ending day;

You never again must pass this way;

You have crossed the chasm, deep and wide-

Why build you a bridge at the eventide?"

The builder lifted his old gray head:

"Good friend, in the path I have come," he said,

"There followeth after me today,

A youth, whose feet must pass this way.

This chasm, that has been naught to me,

To that fair-haired youth may a pitfall be.

He, too, must cross in the twilight dim;

Good friend, I am building the bridge for him."

Hello!

I don't have all the answers, but I have a few, and I thought your post deserved some

replies. So, forgive me if this doesn't seem to have helped.

I grew up in TWI until I was about 16 or so. I have no idea why my family left or was forced out, I don't even know which.

For a lot of people, it's not clear if they left or were forced out...

We went WOW to Abilene, TX twice (home WOW? something like that) in the early 80's. I was going through an old jewelry box the other day looking for earrings for my daughter and came across my mini-WOW pin. Talk about a blast from the past. From there, we went to Lake Charles, LA. I remember taking a Grayhound bus by myself at 13 from there to NK for Teen Summer School. I have the group picture somewhere. I really enjoyed parts of TSS, especially the greased pig contest and the concerts, and picking fresh cherries off the trees by the dorms. But that summer was where my comfort level in TWI really went south. I had a 'boyfriend' there, and the adults encouraged me to sleep with him in his sleeping bag. He was the son of some fairly high-ups, and really intimidating. It was difficult not to go along with everything he wanted me to do, and some of it I only got out of because I had my period.

those with connections. If you were an insider, others covered your mistakes

and so on.

Most of us here were never in that inner cadre...

I also remember being sent into a dark closet to SIT continuously until I could be heard clearly from outside the closet because I was too timid and not filled with the Spirit. I learned very quickly to make up a few SIT's and Prophecies and committed them to memory so I could fool them into thinking I finally figured it out so they wouldn't send me to the closet again. I sat through PFAL so many times in my youth that I still know the song word for word, and could probably teach the darn class myself now if I hadn't burned my syllabus. Same with the advanced class.

twi was a good place to learn to fake godly phenomena, depending on where you were.

Here's a question I have long wondered, that maybe someone here can answer. I was just a kid, so I really don't know. Did TWI encourage homosexuality or pedophelia? I remember one adult woman who always wanted to hold my hand and kiss me while we were walking around at ROA. I never remember anyone telling her to leave me alone, or chastising her for behavior, but rather telling her what a sweet friend she is to take such good care of me. She'd always go with me to the showers. It always felt so freakin creepy.

Under lcm, that turned into "you will be ridiculed and belittled if you're even SUSPECTED

to be gay", and a new label to slap on dissenters was invented -"homo sympathizer"-

invented or promulgated by lcm himself.

Unofficially, if you had connections, everyone looked the other way if you were gay,

same as all the other stuff that OFFICIALLY was disapproved-like adultery and so on.

At least one poster has claimed to have caught twi's current president in bed with

someone of the same sex "while the crime was blazing", so to speak.

And that stupid armband, what was that about? I remember white, yellow, and blue, different years. It was always so hot at ROA, and that band was itchy.

I'm now a fairly well-adjusted adult, almost 36, very happily married, three kidlets ages 15, 12, and 3. We're in southeast Arkansas and sometimes attending a Baptist church. I look forward to getting to know y'all!

As someone stated, the armbands were used at the ROA for id.

When I was in, blue was pfal grads, red was outgoing wows, yellow was "haven't taken pfal",

and white was "I turned my armband inside out to confuse people."

Hope you enjoy your stay here.

WOW! It really got THAT hokey?

Yup.

That was in the 90s, under the lcm regime. vpw made lcm twofold the child of hell

that he himself was, remember.

lcm made his own foundational class, etc. When each class was finished, the students

were ASSIGNED to write letters about how great it was, using specifics.

Those were then used at hq to legitimize the class, as if they were unsolicited testimonials.

In short, it DID get that hokey.

Oh, and please pass the link along to someone...

Play a game, and people get fed.

The advertisers pay for the food.

On your end, it's that simple.

Snopes vetted this one: http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/charity/freerice.asp

"He could never sneak up on me. Father would tell me."

WELL I SNUCK UP ON HIM. Well I caught him with just his fruit of the lums. There was a meeting at the University of Houston back in 76/77. Someone told me to go out to the buss and get some boxes of material. I go bounding into the buss and there is the good old Doc in his skiveess. Shouldn't he have known I was coming. That is the only time I had a one on one meeting with him. I can still remember the look he gave me. Just ask me what I was doing and let me get the box and leave. No face melt or anything.

Then again,

if my front door was open and anyone COULD walk in,

I wouldn't be in my skivvies.

I don't need Father to tell me that wasn't prudent.

If you think it's fine for a church leader to show a pornographic scene from a pornographic movie to people in a leadership-training program,

you might be in a cult.

If you think it's fine for a church leader to show a pornographic scene from a pornographic movie to people in a class on Christian families,

you might be in a cult.

If you think it's worthwhile for a church leader to put together a class on "sex" for his congregation, and include stills from

pornographic movies and descriptions of bestiality,

you might be in a cult.

If you think it's fine for a church leader to own a pornographic pen and show it to youngsters he's teaching,

you might be in a cult.

If you think it's fine for a church leader to be married and come on to other women,

you might be in a cult.

If you hear that a church leader came on to other women, and you're primary response was

"he was trying to toughen them up spiritually",

you might be in a cult.

why yes, i believe i helped p.bear, with my abundant sharing....

I believe we all did- we paid for its upkeep, maintenance, equipment, etc.

not to mention all the people who worked there for free-

no, wait-they PAID to work there!

I think if you're going to determine whether Jesus had brothers & sisters or whether or not Mary remained a virgin you have to go with the only source that addresses these issues: the bible. What we think is common sense is not necessarily what the writers of the bible thought.

Matthew 13:55-57 (New American Standard Bible)

55"Is not this the carpenter's son? Is not His mother called Mary, and His brothers, James and Joseph and Simon and Judas?

56"And His sisters, are they not all with us? Where then did this man get all these things?"

Mark 6:2-3 (New American Standard Bible)

2When the Sabbath came, He began to teach in the synagogue; and the many listeners were astonished, saying, "Where did this man get these things, and what is this wisdom given to Him, and such miracles as these performed by His hands?

3"Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon? Are not His sisters here with us?" And they took offense at Him.

Do I think Mary and Joseph had kids together? Sure. I'm pretty confident about that.

Do I think they were considered Jesus' brothers and sisters? I'm pretty confidant about that, too.

Some people don't count ADOPTED children as "really" children, but-unless one is talking about genetics

and inherited genes-I beg to differ. And that's with NO parents in common.

Some people disagree. Good for them.

Titanic

CORRECT!

Which makes it your turn.

Here's where the quotes fit.

"Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death..."

"You want to walk a little faster through that valley there?"

Jack to someone 1/2 blocking his path, as the ship was sinking.

"What's the use? Nobody's listening to us anyway."

"Well, they didn't listen to us at dinner either."

The musicians, trying to play to lower panic during the evacuation.

"Gentlemen, it has been a privilege playing with you tonight."

The last line of one of the musicians, as they finish playing.

"I make my own luck."

"So do I."

Probably the line that gave Ca the answer.

Rose's fiancee and that detective-guy, as one has a gun in his pocket,

the other the diamond.

"Everything he knows is wrong."

Decades later, commenting on what the captain "knows"- he's presuming the ship can

steer and corner enough to dodge anything it sees-

so he has it go full speed into water known to have icebergs,

but the ship's rudder is too small, and the ship masses to much,

to make sharp turns like he's expecting.

"Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death..."

"You want to walk a little faster through that valley there?"

"What's the use? Nobody's listening to us anyway."

"Well, they didn't listen to us at dinner either."

"Gentlemen, it has been a privilege playing with you tonight."

"I make my own luck."

"So do I."

"Everything he knows is wrong."

The routines I've liked best were the hat routine, mentioned above,

the routine where Lou supposedly has no idea how to gamble with dice,

and the audition where Lou sang "My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean"....

Is there anyone who doesn't like their most famous "Who's on First?"

http://www.angelfire.com/movies/budandlou/Dice.txt

That's the text for the dice-game, when Bud was supposed to hustle Lou, and Lou was supposed

to be the pigeon being hustled.

The audition is mostly visual, and you'd miss too much.

"Maverick"?

George

No, and I'm glad I did this one. then. I thought it was too easy.

(I actually could have gotten it from quote 2 or 3, but then, I'm eccentric...)
