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!

Robin Williams Good Morning, Vietnam Robert Wuhl

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...

Nice. And I did NOT make this easy. The actual clues in there, as I saw them, were.... 1) Luke Duke was previously in the Marines, which came up a few times, like when he used a hang-glider, and in the episode I quoted. 2) Uncle Jesse told the others, more than once, to communicate by CD on the emergency frequency. Oddly enough, I didn't FIND that quote, I had to recall it. 3) As their parole officer mentioned, their first names were Beauregard and Lucas. Pretty quick, George, but now it's your turn.

ckeer, Jun 16 2005, 02:38 PM , "Athletes of the Spirit" thread. "I assume you are talking about the movie Staying Alive and the Show within the movie- Satans Alley. I remeber LCM saying he used it as a basis for Atheletes- I think I rember him showing clips from it at an explanation/ teaching about AOS." TheHighWay, Jun 16 2005, 11:52 AM, same thread. "Do you all remember that Loy-boy accused Sly of stealing his ideas for this movie from their original Athletes ROA production? Supposedly that was part of the reason Loy wanted to do a full-blown AOS... he stated he wanted to "do it right" and thumb his nose at Hollywood's devil spirits. Oh my... talk about ego." Bob, Jun 17 2005, 11:23 AM, same thread. "Here's what I recall Craig saying about AOS and Staying Alive: Sometime in the late 70's / early 80's, TWI did a skit on the ROA stage about AOS. Supposedly, someone from Hollywood was in the audience watching, liked what he saw, and copied it for use in Staying Alive. Loy got ticked off when Staying Alive came out, said they copied their ROA skit. So Loy copied, verbatim, the Satan's Alley section for AOS. If anyone can be sued for copyright infringement, it would be TWI by the producers of Staying Alive." outandabout, Jun 17 2005, 12:53 PM. "LCM came through San Diego one time around 1984-85. He used a scripture about learning things from "a little bird." In other words, the devil could transmit info via devil spirits. Thus, the original Athletes from ROA was given to the people who made "Stayin Alive." Therefore, TWI could take what they did in the movie and use it because it originally came from TWI. Uh huh... of course it all made sense to me at the time because LCM said it. He also was on his Seed of the Serpent trip. His big example was Steven Spielberg." TheHighWay, Jun 17 2005, 09:35 PM. " I was in-rez the year they were working on AOS, and every time Craig came to town (Emporia) he would talk at great length about every aspect of the production... his thought processes, the reasons behind all the costumes and dance moves, blah-dee-blah-blah... I'm sure I have the specifics somewhere in my notes, but off the top of my head, he stated that Sly Stallone was clearly "influenced" because at the time he and his wife were planning the timing of the conception of their child with star charts and the like. Because Sly was "influenced" he was getting insight into how to put "Satan's Alley" together accurately... ruling spirits, underling spirits, the decadence,writhing, etc. Craig said he wanted to do it from a Godly, Biblically accurate perspective. (essentially showing the devil up, not that he put it like that)." My list of ripoffs from that thread: "I caught the "Satan's Alley" segment. They could have sued his head off. "Satan's Alley" features: the scaffolding the villianess in red the villains in masks the grasping/writhing the "hero" in white the rising podium section the grunting/yelling sound effects the jumping combat the flying kick the white light representing the presence of God the one-one-one combat towards the end with the guy's shirt off" ============== Rascal, from the thread on the Passion of the Christ, Mar 24 2004, 11:39 AM "This reminds me of the whole athletes of the spirit fiasco.... LCM came to the advanced class ...he was so excited about having seen the *staying alive* movie with John Travolta....there was a scene where in the production John Travolta was doing involving a battle with devil spirits....Lcm was all hepped up about how twi could do it better ....more accuratly more skillfully more dramatically...yada yada ...and thus the conception of aos was born...simply because HE, lcm wanted to show the wolrd how twi could do it bigger and better than Holly wood ever could...... You know........even vpw couldn`t dissuade him from it.... That ws the way it always was when I was in twi....if they hadn`t done it first....it wasn`t worth doing... Twi`s critisisms are so childish."

lcm had a short "athletes of the spirit" thing- BTW, that term was used quite a bit before lcm got it, by the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and others- a few years before. That one, vpw supposedly complimented. One poster said that lcm came back from seeing that movie, and insisted they could do that scene a lot better- the scene titled "Satan's Alley" in the movie. That's how it officially started. Supposedly, lcm didn't announce he wanted to star in it, and was surprised when someone suggested it. I think it was another case of lcm hinting around, and when someone finally said it, he jumped all over it. Watch the scene sometime. You've got the scaffolding, the oppressed, the saved ones, the good guy as the male, the bad guy as the female, the corresponding uniform colours match, and the big fight scene has the good guy without his shirt. Honestly, they took everything from the few minutes of the movie, and started from there.
