Guys, unless they fall off the face of the earth, whoever last correctly guessed a song is the next person to POST a song. So, if you want to post one, read, think hard, and try to guess. And no fair looking them up anywhere. Which means it's SHARON's turn, since she got the last one. My comment about inviting me in was about the end of the song... "Wolves are gathering 'round your door? Ask them in..." Go, Sharon!

But it was an improvement over the third movie losing the entire Marauders subplot when 60 seconds of exposition would have explained a lot... (Second challenge) "That sounded a bit like Percy singing. Maybe you have to attack him while he's in the shower, Harry." "Winky is seeing no one!" And, apparently, no one is seeing Winky. Both were trimmed out. Dobby should have been left in, even if only for a moment before the second challenge. Trimming out the match, mascots and weighing of the wands cut about 10 minutes or more fromthe film. This also cut out John Hurt reappearing as Ollivander, which was a disappointment to lose. No "spew", no Krum mangling Hermoninny's name. We also missed the "amazing bouncing ferret." We did get a few laughs with Snape during the asking-out stuff. We can hope, but I wouldn't put money on that one. I like sleuthing the series, so I have the WWP fan books, plus the actual series, and the companions- "Quidditch Through the Ages" and "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find them" which JKR wrote for charity. I'm a big enough fan to get a "S.P.E.W" button next chance I get, but not a big enough one to buy robes and a wand from Alivan's, either. But I'm guessing I know what's on your wish-list... :)

The least you can do is invite me in...

The title, as such, does not actually appear in the song. However, one word of it appears in the chorus, and the chorus may remind you of the rest of the title... A little practice, and I'm sure you'll tune up your missing memory.....

I'm sure they can supply the 10-foot pole if that's what you want, but it would cost you extra....

If what I learned in cultural anthropology was correct back in college, Levi Strauss was the guy with the company that sold the denim pants, and Jacob Davis was the guy who patented the rivets on the pocket-corners. The Davis story as I read it was: Davis knew this miner (as in miner '49er) who was always shoving his tools in his pockets and ripping them open. So, he'd complain to Davis every time he came back to town, and paid Davis to repair them. Finally, Davis riveted them in sheer frustration. When the guy came back NEXT TIME, the pockets all survived. Davis stopped laughing and took out a patent. :) As I understand it, Levi Strauss had a catalog with a lot of items, like the old Sears catalog (or the new one). Item 501 was the pants. So, they retained the name "501" all this time out of continuity. 501's are the button-fly jeans. I once read-from an unverified source- that 501 was the number of rivets used on a pair of the pants. I never believed that because I know that 100 rivets on a pair of pants would make them needlessly heavy and impractical, and 501 of them would just be silly.

If you can hear the chorus, that may remind you of the title....

Fine, I did this before, but I'm game.... My answers will be based primarily on Acts. (And supplemented from the Epistles and Gospels.) Trick question, since you tacked on "and how was that applied in twi?" It was NOT applied in twi. It was not applied in the "Christian" KKK, either, or the "Christian" Spanish Inquisition. True Christianity is based on the action and direction of GOD ALMIGHTY, not the dictates of LORDS OVER GOD'S HERITAGE, nor the yoke of bondage of rules and regulations. Jesus himself said it would not be that way, and I'm inclined to consider him an "expert witness" on the stand. They continued work-and Paul made sure he set the example as a tentmaker/saddlemaker/ chicken inspector so they would continue to do so. They made sure the widders and orphans were take care of. (They appointed overseers for that very thing.) Seems they were "CONCERNED" with their "careers" and families. Paul pointed out that if a leader didn't take care of his FAMILY FIRST, he wasn't qualified to be a CANDIDATE for leadership, much less a leader. So, they did do their jobs-and those who were slaves were told to be good slaves, even. They did make sure they had decent habitation and their families were tended to. This included their extended family-taking care of their parents was specifically mentioned. Using the loaded terms "career" for job, "home ownership" for "house", and "earthly families" for families is an attempt to prejudice the answer- in a sense, push-polling. This is especially true of the phrase "PRIMARILY". Nobody is speaking about "primarily", either of the 1st century, the 20th or 21st century. There's that leading phrase again... As TheEvan pointed out, this wayspeak term has no real meaning, and basically was invoked as "whatever twi says to do"... Well, they and everyone in the history of humanity can be said to have "fellowshipped" with "people of like minds" or "people of like beliefs", including all the pagan nations, oppressors, and so on. This hardly narrows the focus of discuss ion. I mean, the people in the fuzzy animal suits fellowship with like-minded believers. sports fans fellowship with like-minded believers. Black Militants fellowship with like-minded believers. White Supremacists fellowship with like-minded believers. REPEATING a contentless phrase adds no content to it, but this WAS an old twi trick to head off logical discussion... Well, EVERY group of Christians-and groups claiming to BE Christians, and groups with any sort of tie to Christianity, and groups relating to Islam, and political activists, and PETA members, and the John Birch Society, they "witness" also. Some of them even have ORGANIZED PROGRAMS to do so, like twi does. Funny, the Book of Acts mentions NO SUCH PROGRAM..... How much time, on the average, does it take to hold a belief? I've clocked it as "negligible", using my stopwatch.... Keep repeating the buzzword, and it takes on a religious special meaning despite meaning nothing initially.... One more time ought to do it.... This is a function of MILLIONS of Christians in the US alone, alive now. This is HARDLY a "distinguishing mark" for twi. In fact, a keeper of the Eleusinian mysteries or the historical "assassins" or other groups would claim to have been "born again" as well. "What is truth?" -Pontius Pilate. twi's "truths" included things like "all the women in the kingdom belonged to the king", "thoroughly and throughly mean different things", and "Christian was a term of derision referring to the new birth", all of which are patently false. The 1st century Christian church had a better track record than that..... You've repeated it enough to bypass our conscious minds! You may now shave our heads and collect 15% of our income! Or, maybe not. You made assumptions and jumped to your conclusions. See, we're not "in your church" and you can't tell us what to think. You have to "make a case" and use REASON and LOGIC. You can't declare victory by divine fiat. (Actually, you CAN, but then we'll just feel pity for you.) Making zero preparations is bad stewardship. Nobody making war just heads out- he checks his supplies and forces while still at headquarters, and calculates victory or defeat before moving. A fool will move forward with no planning. That's in the Epistles AND in Sun Tzu's "the Art of War". Making a point of being committed to God is good, but taking a figure of speech literally when it is meant to be figurative is foolish. Saying "what shall we eat?" and concluding we're not supposed to worry about that, and therefore not shopping for food and getting snowed in for the winter will mean that either you'll need a food miracle, or they'll recover your body in the spring. Who decided that these were their "PRIMARY CONCERNS", and not just solid planning? (I know, Oldiesman, but other than him?) Naming them "PRIMARY CONCERNS", however, helps maintain the ILLUSION that twi has sound practices and doctrine... Actually, you're suggesting they're making God of secondary importance in your life, so, you are claiming that these are "GOOD" things but not "BEST". See, I can still play "twi-speak" too, when I want.... Actually, you like to reming yourself that some slogans and twispeak SOUNDS pious and holy. It's like listening to Knute Rockne recordings. It may be a BETTER thing for folks to step aside from the sloganeering for a bit and look COLDLY at what "leadership" DEMANDED they do in the guise of "moving the Word". Nor does it necessarily mean you DON'T, but God forbid you DO and stay involved in twi.....

No, there were quotes from lcm's wap class. There were quotes from lcm's wap class. I thought you just said it was "because I said so" and there were no direct quotes. Now you're admitting there were lcm quotes. In your opinion. It made a substantive case, if you weren't looking for those EXACT words, but found the identical CONCEPT sufficient. One person quoted directly from lcm's class. Another claims some people told him those quotes don't exist. Since the first person is quoting directly (and has the burden of proof, which they provided), and the second person lacks access to said evidence, and never looked into EXACTLY WHAT WAS CITED (session, page, etc.) which person should the logical reader believe made a stronger case? Style is not equivalent to evidence OR logic. Doesn't matter if lcm himself posts and admits to it, complete with RealVideo clips and RealAudio clips from it and pdfs of the pages from the books, you still will find an excuse to disbelieve it. Folks who've tried to reason with you should be able to confirm this. Congratulations! You proved that one page from the PFAL syllabus-which no one ever disputed- said that. Have an egg cream! Now, if you want to show what twi "ALWAYS taught", you'll need to post the image from the wap class. What? You don't HAVE it? Then this business about what twi "ALWAYS taught" is actually what PFAL said and nothing else, and your claim that it's what was "ALWAYS taught" is specious to say the least. (And a bald-faced lie to say the most.)

Go ahead and post it. If one or two dipsticks have difficulty with it, they can skip the thread.

Now I'm curious what your song sounds like. I couldn't find its lyrics online- just notes that people would LIKE its lyrics. And I think "MC Hammer" dropped the "MC" years ago. ============ New song. "There's a gun with ammunition Just inside the doorway. Use it only in emergency." All the militia posts lately reminded me of this line, I suppose.

(I chopped down this post following... Unless it was reprinted, it was LIFE Magazine. I tracked it down when I was in college.

By "real miracles", I take it you don't mean the "parking-space-in-front-of-the-supermarket, which was the standard later, correct?

"Battlefield promotion". That's how they announced it. It was discussed in a previous thread which I raised...

Somebody asked about Rivenbark....

That's exactly how I saw it. An apostle is a SENT ONE. vpw came out of NOWHERE with this "an apostle brings new light to his generation. It may be old light, but to the generation, it is new light." Absolutely NO verses were used to support this, you may recall. Each ministry was just DEFINED. vpw made up this convoluted definition so that it would apply to him as he was seen by others. He then left it unstated for others to connect-the-dots. (Of course, since everything he taught was CURRENT and available ELSEWHERE, he didn't even fit his OWN definition, except by propaganda.) He called himself "THE Teacher", defined "apostle" so it could be applied to him, and did the SAME to "evangelist". He said an evangelist is one who PRIMARILY get the other Christians fired up for witnessing, NOT that THEY do the witnessing. Funny how it allows HIM to get the title without going on the field. Among some people, he claimed to "pastor" them in private. (Ask Ex C how well that worked.) That leaves "prophet", or "one who speaks for God". Anyone think he didn't want himself seen as "one who speaks for God"?

Should be "Missionary Man". I think that's a Eurythmics song, but it MIGHT have been an Annie Lennox solo venture. Haven't heard that song in quite a while... I don't think they get a lot of airplay.

Daredevil Stan Lee X-Men Stan is like Waldo on all those Marvel movies. If you know to look for him, he's easy to spot. (In Daredevil, he's the guy that young Matt Murdock stops from crossing the street against the light, in X-2, he's on the beach when that guy slogs onshore, in X-Men he's a hot-dog vendor, in Spiderman, he's pushing a kid out of the way as the Goblin rains concrete on the crowd.)

Supergirl Helen Slater The Legend of Billie Jean Funny- nowadays I remember Vic Tayback as much for his one Star Trek episode ("A Piece of the Action") as I do for the entire series of "Alice", which I've seen a lot less recently. *checks his IMDB entry* Hey! Vic Tayback was in "Dead Heat on a Merry-Go-Round"! That was when Harrison Ford played a bellhop and was told why he'd never make it as an actor. (The "bag of groceries" incident.)

:) Star Trek: Generations William Shatner Airplane II: the Sequel

If we were doing tv episodes, I'd say this was the "Lifebomb" episode of "Tales from the Dark Side." (That was creepy.) Since we're doing movies, I'll guess "the Producers".

Please direct threads of a DOCTRINAL nature to the DOCTRINAL forum.

This was probably confusion over the demonaic hanging out by tombs. This is not the same thing as a disembodied SPIRIT hanging out there. Then again, when it came to "Advanced class level" stuff, vpw seemed to just recite material with no understanding of it, and wing it when he wanted to expand on it.
