For the record, this thread was started when we still had a politics forum. And it was mostly intended (it appears) as a "wish him well" thread. A similar thread started today would be really difficult to moderate. I wish our new president well. That's all I will say.

Really seems awesome to see some of the drive-bys from time to time. Sorry for the delayed reaction, but nice to see you, Zshot!

Aladdin Robin Williams The Fisher King

Like I said, Bradley Whitford. That guy from those shows with the hair. Liz Gilbert Tess Ocean Isabel Kelly Anna Scott Vivian Ward Name the actress.

OMG, I totally expected someone to use that exact line at some point. Arrow and Legends are fantastic as well. Enjoy the rest of this. (Just the tiniest bit confusing if you're not caught up on both shows, which I am not).

Jaws: The Revenge Mario Van Peebles New Jack City (and I think I WIN the game with THAT one!)

Minor spoiler: you can skip the Supergirl episode if you need to save time.

My previous post was from memory, but then I started looking at some other folks' work on the subject of tithing and it jogged my memory on a couple of points. There is no evidence that Abraham tithed more than once. There is no evidence Jacob tithed at all, not even once, though the Biblical evidence is consistent with him doing so at least one time. What's interesting about Jacob is, his promise to tithe came with a BUNCH of conditions. Oh, I'll tithe, but first you gotta give me five golden rings, four calling birds, three French hens, two turtle doves and a Partridge played by Susan Dey. It's also interesting to note that for both Abraham and Jacob, there is no indication whatsoever that God set the amount they were to give. It was their idea in both cases.

Neither do I, to be honest, but the upshot is this: Very few people tithed in the Old Testament. It was never a rule that applied to everyone. Abraham tithed one time. Once. Not every dang week. No evidence that Isaac did, Jacob, etc. In the New Testament, tithing is not mentioned as a requirement or even an expectation for believers. Giving (whether above or below 10 percent) was a response, a natural reflection of each believer's assessment of various qualities in his life (faith, love, knowledge of the Word, experience in living the Word, and zeal for the movement of the gospel). Ten percent is neither an upper or lower limit for the Christian believer. If I ever find all my work on these subjects, I'll let you know. The foundation for it was 2 Corinthians 8.

The 2009 movie was named "Star Trek." It had no subtitle. Just plain old ordinary Star Trek. Also, pretty sure the "kindness of strangers" quote is "A Streetcar Named Desire."

The. Name.Of. The. Movie. Was. Star Trek. That's it. Just "Star Trek."

Star Trek. That's it. Just Star Trek. No bloody Motion Picture, Wrath of Khan, Search for Spock, Voyage Home, Final Frontier, Undiscovered Country, Generations, First Contact, Insurrection, Nemesis, Into Darkness or Beyond. Just Star Trek. (the 2009 reboot)

Is this thread even remotely doctrinal?

Character 1: "'Phone'? He said 'phone'? He said 'phone'?" Character 2: "Can't you understand English? He said 'phone'." Title character: "Home."

Star Trek

With the hair.

That guy who was in those movies and that show.

Yes!

Right era, about. Wrong movie. "There's no way, *no* way that you came from *my* loins. Soon as I get home, first thing I'm gonna do is punch yo mamma in da mouth!"

Yes. Me.

My version was funnier.

Jason Alexander?

No. It's more than three days. Cheat.

I've consulted with the mods (no I haven't). Well, with all the mods who check in regularly (which means me and pretty much no one else). The ban stays. No politics.
