I will be reviewing one quasi-edit based on feedback and asking other moderators to reconsider the rest. Thanks for the feedback

Ned Beatty Superman Christopher Reeve (Rules note: you CAN go with a sequel, but only to move on to an actor who wasn't in the original. And then you can't go back to another sequel unless you're moving to yet another actor who wasn't in... Example, it's ok to go from Braveheart to Mel Gibson to Lethal Weapon to Danny Glover... but once you've got Danny Glover, you can't go to Lethal Weapon II and pick the actress who played Glover's wife. However, you CAN go to Lethal Weapon II and pick Joe Pesci, because he wasn't in Lethal Weapon. All of which is to say... you can use a Superman sequel here, but you can't go to an actor who was in the first Superman).

Say hello to grandmama... You're up

Seriously? Okay, um... Life isn't some cartoon musical where you sing a little song and all your insipid dreams magically come true. So let it go. ... I thought this city would be a perfect place where everyone got along and anyone could be anything. Turns out, life's a little bit more complicated than a slogan on a bumper sticker. Real life is messy. We all have limitations. We all make mistakes. Which means, hey, glass half full, we all have a lot in common. And the more we try to understand one another, the more exceptional each of us will be. But we have to try. So no matter what kind of person you are, I implore you: Try. Try to make the world a better place. Look inside yourself and recognize that change starts with you. ... "Actually, it's your word against yours. And if you want this pen, you're going to cooperate with my investigation on finding that missing otter, or the only place you'll be selling pawpsicles is the prison cafeteria... It's called a hustle, sweetheart." "She hustled you good! You're a cop now, Nick! You're gonna need one of these!"

Are we supposed to ignore the fact that Galen just posted?

Hayden Christensen. And if you haven't seen Shattered Glass, please do so immediately. It proves that HC is a very good actor ill served by George Lucas.

It is Stephen Glass. Now stop whining. It really makes you seem less threatening when you whine. And just name the actor.

Y'all on doctrinal turf.

Oh, I'm up. ok... David Rice Sam Monroe Stephen Glass Clay Beresford Name the actor. There's one more character, and it's a giveaway (though the other character has been played by more than one person). One of the characters listed above would also be a giveaway for me, but I'm not so sure it is for the rest of you. It's a work thing.

"Say hello to Grandmama. Ice 'em!"

But Clarence doesn't exist. He's a fictional character. Plenty of room for anyone who doesn't exist. Hence... all of them.

And that would be incorrect. :)

All of them

Free-ish post. I'll try to come up with something, but if someone thinks of something first and wants to jump in, I won't complain.

That would not have helped

Oh! Only heard of it, never saw it... The Parallax View to a Kill

I'm not opposed to the notion of developing classes, but I am opposed to the notion of charging for them unless the recipient is getting something tangible in return or it's clear that we're paying for rented space. Or both. From my understanding of CES and, later, STFI, those who paid for the classes actually GOT the class. The whole set of tapes/CD's. That's fair. You're selling a product. But in the case of TWI and its offshoots, it really seems to me that these classes are less about teaching than they are about cultic-socialization and indoctrination. And yes, there's a difference. Teaching develops critical thinking skills. Indoctrination does not. TWI talked a good game when it came to critical thinking, but it was manipulated to the point that what we were actually taught and encouraged to do was parrot what the organization wanted us to think and say. Without exception, all of these "foundational classes," from PFAL to WAP to Whatever-the-devil-they're-calling-this, do not seek to teach as much as they seek to encourage group cohesion. Here's what to say. Here's how to say it. Here's what to think. Here's how to think it. Without exception, they all begin with their conclusion, and encourage us to disregard anything that challenges that conclusion. What's the greatest secret in the world today? The Bible is the revealed Word and Will of God. Really? That's the greatest secret in the world? Because if so, it's poorly kept. Lots of people believe that, whether they phrase it that way or not. Cures for cancer, ALS, autism, amputee regeneration? Not as secret as something believed by millions. Nonsense. And along with being the word and will of God, it's perfect! One preposition out of place and your Bible would fall to pieces (until a preposition is shown to be out of place. Then you're nitpicking). In any other field, if you start with your conclusion and discard anything that conflicts with it, you're an intellectual fraud. But when it comes to the Bible, you're steadfast! I attended a church in South Florida that never seemed to see a need to "run classes." If they wanted to start a class, they just started teaching on the subject every Sunday. Keep coming to church, and you've got the whole class. Yes, they recorded it, so if you wanted to see it all again, you could buy it later. But if you want to find the class from five years ago? Yeah, good luck with that. It shouldn't be about the classes. Ever. It should be about the content, which should be shared constantly. Anyway, good luck with this class, JALynn. I'm sure it will be an improvement over the last one, but not over the next one.
