I really wanted to give someone else a shot, but now that it's been 26 hours... Cast Away

Well, I would have done it, except, you see, I was 2. Forgive my lateness.

I have not. John didn't ask me my opinion when he got married. I didn't live with them. I was not in their lives. I look at this as none of my business.

Yes. One of these things is not like the others. One of these things just doesn't belong... Can you guess which thing is not like the others Before I finish singing this song?

Exactly! And soy hot dogs! Don't even get me started!

I didn't have this experience at all. I thought it was quite the opposite: one CG was out of the picture, and only when CG was out of the picture, VF began dropping TWI doctrines like hot potatoes: pre-trib rapture, dispensationalism, and "once saved always saved," for lack of a better term.

Well, unless pineapple is sausage with sugar added, putting pineapple on a pizza negates said pizza from any longer being a pizza. It may look like a pizza, but that pineapple on it... it sorta changes the rules. Long hair, sweet face, feminine figure... and what have we here? The Crying Game? Well, I don't care what features that character had in common with women: he wasn't a woman, by virtue of the presence of... well, you know. Same thing with pineapples on pizza. It's the Crying Game. I'm telling you.

Nothing secretive about it. I said I was going to do this before you left. And you are one of the "you know who you are" in the opening post.

Not quite. It's like saying "arsenic free water."

Ketchup and tomato sauce are NOT the same thing. Ask any four year old.

Cheetos. Six pack of Jolt. And Pineapple-free pizza. And I ask myself: Self? (Yes?) What would the world be like if ExWay Daryl were straight? Hmmmm...... ~~~~ ~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If ExWayDaryl were straight... He and Raf would have gotten into a fight at the ! wedding over a certain nurse. No one would get Raf's showtune references. His pictures of Jen-o would be ... (remainder of this item deleted by former FCC Chairman Michael Powell). Leather sales in Chicago would drop by 43%. Village People CD sales in Chicago would drop by 73%. He'd attend the Radio City Christmas Spectacular every year to see the Rockettes' legs instead of their outfits. That annual parade in Chicago... well, it JUST wouldn't be the same. He'd wear a Fuschia handkerchief: code for, "I'm straight. Stop looking at my behind!" In the Navy, you can sail the seven seas, in the Navy... (thanks to you know who you are for the assist).

I respectfully accept your respectful disagreement. But I don't see not one hint of a self-serving attitude in Jerry Barrax. Not even a little. Not a hint. Nothing. Zip. He's got no followers. He's got no church. He's got no control over anyone. He just sincerely thinks that's what the Bible teaches. I don't assign the same motives to VF as some others here do, but that's me. I also haven't dealt with him since he made this doctrinal change.

I MIGHT be able to come by that weekend. But I'd get there late. And I'd leave the next day.

I'll tell you what really scares me: This thread (as of right now) has NOT been moved to Just Plain Silly. Which means our proprietor must think there's some merit to me taking over the role of Satan. Is Pawtucket really... What the Hay?

Latino Review???

Do you put tomato sauce on a hot dog? Goodness, I thought this thread was about ME being the devil, yet all of you are introducing these Satanic food combinations. Sheesh.

I'm feeling lucky, punk. Dirty Harry "Slick shoes! Slick shoes!"

Spelling does not count. And, to the best of your ability on this board, you properly spelled Les Miserables. Oh, and KUDOS for picking that movie. :)--> Edward Scissorhands Johnny Depp Sleepy Hollow

That, I don't know. My stand has always been, believe that I'm right, behave as if they are right. :)-->

Oh you sad, sad man. Rum and Coke is a masterpiece! Pineapples go with pizza like radio shows go with mimes.

The English Patient Ralph Fiennes Schindler's List

Ok. I happen to agree with you. But I still don't see anything self-serving about the stand they're taking. If anything, I'll be it cost them followers.

Of course you can! It's just that the moment you do, it ceases being a pizza.

Heh heh heh.

Self serving, man made, slavery... ? You don't think they resisted this conclusion just as strongly as you do now? These people were taught just as we were. But they studied and came to an opposite conclusion, and they're entitled to do so. Why do you think it happened? Do you think they looked at three scriptures and said "whoops! changed my mind"? I respect that it took a ton of soul-searching for them to go back on a popular doctrine. By the way, VF teaches that "born again" is a reference to the resurrection, not to what we have long referred to as the "new birth." Jesus talked about being "born again" with Nicodemus. He expected Nicodemus to know what it was. That means whatever being "born again" means, it's not a part of some future "mystery" that Nicodemus could not be expected to know. Prove all things. Hold fast to that which is good.
