Okay, Linda Z, I need to nitpick... Linda Carter didn't start that other thread. She was the first to respond to it. Ok, I'm better now. :)-->

Easter Eggs: The Fellowship of the Ring (Extended Edition) From The Two Towers:

Yophoto, Welcome to the Cafe. How do you take your coffee? I concur with your memory: You practice something wrong long enough, you start making a doctrine out of it. Of course, in real life, it's reciprocal. It's kind of a chicken-egg relationship. Which comes first? Doctrinal error or practical error? The answer is... yes!

Brewmands, Just where did you think LCM got his elitism and false teaching from? Wierwille, who forgot more about the holy spirit than other Christians will ever know? Nah, no elitism there. Wierwille, who taught it was the FEAR in the HEART and LIFE of that MOTHER that killed that child? Nope, no false doctrine there.

Linda Z, Your post should be required reading at Greasespot 101. :)-->

Jon, Maybe if someone was lauding the people who hurt you as THE men/women of God for our time, you might spend a little more time, how you say, "pummeling yourself" over it. Can you check your pt please?

Can we not psychoanalyze Linda Carter? We don't know her. She posted her opinion and people responded. If she wants to post again, she will. If she doesn't, she won't. The only thing that we know for sure, as Dot pointed out, is that she chose to come out swinging. More power to her. Linda, You're still welcome here, but come back soon. Your coffee's getting cold.

Plagiarism: The Integrity of Your Word.

Coming Soon: Ocean's Twelve, a sequel to Ocean's Eleven. I'm waiting for the first 10 prequels.

There's an even better one at the end of the first Two Towers disk (extended version). Go to the scene selection, all the way down to the last scene. Then go down one more and press enter. It's the acceptance speech by Andy Serkis at the MTV awards for best CG character. A friggin RIOT.

Zix, Creepy. But I came up with a different answer on the tavern: The Kraken

Technically, "Clear and Present Danger" was the third movie featuring CIA Agent Jack Ryan, so that would make it a part three that was awesome. In my opinion, it's the most intelligent third part of a film series I've ever seen (the first two being The Hunt for Red October and Patriot Games).

Here's something I don't understand. This thread has grown phenomenally in less than 48 hours, but smikeol has nothing to do with it. What's up with that?

Is it 50 years? I think it's less than that. Frodo is 50 when he leaves the Shire. He's 30 at Bilbo's party. So anyway, I'm reading the friggin books, okay!?!?!?! They're about to enter the Mines of Moria. Bill the pony has that look on his face right now, that special look that says, "I'm Warg food."

Now now, Valerie, he's not around to defend himself, doncha know. translation for the ironically impaired: valerie's story is an example of how wierwille defended himself when he was around to defend himself.

I'd like to announce my intention to plagiarize this line whenever possible. Here's how I put it in my article on the main page:

Lorna, Your post reveals to me that you do not understand what plagiarism is. You think it's teaching on the same topic and covering the same material? If you teach something and I like it and I go out and teach the same thing, that's not plagiarism. Stop misrepresenting Wierwille's plagiarism as just some innocent act of a sloppy writer or perceptive preacher. It was a deliberate act of deception. The reason it matters is simple: Integrity. Wierwille didn't just teach the same thing, and it is an absolute insult to compare him to the Apostle Paul in that regard. Wierwille took what other people wrote, slapped his name on it and called himself a researcher. Then he copyrighted HIS books! We have a word for that in Spanish, but this is a family message board. :)-->

Lifting a line from Dot's excellent post above: Folks, this is what VPW did when he was alive to defend himself. The fact that he's not alive to defend himself now doesn't impress me much. This is how he defended himself when he was alive.

Read the parodies! Read the parodies! http://www.livejournal.com/users/mollyringwraith/1826.html http://www.livejournal.com/users/mollyringwraith/5635.html There's more. It's hilarious.

Dear Linda, Have we met? Your name rings a bell, and not just because of that TV show from the 70s. I'm thinking of a ride from Silver Bay to the Bronx. If it's you, send me an e-mail! God Bless You and welcome to the Greasespot Cafe. I'll get you some coffee. The Living Epistles Society

Oh wow, Zix, check it out. It's almost like the webmaster read this thread and included a photo from Aliens. Wow. What an amazing coincidence.

Oakspear, I notice that you give a reference for every scripture you quote, and a link for the article you quote. You even give a link for the site that led you to the article. This leads me to suspect that you don't buy your own argument. Plagiarism is, essentially, presenting someone else's words or thoughts as one's own. That is not the same as learning from others or correcting their spelling. It is not the same as using someone else's words or thoughts, but properly crediting them. I think you know that.

There was one point where I thought Frodo and Sam were going to get a room.

Lorna, You think I copied you? No way, I think God gave us both the revelation to say the same things. I think my copying you is proof that what I have to say truly is from God. Further, since what I have to say came later, and contains some changes from what you have to say, I can only conclude that God improved the message after you botched it, and my version is closer to His original intent.
