Lifted Up

Then you CC what I mean.

Just like the driver, huh???

I just thought of another 9th corps I ran into that fall, but she wasn't at HQ...it was when I went out for LEAD, I think her name was Diane something, and I think she was from Canada.

"Submitting" such as Kristen had to do, to stay in "fellowhip"; to prove that she was still "spiritually mature", was apparently so established that she did not outwardly question what she was asked/told to do, and in turn submitted any doubts that arose in her mind to the doctrine that if the man of God says it's OK, then it's good. But I find it interesting, according to what she wrote, that a flag went up right away when she came across VPW's writings on Hitler and the Holocaust. I think that finding and reading those writings (I'd sure like to hear more from her on this) helped her realize that she was being abused. Anyway, I'm sure that starter of this thread could say a lot about those writings.

Hey, we have something in common then...shall we try for more when my youngest son's birthday comes up in 8 days?

Tonight I'll dream of someone threatening to pull out their $140 million offer to me to work for them...

Oh. Well, I hadnt been following this thread and didn't check back. But I should have dedicated my question to the late Ellen Crean (and perhaps Charlton Heston) . The two of us had a lot of talk back and forth on our favorite movie. As for Star Wars...and I erred, it was really "empire" I meant...I was thinking of my FC and my namesake (2 different stars of the movie). P.S. You're still up; let's have a good one!

Well then you could probably take a pretty good shot if it were a guessing game. Anyway, I also didn't want to imply I knew this person well; I just remember her as I do many others with my infamous TWI memory. Lemme see, some 9th corps at HQ that fall of 1979, RN & CN, JK, BP & SP, VD, LR, DB, and I know I dont have them all... P.S. You have a list...is it of all who were in, or graduated, or what...e.g. a list of graduated 8th corps would not have me on it...

I'm being very careful not to make mine too hard, because we're not dealing with quotes. But maybe i can make them a little harder than I have been. Yes you've got it...go ahead.

Adopted boy grows up and gains high level government post, but has serious differences at work with his adoptive brother.

I've wondered about that myself. As far as the birthday thing, I think some people do that on purpose, maybe because they don't want to reveal their real birth year, the idea being that no one could possibly think they arereally over 100 years old...of course some, like Psalmie, are simply having fun!

The only one that came to mind right away was "West Side Story", but maybe it came too fast to be the right guess...

I didn't mean to start a guessing game, I just by habit don't freely toss names around; should I mention the name here? Initials were LR. One reason I remembered this little act is that I saw it on my way out of the dorm to get filmed running. We were told that the filming crew was going to film runners in a particular area. This paid off in me getting shown, though briefly and from fairly long range, alone in the center of the picture on "Changed".

OK, I see Raf is up on both these movie threads...guess we gotta give him a little space...

From my point of view, things have worked out great. I have always preferred cold and snowy winters over sizzling hot summers, so that part fits well with having a wife from Siberia. While I must concede distance was a determining factor in my choice of college back in the '60s, climate might have tipped the scales in the same direction I wound up going...I was accepted at Penn State and Florida State. To change the subject, there was a 9th corps I knew at HQ I have never asked about or seen mentioned (As I have mentioned others such as Simon). This one I remember from snapping a picture of this person leading a bird call demonstration at PFAL77. I still had that picture at HQ. Almost all other 9th corps that fall at HQ I think I have mentioned or seen mentioned over the last few years.

Yep...I suppose my not so hidden "chasing" clue gave it away, and as george, I have also used this one in "Flick".

I think the last two comments go pretty well together.

I was right; hadn't seen it at all.

Is the main theme of this threa something like... I can say "this church is not for me" withough saying "this church does not please God...' ???

Hey, didn't WALL-E just come out on DVD?

Hero and new girlfriend run into his wife. After a lot of chasing around, girlfriend gives up, hero and wife get back together, and live happily ever after. If someone can't think of a reasonable guess and wants more clues, lemme know...

Okay, give me just a little bit of time. This is not as easy as "Name That Flick" where you can just post quotes...you have to be slightly creative here!

Do you think you can transfer this "everybody is happy" idea to the political forum? :o

Well, then, maybe I can give The Hunt for Red October a shot.... Sean Connery

Try this...let admonitions of where not to buy be accompanied by choices from which we should choose where to buy. Then we will see how fast someone can rip apart the "good" choices.
