Okay, cool, you don't think it's all. The way you phrased stuff originally, it was unclear.
As for believing in God w/o being a part of a church: Jesus was proclaiming the arrival of a kingdom, not a hermitage.
Oh, I agree. But of the priests who have done those things, we can agree they're hypocrites.
I was trying to overlook his generalization, in hopes that by ignoring idiocy, we can move on.

So priests bang on about homosexuality being a sinful act, yet have no problem molesting young boys.
Fucking hypocrites.
Yes I don't think you'll find too many people who disagree with you there.
Ric2, thanks for the article, particularly the Petrine Primacy section (the only part I read, as per your recommendation). His point regarding everyone sitting down and listening to Peter certainly indicates they respect him, and he wants to end the bickering and move things along, but not Primacy. The difference between Peter's language and James's language, where Peter talks about God doing this and God doing that, while James is all about his opinion, follows from Peter talking about things God has done, while James is stating his judgment on what should happen next, in a way that will be acceptable to those gathered. While Peter lays it out as a fact ("Why are you putting God to the test?"), James's statements are intended to be a closure, offering something on which they can consider coming to agreement, and are thus phrased in a more inviting manner (Peter is, as usual, a little brusque?). The matter is not settled when Peter speaks, as they still have to hear Paul & Barnabas's testimony, and the text is not clear as to whether the agreement in v22 is just on James's implementation, or the whole matter.
The article asks, at the end

If James was the leader of the early Church, or even the first pope, why aren’t his successors the head of the universal Church?
and that's not helping his point. Readers who don't think Acts 15 demonstrates Petrine Primacy probably aren't going to think the Papal claim to Petrine Succession is important.
As for Catholic-Orthodox relations, I agree that the two are more reconciled today than they have been in a very long time (while we Protestants are...all over the place), but I did mean unity.
Jesus said:
By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.
and I've never understood how that fits with schisms. And yes, I say that despite being a Protestant.
If Peter was the first Pope, why did James preside over the Council of Jerusalem?
Why is the immaculate conception a necessity? Why does Mary have to be without sin in order to give birth to Christ? How could she be born without sin?
How can Roman Catholic & Eastern Orthodox reconcilliation take place?

As a matter of fact, I just ordered the German Godzilla Raids Again DVD because it has better shadow detail and looks better than any Japanese release, but of course it has German credits and is missing about a minute or so of footage, so I'm preparing to make the best looking version of the Japanese cut with the missing footage sourced from the 2008 HV broadcast.
I have no idea if this is true or if you're just doing the most effective OT.com parody ever.
Did you bold your thumb at me?

I daresay that Google drive works well, though I don't know if it would work with the Forum software,
Do you mean more than just a url to a file? If so, no.
or if there is still the chance of the video's being reported,
There definitely is
and there is a GB limit..
Which makes it pretty useless
I dunno, I thought it'd be good to see the director's original intent.
Unfortunately, his original intent is hard to understand.
Reconstructed workprint is the better title.
Now, I've never actually seen The Dark Crystal (it's on my to-watch list), so I only got 20 minutes into this but do the DVD extras include:
cause this does.

I'm sure that was cost prohibitive for an in-house effects studio. It was never supposed to be a grand restoration, it was supposed to be something to get TV stations to want to air 40 year old reruns.
In other words, they're cheap.
In other words, they're not willing to spend more money than it's going to make.

Ooh. I thought it spread as a way to make fun of some particular user who did it first. I can't remember who, or I'd bold their name.

My impression is that he's matched the workprint shot-for-shot, only using the original b/w VHS when he has to. Although I guess we haven't seen this VHS to confirm, the alternate audio is pretty good evidence.

Yeah, I know, but I'll be honest, I actually typed a single swear word. Now that might seem silly, but I've always tried to be a good example of my faith here, so I deliberately swore so as to throw off any suspicion. And then just recently, I told moth3r that I did it once and learned my lesson, but in reality I have done it twice, so even admitting that I did it again kind of makes me feel bad. On the other hand, I really want to share it, so...give me a bit if no one guesses it, and I'll probably work up the courage to admit it.
If you aren't going to tell us, you shouldn't have brought it up.
and now that he's brought it up, he should just say it, get it over with, and end all the drama-making.

I admit that I did have one sock other than my participation in TaggartFrenzy. Yes, even after the fact, I did do it one more idiotic time, but it's certainly been a while. For that I apologize. However, I hesitate to mention who it was. I guess if anyone guess, I'll 'fess up, but I don't feel like I can just come out and say it.
That's really... just say it man.
Make that nine.

We get it! You don't like the continuations of the Empire or the Sith! You have expressed this opinion on SEVERAL different occasions! Let! It! Goooooooo!
I feel like that would be counter to the entire ethos of this forum.
Frink, you have to wait 3 minutes.

I wouldn't post at your work if I were you, because you might get fired.
That depends on whether or not he's an at-will employee, doesn't it?
It also depends on what kind of job he has. I know many security guards who wouldn't get in trouble for watching TV while on duty.
No no, it's a legitimate point.

EDIT: Yes.

Should the Empire be anti-alien or not?
yes, as well as white and mostly british.
That last part is pretty crucial.
