Now, I expect most of us became Christian because our families introduced Christianity to us. Apart from that, however, what are everyone's personal reasons for believing in God? -- Fri Jul 13, 2012 11:13 am -- Hm. It seems no one finds this topic interesting. Well, I believe in God because of diffe...

Oh, not knowing there were two Whit actors is a common mistake, 101, as I expect you know. I've already mentioned I made it. Tom was a delight, a down-to-earth, cheerful man. We all miss him, of course. He had that genuineness of character that made us think of him as real. He had that wonderful voi...

Well, how nice. This will be interesting. What is it, Hannah?

Disagree away, girl, but unless you have FAR more convincing refutations than "I disagree" you aren't going to be very convincing. ;) I know you have your reasons, and it's fine you disagree with me, but unless you back your disagreement with those reasons, I don't find your statement very...

Thank you for that clarification, Hannah. I suppose if people in Pentecostal churches are always striving to speak in tongues, it's somewhat possible.

Um, I'm sorry, but why would they re-release veil when the world presumably knows they were to prelude to world domination?

Hmmm. This wasn't quite what I envisioned when I began this topic. Yes, it would be... interesting of Wooton was Mr. Charles. He'd probably kidnap Connie and make her drink raspberry soda all day. However, I was thinking more along the lines of maybe Jason could finally get with back with Monica, or...

Priscilla's not a favorite of mine, but she would provide a contrast to the other characters. They're super colorful, she's normal. Besides, what could be more fun than a tween woman in the IS constantly needing to go to the bathroom? -- Fri Jul 20, 2012 10:20 am -- Emily holds a contest in Odyssey ...

We're all biased here, as it seems we've all been baptized in certain ways, but I was baptized as a baby and here's my take on that. A lot of people frown on child baptizing because, of course, the baby has no idea what the heck's going on. This was never much a problem in the bible. Often, whether ...

All the adults, and a lot of the teens. hm. Actually, that's a lot MORE than I figured. I may have to go to your church, Hannah. If that place is all it seems to you, it's miracle central.

Dream on. But yes, many of us wish that. Personally, I don't care as much as I could. Harley was edited out of all but the measly three shows he was left in long before I fell for AIO. Of course, that may true for you. I dunno. In any case, it's a pity so many people complained the got rid of him, e...

Certainly not! I was exaggerating. I just meant she spoke as if, at her church, it's not highly remarkable. Where I come from, there doesn't tend to be more any people being giving amazing metaphysical gifts from God that appear during mass. As I said, I've read many books in Christianity, I've also...

I believe I can (gasp) agree with everything you just said! I'd say your amazing and fascinating comment deserves a, as Suzy might say, "AMEN!"

Wellington is a splendid villain. A royal pain. One can't help getting a bit on Talia's side in For the Fun of It, though that wasn't the writers intent I'm sure. A truly good villain generates such responses, unless they're going for a more rounded, complex villain. AIO has no shortage of such vill...

Whit didn't really make Applesauce but stole it. And he made Whits End because his inventions' send mind control waves into them. The mind control waves are designed to kick in at a carefully chosen date. He fought so hard against Nova Com because they were breaking in on his business. Oh, he's also...

I and my sibs sometimes sing it too as part of a joke. But, as far as being annoying, (ugh, I'm sick of everyone using that word describe AIO) we all know the Happy Smilers were supposed to be annoying! Even though they're annoying, or, perhaps because they're annoying, they're pretty funny.

My dear Thinker 101, please allow me to cordially invite you to go jump in the lake. Ha ha, you guys are so funny!

Ahem. An entire church that's able to speak in tongues in unusual. Hannah, I don't know WHAT is going on with your church, but either it's the most miraculous thing since the grotto, or there's something crazy and weird happening there. Not to offend you. But with all you say about your church in yo...

Yes! In fact, I cam across before I ever got on here. I have visited it a number of times. Frankly, some of the reviews are just big step-by-step spoilers, and very boring. But I like most of them. They can be quite excellent.

How can I put this... You're wrong. Utterly. I'm not going to dig through Letters looking for a specific passage, but here's a near-quote: Let him search for emotional stimulation in prayer. And let him learn to measure the worth of his prayer based on that emotion. So, one shouldn't always be looki...
