Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev’s off-air comments that Russian Presidents are given a secret file about extraterrestrials living among us created much media interest. Most news reports claimed that Medvedev was simply joking. His apparent reference to the Men In Black movie as a source of information on a super secret agency that monitors extraterrestrials on Earth was commonly cited as key evidence that he was in fact joking. The reasoning is that no political leader would refer reporters to a comedy to clarify national policy. It has now emerged that Medvedev was not referring to the Men in Black comedy after all, but to a recent Russian television documentary titled “Men in Black” that reveals many details about an extensive cover up of extraterrestrial life visiting Earth.
However, a more accurate translation of what Medvedev actually said about the Men in Black phenomenon was: “You can receive more detailed information having watched the documentary film of the same name.” So Medvedev was referring to a Russian “documentary film” titled Men in Black, not the Hollywood blockbuster by the same name...
Russian Men In Black (MIB) documentary, a number of prominent UFO cases in Russia and the USA are discussed. The Roswell UFO crash is covered, along with a number of extraterrestrial abduction cases, and UFOs disabling nuclear weapons facilities. The documentary examines testimony that extraterrestrial bases have been established on Earth, and that some are in restricted US military areas with the full knowledge of the Pentagon. The documentary even goes on to seriously discuss President Eisenhower’s alleged meeting with extraterrestrials, where agreements were reached with some of the visitors giving them permission to take some of the Earth’s resources in exchange for advanced technology...

That is something up with which I WILL NOT PUT!!!
Is it possible that a grammar nazi killed an undead thread?
Would “ There isn’t a book in our library that I would want to part with it.” be better?
We used to have The Cross and the Switchblade on the shelf. I think it moved out after everyone had read it. Everyone who could read at the time.
I hope your production is a success! My church has done musicals of the Gospels, composed by Marty Haugen, famous for writing hymns that everyone likes except the kind of people who don’t like what everyone likes. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. Our music director is talking about another musical next year; maybe I’ll have time to be in it, or at least try out.
If it were possible, I would have done it many years ago.
What makes this special is the fact that David Wilkerson founded our church, and Nicky Cruz has preached here.
Thursday the 10th, when people from our Church were handing out flyers, a 65-year-old man came up and told them that he was there when Wilkerson started working with the youth of New York. He gave one of our worship leaders a 20 minute interview.
Last week the altar call filled the aisles and went into the lobby. Our original run was 2 shows, with the second being tonight. After the request for group seats came in for tonight's show, we added four more through February.
I have to tell you, the young people playing the gang members and their girls paint an outstanding picture of the people Wilkerson reached out to. The young man playing Nicky Cruz is positively scary (as I understand Cruz himself was). If even 25% of the people who respond to the play take root (the parable of the sower), there's going to be a powerful move in the inner city here this year.
IMHO, King writes great stories but can’t write a good ending.
Wonderful results! I’ll pray for heart-deep conversions from your remaining performances.
The endings on his last few books (The Dark Tower Series) seemed to have just piddled out. Nothing was “exceptional” and I was left with a feeling of disappointment.
The only two books that didn’t disappoint me were the two I mentioned earlier.
I finished “The Pillars of Earth” night before last, and the ending was a little more docile than I expected it, but it was still and awesome read.
Right now, I’m reading “He Needed Killing.” If books are too complex, I have a hard time understanding them. (CFIDS does that.) So I try to stick with action and/or thrillers, and hope I don’t miss too much.
:o|
“The Shining” wasn’t bad, just not epic. Of course, Kubrick ruined the film. King said it was because Kubrick really didn’t believe in God.
Joe was posting yesterday, and I haven’t looked for him today, but I think he is all right. I have no way to contact him except by ping or FReepmail.
I have a few irons in the fire other than FR right now, but I’ll be here as often as I am able.
Just getting older can make complex books more difficult to follow, too.
At one point in my father’s mental decline, he could read and understand text, but the next day he wouldn’t remember what he had read, so he couldn’t read novels or non-fiction books. I got him some magazine subscriptions then (Cat Fancy, American Cowboy), and he enjoyed Oliver North’s “War Stories” collections, because each section of 6-10 pages was independent.
I need to find a friend in publishing. You've just suggested a new line of books that could be as big a gold mine as the "For Dummies" line.
Some days, it’s the comprehension that is lacking, other days it’s the concentration.
“A kid’ll eat ivy, too!”

“If even 25% of the people who respond to the play take root ..., there’s going to be a powerful move in the inner city here this year.”
That’s just the smallest sliver of what is brewing globally.
Sink your teeth into this, and pass it on to any “yutes” in your church whom you may be aware have a call on their lives. Subsidize their participation, if you can.

MASSIVELY excellent things are afoot. As Lewis would have put it to his Narnian friends, “Aslan is on the move!”
Just you let THAT — and all that it implies — get down into your roots.
Bob knows about publishing. He writes whole books and everything, as well as poems that rhyme and scan.
