He was here at an Archon, I think. Alas, it did not work out. The series has certainly grown since it first began, when William Hartnell was the Doctor. There were times when it appeared to be dying, but it's held on and I think it's doing great!Julie Lynn Hayeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03574029767523627749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6175299018581644634.post-55154162653852920422011-05-21T16:27:23.082-05:002011-05-21T16:27:23.082-05:00When I saw the article in the newspaper all I coul...When I saw the article in the newspaper all I could think was really?. Besides, I wouldn't want to qualify because it appears only pompous windbags who feel superior qualify. I couldn't live a stick up my butt! <br /><br />On a different topic, thank you for talking about Dr. Who. I think this new version of the show is so fabulous. I used to be a little in love with Tom Baker but then David Tennant took over and had Billie Piper for a companion and it was magic. Wow! And this recent episode with Matt Smith was genius. Neil Gaimann wrote an amazing script!<br /><br />Have a great day!Jen B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04737375224830943067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6175299018581644634.post-69985338879279112122011-05-21T12:10:55.086-05:002011-05-21T12:10:55.086-05:00My Katie had a suggestion - we might have to turn ...My Katie had a suggestion - we might have to turn to looting for survival!

Yeah I'm not too worried about going anywhere. I never claimed to be innocent and who'd want to be when there's so much fun in being bad. Okay mostly I write about being bad but you can't have it all. :)Sui Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09710282986658859962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6175299018581644634.post-73748967129397982312011-05-21T11:53:07.987-05:002011-05-21T11:53:07.987-05:00I know why we're still here - snap!

LOL I guess I don't qualify for the rapture either. I've read most of the Left Behind books and they actually made some movies based on the books. Very preachy and although the concept and movies intrigued me because they were fairly well done, I didn't appreciate the alter calls before and after. But since I'm still here and didn't get claimed by the Lord, then it's all good.

Anytime you interpret something into another tongue, you are changing it by virtue of the translation. Words differ from culture to culture, and from age to age. Even within our own lifetimes, words change meanings as new words or phrases gain popularity and signifance for what we choose them to have at any given time. To us, for example, cool means good, interesting, done well, etc, while a hundred years ago, it referred to something's temperature.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by, Kathryn!Julie Lynn Hayeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03574029767523627749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6175299018581644634.post-33453030003582540732011-05-21T11:11:15.992-05:002011-05-21T11:11:15.992-05:00The last iteration of the rapture already spawned ...The last iteration of the rapture already spawned a whole sub-genre of books. There's a series called "Left Behind" which has sold something like 11 million copies over the last ten years or so. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left_Behind) And then there are the copycats and the spin-offs. <br /><br />Personally I wince every time I read someone interpreting the old testament prophets and the Book of Revelations, which is where this whole apocalyptic vision comes from. If you can't read them in the original language, and have a sense of the traditions and culture that produced them, you really aren't getting the meaning. I have yet to see one of these fundamentalist doomsayers who has a really solid grasp on Hebrew or Aramaic. I don't either, but I recognize that the translation is inadequate.<br /><br />Personally I think they were using image and metaphor to try to communicate spiritual insights that they just didn't have adequate words for, and we don't really either. <br /><br />A teacher of mine said recently that he doesn't thinkg the reason historically that so many spiritual teachings were transmitted orally was to keep them secret. He thinks that's because it's easiest to transmit something by demonstrating and talking in person. Communicating the same thing to a remote person by writing about it is much, much harder.Kathryn Scannellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00717480772265142293noreply@blogger.com
