Saw Monumental

[Madman]

I took my wife, son, and mother-in-law to see the Documentary Monumental. It was very good and laid out lot of very valuable information about the formation of the USA.
It was interesting to see how history has been intentionally warped for political and anti-Christian reasons.
Sorry if you missed it. It will be in Plano TX next week.

Kirk Cameron talked about it on Michael Medved's show yesterday. Sounded interesting.

Anything Kirk Cameron endorses is suspicious to me. I saw fireproof........

I'm suspicious of anybody that advocates going back to how things used to be with the pilgrims. It's fun to think of fleeing to the new world to escape religious persecution...if only the whole intent weren't so that you could then persecute everyone who doesn't share your beliefs. Christian Taliban at work!

Ham....you're a classy one sir. You stay classy San Diego.

Anchorman, great movie. Not a bad sig line when I get bored with Dodgeball stuff.

Perfect example of revisionist history. The only question is "are you doing it intentionally or out of ignorance"?

Fear not, I'll watch it online for free somewhere.

I understand a sequel was announced yesterday. Personally I hated Anchorman but thought you might enjoy knowing that.

I do, and thanks. I thought it was funny, not on the same level as Talledega Nights or Old-School, but a lot better than Elf.

I watched this last week finally. Boy was I right...it sucked.

[calebmatthews]

I was a good movie. Its not a movie for entertainment but a movie to point out the the problems of our nation.

I have succesfully avoided it thus far.........heck, I still haven't seen "Courageous" even though I am a Christian and these two movies are almost required viewing in such circles.

I was 9 yrs old when our church congregation had to watch "A Thief in the Night" for Sunday service. For a young person, it was nothing less than abuse.

I haven't. Sorry to have stepped rather heavily into something about which I really know nothing.

I followed a trail in my mind about the "good old days" that obviously was of my own fabrication.

I deleted that previous post...I see it really doesn't belong in a discussion about a movie I haven't seen.

I didn't intend for my question to sound aggressive. It is a documentary about the “Fathers Monument” and how the Pilgrims came to land in the “New World” and what their thinking behind it was. I believe it to be of value from a historical perspective.

I will admit I wax and wane on my feelings about the revolutionary period, but I always come back to the fact that God can take anything, even if it is bad, and sanctify it for His use.


As for the "Good ole days" I lived through them and they were not that good.

Okay.

[Slewfoot]

My wife and I have heard good things about this movie from those we trust...we will support it.

[Slewfoot]

We finally bought the DVD and watched it. I thought it was great.

I've never heard of this movie. What about the other rapture movie from the Albany Church, Left Behind?
Is it because you don't believe in the rapture or the way it is presented in the old movie? Even at nine it just didn't seem right?

[Six million dollar ham]

Kirk Cameron's sticking up for Todd "legitimate rape" Akin now. Great guy.

I know you were asking Gem, and not me. But it is a 70's flick, not by that Albany church. And about as horrible a movie as one could imagine. Awful in every aspect. Hippies with tamborines singing songs about the end times. Evengelists that look and sound a lot like the preached in "There Will be Blood." Bad effects. Stupid dialog.

Just........bad.

Amen.
Which is why Rom 8:28 is a "life" verse for many.

The Albany Church had absolutely nothing to do with the Left Behind movies

Thanks for setting me straight.
