That's offensive. I work with special needs children. I don't like seeing them used to make a joke.



I have a deaf son and when he was about five a strange lady showed up with her Bible and wwanted to pray over him so he would suddenly hear again...she was convinced that her prayers could heal him.....she had seen him get off the bus and realized he was deaf

Did I allow her in NO.....I said thank you but NO....my dad said I should have allowed her to try because maybe it would have worked....hmmmm......my son is sixteen and still deaf....and always will be deaf.....

I love crazy people and always let them pray over my children......

Sadly, I can't recall Goldthwait's voice. I slightly recall it having a very unpleasant tone, but that's it.


For whatever reason, the voice I hear while reading juliann's posts is similar to that of Pat from the "It's Pat!" sketches on Saturday Night Live. I have no idea what juliann looks like, but that's most definitely the closest "celebrity" example I can think of as to what I imagine she sounds like: sort of nasally and sniveling, with the occasional snort thrown in for proper, porcine measure.

Wow. Thanks for reminding us that sometimes REAL LIVE people are even nuttier and scarier than internet people. Sometimes I forget because the "real life" people I deal with regularly are pretty sane. Most of the time. ;)

I just realized something about myself. I must listen to far more political junkie stuff than I watch movies and TV, because I'm having a hard time hearing any of these voices. I can't remember a thing about Pat's voice.

But I do know, from my political junkie world, who Juliann sounds like. Again, so obvious... Anne Coulter!! Come on, tell me she doesn't have Anne Coulter's voice!!!

Even though I still imagine Juliann sounds like Gilbert Gottfried, I picture her looking like Frau Farbissina from the Austin Powers movies. I imagine she has a little black leather number tucked away in her closet, complete with whip.

And I'm still sticking with Dick Cheney for Pahoran. I just read the entertaining "why doesn't God heal amputees" thread on MAD. (a MUST read thread)

http://www.mormonapologetics.org/index. ... 488&st=100

The context:

Hammer claimed:
Not really. I know a guy who had his foot crushed by being run over by a hugh ground mover. When he was at the hospital they were in the process of preping him for surgery. The elders were called and gave him a blessing that he would not lose the foot and that it would be completely healed.

The doctors were in the room as were some nurses and the elders. They all watched as the foot regained its form and was made whole. That isn't remission, that is major reconstruction.


Then later he said:
It happened in Hawaii 30 + years ago-- I was the elder who pronounced the blessing. I witnessed the miracle-- the native members, one of which was the man healed, claimed I was another Mathew Calley. I was the instrument in several such blessings on the Island. Don't worry Bra, I can't come up with all the names, but if you request a special viewing of my life's experiences after this life--- maybe the Good Lord will see fit to let you see what wonders He does perform here.


Jaybear:
As for the basis for our cynicism, its not because we skeptics and anti-mormons are inherently dishonest,

Pahoran:
Oh yes it is.

For that reason and no other.

Jaybear:
its because in the entire history of man, there has not been one documented verified miracle.

Pahoran:
Oh yes there have been. Many of them.


When I read this, all I can hear is Dick Cheney telling Chris Matthews that he NEVER said "X, Y, or Z" and then seeing a clip of Cheney saying "X, Y and Z'.

Or a reporter telling Cheney we found no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, and Cheney saying "OH yes we did".

You can't make this stuff up.

I used to do this same sort of thing with the online antagonist against my faith. In relation to them, I posted pictures of Dumb & Dumber, Beavis and Butthead, Chicken Little, Alfred E Newman, Ruth Buzzy hitting Art Carney with her purse, etc.

But, I have since, for the most part, matured and corrected the character flaws and the cognitive distortions driving that need to disparage others in that juvenile way.

However, at the time, I posted the pictures directly to the individuals themselves so they could respond in-kind if they wished, rather smearing them behind their back on a board where I knew they didn't participate. Such a behavior would have been even too low for me then.

Nothing is happening "behind juliann's back", Wade. That you would think that is clearly a cog. distortion.
