Members rudywoofs (Pam) Posted December 31, 2013 Members Posted December 31, 2013 I was just watching an old "All in the Family" episode where Mike and Gloria are expecting their first baby. Archie and Mike are arguing, because Mike is an atheist. Archie tells him, "that baby's going to have a religion, and I don't care if it's...." and proceeds to list religions, including, "Seven-day Adventurers." lol Quote Pam Meddle Not In the Affairs of Dragons; for You Are Crunchy and Taste Good with Ketchup. If we all sang the same note in the choir, there'd never be any harmony. Funny, isn't it, how we accept Grace for ourselves and demand justice for others?
Members phkrause Posted December 31, 2013 Members Posted December 31, 2013 LOL, I loved that show. I kinda remember that! Quote phkrause When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan. Proverbs 29;2
CoAspen Posted December 31, 2013 Posted December 31, 2013 Quote: "Seven-day Adventurers." Hey! I like that! Wouldn't that be a great name for a religious group? Quote
Administrators Gail Posted December 31, 2013 Administrators Posted December 31, 2013 LOL Well, yeah, it could have been a lot worse! Quote Isaiah 32:17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.
CoAspen Posted December 31, 2013 Posted December 31, 2013 ...for God! Seven day has a different meaning than seventh day. One sounds like a continuous experience vs a one day experience. 'jus sayn' Quote
Moderators Kevin H Posted December 31, 2013 Moderators Posted December 31, 2013 That was a powerful and amazing show. Too often we look at the friction between the left and the write. I read an article once that it was written to make people on both sides think, by making fun of and showing humorous extremes of both the left and the right. Archie who tended to be the "bigot" who did not want his feelings to show, and Mike the "open" Liberal, yet when push came to shove and there was a crisis, Mike tended to retreat into himself and had a better ability to be supportive of strangers than those close to him, and Archie would reluctantly be the one with the heart and be there for people.

Members phkrause Posted December 31, 2013 Members Posted December 31, 2013 Great points Kevin. Most(SDAs) look at it and just say "you shouldn't be watching this garbage." I look at shows and try to see the positive points its trying to make. Of course there are many shows that have no value at all. Especially many today.

Members rudywoofs (Pam) Posted January 1, 2014 Author Members Posted January 1, 2014 I liked "All in the Family".....my mom wasn't too keen that we kids should be watching it, but had to "give in" because my father liked it. There's not many classy television shows on today. Give me the old-time classics!!! (just saw one of the old "What's My Line?" programs the other night...pretty cool!)
