LOST In Questions Episode 4

Other questions I have about LOST.

Why doesn't any of the characters learn any Korean and why does the Korean couple not learn any English? I think learning to say hello is at least something that they would be through in a day or two.

What was Kate's crime? Is she really guilty?

The sixteen year old recording was on the tail section? Or am I hallucinating that Jack found both in the same spot? If the recording was going on sixteen years, why have they been there only seven days?

What is the deal with all those dolls at the water hole?

Why does Jack's torch drip flames? If the torch was dipped in a flamible liquid where did he get that?

Is the reason Jack can't find his father's body is that Jack is dead, so both are now in eternity? If they are in eternity, where are the dead people on the plane?

Why would you burn the bodies in the fusalage? I would take them out, burn them some where else, and use the fusalage as raw materials for building shelter or use it as shelter.

Where is the washer and dryer? All those clothes look too good.

Terry, here's my take on a few of the questions.

The Korean couple is being driven by the husband to isolate themselves from the rest - this is why they aren't learning English. I did read a plot spoiler though that will bring a bit of clarity to this.

Since Kate's little episode is nod to The Fugitive, per the producers, I'm betting she's really not guilty.

The sixteen year old recording wasn't in the tail section - it has come from some other place on the island which the current castaways haven't been able to find.

Don't know about the dolls at the water hole though the TV Guide article says that every prop has a purpose - it'll come back into play sometime.

I'm guessing that the dripping flames is caused by a production mistake.

As to them being dead and in eternity, what I read in the TV Guide article and what Jared from Mysterium Tremendum speculated on is that they are in purgatory and their version of purgatory could be a very imaginative place.

They had a reason for burning the bodies in the fuselage that I can't remember. Your point is good. I know they scavenged through the fuselage before they burned the bodies so maybe that is the answer. Would the bodies have started to decompose after 2 or 3 days? Maybe they didn't want to touch the bodies.

I'm not ready to make an issue of the clean clothes yet since they've only been on the island seven days - they could have packed for a long trip. But this will be something to consider in the next few days.

In The Hours

In The Hours Words by Helen L. Parmelee Music by Kevin Twit http://www.igracemusic.com/hymnbook/lead/inthehours.pdf This song by Indelible Grace is one that really moves me. I think it moves me because it reminds me of my own story. The words remind me of God's work in my life through the blessing of suffering. A lot of my best days walking with my Lord has actually been days of suffering. Verse one reminds me of growing up when I felt rejected by others but God was my song. 1. In the hours of pain and sorrow, When the world brings no relief When the eye is dim and heavy, And the heart oppressed with grief While blessings flee, Savior Lord we trust in Thee! While blessings flee, Savior Lord we trust in Thee! Verse two talks about my drifting from the Lord when I was caught up in pride and the sin of self-sufficiency. 2. When the snares of death surround us, Pride, ambition, love of ease Mammon with her false allurements, Words that flatter, smiles that please Then ere we yield, S...

Was the New Testament Letters Only Written to Male Brothers?

  Question:   Was the Bible written to men only and not to women?   Some teach that the New Testament letters address brothers exclusively.      Executive Summary Answer:   Women and men share in the blessings of the gospel, Scripture was written for both women and men. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. (Gen. 1:27 ESV) Answer:   The Bible recognizes differences between genders but also recognizes the commonality between male and female genders.   The book of Proverbs is written to sons to gain wisdom.   “Hear, my son, your father's instruction, and forsake not your mother's teaching, for they are a graceful garland for your head and pendants for your neck.”   (Prov. 1:8-9 ESV) The book of Proverbs was written in order to teach young men wisdom.   Even so, often it is the female gender that teaches wisdom.   Early in the book, the male gender,...

Bridging the Chasm

My good friend the Jollyblogger has been writing on Bridging the Chasm , meaning the church communicating with the secular world. In the early 80's YWAM put out a pamphlet on missions prayer. One of the things they encouraged Christians to pray for was different areas of influence: * Government * Business * Media/Journalism * The Arts * Education * Entertainment (I'm not sure that is the complete list.) As I prayed for these areas of influence, I found that Christians really wrote about a couple of these in the early 80's; Government and Business. For government you had movements like the Moral Majority and Focus on the Family writing actually about a very narrow aspect of government; moral issues. Yes, I'm grouping all Focus on the Family's issues in the area of moral issues. The government is so much more than moral issues. The business issues were mostly addressed by Bill Gothard, Larry Burkett and later Ron Blue. I'm not sure how ade...
