SuperBowl 54: US Sports vs UK Sports

by Simon in

so a few things .... apparently it's superbowl 54, and also the centennial of the sport.

erm ... i'm not a mathematician, but aren't there 46 superbowls missing?.

americans claim that uk sport ("soccer", aka real football) is too low scoring.

UK Islamic fanatic shot dead...

know there are always going to be those who will believe I am wrong and seek to disarm me and other law-abiding citizens who prefer not becoming helpless victims,

I also carry, as well as my wife because I will not be a victim. My county has had a huge influx of immigrants and there has been a huge influx of gang related violence and rape by these same people. Meanwhile liberals near the capital seek to find every opportunity to prevent people in the state from legally protecting themselves.

It is amazing they were willing to go to war so that grown men can use the bathroom with my daughter as long as he has a dress on, but they are adamant about removing my constitutional right to protect myself???

Global Entry / PreCheck at US Airports

for those who travel, such as attend international conventions (lol, i had to add a jw thing into this thread), do you have the precheck thing for the airports?

this is the thing where you go in a separate line and don't have to take your shoes off and do all the things that most people do.. it does cost money, about $85 for 5 years.. but for those who travel internationally, the global entry thing is well worth the money.

for only $15 more ($100 total for 5 years) it includes precheck within the us and then entry back into the us without the typical long lines at customs.

My family and I travel to my wife's home in Jamaica 4 to 5times a year. We also take 2 or 3other international flights to see family and friends in Europe and her sister in S. Korea.

We paid for it because I have s son with autism and standing in long lines does not work well.

My problem is I am 6'2, black, with locked hair. Although I pay for this priviledge I get pulled out of the line or stopped for a random security check at least 40 percent of the time.

So although my family gets through faster, my wife is tasked with often waiting ahead of me as I am carted away to be screened and go through the same process.

However, for the majority of the time I get through it is worth it

Something similar happened while I was at Bethel in the 90s. In 124 and 107 brothers were pooping in the toilets and refusing to flush.

It was so bad that 3 or four floors in these buildings were backed up and had to be cleaned out by hand.

It was discussed at morning worship and asked if anyone knew who was doing this to let your floor overseer know. Alot of people were sent home.

Disgusting teenagers and twenty somethings... lol

Anyone who has taken a basic statistics course in college will understand that the majority of polls are skewed and inaccurate(much more than just the 5% this way or that which is stated)

My wife and I have begun our fade

by James Jack in

i haven’t posted in awhile.

my wife asked me after the year 2000 came and went without fanfare(because the wt organization said all the “new world” would be here within this 20th century would end), “ what would it take for you to leave the truth?”.

my reply was “ if i turn 60 in this “system of things”.
