Why do TV networks keep "bleeping" out Trumps comments and statement?
by RubaDub ini don't understand it.
we have a president who is typically considered a model for what young people want to be when they grow up.
yet, when trump talks, the tv networks keep bleeping out so many of his words, even on fox news.. why?

I agree with Rub a Dub. I hear Trump speaking and I end up thinking it's some rap artist.

One of the guys at work put together a Super Bowl board and I tossed in my $20. This morning he handed me $750 as my numbers, 0-0, were in the half-time and 3rd quarter score. I had forgotten I was even on the board. I think this was the first time I had ever won anything on a sports board. It was a nice way to start a new work week.

It's the NFL's 100th year, not the Super Bowl's. The Super Bowl started being played when the American Football League and the National Football League merged during the 1960's.
The half-time show was okay. As mentioned above, Prince put on a hella show in 2007...in Miami...in a pouring rain.
Whitney Houston did a nice version of the National Anthem. She sang it straight for the most part. I do wish more singers would just sing the song and not improvise. Unless you are Marvin Gaye.

by JimmyYoung inthis guy was not a born in and did not really work his way up from the very bottom.

All the high ranking officials of the Society gather at HQ and prospective candidates are nominated. After much debate and prayer ballots are cast. If a candidate receives 2/3's of the vote - HOORAY - a new GB member is in. If not the process is started again. A fire is lit after the vote. Black smoke means failure and white smoke means success. Or maybe a bunch of names are tossed in a hat and one is pulled out. I really don't know. I'm sure that whatever the process, it is Jehovah approved.

This is Xi and Trump colluding to push Trump's impeachment trial off the front page. If Trump is judged Guilty, people will start dropping like flies and Trump will declare himself President for Life, just like Xi. Anonymous sources are preparing to come forward and unverified documentary evidence is being gathered. Coming soon to a Twitter account that has a blue "been verified" check mark.

I heard that in California this behavior has almost been normalized. San Fran has a "poop patrol" that responds to cases of human and animal waste. Its the old saying, you gotta go when you gotta go.

Which songs give you goosebumps?
by LoveUniHateExams ini don't know if this topic has been covered before - it might 've been.. i also recommend flipper's excellent music thread ('what songs have you been listening to?
', or similar).. but, i'd just like to start a thread about certain songs giving me goosebumps.
y'know, when you hear a song that profoundly effects you in some difficult-to-describe way and the hairs on your arm stand on end even though the room temperature's comfortably warm.. so, which songs give you goosebumps?.

My choice is a bit odd since I usually lean towards music from artists like Merle Haggard, but there is something about Vivaldi's Winter that can almost move me to tears. Here's a version I just found played on a piano. Have to marvel at the artist's skills:

Is it possible to nullify a baptism?
by idk123 inhope you are all well,.
i was wondering within the organisation if there are any guidelines or grounds for nullifying a baptism.
see i grew up a jehovah's witness and was baptised at age 13, i didn't get baptised for the right reasons, i felt pressured to because my friends were getting baptised at the same time.

The best way to renew a relationship with family after being disfellowshipped is to go make a success of yourself. I've seen this happen.
A witness kid was baptized when he was 14 or so. When he graduated High School he announced he no longer wanted to be a JW. This sent an earthquake through his family and congregation as his dad was an uber-elder, his mom had been a full time pioneer forever, and his sister had married a bethelite and moved to NYC. The son was disfellowshipped and shunned by everyone.
The disfellowshipped young man continued to live in the area. He married (no family attended or acknowledge the wedding), had a couple of kids (not acknowledge by family), and lived his life. He started a business and it turned out that the disfellowshipped man was quite the entrepreneur. Then his father, the elder, went to work for him. In fact, a few others in the congregation went to work in his company. They justified it by claiming they actually worked for the elder father, not the disfellowshipped son. Turns out they are one big happy family!
You may have heard that "living well is the best revenge." So that is my advice to anybody, live well and sooner or later the ones who are shunning you will turn up like nothing had ever happened.

i drove in New Zealand and got used to driving on the left side in short order. Where I would tend to mess up was checking to the left first when making turns. Ended up with my head swiveling several times before pulling out.
The checking to the left first when walking across a street is particularly dangerous. I wonder how many people get smacked making that mistake while walking around town in a left side country?
As a friend in New Zealand told me, "In America, you drive on the right side of the road. In New Zealand, we drive on the proper side."
