I 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? He is the model for our young people. We want to aspire to be and talk like him. I don't recall this with Obama, George W. Bush, Clinton, Bush Senior, Reagan, Ford and even Nixon.

What goes?

Anyone ever get blow back for owning and riding a motorcycle?

by JimmyYoung in

my wife's family rode motorcycles all their life.

her grandfather was an elder.

i was told by some dubbers that it was not christian to use a motorcycle.

30 years ago, we had many brothers in the upper New York City area that had motorcycles, mainly off-road bikes. Not a problem. Probably a dozen in our congregation.

I really wanted a Harley but due to the expense and limited time of the year to ride, I told myself, "Self, when we go to a warmer climate, I will get my Harley."

Well, in retrospect, after having moved to the South Miami area, if you ride a motorcycle on the road you are living with a death-wish. I was really pissed.

I thought I could ride the bike year-round here ... but with the way people drive and disregard anything that relates to traffic, I saw within a few weeks that this is not the place to be on two wheels.

Will Armageddon Survivors Be Able to Marry?

by Expanded-Mind in

hi blondie!.

thirteen years ago you commented on an idea circulating among some jws prior to 1975, that there was a possibility that armageddon survivors might not be able to marry.. "these vows that honor god are used—not from the bible but the only ones sanctioned by the wts.. for as long as we both shall live together on earth according to god's marital arrangement.. when i was in my 20’s, many jws interpreted this to mean that at some point in the 'new system' marriage would end.

since this was shortly before 1975, many jws rushed to get married worried that they would never have the chance (and never have the chance to have sex.

Men will marry but be smooth like the Ken doll and squat when they pee.

Iowa Democratic Caucus - Just WOW

by Simon in

there was a babylon bee or onion spoof article a few weeks back claiming the democrats would lose their own caucus and ... well, they managed to do it for real.. apparently they can't count their own votes, their app and process is now steeped in corruption (created by a company called 'shadow' that has taken money from multiple candidates as well as the dnc and has links to clinton) and multiple candidates have declared themselves the winner.

biden has apparently done so badly that he's going to court to block the results being announced.

no estimate of when they will be released even.. how do they come up with this ... and what does it mean for the election results where they oversee the counts?.

RubaDub

Maybe the app and computer used to count the votes was a new one installed in Hillary's closet.

(You see boys and girls, Rub a Dub recognizes things on both sides of the respective shit piles).

i’ve heard some people praise him for his zeal against president trump.

others have not been so praiseworthy toward the california congressman.. today he was so concerned that trump might be so emboldened now that he has won acquittal, that he suggests that trump might make a deal with russia and sell them the state of alaska.

😐.

If we celebrated Halloween and if I had two kids, it would be fun to have one dressed like Trump as an orange with a mop on his head and one dressed as Shiff with a strange face and huge eyes.

If you knocked on a door and the person didn't give any candy, "Trump" would scream "you're a son of a bitch" and "Shiff" would scream "he's a liar, he's a liar."

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.

RubaDub

The level of injury fakery in soccer these days is really laughable. I'm not sure how you stop it

redvip2000 ...

You could stop it very easily.

As in Baseball, if you are injured, you leave the game. Bye, adios, take care, see a doctor, hope you're feeling better, see you next game.

That's it.

Schiff is a part of the swamp that the Orange Man wants to drain.

The Orange Man just wants to govern and switch to his own swamp.
