Olympics are pretty much in the same category of interest to me. H's A
FUJ, personally, the olympiad was one of my first impression as a kid, 5 years old, dressed in pure white linen suit with the coloured rings, first television, hometown pride.
just watched the ladies marathon, humans experiencing one of their best moments. victories over themselves.
Jws, always living in the future hope, might not understand how important every moment is.

What you don't see are the wrecked bodies of the people who didn't make it.
S: well, ask them if they would do it again, now that they know they will not make it to the top. I would suspect very few would cancel that part of their past, even the abused East Germans, Russians and current Chinese greats.
Center stage at the olympic stadium is awe inspiring btw, even if you are only there to build the wt stage. ( the cleaning crews at all the seats gave the impression of being at the focus of the action)

offered 60 million for a 6 year contract because he can throw -------- well,
Rm: most olympians are not in that category, and the gory year in and year out of professional sports. is the most useless of human endeavours imho. and costly, paid for by all consumers, whether they like it or not.

on a different note.
Women's soccer gold was given to Canada by a Swedish player, who rolled the ball in the shootout into the hands of the Canadian goalkeeper.
bread and circus.

Any institution that spends billions of taxpayer money while there are people living in squalor on the streets should be abolished.
h valid point. but by cutting down the top, you are not going to help the lowest.
some in the bottom are beyond help, and there is also the trickle down effect. the human race has been lifted up most by it's top performers in every discipline. science particularly.
The olympics are just showcasing one aspect of human excellence.
perhaps some of the lowly, that were not in the mainstream employment mill, found jobs in the years long olympian show.
i'm surprised i only noticed this just now, deuteronomy 23:1:.
"no man who has been castrated by having his testicles crushed or who has had his male organ cut off may come...".
🤣.
protecting all those beauties and not being able to dip into the pond so to speak.
C, not having the balls to, not having the hormones, not having the desire even to want to.
There exist now even chemical castration, it does not btw, include removal of the external urinary tract. to put it tactfully.

I was a long distance runner in my 20's Rm
I too was involved in some of these sports in the 1930,40ies,( have a film clip of the long jump, with tabulation done in 1942), soaring off the 10 meter platform, the 15 00 meter races, hitting the wall, the "needles" pain. so, deep interest, fellow feeling here.
Its mostly a contest of human genetics when you think about it.
Rm, yeah, it is amazing how the runners, pole vaulters look like the models that walk the fashion shows. Hope that these fine specimen and speciwomen have more kids than the welfare queens.

watch to where not watchtower , but watch how here:
10 meter ladie's platform: 1.45 seconds in weightlessness, time enough for somersaults and with an entry into the water with only a gurgle.
just one of the amazing feats to feast on. all on energy provided by the father of it all.
i was raised believing i was very fortunate knowing i had the truth.
i was groomed to be an elder.
i figured if mother said something, even if i couldn’t totally understand it, it was correct because mother knows best.
wt's bible agenda fitted the mood at the times, cold war . 40. 50s. other details did not interest me at the time, but time tells, and by the time of the "superior authorities" revelations, my trust, confidence, conviction about wt was a washout.
how could he be, regardless of how god impregnated mary, as she was a sinful human just like the rest of us according to the bible.. mary was subjected to the adamic sin like all other humans, so jesus had to at least be part sinner himself.. to believe otherwise is just deluding oneself imho .. the only way jesus could have been really without sin is if god created him the same way he created adam.. what do you think ?
.
Why not get straight to the point and just make Jesus free of original sin? It's just not logical!
Ds: right, why not even invoke the principle, during the original sin phrase, that the children should not pay for other's (their parent's) sins?.
why not step in, for example and delay the first seductions ( I assume that Eve was very persuasive too, having good assets to back up her offers) until the first conceptions* were viable, and genetic damage would be limited to the original offenders? * I envision Eve having perfect sextuples after perfect sex, giving the same diversity we see since the mythological deluge. 3 procreating couples.
