  1. I forgot to include the first broadcast of "Monday Night Football" - many thought this was a fad and would have long since ended. I also remember when ESPN and The Weather Channel started (oh, and MTV) channels/networks/services many thought would never last ...
  2. Back when it first started taking hold and worldwide usage increased people thought the Internet was a threat and might need international control. The international control never really came, and the Internet did not have the effects many feared ... although it has had other effects and has spread worldwide. There have been many inventions that spelled "doom" according to some people (look at self-checkout in retail stores) however isn't Jehovah going to put the idea in the hearts and minds of men (people) not machines?
  3. The first "where you when" moment I can remember would be the JFK assassination. The next may have been the premier of Star Trek on TV. Others I remember (in no particular order: Moon landing Apollo 13 John Lennon Berlin wall Challenger - we saw that from the front yard Vietnam War ending Hurricanes Andrew and Catrina 3-mile Island and Chrernobyl 9/11 Trump being elected for a second time I'm sure there are others - they just don't come right to mind
  4. The Jackery should be able to work with both plugged in at the same time
  5. One thing to keep in mind ... many people start talking when they think their job or position is being supplanted by a particular technology or advancement - when it doesn't take those things away, they are OK with whatever comes along
  6. Understanding music from the academic perspective of how music has been taught, written, and institutionalized have been used to maintain social classes, gatekeep professions, and protect elite status
  7. Committees are used to keep any one person from falling into the trap of their own reasoning.
  8. No, the brother I know was too busy holding his wife so she couldn't see what was happening because she couldn't bear to see the second one hit
  9. A little off topic but I recently saw a YT video of a pilot who was scheduled to be the First Officer on the first plane that struck the tower. He was about to leave his house for the airport when he checked the schedule on the webpage and found he had been replaced by a more senior pilot. I also know a brother who was at Bethel during that time and was on the roof and watched the second plane hit the tower.
  10. The question is, did he come to this conclusion after a long, deep research session - or while watching
