  from this post on reddit.com/r/exjw, damon wayans was at the 2017 annual meeting.

  the wayans were raised as jw's but i don't think any of them stated.. strange to see him here.

  this is the same man who defended bill cosby from all the sex abuse allegations..

  Do they take the GB seriously?

  so this is an honest question that i have been thinking about for some time.. do regular jehovahś witnesses in other countries (other than the usa) take the governing body in new york seriously?.

  i mean, i cant help but wonder about the publishers in japan, or south africa, or mexico, or new zealand, or even the uk, or spain, or italy...... or russia?.

  not you and i (we know what you think of them), but the regular jwś...... do they take these american buffoons seriously?

  Kinda hard to watch an encouraging video WHEN THERE ISN'T ANY FREAKING ELECTRICITY ON THE ISLAND OF PUERTO RICO!

  Why do I have this cartoon sequence in my head where a truck screeches up to a congregation group, unloads a generator, Big Screen TV, and DVD player, hooks it up quickly, plays the message, then, just as quickly, dis-assembles it all, loads up the truck, and screeches off....

  The only way I would enjoy the words "Don't Give Up" in an arena setting is if it were sung by Kate Bush and Peter Gabriel live on stage.

  A small wooden box arrives on the doorstep of a married couple, who know that opening it will grant them a million dollars and kill someone they don't know.
  (I'm sure it was "pressing the button" ... maybe that's the book version I read?)
  So they take the box apart and decide that it doesn't contain anything so can't really harm anyone, and they press the button.
  The creepy guy who left it returns, notes that they have pressed it (it's a test) and as he's leaving says "I'll give this box to someone else ... someone who doesn't know you"
  Yes, the person who dies is the previous owner of the box. If you refuse to press the button, you save yourself.
  Everyone fails the test.

  The 80's "Twilight Zone" adaptation episode plays out like you describe. The original story is more darkly funny.
  

  In the original short story, the plot is resolved differently. Norma presses the button, and receives the money—after her husband dies in a train incident where Arthur is pushed onto the tracks (the money was the no-fault insurance settlement, which is $50,000 instead of the $200,000 in the Twilight Zone episode). A despondent Norma asks the stranger why her husband was the one who was killed. The stranger replies, "Do you really think you knew your husband?"

  Matheson strongly disapproved of the Twilight Zone version, especially the new ending, and used his pseudonym Logan Swanson for the teleplay.

  Follow up: the baby did not survive

  it was always a long shot anyway.

  but, after a week of emotional pain for the mom, and extreme physical pain for a helpless infant, the baby's body finally succumbed.. all those prayers from the parents, from family, from friends, were absolutely worthless.

  that is a deity for ya!

  Steel-Okay. I will wait until one of my family members passes away before I express an opinion. Thanks for setting me straight.

  I think I need to make something clear: This happened to a woman at my old hall, no relation to my family. She had been posting updates all week long on Facebook, and actually posting updates on her condition through her pregnancy. My posting was just observation of the ridiculousness of the belief in "the power of prayer" and in religious beliefs in general.
  
  In a matter of great timing, Betty Bowers (America's Greatest Christian (tm) ) just posted a video this week that pretty much sums it all up!

  Doctors visit for postrate

  my friend related to me that when he went for a check up at the doctors he was advised to get his prostate checked at first he baulked at that prospect thinking no man is going to put his finger up where the sun dont shine,.

  his doctor reasoned with him that it is better for him to find out if something is wrong early because it can be dealt with a good chance of recovery however leave it too late and it can be fatal.. my friend being convinced agrees to the examination .. doctor : drop your dacks get up on the examination table and assume the position where i can examine you.. my friend : turns his head round to the doctor and asks doc why are you using two fingers ?.

  the doctor replies ,i want to get a second opinion ..

  The exam is a cakewalk compared to a prostate biopsy. I had one of those last year. After that, I can reason that there is damn little else that can be done to me that can equate with that. Not even the colonoscopy that I had this year even compared (and at least for that, they knocked me out; I was wide awake for the biopsy!)
  
  But, you know what is worse than a prostate exam? Unchecked, untreated things like prostate cancer! You can take at thing like being able to urinate for granted, until the day that you can't.
