My physically disabled mom attends one day assembly while excusing herself from her best friend's wake.
by RULES & REGULATIONS inmy mom has been physically disabled the last three years.she cannot walk without assistance,needs someone to cut up her food,needs help bathing and is either in bed,in a wheelchair or sitting in an electric recliner.my brother pays for her care while he's at work and takes care of her after work and weekends.. last week my mom calls me to tell me that her best friend of 50 years (who was not a jehovah's witness ) passed away.she tells me that the wake would be on monday night.i told her that i would help my brother get her in the car and stay an hour or so with them and help pay her last respects to her best friend's husband and 3 children.. she tells me that she would have a hard time getting in and out of the car and sitting at the funeral home would be too difficult.so,i decide to attend her best friend's wake to represent our family since neither my dad,mom and brother decide to attend.i attended the wake and told the widowed husband and the 3 children that my mom was sorry that she couldn't attend the wake due to being physically disabled.. i found out that my mom attended a one day assembly on that saturday.
she sat in her wheelchair from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. to listen to the program.i'm pissed that she would miss her best friend's wake but attended an 8 hour assembly.my wife told me that i should of called her on why....." if she's so sick she could physically attend the assembly and not her best friend's wake.

Higher Education - is it really the end of the WT?
by OutsiderLookingIn inas a non-jw, before i started looking into things, i must say i only encountered intelligent jws.
so i was quite surprised to read here and in the pew report about their low overall educational achievement.
granted, my exposure was limited (less than a handful of people over a lifetime) but i met two of them in post-college education (graduate school) at a very good school.

The Egyptian god Thoth smarter then Jehovah?
by Crazyguy inwe can tell by the old testament and other writings that the jews and israelites used a lunar calendar.
thier neighbor to the east eventually switched away from a lunar to a solar calendar.
experts don't know exactly when but the egyptians watching the star sirius were able to make the change as early as 2700 bc or possibly as late as about 1100 bc.

Mid Week Meeting. The book of Job....what does this teach me about Jehovah
by tor1500 inis it me or are you having a hard time commenting on what does this week's bible reading teach me about jehovah & what points from this week's bible study reading can i use in the field ministry ?
i'm having a hard time commenting because what does job show about jehovah....well, # 1 he allowed job's suffering, but he didn't let satan take his life.
# 2 what scripture could one use in the field ministry regarding the book of job...talking to a householder, see if you don't behave, god's gonna get you....or allow satan to get you.
