    She has to make sure she gets the approval of the taking the lead.

    I hate when the witnesses throw away human beings for the sake of the craptower

    Update. We had a en exchange of views on this, is it cos I am now here that I am less tolerant of her views? I hope not. I like it here I just find long term views held are reaffirmed here. Hope to patch it up though I doubt it. Onwards & upwards

    I know your world all too well. So many deeds, so little appreciation. I think someone "upstairs" is keeping tabs though.

    Sacred service is expressing of highest self, it comes from deep within; It is not mechanical;

    therefore it rules out most repetitious acts .

    That's where the Jewish term CORBAN came into use:

    (Mark 7:9-13) 9 Further, he went on to say to them: "Adroitly YOU set aside the commandment of God in order to retain YOUR tradition. 10 For example, Moses said, ‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and, ‘Let him that reviles father or mother end up in death.’ 11But YOU men say, ‘If a man says to his father or his mother: "Whatever I have by which you may get benefit from me is corban, (that is, a gift dedicated to God,)"’— 12 YOU men no longer let him do a single thing for his father or his mother, 13 and thus YOU make the word of God invalid by YOUR tradition which YOU handed down. And many things similar to this YOU do."

    Good luck on reasoning with your wife.

    Well the only christian I see here is one, you. Pretty pathetic when you can't help your own parents and go to the meeting instead . Like there are no more ever

    going to take place!

    I'm sure they will appreciate your help and kindness.

    cheers!
