    I've personally never wondered that, but apparently some people do...

    (See 00:40 in the video below)

    I can think of one thing deaf people can't do (according to the Governing Body anyway)...

    And is there a survey or study on this?

    Maybe we should ask them:

    "HEY DEAF PEOPLE - CAN YOU DRIVE, GET MARRIED AND RAISE A FAMILY?"

    Splash.

    I've personally wondered how they sing (see 03:10 in the video).

    I watch videos like this and it causes me sadness because on the surface it makes a lot of sense and it should work to build happy families. But I spent years feeling like a failure because it never worked. I wondered often why, if I was trying as hard as I could, why it didn't work. My heart ached because our family was never that ideal family. When I got married it still didn't work. We never matched the stories or demonstrations. It's not real.

    Since we left our family has healed and drawn closer. We have our problems and will need to improve but things are better. We are happier to attend church than the weekly guil lectures at the hall.

    Yes, deaf people can do all that. But is that putting the Kingdom first?
