Also, she stated that an "experience" was given of an elderly woman who is restricted to a wheelchair goes out in service all by herself and if she can't get to a home in her wheelchair, she gets out of it and crawls on her hands and knees over gravel if need be.
Where are the "loving brothers and sisters" that should be helping her?

That is exactly what I was thinking!!!

Where on earth do they come up with this stuff, and how is it possible that the r&f believe it, and pass it on. Ridiculous.

After losing his leg, Dell initially said to himself, "This is it. My life is over." Florindo and Floriano both lost limbs to land mines in Angola. Florindo says that he cried for three days and nights. Floriano similarly had a battle with his emotions. "I was only 25," he writes. "One day I could do everything, and the next day I couldn't even stand up. I was depressed and discouraged."

Quality Living, Without a Limb

In spite of their disability, many with missing limbs lead quality lives. Russell, for example, was born with only the top part of his left leg. At 78 years of age, he still exercises regularly and lives a full life, although now he uses a walking stick. Cheerful by nature, Russell confessed that his long-standing nickname is Happy.

Douglas, who lost a leg in World War II, walks with the aid of a modern prosthesis. As one of Jehovah's Witnesses, he has enjoyed serving as a regular pioneer, a full-time evangelizer, for six years. And do you recall Dell, who thought that his life was over when he lost his leg? He too lives a satisfying life as a pioneer, and he is able to support himself.

How, though, do victims of limb loss fare in poor or war-torn lands? Says the World Health Organization: "The reality today is that only a small percentage of people with disabilities get assistance." Many have to rely on canes and crude crutches to get around. Nonetheless, sometimes help is available. Floriano and Florindo, the Angolan land-mine victims, both obtained prostheses through the International Red Cross and the Swiss government. Floriano happily serves as a ministerial servant in the local congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses, and Florindo serves as an elder and full-time evangelizer.

An association that cares for the disabled puts it well when it states: "The only handicapped people are those who have lost heart!" Interestingly, the Bible has played a big role in giving disabled ones heart. "Learning Bible truth while I was recovering helped me tremendously," says Dell. Similarly, Russell says: "My Bible-based hope has always helped me through difficulties." Just what hope does the Bible hold out for disabled ones?

I heard about a sister who was a special pioneer in Outback Australia who had one leg shorter than the other!

Her name was Eileen.

"I just started a job at a bank and there is a girl there who was using bad language and I told that I am one of Jehovah's Witnesses, and please stop using bad language around me".

So only J-dubs do not use bad language, is that the implication? LOL Or was this person trying to count time?
