Well the assembly saga continues......yesterday morning (I think) my wife met with the pesky sister hwo she had a 'bible' study with in the past, well it seems that due to some impending surgery, this sister has passed my wife off to another sister for her study. The first sister was a bit young for my wife's liking, she wanted someone with more 'life experience', so she has been passed to someone else.....hopefully a hardline jw. I think I had mentioned on another thread that my wife had talked to the former study sister about reading the 'bible', something my wife has not done in the past.....in the great witness way of studying the bible, she was handed our third copy of the bible teach book, the english version of reasoning from the scriptures (I have her first copy here) and she gave my wife her copy of Insight in the Scriptures. I asked my wife if she was going to just read the 'bible' on its own, the answer I recieved (not at all to my surprise) was 'we need help to understand the bible'. I tried to talk to her about the Bible being God's inspired word and the help materials being of man, but I think the sister may have prepared her a bit for this, cause I started getting the bit about the anointed blah, blah, blah.......(and by the way, isn't a lot of the writing now being done by the non-anointed?)
OK, now back to the assembly. After meeting with the pesky sister, she had called me and asked if I would take Friday off of work and attend the assembly with her....I could think of many better ways to spend my time, but did not instantly say no, or yes, but I would think about it. My wife has been a MK consultant for some time now, well as the evening went on she set an appointment for Friday afternoon at 2:00 pm (meaning she will need to leave around 12:00 or 12:30) and then another appointment for early Saturday afternoon about an hour from home, (going to attempt to make as early in the afternoon as I can) as well as hoping to set another appointment for Sunday afternoon.
I am not trying to be overly pleased with the developments, because I think a lot of the bs they discuss she may see through, since she has started to develop a bit of an ability to think on her own!!! Needless to say...quite confusing.
