I can quote the info, however I really do not understand the theology behind the belief Terry. Please enlighten me.
Sophia is the Feminine Aspect of God, according to Gnostics. In the hierarchy, as listed... Ein Sof (the over-God) who created all things; Sophia, the female aspect of Ein Sof, who became aware and created Eve as a sacrifice of herself for Adam; Yahweh, the accidental creator of the flawed world and Adam (by bringing an Angel down and enclosing him in flesh as an act of cruelty)

after plugging in terry's hints I am sure it is sophia ( The hints where close to Nag Hammadi, Thunder , perfect mind) They pointed me to gnostic beliefs the primary one being sophia (also known as wisdom) the female face of god)
Thunder, Perfect Mind
For I am the first and the last.
I am the honored one and the scorned one.
I am the whore and the holy one.
I am the wife and the virgin.
I am the mother and the daughter.
I am the members of my mother.
I am the barren one- and many are her sons.
I am she whose wedding is great,- and I have not taken a husband.
I am the midwife and she who does not bear.
I am the solace of my labor pains.
I am the bride and the bridegroom,- and it is my husband who begot me.
I am the mother of my father- and the sister of my husband
- and he is my offspring.
I am the slave of him who prepared me.
I am the ruler of my offspring.
But he is the one who begot me before the time on a birthday.
And he is my offspring in (due) time,
and my power is from him.
I am the staff of his power in his youth,
and he is the rod of my old age.
And whatever he wills happens to me.
I am the silence that is incomprehensible and the idea whose remembrance is frequent.
I am the voice whose sound is manifold and the word whose appearance is multiple.
I am the utterance of my name. - and many are her sons.

Natick, MA Assembly Hall
by Eiben Scrood ini have a lot of memories of attending assemblies there for 30 years.

I was baptized there, I remember how nice the pond looked before they fenced it in so no one could use it. I directed the tv control board once, I never did again due to the restrictions put on me. ( what shots to take, how many times you could change the camera angle) no wonder everyone talked in cafeteria during the sessions. The program on tv was the ultimate in boring. lol

His obituary is so short . How sad. I wonder if that was because so many of his JW family disagreed with his beliefs?

Rabies infection is caused by the rabies virus. The virus is spread through the saliva of infected animals. Infected animals can spread the virus by biting another animal or person. In rare cases, rabies can be spread when infected saliva gets into an open wound or the mucous membranes, such as the mouth or eyes. This could occur if an infected animal were to lick an open cut on your skin.

I'm pretty sure there are very good and less painful drugs for rabies these days. Used to be, you'd get an extremely painful series of shots through the stomach, or something like that. Now you get a series of painful ones in the tush.
I just wanted to address this misconception. Rabies is a viral infection. There is no known cure for rabies . The series of shots you get imediately after being bitten are a vaccine given to prevent you from contracting rabies. it is very important to get this vaccine as soon as possible after potential exposure. The disease of rabies is almost always fatal. The shots are no longer given in the abdomen. I have included the reference below. Treatments and drugs
There is no specific treatment for rabies infection. Though a small number of people have survived rabies, the disease is usually fatal.
Rabies shots include:
- A fast-acting shot to prevent the virus from infecting you. This injection is given near the area where the animal bit you as soon as possible after the bite.
- A series of rabies vaccines to help your body learn to identify and fight the rabies virus. Rabies vaccines are given as injections in your arm. You receive six injections over 28 days.
