Josephus/ I am Quasi New to the Board as u can see
by truthlover inwhile reading some excerpts from his writings, i noticed that he gave the year when seth was born at 230 years vs the 130 years mentioned in the bible.. does anyone know why this difference?
this is repeated many times when dealing with births in his antiquities.. i will not be on the board today but if anyone feels free to answer, i will be checking in later .
watching for some time and appreciate all your info.

Thank u all so much for your info -- you must have all understood I left Adams name out when I indicated wrongly, that 230 years vs the 130 years were mentioned after Seth's name...I dont remember hearing of why this year discrepancy happened but with all the info given, I will have a better understanding thanks to you guys and gals
Bottom line is -- we really dont know where we are in the stream of time vs the Bible timeline - as Narkissos pointed out there is a 586 year difference using the LXX vs the MT - has those years been accounted for in any publication that the WTBTS put out? and Leolaia mentioned a difference of
290 years so now the questions is "Where the ..... are we in the stream of time to the end of the system?" Any guesses?

ROHO or ROJO I think is the same thing - its pronouces spanish ---also -- perhaps the American red Cross may get you what you need with a donation -- then u can keep the equipment until no longer required or new stuff is needed.

YM- re the air matress bed - if you cannot get one of those, you can go on ebay and goto the med section - they sell air mattress overlays which could be used in the same way, also if she is using a wheelchair a lot, you can get a ROJO cushion - it is essentially a air seat that does not allow for skin breakdown - which she may need anyway after the operation..
I was unable to get a air matress overlay so I purchased dense foam about 2 inches thick and that seemed to work for the interim.
Skin integrity is of the utmost importance and it doesnt take long for bedsores to develop. Zinc ointment is a great healer for skin breakouts...
Just a few thoughts to help if I can

Many years ago it was mentioned that old Armstrong was affiliated with the WTBTS way back when - that is why the closeness of the beliefs seem to match-- but they did admit wrong, whereas WTBTS will not admit anything - their mags always seemed to parrot the WT - then there was a split with Garner Ted (son) and old Armstrong....

Y-man:
You are a man among men! usually it is difficult for a man to care for his sick wife and handle all the duties a household requires, not to mention all the doctors and medical appointments.. I speak from experience as I too took care of my ailing mate for 5 years - it brings a lot of satisfaction, knowing they are at home with you, you can converse, and enjoy each other in a myriad of ways... and somehow, it is not a chore but brings a great measure of satisfaction, knowing you are doing all you can to make them confortable ---but please dont let yourself get tired out.. you will need a break from time to time and it doesnt mean you dont love her any less, its just a break to help you revive yourself to be able to carry on without getting depressed yourself. I know there must be many support groups in your area so reach out if you need too or have some of the family set in for a few hours while you get a break.
You may want to purchase a baby monitor where you will hear your wife or her movements - I had one as well , I also had a small camera connected to our tv in the rec room where I could see the hospital bed at all times when I went on the aux channel - it worked well, also it had audio as well as video... that may save you running to check all the time
A few thoughts but mostly, my admiration for folks like you are very genuine
