What I learned today and last week . I upset some male worker’s in Calgary again . One said it might be better if brother worker’s did the funeral for mom as they had more contacts and technology . I said no , mom and I had made those choices , plus her hymns and Amazing Grace as I did with dad . . Apparently THE HIERARCHY continues in the Truth as female workers are still not given freedom to make their own decisions . THAT IS SO WRONG . I cannot abide by something like that . When those words of women obey your husband in all things and you will have the perfect home life , I cringe every time I hear that . It never worked for me . So sad they had to get permission . A slap in a women’s face . Hey , Dude , we are in the middle of a Pandemic . So I stayed with our plan . I spoke with the lovely lady workers . Thelma & Beverly and they were happy and honoured her wish . Mom had asked Thelma to do the funeral . We were appalled as it was confirmed that the sister worker’s had to get permission . That is sad . Mom used to send peanut butter to Beverly in Africa . Thelma always visited my mom every year after convention . So I forged ahead .
I thought everything was in place . I wrote the obituary and texted it to my brother out of respect . His first words were ........... Do you not know how to spell . It’s not right and I should get more practice for my brain, & how stupid are you ! Plus my writing made no sense . After about 30 seconds I said ......................................... YOU WRITE IT THEN . You must have it at funeral home by noon to get it in the newspaper . He called me twice and tried to apologize to me . I refused his calls . Git it done bro ! He got it done on time . He has not lived in Calgary in 40 some years . He came once a year to see mom .
Some things never change and I refuse to take anymore bullsh- .

1chinesewhispers I applaud the stand that you took. Good on you. It is high time that Men realise that there should be gender equality. The crazy idea of having Woman submit to Men has gone, it was evil and caused all sorts of abuses.

2 whom are you addressing here Wally ? However , I personally am not worried about accounting for my pages of life . All my abusers were MALE except 1 . From 2-13 years old , I endured evil firsthand . Yes , evil , some of the worst sexual abuse anyone could imagine . Evil exists on this rock we are living on . Those words............ Obey your husband in all things ruined many females . As well as many 2X2’s . In all types of abuse . I don’t see God listed anywhere on here ! I do see evil but confused about your post . I have many female workers and friends on this journey right now , trying to protect the small amount of strength and mental health I have left Text’s and calls are still coming !
It was wonderful for you to offer condolences to our family . It was appreciated .

Sad to say and it’s not a woes me . For the second time my kids have had to break the lock on my bedroom . These issues at present are again too much . I am having night terrors again . I was screaming and crying . This is the affect of CSA and PTSD ! It is hard on them ! It had been 7 years since I had one . Praying that they don’t happen for too long . Yes evil , pure evil can do this ! I don’t think we ever heal from the trauma . 3 family deaths in just over 6 months is overwhelming .

CSA is serious & dangerous , insidious to say the least Not something we just get over by snapping our fingers and it leaves ! You are doing well by sharing. You can reassure yourself with the fact that some people, even if not all people, can be instructed about the devastation of these serious events you have been through. And they are the ones who can help victims and deal effectively with the problems. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

I must admit , that some on here have , crawled under my hard shell . Into my heart ! Ya know who you are . Some great therapy by the way . There is a worker who spoke of her pain and past in confidence . That lovely lady worker reached out from afar . She shared her issues and she understood it (CSA) and my life story . I shared as well . We bonded together on a different level . So many people all over the world Jus gotta love it ! She too has had mental health therapy and continue’s with medication therapy and counseling . Another day has arrived . My little junkie is 8 months clean and sober She starts a new course of cognitive behavior therapy today . So we continue on with life , we try to deal with the fact mom is gone ! So many triggers around this . This is a dangerous time for mental health issues . COVID-19 is causing more mental health issues . I am not stable . So I may take a short stay in psychiatric ward . Courtesy of Alberta Health Service’s . Why do I admit that ? Because I am human and understand what mental health is about . No shame in admitting THAT . NO STIGMA ! Plus someone with good intentions gave my iPhone number out . Again a new phone number coming ! I feel very unsafe after that . GREAT NEWS ! I had already booked this my flight to TEXAS . ALREADY HAVE HAD MY VACCINATION . First group to go as I have (pre-existing health problems I need to get it together before I go . She has enough stress already . My zen , my deck and long talks into the wee hours , about everything . We share everything . Blessings to have a Bestie as far back as I remember ! I so love my bestie, from Texas ,she is with me at all times . She offered to come to me in YYC ! Good thing unlimited calls and texts . No matter what happen , we would have continued any ways . I love that girl with everything fiber of myself ! She has been holding me together . So yes we agree I need to go to hospital .❤️☺️😊

Just the progression of evolution. Evolution is an ongoing thing, the human mind is still developing. Science is discovering new knowledge every day, that does change people's thinking.
What is Plato's view of knowledge? There are three necessary and sufficient conditions, according to Plato, for one to have knowledge: (1) the proposition must be believed; (2) the proposition must be true; and (3) the proposition must be supported by good reasons, which is to say, you must be justified in believing it.

I'm picking that when Plato wrote "The Republic" he had never heard of the Jewish god.

This is what Plato wrote about. from Wikipedia.
The Republic (Greek: Πολιτεία, translit. Politeia; Latin: De Republica) is a Socratic dialogue, authored by Plato around 375 BC, concerning justice (δικαιοσύνη), the order and character of the just city-state, and the just man.

I have yet to find a signed original copy of "The Republic" but I will still haunt second hand book shops while I am able.

Obviously the question was too hard. There is a big difference in thinking between Philosophy and Religion. Don't think Plato would be too concerned what the Children of Israel were about. He was a Philosopher, not a Priest.
Philosophy is the most critical and comprehensive thought process developed by Human beings. It is quite different from Religion in that where Philosophy is both critical and comprehensive, Religion is comprehensive but not necessarily critical. Philosophy , on the other hand, is a critic of belief and belief systems.
Plato didn't speak Hebrew, and the Old Testament had not yet been translated into Greek. Additionally, while the Greeks had contact with the Persians and Egyptians and their ideas, the Israelites weren't known as an intellectual or military powerhouse at the time, so I doubt that the Greeks paid them and their religion very much attention.
