I feel for you girl. I had a horrible foot pain for months a few years ago. It took about 5 visits to the chiropractor, and on the last one he really worked it and bing! Instant relief.

Whoah and I thought some JW tracts were silly
by Oroborus21 in.
but these on this site are hilarious - "let's scare them out of hell" seems to be their theme:.

In junior high I spent a lot of time "witnessing" to a Pentecostal girl. We went round and round with our proof texts and no one really "won".
She tried relentlessly to give one of her tracts, which I finally accepted, only because she accepted the WT. I snuck it home and hid it in my bottom drawer . . . contraband, you know. It was the tract from this link! I think I burned it after I read it, so seeing the same pictures from so long ago kinda freaked me out a little.

Great ideas, everyone. The nun's habit and the fake nose & mustache are especially tempting.
I'm going to have a list of the best of these in my purse to refer to and also a list of change of topic subjects.
I'm off to my hometown now. I'll post of the experience when I get back.
Thanks, guys!

Great suggestions. I'll keep them all at the ready and pull out whichever seems appropriate at the time.
Jeff, yeah, wouldn't it be something if I found some else in the same boat?
I'll let you know how it went after the weekend.

If I said that in my little hometown congregation the feathers would fly. My grandmother's memorial service would be pushed to backstage and within minutes every elder in the KH would be asking if they could talk to me privately. My mother would cry, "How could you do this to me in front of all my friends?" and my five years of careful fading would disintegrate.
Okay, maybe that's a little dramatic. But it would definitely create a stir. I hate the thought that my grandmother's funeral turning into a gossip fest about me, but that would be their doing, not mine.
Maybe something along the lines of "That's kind of personal, doncha think?" Or maybe, "I'd rather not talk about that at my grandmother's funeral." I'm not into lying to keep my nose clean anymore, but I also don't think the situation is appropriate for the inevitable shocked gasps and shepherding that's sure to ensue if I'm brutally honest.
Not to mention the elders wouldn't hesitate to find out where my publisher card is and contact them to help me back to the flock. Then I'll probably be up against the wall to make it official.
