Thanks for all the responses ! The pain is getting a bit more tolerable . Icing seems to be helping.
I see my Physician Friday for a previous scheduled appointment so if things are not much better by then I will have him give me advice (drugs).

OMG it hurt ....I couldn't straighten completely up afterwards . So I went to see the Chiro ,he used an activator on my back and now the pain is worse ! I took a muscle relaxer and have been putting ice on the area ,but I just could not sleep . It feels better sitting up .....walking down the stairs from my bedroom brought me to tears ...
So now what should I do ? Wait it out or go see my regular Doctor tommorrow ......I don't think I want to see the Chiro again
Is it normal for it to hurt os much after an adjustment ? I have seen Chiro's in the past and it always has helped ,but this time I 'm not sure it was worth it .....

When did this forum go apostate?
by B_Deserter ini was curious because i had heard simon was a jw when he started this forum.
i was looking through the old posts, but couldn't really pinpoint one that was a "turning point" so-to-speak.
simon must have left the j-dubs at some point.

Snowboarder ,I wish I could give you a big motherly hug . I read all your posts ,and think about what your going through , it saddens me deeply your life is and has not been your own . I wish you could have remained in the country you loved and developed a close relationship with your grandparents .
It is hard for you right now because your young and still dependent upon your parents . My best advice to you is to never lose your focus and desire . One day you WILL be able to pursue your own destiny .....patience ....it will happen for you .
Continue to vent your feelings here ...it is good to have a release .

Sex at 14?
by headisspinning inhello all.... some of you have been following our story from the beginning - and even those of you who haven't should be able to relate to my quandary.... last week my 14 year old son told me he no longer wants to be a jw.
we laboured over telling his jw dad all week.
well, on friday night he finally came clean.. but in a bizarre and unexpected twist, after having sex with his girlfriend for the very first time - in his father's home that very afternoon.

I think it is important to ask him why he choose to have sex . Was it just hormones or something deeper ? You said he doesn't want to be a JW was this his way of getting out of the cult quick card ? Or does he want out of the JW's because he discovered sex ?
No matter what 14 is young and there is no reason why you shouldn't encourage him to put on the brakes for a couple of yrs . It is good he can talk to you openly about this ,but you are the parent and it is important for you to set guidelines as to appropriate behavior . It doesn't have to have religious meaning behind your reasoning ....it is just good common sense !

Carolyn Jessop
by mamalove inwhen she was on oprah some years ago, promoting her book escape, i was mesmerized.
(for those of you who are not familiar, she was a member fo the fundamental mormon sect and broke free).
i went to school and had worked with mormon's in the past, so i was intruigued.

Just finished her book today ,amazing strength this woman has . I read the book in two days I just couldn't put it down . When she talks about how she felt as a kid really hit home with me . Several things she said reminded me of how it was as a Witness .

I have recently been introduced to a new group of friends . One woman in the group puts on a Mother's Day BBQ every year for all her friends ! This will be our first year , and it sounds like a blast .
I am amazed how warmly my husband and I hve been integrated into already established groups of friends .

What's the most dumbest/petty thing you've heard of someone being "stumbled" over?
by Reality79 in- some loser once took offense that i hugged a sister goodbye at a leaving do and ran back to the elders like a little child telling on me.
i was 15, this sister was in her 40s at the time.. - this elder said someone told him they saw me with a copy of the sun newspaper.
yes, this paper is known for its 'page 3' topless girls but far from pornagraphic and i wasn't even thinking along those lines.. - one brother who had a good job was 'counselled' because he was actually able to buy himself nice things including a new car (shock, horror!!

I live in the mid -west and our winters get alot of snow and freezing temps in the winter . For service I wore a long coat and high boots ,so under neath I sometimes wore pants out in service instead of a dress . How would anyone know ? But a sister complained .... The Brother used the reasoning "what if you go in a householder's house and took off your coat " ( oh I don't know ??? pants would cause them to have a heart attack ? ) Good grief !!!!
