  Chiropractic

  by sass_my_frass in

  i have always suspected that chiropractic is a total crock.

  the concept that having your backbone crackled a little bit every month will control your blood pressure, cure your asthma and keep you mobile and flu-free until you're 120 seems farfetched, and yet all my life every time i have had a headache i have been inclined to set up an appointment.. i've really only been in serious pain three times; some bad neck pain which cleared up after a depressing relationship, some lumbar pain from a bad lift incident which cleared up after three weeks of wiggling around on a fitball while i was watching tv in the evening, and some weird shoulder pain which cleared up when i rejoined a gym.

  i have wasted a lot of money for many years - chiropractic just wasn't there for me.

  Hi Sas

  Hope you're feeling better.........

  I've been to chiropractors several times, 3 different practitioners. usually for sever neck or back pain, (just woke up in pain, must have slept funny!) Sometimes it's helped immediately, 0nce or twice it hasn't helped at all, there is on local guy who suggested a bi-weekly visit, but I was sceptical about that. I have also been to a local GP(chinese) who specialises in accupuncture and manipulation, and have had some good results with him.

  I think it all depends on the indivual circumstances, and there's no doubt that chiropracty can work wonders in some cases.

  I remember my mum taking me to an osteopath in London, in my early teens, this guy was very popular with witnesses...........I felt that he was a "crock of sh.......know what" - different strokes for different folks!!!

  onyways..........keep well, and I'll be thinking of you in the next couple of weeks as I ski the POW in Niseko!!!! are you jealous??? hehe :)

  Elder's Wife Apologizes In Tears for Shunning Me Yesterday

  had a really interesting experience i thought some here might like to hear about.

  my jw ex-wife and i still own a house together, (she lives in it and a non-jw adult son is living there with her temporarily), not to mention the three kids and seven grandkids we share, so we interact quite a bit, e-mailing, calling or seeing each other a few times a week or so.

  i'm still doing some remodeling to our house.

  Good on you S4

  your post made me feel sad and happy too! It's agonizing thinking about what cults make their members do in the name of the truth.....I'm glad your friend stepped out of the sheepish mindset, even if just for a little while...

  best wishes

  APOSTASCOTLAND

  by Dansk in

  2. friends

  would someone seriously consider arranging for an apostafest up in scotland next year?

  i know i'm asking this early but i feel it would be good to put the feelers out now.. obviously, it would have to be a location easy to get to - so that means stornoway is out!

  sorry, ross & xena.

  Our Friend Linda

  julie and i have both known linda for over 25 years, from when she first became a jw, so we decided to write this tribute to her.. we first met linda in january 1981, when she attended her first ever meeting at our kingdom hall.

  she had been taking the magazines for a few months, since just after she finished university, and had started studying a few weeks before, but this was the first time she had plucked up the courage to attend a meeting.

  julie was having many doubts herself by then, and once again linda was supportive, as was trev.

  Dear Trev

  Thinking of you......it's so unfair.......

  Those we have held in our arms for a little while, we hold in our hearts forever

  I'm happy that you and Linda got to spend this time together, so sorry that it wasn't for longer

  I loved them when I was a teenager and I still love them.

  I help organise a charity caberet show and this year we did a version of hung up gimme gimme, complete with abba and madonna, I was annifrid. We came on the stage and "took the song back off Madonna" It was great fun, and went down well with the audience. I'm trying to get it on youtube but can't get it to work...
