(sorry guys, it's a girl thing...) has anyone had this procedure done?

it's a treatment for uterine fibroids.

i'm scheduled for it, and wondered if anyone had any first hand experience with it.

Matt, it must have been miserable to sit through that.

May I suggest you use some punctuation in your posts? Your run-on sentences are hard to read.

I agree. Sounds like serious mental illness issues! Poor guy, what a miserable, sad existence. Those experiences must be real in his mind....

What does your congregation do socially now?

by truthseeker in

jw

if you're still in or hear about jw social activities through the grapevine, what does your congregation do now socially?.

my hall does absolutely - nothing - with the exception of high school graduations.

i read a few posts about jw socialising in the 70s and 80s and honestly, reading about it is completely foreign to me - i grew up in the 80s and never experienced the "good times" of jwdom.. it seems most people do their own thing.

nsrn

My parents are still in, but too elderly and ill to attend meetings in person--they use a speaker phone. But they have told me about get togethers recently regarding high school graduations, house warmings, baby showers and anniversary parties. But not the summer picnics and skating parties I remember in the 70's...

I'm freaking out.....

so...blah blah blah - car accident - nerve damage.

the medication i have been on for almost three years to control the muscle spasms due to the nerve damage has some rather interesting side effects.

the medication was an anti-convulsant.

nsrn

So you are getting a few cavities fixed at a time, and keeping good financial records of it, right? Bless your heart (and teeth), I've heard of that being a bad side effect of some meds, but I had no idea THAT severe....

It's official - my first convention

by kurtbethel in

i decided that it was time my study conductor got a payoff for his nearly two years of diligent study and so i told him i will go to the convention in sandy eggo.

i have never been to a kh or assembly or anything that was jw in nature, so i am asking for a little help.

so, i made a print of my beth sarim picture that is my current avatar so i can show it to anyone i meet and the will know i have 'tower cred.

nsrn

Of course, it's been almost 30 wonderful years since I was dragged to an assembly, and I can't possibly imagine why anyone would go willingly...

As I recall, if you don't go looking like the 'cookie cutter' version of a witness, and carrying the right Bible (NWT, black,and visibly worn) you will be immediately identified as someone who is :

1. "New in the Truth"

2. "Interested"

or

3. "Weak in the Truth"

The first two will get you lots of handshakes, welcomes, and offers of directions to the literature counter. The latter will cause parents to pull their children tightly against them and frozen fake smiles. However, rebellious teenagers will find you a facinating thing to look at and wonder about during the sessions. Don't appear too squirrelly, though, or some chubby dark suited guys will tail you closely and call you brother a hundred times.

Is my memory correct?
