In our area, there is a doctor who does surgery for presbyopia, near sightedness, etc, all in one operation. It sounds much like cataract surgery, where the entire lens is replaced with an artificial one. Is anyone familiar with this ?

what are you doing for halloween?
since leaving the jw's, has anyone gone out to halloween parties?
do you dress up in a costume?
I'm going to Joy and Steve's party also, can't wait. Haven't been to a Halloween party in over 40 years, and feeling just a bit wicked!?
Anyway, I'm going as Queen of the PLUS SIZED Celtic elves. So if you are approached by a big green blob with hair, it's only me!

A wonderful story...thank you so much for telling it. That's why this site must never be closed. Everyone with doubts needs to read accounts like this to gain strength and courage. Just knowing that whatever you are undergoing at the hand of the organization is not an isolated incident..that you are not alone, puts one on the road to freedom.

A husband and wife are getting ready for bed. The wife is standing in front of a full length mirror taking a hard look at herself.
"You know, dear," she said. "I look in the mirror and see an old woman. But there is a bright spot, the doctor told me today I have the breasts of a twenty year old woman.
"Ha," her husband snorted , "but what about that fifty year old ass of yours!"
The wife replied calmly, "Dear, your name never came up."

tonite , i was afraid of the feelings i might have passing thru the area where my mom and dad grew up , where all of my family still lives, and where my mom is buried.. my son, jake had a game in natchitoches and we had to go right thru the area to get there.
i decided at the last moment to stop my grandfathers place.
when he died it went to my mom, but since she was dead before him, it goes to my sister and i. .
What a beautiful and touching post. I got goosebumps reading it.

Moving on is tough, I know. Losing your religion AND a loved one is a life changing experience. Especially when you've been counting on seeing that parent or child in the resurrection, and then find out there ain't gonna be no resurrection, as least not as the Watchtower portrays. Take care.
