Jamiebowers- I can't use pain medications, because they make me mean.
Why were you so mean before you took the pain medication? Sometimes you were pure evil in your younger days. (You know I'm just kidding) I'm usually mean whether I take pain killers or not. One of the best aspects of my personality.

I guess it runs in the family!
Now that you're out of the organisation, how do you deal with chronic illness?
Pretty much the same way as I did when I was in the organization. I take care of myself the best that I can on a day to day basis. I have to; no one else will. If I'm in too much pain to clean the house then the house stays as it is. Who cares? At least I don't have anyone nagging me to "DO MORE!" now. No one to add guilt to my pain.
Regarding a "hope for the future", I try to be realistic. In 6,000 years of recorded history no one has been able to come up with any definitive, incontestable theology. I won't assume I can figure it out in the time I have left, and I won't bother trying. I'll take what comes.

Jamie, so sorry to hear about your situation. I have some degenerative issues with my back as well which will get and has gotten worse over time. My doc told me to never let a doctor operate on your back, you have no guarantee that it will work and most of the time it only makes the situation worse. He said to only use it as a last resort when it cannot be controlled at all any more. Most people would say he's a quack but I have been going to him for over 20 years and people fight to get a spot to see him. He's a true gem and I would trust him with my life. Not really good news but I understand where you're coming from!

Hi WTL,
Mark 16
17 And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; 18 they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well."
19 After the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, he was taken up into heaven and he sat at the right hand of God. 20 Then the disciples went out and preached everywhere, and the Lord worked with them and confirmed his word by the signs that accompanied it.

Sadly, JWs a taught not to believe any of that and they suffer as silent lambs to the glory of the WT.
Find yourself a church that believes these things then ask them to pray for healing. As God made the universe then healing anyone or anything is a cinch.
All the best,
Stephen

Jamie bowers- SSSHHHHH, I thought that family thing was supposed to be a SECRET? Don't you remember that inquiring, trolling, lurking minds want to know?
7 years ago my Father died of cancer. Less than two months ago I buried my Mother. My parents dealt with death in that they had progeny to represent them indefinately.
I dealt with it different in that I would see them again.
When I am dead it won't hurt any more.
B S, that is a most definate reality that I look forward to for myself, Here's to pain relief
