  I have sciatica - it's a sharp pain in my hip that shoots down my leg sometimes. Mostly it just stays in my hip though. The chiropractor helps, but it's too expensive to pay for unless I'm in really bad shape. Mostly it comes and goes without intervention.

  i am off to the circuit assembly tomorrow.

  not really looking forward to it as it is the first one i will go to after finding out many things on this forum.

  since the last assembly i have read coc, in search of christian freedom, and some of the gentile times reconsidered.

  So how many of us had guilt pangs because our WT was not highlighted?

  we attended several different congregations in different states, and the one common thread among them all was...if you had your study article highlighted, you were a good jw.. honestly, how often did you cover over your magazine when the attendant walked by handing out copies to visitors?.

  sheesh.

  would anyone believe how weird this organization really is?.

  I was always a slacker - I rarely marked my magazines. I don't like to mark up books or magazines, it just feels wrong. If I want to make notes, I do it in a notebook.

  i moved into this new cong for over two years now.

  we have this younger couple that are part time co's.

  i know that they would be busy serving a cong when they are asked to do so, but that is not too often.

  It's odd that he didn't take his phone. Most people don't go anywhere without their cell phone anymore, even if they don't expect to need it.

  hello jwn!

  i don't get to check in here or comment as often as i would like because i have been working so hard at school...but i just have to share my news in hopes that newbees can see that taking the leap to enroll in higher education is worth it-.

  i am graduating this spring with a bachelor degree in art history, minor anthropology...many people (including nonjw's have given me flack for choosing a "dead end" career path) but since leaving the watchtower organization's group-think mentality and "leaning on my own understanding" instead... i decided to say fuck everyone else's opinion...i am going to pursue my passion to work in a museum as a curator or archivist-.
