  Hip replacement on Monday. Wish me luck.

  as the title says i'm having a total hip replacement on monday.

  the pain has grown over the years and now i'm using a cane to walk.

  after steroid injections and physical therapy, it was decided that a total hip replacement is appropriate.

  Sorry to hear you are in pain GreatTeacher and I really hope the operation is a success.

  Haven't had the op, but a few clients in work have over the last few years.

  They've all come out of their ops well.

  Two guys I see very regularly aged 69 and 78 are now back playing golf regularly and say the op was well worth it.

  Best Wishes

  i had a day off today and needed to get some errands done in my local town.

  2 carts have allocated here but i never ever see anyone out, even on very nice days.

  70% of the congregation don’t work.

  I ponder that too. When I was in I constantly met people everywhere from the congregations/ circuits/districts I knew.

  Now I see nobody - perhaps they see me first and avoid me....😢😢😢😂

  Nobody else understands

  if you once were fully pimi and truly believed jw doctrine to the core like i once did, when you come to the reality that it is not the truth at all it can be extremely devastating.. i think only other ex jws could ever understand.

  i wasted my entire life i thought the real life was yet to come to wasted the best years knocking on doors.

  now i’m so angry.. i can understand why so many top themselves when they realise it was all lies..

  A lifelong friend confided almost word for word to me the original post quite a few years ago.

  Then, surprisingly after a few life altering events, and doing 'research' they went back into the borg. I suppose as long as they are happy that's the main thing I tell myself...

  I don't blame you. The coverups and hypocrisy that made me eventually leave would just not believed if I told you.

  NotFormer: WT's default reaction is to double down. The trouble with telling yourself and everyone around you that you are always right is that everyone starts believing it. In life, even the things that you could originally claim to be right about can change, so that you become wrong. If you believe that you are always right, you won't make the necessary changes.

  👍👍

  What an excellent summation. It really nails so much of the jw mindset.
