Something strange

I was sitting in my car starting to fill out the new patient package I picked up from my surgeon's office. I was told I could fill it out early. Well anyways...I'm filling it out when this lady comes to my car and asks if I'm filling out a job application. I told he no. She asked if it was for a family member. I told her it was for myself. She then gives me this pamphlet and starts talking to me about being a Jehovah's Witness. I told her that I was not interested but I thanked her for the pamphlet. She told me to read it because it would probably change my mind about surgery. I just looked at her and smiled and said thank you and put my car in drive and pulled off.

 

Nothing against Jehovah's witnesses but I couldn't help but be a little put off. This lady was actually thinking that she could change my mind about surgery. First of all she didn't know what kind of surgery I was going for also why would I change my mind. it just struck me as odd that she would say that.

are u sure she was not a christin scientist? jw's are not against surgery, they believe in drs, some even are drs. i know this cuz my mom is one & has been my whole life. it is strange that she asked u any of those questions, she was being a bit nosy & forward! i can see if u were @ an abortion clinic or something her suggestive remark but otherwise i agree that she was out of line. ignore the remarks of naysayers, unsupportive people, & ESPECIALLY people who know NOTHING about you or your situation!!! ---for the record, even if you were @ an abortion clinic or some place like that NO ONE has the right to force thier own opinion on you & i do not want you to thinjk in any way that i am defending the actions of this lady!

Maybe she had her own reasons for approaching me. I don't know. I just thought she was a bit over the top. She made me very uncomfortable while I was sitting there listening to her. I tried not to be rude and I heard what she had to say. I took her pamphlet to be nice and that was the end of it. Personally she would not and could not change my mind. I believe in God and I know he is watching over me. If He did not want me to have the surgery I believe I would get some sort of sign. Not to get all religious or anything but I know I'm doing the right thing for me.

thats a possibility. i agree whole heartedly that she was over the top---i even discussed it with my mom. some people in any religious group can be a bit fanatical! anyway, good luck on your surgery. everything will work out wonderfully!!! if you know its the right thing & you have no doubts who cares what ANYONE else thinks!? keep me posted on your progress...
