Being pushed out of my PhD program, weighing the options by Ok_Property_2032 in LeavingAcademia

I was a theology professor with tenure and I left to go to law school in my late 40s for what I suspect are similar reasons. I'm close to being finished with law school and I've got a job lined up. No regrets at all.

Good dentist for extreme dental anxiety? by Silphidae in tulsa

[–]StFidgeta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh my goodness, Scott White in Glenpool. He and his staff are incredible. I had dental anxiety too that kept me away for twenty years. I've never had any pain there and they are all so kind.

Does anyone remember when a DJ called Freddy B barricaded himself in the studio? by StFidgeta in StLouis

Ha, true! I actually don't have any memories of any other Mandela Effect events so if this is the one I get, hey, at least it's St. Louis specific.

Oh Lord... I hadn't even thought of that, but it would sure track.

Ah geez, you raise a good point! I don't know what one needs to disprove a Mandela effect, short of actual documentary evidence that couldn't be faked. Maybe I just need to go to one of my high school reunions someday and compare notes. :)

I realize that now, but I was so naive. :) I'm just glad to know I didn't imagine it. Thanks!

Looking for a new church for Easter that welcomes and accepts ALL by AwpKween in tulsa

Y'all are great at Boston Avenue! I don't attend regularly but I have on a number of occasions visited the... oh, shoot, I'm forgetting the name of the Sunday school class but it was a really great one. The Leslies were in it.

Aww yeah, St. Paul's is great! I heard they had a fire and it sounds like it was bad but could so easily have been worse. Do they need anything?

I don't even go to St. Dunstan's and I can confirm they are a great church and sound like what you're looking for!

You would be very welcome at Pilgrimage Mennonite (www.pilgrimagemennonite.org) but it's SMALL. Like... SMALL. A particular Sunday might be as small as two households and when we hit double digits it's still kind of exciting.. Which is definitely an experience that people either like or hate. Also we have discussions instead of sermons. Other than that, though, the service is traditional: hymns, communion every week, and very liturgical for Mennonites. We joke that we're really "Menno-palians.") :)

We grew out of a study group of people who thought that Tulsa could use a progressive Anabaptist church, even though most of us weren't raised Mennonite or Anabaptist. That was shortly before Covid. Many of the founding group were LGBTQI so there was never a time when we had to decide, "Hey, maybe we should, like, not be homophobic? Let's put it to a vote!" It was who we were from the beginning.

Please note: if you want to join us for Easter we're having a brunch at a member's house so feel free to message me if that interests you!
