Our situation is the same, except turned around. I am the hot one, Pat is the cold one. I bought a dual control electric blanket for our bed, so that helps at night. My side is never turned on and the blanket is usually thrown off of me, but his is up around 8. He knows I cannot sleep if I am too hot, and if I cannot sleep I toss and turn and it disturbs his sleep. But I know that the actual in bed is not the problem at your house.
I keep our thermostat to about 64 to 66 at night. I know it must be hard on Pat when he gets up in the morning, but he doesn't complain. I guess I am the one getting my way in this. I do sometimes turn the thermostat up for him during the day if he is cold, but he's good to try to put on more clothes to get warm and drink some hot tea or coffee to warm up. I have to say, Pat is very patient and gracious about this situation.

Serious advice needed... being df'd without the brothers hearing my side???
by edlewiese inok i have asked several of my friends and they have never heard of being chased by a committee before.
so i am hoping someone has some insight.. .
i'll give you background and yes i am not innocent in the situation but what i was raised to believe is being contradicted by the actions of the elders.. .

I was disfellowshipped in absentia in 1975. I don't remember if I was even invited to meet with them. They called me on the phone on a Sunday morning and told me it was going to be announced at the meeting that morning, which seems strange now because aren't those announcements usually made after the Service Meeting?

Why Would Someone Like me Leave the "Truth"? Part 1
by cantleave inthe title of this series of threads is rhetorical.
i am going to answer it with my own experience.
before i do that, i want to discuss what we are told through the literature and the instruction that is given during meetings, assemblies and conventions, for the reasons why people leave the truth.. the watchtower of 15 november 2008, in the article help them return without delay indicates people leave because of the following:.

As A Witness Did You Typically Feel Guilty?
by minimus ini believe the way the organization keeps many people in its clutches is by means of guilt.
no one can adhere to all of the theocratic rules of the organization and they know that.
i believe jws do things to ease their consciences.

Always, always. I could not sleep at night for thinking of all I needed to be doing in "Jehovah's organization". Life is good now without all that shit.

That's funny - I didn't have an affair with him, but my husband seems to think I did. He keeps calling me and telling me he is on the way home and that Tiger better not be here when he gets home.

replacement pets and relationships....is there a rule?...
by oompa ini love how on seinfeld the always had funny "rules" for everything....esp sex, dating, relationships...... i had a friend tell me the other day she always thought it stupid that people say not to run out and get another pet if one you love dies...that it makes you feel better and can save a rescued animal and give it a loving home....so why wait?.
radio psyche dr laura says wait two years after a big relationship before starting another which i think is way too long...but i get her drift and no i am not a fan of hers but drive a lot and do catch here sometimes.
then another friend told me that the best way to get over a girl/guy is to get under one!....lol...........so i guess everybody is really different and has their take on this..............oompa.

Did You Personally Know Any JWs That Were Sexually Molested By Other JWs?
by minimus ini knew of a handful (which is too many) that were molested by a jehovah's witness.
it was not typical in my experience.

Yes, same girl, quite beautiful girl in her early teens, first fondled by an elder, then her stepfather tried to rape her one night, but she was able to make enough noise to get her mother out of bed and deter him. She ended up going to live with a previous stepfather and her brothers and her mother was the one counseled by the elders, not the stepfather who tried to rape her. She told me this herself. There are others I heard about secondhand.
